MRS. M. A. GREEN,
Corresponding Secretary
A MESSAGE FROM THE PASTOR
OF THE FIRST BAPTIST
CHURCH
There are three things which are
absolutely essential to the develop-
ment of Christian experience and
character. They are obedience, fel-
lowship and service.
We are not saved by our obedience
It is by grace, through faith (Eph.
2:8-S>). but there certainly can be n>
happiness in the Christian life with-
out obedience. There can be no vic-
tory without it. and we certainly
cannot scale the heights and breathe
the atmosphere of the conqueror. We
: re not saved by being baptized; it
is grace which saves us through the
atoning blood of Christ which GoJ j
looks upon and through which He j
becomes just while justifying the un- i
godly (Rom. .1:24-25). But many aj
person has forfeited their joy, and
peace because they lived in open dis-
obedience to God's will that they
profess their faith in Him in beauti-
ful baptism.
Wo are not saved by our fellow-
ship. But our spiritual discernment
soon dies if we habitually absent our-
selves from the sanctuary of wor-
ship. Sin creeps into our lives and wc
live defeat-x? lives which miss th"
blessings which Gods intends for
us. God has commanded that we "for-
sake not the assembling of oursel-
ves together, as the manner of some
is." (Heb. 10:1?")). 'The Christian de.
sires fellowship. If a person says
'hat he is a Christian and has no de-
sire to be at the sanctuary of wor-
ship. he deceives himself. (1 John
3:141. He must be born again. (John
3 ).
Furthermore, the Christian life will
express itself in service. Jesus Christ,
the "author and finisher of our
faith" said, "For the Son of Man
came not to be ministered unto, but
to minister, and to give His life a
ransom for many." The frozen pipe J
is not of much benefit. It can not be
a channel of blessing. It is a con-
stant source of worry. What do you
think that God must think of some
of the lives of the professed Chris'-
bitis 7
"Must 1 g" .and empty-handed?
Thus my dear Redeemer meet"
Not one soul m'ith which to greet
Him;
Lay no trophy at His font?"
Every Christian is either ait asset,
or a liability, to the Kingdom of God.
Which are you? Have you cultivat-
ed the three essential qualities in the
development of the Christian char
aeter?
Com • and worship with us again
Sunday, our pastor Mill spiak on
these subjects: "A Covenant With
Death And An Agreement V\ ith
Hell;" and "I Will In No VSi-e Ca •
Out."

SPECIAL PRIVILEGES TO NONE
EQUAL RIGHTS TO ALL
l^'t me ple-tse remind you that my
article of lest week, appearing is
this paper, quoted several of the State
Representatives who expressed their
opinions on the Transaction Tax. Too
way I got these
opinions was by
stopping one Re-
presentative after
the othor Who
chanced to pass my
desk. 1 printed ex-
actly wh«t they
told me to, and ac-
cepted every Re-
presentative's opin-
ion. I did not
choose or select any of them.. Please
do not be of the opinion that I have
tried to mislead the people of ray
County by trying to select opinions
of Representatives who were again.se
O'Daniel. For the last four days f
have inquired, and asked one Repre-
sentative right after the other if he
knew of a State Representative wh i
was supporting, or going to support
O'Daniel'.- Transaction Tax. Up un-
til now, 1 de not know of a single
man who is going to do that.
Governor O'Daniel, on Saturday,
January 21st, told me that he wa-
expecting, and wanted, these Repre-
sentatives to express their opinions-
like they have done. On my telling
him that 1 was writing for my coun-
ty newspaper, he approved of my
quoting these men as I did last week.
OBJECT
The object of this column is to In-
form my constituents of the exact
statute of the situation here in the
House of Representatives.
On first announcing for the office
which 1 now hold, I told you that f
was going to represent every part of
my County to the best of my abil-
ity. 1 also told you that I would wo k
and do my best to get along with
any man you elected Governor, so
long as I tlmught it to be for the good
of the citizens of Bastrop County and
the State of Texas.
HUNTERS
I have a bill prepared to provid"
for a closed season on deer and wild
turkey in Bastrop County for a per-
iod of five (n) years, and providing
for a suitable penalty for violation
thereof. I will appreciate any com-
ment that the hunters, farmers an-f
residents of Bastrop County have to
make on this. The bill has been
drawn up on recommendation of
several of the hunters of my dis-
trict. Mr. William J. Tucker, Exe-
cutive Secretary (if th? Game, Fish
and Oyster Commission, says that-
this bill should be introduced and
passed. If the people of Bastrop
County want it, 1 will be glad to
do it. If you oppose it please let
me know about it.
NIGHT MOTORISTS
On Monday. January 2l>, 1 intro-
duced House Bill No. 213. requiring
drive's and operators of motor ve.
hide.- to dim light when meeting,
and passing others upon the high
ways a night, and providing for a
penalty, not to exceed TWO HUN-
DRED (S200.00) DOLLARS. This
means that none of the fines would
be over probably $1.00 and court
costs, which would run somewhere a-
round *10.00 or $11.0(1. except in in-
stances where one motorist took a
spot light and purposely blinded the
car he was approaching. In this event
the hue will be broad enough to
make it possible to put a heavy fin-
on this offender.
GOOD CITIZENS
You are reading in the papers
every day, the pro and con of the
transaction *ax. I will appreciate all
suggestions you have concerning
this, and other problems confronting
the Legislature. P is a pleasure for
me to appear befor* ihe Old Ag"
Assistance Commission and request
aid for the aged in my County. Since
my ast article on Old Age Assist-
ance, 1 have requested, and sougb*
aid for ninety-tMo (H2 people.
