Methodist Church.
Sunday school, 10 a. m. J. L.
Brown, Supt. This is a fine time for
us to start on our rally for the Sun-
day school. The attendance was fine
last Sunday for the first time in the
church in a month. Let us all come
back now and see if we cannot make
this Sunday one of the banner days
of the year.
Because of a break in our plans
for the summer we will have our ser-
vices regular for this Sunday. The
pastor will preach at both the morn-
ing and evening hours. At the morn-
ing service he would like to start
again the junior church work. The
only way we can do this is for the
children of our church homes to come
prepared to stay for the church ser-
vice. There are some of the children
that gave their names for membership
durings the meeting that have not
yet been received. We want them
to be sure to be present Sunday
morning and be received into the
church with any others that may have
decided for Christ and the Methodist
church as a place to serve him.
The night service will be evangel-
istic in tone and sermon.
The Epworth Leagues will not meet
this Sunday but we do urge all the
young people and children to be in
the evening service.

Rev. and Mrs. R. W. Nation and
wife and some of the junior girls at-
tended a district quarterly “round-
up” meeting at Hico Tuesday of this
week. It was a meeting for the pas-
tors and laymen from all parts of
the Gatesville district. The reports
from the pastors showed that the re-
vival fires were burning in every pas-
toral charge in the district, some
really great revivals have been held
and some others in progress at this
time. We think there will be more
members received this year on pro-
fession of faith in the Gatesville dis-
trict than for any year in a long time.
Nearly every pastoral charge has had
at least one good meeting, as in sta-
tions, and the circuits two or three.

Baptist Services.
Sunday evening brought to a close
at the tabernacle before a large con-
gregation of people a most successful
series of revival meetings. Our city
and country around was greatly mov-
ed to a higher plain of living by this
Heaven-sent revival. Twenty-seven
new members joined our church, be-
sides those who joined the Methodist
church during these series of meet-
ings. The fellowship and co-opera-
tion of Christian people of different
faiths was most pleasant and helpful,
both to saints and sinners. In soul-
winning and great moral issues, Chris-
tians of all creeds should stand to-
gether for better homes, a better
country, with better Christian organi-
zations.
Christians and christianity is on
trial before a wicked world in this
very age. Morality, righteous laws,
including prohibition, homes and right-
eous institutions are facing a severe
test today. Will Christians, moral-
loving and law-abiding people be true
to the principles of righteousness in
home, state, and church today, or will
they sell out these principles for the
love of money (filthy lucre) to the
forces of evil? I still have faith in
God and enough good people in our
country to believe that righteousness
will prevail under God’s mighty hand,
and that in the testing hour God-
fearing, moral and sober-loving peo-
ple will go to the polls and vote for
righteous men and righteous princi-
ples, irrespective of party affiliations.
Remember, that it is the wets who
are making the fight on the 18th A-
mendment and not the drys; when
they cease their warfare peace will be
had on this question, and not until.
This amendment, together with our
entire constitution cost a great price
and Christians are duty bound to lead
the way in its support so long as it
is in harmony with the Word of God.
Our services are to be regular on
tthe coming Lord’s day and following
week, with S. S. and B. Y. P. U’s. pre-
ceding the preaching hours Sunday
morning and evening. The Bible
School beginning at 10 a. m. and the
training service at 7:30 p. m. Pray-
An Inexpensive Meat Dish
by Jane Rogers
A MERICA has become a nation
A of meat eaters with beef, pork,
lamb and the other offerings of the
butcher forming the main dish
around which the heavy meal of
the day is built. Because of this.
(I
T’s
the family meat bill is a problem
for the thrifty housewife.
Yet it need not be a difficult
problem to solve, for the most in-
expensive meat cuts can be turned
into tasty dishes which will satisfy
the most exacting epicure. There is
nothing mysterious about the prep-
aration of these cheaper cuts. The
secret lies largely in the types of
seasoning used, and the way they
are blended to create a harmonious
whole.
Salt, pepper, sugar, sage and
other standard condiments should
be found in every kitchen, and these
are all important in turning the in-
expensive cut into a delicious dish.
Everyone is familiar with the
seasoning qualities of salt and pep-
per and most of the other stand-
bys. The sugar is a recent discovery
of culinary experts, although it has
been used by continental chefs and
housewives for many years. It
functions, not as a sweetener, but
to “blend" and point up the other
flavors.
Here is one meat dish, made from
inexpensive cuts, that provides a
tasty offering calculated to please
the entire family.
Meat Mound
1 lb. round steak
ground
12 lb. pork ground
% can tomatoes
2 teaspoons sugar
12 teaspoon salt
pinch of sage
1 small onion minced
Mix onions, sugar, sage, tomatoes,
salt and meat until well blended.
Shape in a mound and place in a
roaster. Cover top with four or five
strips of bacon. Place in an oven
about 375 degrees for one hour. Re
move top of roaster the last fifteen
minutes and increase heat.
