QUEEN CITY NEWS
(Mrs. J. E. Ellington, Editor)
A Little Child In The Midst
A little G-year-old child found
her mother weeping and praying
for her brother, who is in the
midst of the Korean war, and ask-
ed: "0 mother, whats the mat-
ter?" When told, the child went
to her room and fell on her kuees
—with up-stretched arms—cried
out: "0 Lord help my uncle, and
bring him back home." Jesus said:
"Of such is the knigdom of heav-
en."
Rev. R. A. Gates Dead
Letter from J. Y. Gates, of
Iluntsville, writes of the death
of his dear father, Rev. R. A.
Gates, who passed away Saturday,
November 4th after a very long
illness, at his home in Centerville,
Texas.
Rev. Gates was among our most
loved pastors of Queen City
Methodist church. He and Mrs.
Gates were dear to our hearts and
always appreciated in our homes.
Mr. and Mrs. Gates, then of Tex-
arkana, were often down with their
parents, and made many friends
here.
We of Queen City extend our
deepest love and sympathy to Mrs.
Gates and family.

country and the world. America
has paid a tremendous cost for
the freedoms that have been won
through the years since the found-
ing of our first colonies. Ameri-
ca was born in the search for
freedom.
"And thus be it ever when free
men stall stand,
Between their loved homes and
wars desolations;
Blessed with victory and peace,
may the Heavens rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made
and preserved us a nation."
For ore than a century and a
half the American flag has waved
triumphantly over a free people
and stirring are the stories of its
stars and stripes. Through the
years when our flag has met the
wrath of the foe, in defense of
justice and humanity, millions of
our freedom loving citizens have
rushed to its protection.
Today we are looking up, thru
the war clouds to God, and our
brave leadership, under our banner
to be led into a freedom for all
nations.
Not merely an Armistice—a ces-
sation of hostilities of a short
period, But for Peace. Peace of
mind, heart, national and world
peace. Our heart grows sick over
the world in its confused war
stricken condition today. May God
manifest in the world, lead us
back to peace.

Morning message by Rev. Per-
cy Newton:
"Just One Plane Missing"
"Just one plane missing"—the
news reports say.
That's what Ave hear almost
every day;
But in that one plane was some
mother's son.
To her he was life, love and
happiness all wrapped in one.
It seems to her but a few short
years,
When he fell from his hobby
horse and she kissed away his
tears.
Only yesterday she tucked him in
bed after hearing his prayer.
As today she cherishes a lock of
his baby hair.
Proudly she watched him grow—
year by year.
In every joy and sorrow she was
always near.
Such a fine, handsome man he
grew to be.
She was proud for the whole
world to see.
When he answered his country's
call, with a smile she hid a
broken heart.
Yes—she was proud that he
wanted to do his part.
But oh' how her future darkened,
and from life went her bright-
est light.
When the news reporter said—
"Just one plane missing in the
raid tonight."
By Mrs. Elbert Murry,
Marshall, Texas.
The Fellowship of Suffering
To enter into true fellowship
with Jesus and his suffering for
us, we must do more than read and
think about it. We must know
Him jn a vital living way, seeking
with our heart and giving, our
best to reach and win others to
know Him. We serve Christ thru
serving and helping others. Thru
the hospital and the orphanage
funds we administer to these who
need help.
May our hearts overflow in love
and sympathy and generosity, en-
tering fully into the fellowship of
Jesus' suffering.
Evening theme "The Goal and
Reward."
Rev. Newton has resumed the
Bible period of hidden Bible char-
acters, preceeding the morning
sermon, much to the pleasure of
the youth of the congregation and
adults as well.
Mid-Week Service
A period of prayer and study
of Methodism in America was

Ilcre's n question we'd like you to ask,
next time you drive in for pas: "What
do yon think of Oldsmobile'i 'RockcC
Engine?" Chances are, the attendant
will tell you that the "Rocket"
tops its field in smoothness, quietness,
and quick-acting power. He'll
probably explain that the "Rocket's"
high-compression design gives it
that thrilling response. We're sure
he'll tell you that the "Rocket"
uses gasoline available everywhere
today—-and makes every gallon go a
long way! Your gas station man knows
his engines, and he knows motor
car values, too. That's why we think
he'll tell you: "Yes, sir, mister—
Oldsmobilc's a smart deal!"
