THE
CHURCHES OF CHRIST
SALUTE YOU
Rom. 18:16
WHAT SHALL I DO WITH
JESUS?
m
Nineteen hundred years ago
Jesus Christ, the Son of Qod and
Barabbas a murderer and lnsur-
rectlonlst stood In the presence of
Pilate and the Jewish mob. Mark
15:7. PUate said unti this blood-
thirsty mob, "Whom will ye that X
release unto you? Barabbas or
Jesus which la called the Christ?
For be knew that for envy they
had delivered him.” Matt. 27:17,18.
Thy chief priest and elders per-
suaded the multitude that they
should ask Barabbas. and destroy
So they said, "Barabbas.”
said unto them, "What shall
I do with Jesus which Is called the
Christ? They all say unto him,
-Let him be crucified." Matt. 27:
1ML ,
which Is called the Christ?
Do any of these adverse Influen-
ces stand in opposition to Jesus In
your life? Will you choose the
way of “Barabbas” rather than
Christ the “Lamb of Ood?"
The Christ withstands the theory
of evolution. The eVblutlonlat
teaches that natural law quickened
dead matter Into life, and that var-
ious types of life had their origin
In other pre-existing types. Jesus
say* “In the beginning was the
word, and the word was with Ood,
and the word was Ood. The same
as to the beginning with Ood. All
things were made by him and with-
out him was not anything made
that was made" John 1:1-3. Both
accounts cannot be true. What
will you do with Jesus?
The modernist denies that Jesus
was bom of. a virgin birth. The
account of the Holy Spirit says,
Mr. and Mrs. Marion Phillips of
Tyler were here recently and her
mother, Mrs. Bryan Eoff, return-
ed with them where she spent last
week.
Roy Brower recently underwent
major surgery at the Memorial
Hospital In Lubbock. Mrs. Brower
accompanied him on the trip.
Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Montgomery
and Mrs. Ethel Montgomery of
Marietta. Okla., visited this week
In the home of his brother, J. A.
Montgomery and family.

Human history has never revealed
a more drastic and heart stirring
event than this. Today the true
essence of this picture confronts
everyone of us. Christ is still
standing on trial before us all.
Everyone must make a choice be-
tween him and the world. Shall
we aboose In favor of Christ, or
shall It be Barabbas? The teach-
ers and leaders of today, too often
persuade the multitude to ask for
Barabbas and destroy Jesus. Jesus
said, -If the blind lead the blind,
both shall fall into the ditch."
Everyone should ask themselves:
What shall I do then with Jesus
eef and said unto her ‘The Holy
Spirit shall come upon thee and
the power of the highest shall
overshadow thee: Therefore also
that Holy thing which shall be
born of thee shall'be called the
Son of Ood.” Both cannot be
true. What will you do with Jesus?
The denomlnatlonaltst stand on
one side thanking Ood for so many
churches and ratths. Jesus stands
on the other side saying: There is
ONE BODY which is the CHURCH
(Eph. 4:4; Eph. 1:22,23), and ONE
FAITH which comes from hearing
Ood's word (Eph. 4:5; Rom. 10:17).
Both cannot be true. What will
you do with Jesus?
Here stands the religionist, whose
first love Is to his friends and kln-
mandments of Ood by following
their traditions. Matt. 15:1-0.
Jesus says. “A man's foes shall be
they of his own household. He
that loveth father or mother more
than me Is not worthy of me: And
he that loveth son or daughter
more than me Is lidt worthy of me.'
Matt. 10:30,37. What will you do
with Jesus?
Today yod are passing Judgment
upon the Christ. Later on Christ
Will Judge you In the light of W*
Word. "He that rejecteth me, ahd
reeelveth not my words hath one
that Judgeth him. The word that
I have spoken, the same s!
Judge him In the last day.” John
12:48.
One writer has well expressed the
world’s need, “The blessings this
old world needs is the Way of Ufe
guided by Ood's eternal Truth—the
wonderful principles of Christ's re-
ligion unaltered by man—every
particle which Is necessary to our
well being."
What will you do with Jesus
which Is called the Christ?

Why We Do What We Do
About Scarce Goods
Like all other stores. Hunter’s js

chandise-—but never enough! So we
don’t advertise an article in the
paper unless we think we have
enough.
Our list of rare prizes changes
from month toi month and from day
to day. Tomorrow if you are in
our store you may" find goods we
have been out of when you asked
the pest several times.

■ that they take the trouble to come
in shows they count on us to get
what they need. We accept that as
! our first responsibility.
We would like to assure you we
are doing everything humanly pos-
sible to get our share of the scarce
goods. We are on the alert con-
stantly, making trips to market and
writing letters, trying to find more
of it for you.

it as guardian of the people's rights
and the public wealth. Olin Cul-
berson sees the Commission's duty
In that same light today. The
economic structure of our state Is
founded largely on our great oil
Industry and our natural resources
of future generations as well aa for
the benefit of the present. The oil-
gas and transportation Industries

of Olin Culberson.

first term has been to stop the
waste of gas. I have also worked
to check the heedless and unre-
stricted exportation of our natural

am most proud of my record on
the score," said Culberson.
Culberson’s greatest single achieve-
ment was his steadfast refusal to
agree in 1941 to put Into effect at
once a 5 per cent Increase on rail-
road freight rata* on Intrastate
business ordered by the Interstate
Commerce Commission. All 47
other states did put the lncfeaae
Into effect costing their people
plenty by doing so. A year passed
during which time Culberaon still
argued and delayed the Installation
of the 6 per cent hike In freight
rates In Texas, and then the Inter-
state Commerce Commission sus-
pended their order. The saving to
Texas shippers was approximately
$5,000,000.00 proving that courage
on the part of a public official pays
great dividends when that official
Is devoted to the public welfare and
Is not afraid of political oonsequen-
ces when he fights for the people.
Chairman Culberson, nearing SO

born in Coryell County. As a young
man he worked in the Katy Rail-
road yard at Hillsboro as a switch-
man. He is truly the first railroad
