METHODIST CHURCH
Sunday School—One teacher ab-
sent. Increase iD attendance over
previous Sunday. Six new mem-
bers. Offering short. Fine study
theme—Faithfulness in Steward-
ship. Service was opened' with a
missionary program given by Mrs.
S. E. Ellington.
Eleven o'clock service—Rev.
Rider read for a Scripture Lesson
part of 16th chapter 1st Cor. Text:
Quit Ye Like Men be Strong.
Theme—Being Strong in the Lord.
We need, strong men. There
are many reasons why we should
be strong. We fail and must over-
come many obstacles. There are
many types of strength. We need
to be] physically and mentally
strong. We admire these'.types of
strength in people. To be physi-
cally and mentally strong takes
preparation. The Apostal Paul
was deeply interested in his hearers
attaining spiritual strength. He
knew the value and need of it. cio
he said to us, we aught to quit our-
selves like men, be strong in faith.
We should be prepared to over-
come all difficulties. To do this we
mustjbe strong in the Lord. We
must never forget the source of our
strength. We[must not lose sight
of God. Our spiritual enemies ar e
strong. We need strength to over-
come them. We are servants of
God,;His co-workers in the exten-
sion of the Kingdom. Victories
are won and lost because of
strength and lack of it. If we are
to win we must be strong. It is
not a one day,31 but an everyday
task. Gods^Kingdom Extension
has its enemies. It is easy to sur-
render but hard to win. The ene-
my never sleeps. We want to do
something for God and humanity,
Paul said I can do all things in the
strength of the Lord. Today we
face old and new problems. Chris-
tianity meets evefy need. We rep-
resent" God, let us quit ourselves
like men.
Evening Service—Scripture les-
Bon 2nd chapter [of John. Text:
Whatever He sayeth unto you do.
Theme: Obeying Christ. This is a
familiar and often discussed pas-
sage as Gods word, but it is well
for us to refresh our minds on its
great teachings, so we may want to
obey God. This was the first mir-
acle ever performed by Christ. A
need arose it had to be met. Jesus
was called on to meet the need. He
used the water and the servants.
Jesus always needs our help in
whatever he does. This miracle
strengthened the faith of His disci-
ples, as we study it together it
should strengthen our faith. Jesus
did not reveal the power that turn-
ed water.into wine. No one ask-
ed him to do so, they simply ac-
cepted the result. This we should
do in all^Gods teachings, we may
not understand how but we can see
the results. We need not stumble
over the how. but let our faith
bridge the chasm between seeing
and knowing. jl.In.this parable the
result was accepted without argu-
ment. The thing they needed was
supplied, they used jt. We can't
know justjhow still we know Jesus
turns the bad into the good when
let haveJHis way. The thing we
need to dojis^to obey God and ex-
perience the results of obeying. He
made the blind.fsee,[the lame walk,
the deadjlive again, cast out de-
mons and distroyed diseases, why
should we question his power to
save. Jesus'used what they had.
This should be a great lesson to us.
baptist church
Even though we had an increase
of some fifty in Sunday School
over the previous Sunday, yet our
general percentage was only ten
points better. The Cradle Holland
Junior departments led in that or- j
der. We had nine visitors and the
offering was quite a good deal bet-
ter than a week ago.
We had a very special treat at
the 11 o'clock hour. Rev. Maurice
Aguillard of Basile, La., spoke of
his work ani' uis own people in
South La., the French. Brother
Aguillard is both a product and
employee of Home Mission
Board of Southern Baptists. The
key-note of this dear Missionary's
every message to Southern Baptist
"I thank you for your fine mis-
sionary spirit in sending the gospel
as the New Testament teaches it
to me and my people." How grate-
ful he i6, and wbat a servant of the
Lord he is! He spoke some twelve
or more times to several of our
churches during our visitation last
week. He "electrified" ourpeople
where he addressed them. It was
a real pleasure for the pastor and
family to have thie good man,
along with our own District Mis-
sionary, Bro. Roberts, in the par-
sonage for four or five days and
nights last week. All our people
were thrilled to bear "The French-
man."
Rather important things are
ahead—next Friday our women
hold all-day mission study in "Give
Ye Them to Eat!" by Mrs. B. A
Copass, taught by Mrs. LeeSirbert
of Cason. Following that the wo-
men will observe the "Annie Arm-
strong Week of Prayer" for Home
Missions, beginning next Monday
The ladies will serve lunch at the
church on Friday. Every woman
of the church (or community),
whether a member of the W. M. U.
or not, is urged to attend and make
an offering to this very important
cause. Visitors as ever are wel-
come.
Our revival is not far off, April
7-21. IJ would much prefer that
everything else be neglected (if that
were the price for a good revival)
than for us to be slack in our prep-
aration, prayers, etc., for this meet-
ing. Brother Frank Adams, Par-
agould, Ark., will be here to lead
the singing and Brother P. F.
Squyres will do the preaching.
Watch for special announcements
concerning "Mission-Day in Sun-
day School," for March 31. We
plan to put on a very special pro-
gram. We'll be asking a number
of our people to have a part. I am
sure we can depend on you.
Sorry about the illness of sever-
al of our members, including our
Supt. Brother Daughety, Miss Al-
to Strickland (who underwent a
major operation in a Marshall hos-
pital a few days ago,) Mrs. S. E.
George is still not able to be back
in her place. Brother Will Hill
suffered minor, but serious, injuries
lait Sunday afternoon while enroute
to broardcast with his quartette.
Of course, we have others, still,
not able to be with us. Hope to]
see all of them real soon.
Here we go now toward another]
Sunday. Let's hope and trust that
we may have a good day. Let's all
work hard for full classes, unions,
etc. The Pastor.
A BTU Zone meeting will be
held at New Colony Baptis church
Friday night. Miss Ruth Olive
County Zone direetor and invites
all the young people to come,
March 1st at 7:30.

The servants obeyed Jesus. We
too need to obey Jesus. The church
needs to learn to obey, then great
miracles will take place. Obedi-
ence to Christ enriches our lives,
deepens our experiences Greater
thinfes are yet to be done and
through obedience the church will
make progress. Lost souls are de-
pendent on us. Let us obey God.
Flowers for the services of the
day were provided by Mrs. S. E

Church Correspondent
United States Marine
Corps
Headquarters, Recruiting Dis-
trict of Dallas 822 Allen Building,
1700 Commerce Street, Dallas,
Texas.
To the Postmaster:
With the establishment of a new
all-time high monthly Marine
Corps recruiting record for the
state during the month of January
by the district recruiting office in
Dallas recruiting activities have
been vastly curtailed. During that
month, according to Postmaster
Sam L.' Henderson, 144 young
Texans satisfactorily passed the
entrance examinations and were
admitted into the ranks of the
United States Marine Corps. These
young men are representative of
every cross section of Texas; from
the Panhandle to the Rio Grande
Valley and from the Big Bend
Country all the way East to the
timberland region.
Of the 5,000 new men accepted
for enlistment in the Marines with-
in the past five months from al-
over the United States, approxi-
mately 10% of that number were
accepted from Texas.
This unprecedented response of
Texans to flock to the banners of
the U. S. Marine Corps was largely
due to the fact that recruiting ac-
tivities in the corps were function-
ing with unlimited enlistment quo-
tas during those five months.
However, effective February 3rd
the policy of setting a limited
monthly enlistment quota for each
recruiting district will be re-estab-
lished. In so far as partains to
Texas, the enlistment quota for the
current month will be only 11 men-
according to Captain J. D. OjLea-
ry Officer in Charge of Marine
Corps recrniting in this state.
Incident to the curtailment of re-
cruiting, all offices in Texas at
which applications for enlistment
were formerly accepted have been
closed, except the district office in
the Allen Building at Dallas. Ap-
plicationsmay be made by letter or
Health Unit News
With the appoaching of spring
time at hand we should stop to
think about our greatest pest. This
tfteans that mosquito breeding sea-
son is due to commence. We have
been fortunate in having such a
severe winter as we have had as
for as mosquito are concerned. The
cold weather that we experience
eliminated numerous adults mos-
quitoes, so now that we have a
hand start on them, lets keepit .
The work of mosquito control
will depend greatly on us as indivi-
duls. We could eliminate all possi-
ble swampy areas, by filling and
draining, and still have an abun-
dance of mosquitoes. Sometimes it
appears that we like to keep them
as pests, for we are continuously
providing breeding spots for them
about our homes, and also contin
ously blaming our neighbors for the
piosquitos. In the past few years
the canning industry has grown so,
that in order to cook the housewife
has to use numerous amounts of
canned goods. Thus, we see at al-
most every home huge piles of dis-
carded tin cms. Each can presents
a potential mosquito breeding spot.
This ean be remided very easily,
by punching or cutting holes in
both ends of the can before it is
discarded. This destroys the possi-
bility of the can holding water and
inviting the mosquitos to live there
Other possible breeding spots
around the home as follows:
Leakey water cut-off, joints and
leakey water pipes: rain water gut-
ters which sag at spots and hold
water: stopped up gutters; shallow
dug wells which are not tightly
covered; rain water barrels and
cisterns; watering troughs for house
and cattle; old automobile tires
and bodies; septic tank effluent
which is allowed to run on top of
ground; flower vases in the home*
Most of these hazards can be eli-
minated, however we have methods
of preventing breeding in those
that can not. The plumbing sys-
tem should be cheeked and all leaky
joints repaired, for artificial water
containers the use of kerosene or
minnows is sufficient. If the water
is to be used for laundry or wash-
ing purposes; a pair of top water
minnows will keep it clear of larvae'
if not kerosene applied weekly will
do the job. Shallow wells and cis-
terns shouid be covered tightly and
all openings screened 'ivith mesh
wire. Septic tank effluent should
be drained beneath the surface with
drain-tile, and under no circum-
stances allowed to reach the sur-
face.
It only requires from 6 to 8 days
[for a mosquito to hatch and be-
come an adult post, so you see the
potential breeding spots must be
watched carefully.
A well balanced mosquitoe con-
trol program will require the 100%
co-operation of everyone, for if one
person let-up his mosquitos wi'l
make life miserable for the entire
neighborhood
NEXT WEEK: Types of mosqui-]
tos. their diseases and] other me-
thods of control.

Flat Creek H-D Club
The Flat Creek Home Demon-
stration club met Feb. 8, with Mrs.
J. O. Jordan. The house was call-
ed to order by the President, Mrs.
Mona Mae Motley. There were
fourteen members present, two
visitors, and one new member
while waiting for Miss Murray we
finished our yearbooks.
Everyone was expecting to hear
a demonstration on "Furniture
Refinishing" but we failed to have
it, so the hour was spent in laugh-
ing and talking. We have decided
to have a play in the near future
to raise money for the treasury.
We were then served with cookies
coffee and iced punch which was
very good and enjoyed by every
member.
The club adjourned to meet Feb.
22, with Mrs. D. T. Meggs. Every
member come and bring some one
with you, lets make the club worth
while. The club hopes Miss Mur-
ray will be able to meet with us on
our next regular meeting day, as
we really do miss and need her.

Enumeration Of
Scholastics
The enumeration of children of
school age will begin hi Cass Coun-
ty on March 1, and must be com-
pleted by April 1. County Super-
intendent D. H. Boon said census
supplies and forms have not been
received from Austin, but are
expected daily.
Mr. Been urged that all children
who will be six years of age before
September 1, who have not reached
their 18th. birthday by September
1, whether they attended school or
not, be listed with the census takej,
He said that it is important for
every child of school age to be list-
ed for each one enumerated will
mean that Cass County will receive
$25.00 from the state.
Each year, it is found that some
children are omitted from the rolls
and often times it proves an incon-
venience to the student when he or
she desires to transfer to some high
school. Extreme care should be
