The Panthers came back* after
being defeated by the Pampa
team, with the true fighting spirit
and were able to score touchdown

the Coyotes to a scoreless count.
Although the Coyotes did not
score they played a hard clean
game of .football and they should
be given credit if only for their.

Over Eight Years

With this issue of the Lipscomb

the most progressive cityun this
end of the ; Panhandle. We are
mighty glad: t0-state that we shall
continue bo make our home here
for all time where the best of peo-
ple live. The Lime Light Staff
made their home in the town of
Lipscomb for about seven X?ars
prior to our moving to this city on
June 5th, 1919—yet it seems only
a short time to us since we loaded
up our presses, type, type cases
and other "nick nacks" that go
along with a print shop and
"wandered" over to Follett—
where we have BOOSTED for
the community of Folletc and
the many people of- this our city
and the country. surrounding us.
And as we ponder over the first
few years that have past and
' gone we see a great change in
I the "Follett that ^ was and is
! now" today. For instance many
i new business buildings have been
erected on the Main streets of
! the Busy Town, then the next
| thing that calls our attention at
| this particular time are the many
! fine homes that have been added
| to Follett put up by the good
people within the last few years
and it has come over the "gas
pipe" that many other new
homes will be erected as time
g >es on. Then too, the Busy
Town people are blessed with
electric lights to be sure is anoth-
a.' advantage added to our "won
der" city. Lime. Light will be
sixteen years old—ter this week
will be Vol. 16 No. 1—-and is
still BOOSTING lor Follett, for
the good people that surrounds
'the Busy Town--i'ast but not
least is BOOSTING for every
(good enterprise that comes our
; way. 1 he S alf heartily thanks
every business man and woman
j for their loyal co-operation and
: for all past favors to us during
: the past year--vve make it our
p. I cy to treat everybody alike--

Lutheran Church
"Forgive us our trespasses, as
we forgive those who trespass
against us," thus we pray in the
Fifth Petition of the Lord's
Prayer. Do you realize that by
praying these words you make a
contract with God? You are ask-
ing God thereby to make His
forgiveness to you
conditional^ on your
willingness to forgive others their
wrongs. You are pledging yourself
to.deal with your fellow-manias
you would have God "dear" With
you. Hence, if you are not willing
to forgive your neighbor you lose
all claim to God's forgiveness in
befialf of yourself.
In the Parable of the Wicked
Servant (Mat. 18) the Lord Jesus
very strikingly teaches us this
lesson of forgiving one another.
Come to the Lutheran Church on
Sunday evening, Nov. 20, and
hear a sermon on the above sub-
ject. Our worship begins at 8 o'
clock. You are welcome.—H. W.
Harteriberger.
