The general convention, he said,

the missionary group to the best of
his knowledge, has approximately five
hundred churches in which approxi-
mately one hundred thousand mem-
bers are enrolled.

Should the general convention ap-

Dr. Lewis was introduced as one
who had visited Bay City many times
before and one of his friends were al-
ways glad to welcome anew.
Dr. Lewis choose for his text and
message the story of Paul and Silas,
and their imprisonment in Philippi,
when they were preaching there. He
compared the chains that bound them
with the chains of indifference and
lack of faith that bind the Christians
today. "But,” Dr. Lewis declared,
“through prayer and faith an earth-
quake can loosen the chains that bind
us Christians today, as did the earth-
quake that loosed Paul and Silas long
ago in Philippi.” He also emphasized
the fact that this meeting to be a
success must have the support of all.
Girl Reserve News.
The Girl Reserves learned to do sev-
eral steps of the schottische and the
polka, old folk dances last Friday
ufternoon. Mrs Hurd takght the
steps to us and promised to teach
us more of the folk dances All the
girls enjoyed the steps and are eager
to learn more steps.
The club has decided to have meet-
ings every Friday as that time seems
to give more satisfactory work.

It was to these that “Farmer Jim" di-

result was devastating. The cause of

Regardless of any dilferencessthere
may have been in the past all Texas
owes Jim Ferguson a debt of grati-
tude for the splendid manner in which
he arose to the defense of the Cen-
tennial. Because what he said is of
such great value to the movement
we are reproducing a verbatim sten-
ographic report of what he said. It
follows:
Mr. Chairman: I am deeply thank-
ful. and appreciate very much the op-
portunity to say a few words about
the Centennial. I want to say in the
beginning that I represent no one
except myself, and what I do say, is
not representing anybody else but
myself, as a citizen of Texas, respon-
sible to my own conscience for my
views as to what I say here tonight.
I believe that we ought to speak
plainly about the Centennial, because
it is a big undertaking and involves
a great sum of money so far as the
people collectively are concerned.
I have been interested very much
by the figures that have been pre-
sented by the gentlemen tonight and
I am just wondering if they them-
selves, whom I know to be gentlemen
of high class character, standing for
the best interests of Texas, and high
patriotism, just as good citizens as
you or I I am just wondering if they
have taken a broad view of it that a
person would if they really under-
stood just what this Centennial will
mean to the state of Texas and its
people—I am wondering if they view
this Centennial like I do. and if they
really understand what it is.
Lets go bark a little and see the
purpose of the Centennial and let’s
apply it to the question before us.

one of the best custom
Last year we spent o
n the state of Texas.
lion is not to honor us of today, but
to do honor to those who have made
it possible to have this celebration.
We do not want to spend the time
on ourselves, but we want to show
appreciation for what has been done
by our forefathers. That is the fun-
damental purpose of the celebration,
to show honor to the men who fought
for Texas. And, I wonder if you gen-
tlemen who have been talking here
about the corporations and their
earnings and who have been figuring
about the amount of taxes spent, I
wonder if you would remember that
you would not have been able to pay
that $640,000 taxes you spoke about
and would not have been here to pay
any taxes—has it ever occurred to you
that if it had not been for our fore-
fathers in '36, who died on the field
of battle you would have been fight-
ing those "greasers" down in Mexico
today. You would not have these big
companies, you would not have this
Texas Power & Light Co. with its
ability to pay taxes. 1
We want to do honor to these men
who made it possible for you to build 1
here this great state with its great
industries, and it is just, meet and
proper that Texas, with tlie history
of the years should proceed with this ,
Centennial. And this tax for the Cen- ,
tennial is to be spread over the entire
state,—you are trying to talk about
this tax proposition as if it would be
permanent, as if it would be a tax
proceeding indefinitely into the fu-
ture. Now, we want to hold the Cen-
tennial, I know you want it no mat-
ter how you talk.
Now, I want to hold the Centennial,
and for a different reason. I have a
different reason than the average
man has for the Centennial. The citi-
zens of Abilene, it seems like, think
it is too much money to be spending.
And somebody else says that "I am
in favor of it, but don't tax me, tax
somebody else, put it on somebody
else, put it on the other fellow.”
You will have to get one way or
the other, you gentlemen that are rep-
resenting these captains of industry
and other gentlemen, you will have
to come out and say that you are
against the Centennial or you are go-
ing to get behind it and help put it
over. If you are against it say that
you are against it, or come out for it.
But if you will help put this thing ov-
er go to your principals and tell them
that, and I will guarantee that there
will not be any single man objecting
to this Centennial. And the cost isn t
much. My friend from Houston has
told us that he is paying the fabu-
lous sum in Houston o. $160,000 in
taxes that this bill will cost them
and I thought to myself, that if he
represents 480,000 people, that is only
about 33 1-3 cents apiece, and that
isn't much. And that is not much for
any man to pay who wants to help
put the Centennial over and do honor '
to the great men that built this state
it is not going to help you, you know,
to bring in all of this stu f about fig-
ures, and say you are for it, but can
not stand another cent of cost.
Some men say they are for the
Centennial, but can not have it be-
cause we have a drouth and we have
got a depression, and can not have the
ax because it would run somebody
into desperation. If it would do that
