Itinerary For Interesting
West Texas Tours Available
Indications are that more Tex-
ans will tour their home State
this summer than ever before,
and the campaign to get Texans
to "Know Texas” is bearing
early fruit.
In Texas can be found almost
every variety of summer climate
from the seashore to the moun-i
tains and including lakes and a
wide selection of health resorts.
The May issue of West Texas
Today, magazine of West Texas
Chamber of Commerce, in its ef
fort to draw visitors to that sec
tion of the State, has prepared
itineraries for two trips with
sketch • maps and information
about interesting places to be
visited.
No. 1 tour is the ‘‘San Angelo
Around the-Rim,” and includes
the beautiful section around
Junction, to Del Rio, up the Rio
Grande to Terlingua, Presidio,
Marfa, Alpine, Port Stockton
and back to San Angelo includ-
ing the Davis Mountain section.
No. 2 tour is the “Port Worth
Panhandle,” making the circuit
from Port Worth to Amarillo and
back by Lubbock, Lamesa, and
over State Highway' No. h back
to Port Worth.,, It includes sug-
gestions for interesting side
trips to Clovis and Portales, N.
M., Roswell and the Carlsbad
Caverns!
In comparison with some of
the other States, which are an-
nually deriving millons of income
from tourists, Texas has done
little to attract visitors from
other sections of the United
States, albeit few States possess
greater scenic beauty or natural
attractiveness, particularly in
the spring and fall. The region-
al chambers of Commerce in co-
operation with Progressive Tex
ans, Inc., are considering plans
fora systematic and concerted
effort to increase the tournament
travel into the State.

tains Bridge Club
Mrs. Sterling Urges More
Use of Cotton Products
"Why support the Japrnese
and Chinese silkworm and let the
Texas cotton go hungcj?” was’
the pertinent puestion asked re
cently by Mrs Sterling, wife of
the Governor, in stressing the
use of cottob materials for £11
possible purposes. She urged
in an interview in the Austin
Statesman that loyalty to the
Texas farmer and Texas pro
ducts must extend to all other
Texas industries as well, "for we
cannot help one and not help the
other.”
The members of the Dies Mar
tisClub were delightfully enter-
tained Thursday night at the
home df Mrs. Glen Stark. This
beiug Mr. Stark’s birthday, the

Spiritual Truths in Carnal Terms
Dan Cobb returned from Ft
Worth Tuesday/ Miss Ora, who
teaches in the public school of
of that city', returned home with

erly Besancon and Theresa Joe

panied them and will spend

been employed on a ranch be
longing to Pred Snyder and other
| parties near Bledsae. He worked
here for J. B.Sneed west of town.
Mrs. J. B. Shira, who has been
visiting in Mineral Wells, came
in Tuesday to spend a few days
here with her husband, before
returning to home in Odessa.
Mrs. W. R Slaton and daugh
ter, Mrsi H. N- Stone, and grand-
daughter, Patsy Slaton, returned
ho^ie Mqnday afternopn from
Ada, Okla., where they Visited
relatives for the past three weeks.
Miss Elizabeth Slaton, who made
the trip with them stopped off in
Lubbock to spend the remainder
of the week to visit relatives
there.
Rev. Lester W. Fisher and
family left Thursday for Pecos.
Rfev” Fisher recently % closed a
very successful meeting here
with the Church of Christ.
It is the spirit thatquibkeneth;
the flesh profiteth nothing; the
words that I speak unto you,
they are spirit and they are life.
These meaningful words of the
Saviour found in John 6;33, not
only serve to emphasize the
* • •
spiritual nature of our religion
but they lay the basis for a cor
rect interpretation of that which
is typical or ceremonial in scrip
ture; .that is when carnal, tterms
are used in connection with
spiritual results, even these car
nal terms are to be understood
spiritually. “The words that I
speak unto thee they are spirit
and they are life.”
He had just said to the mixed
multitude about him, “Except
ye eat the. flesh of the Son of
Man and drink his’blood ye have
no life in you.” Many who heard
these words understood them
literally, casually, and went away
from him. Certainly a carnal
interpretation of a spiritual truth
will not only lead you away from
that spiritual truth but will like-
wise lead you away from the
Christ who is the author of that
truth. The Lord Jesus was but
saying to the ends of the earth:
“In me and in me only do you
have eternal life.”
Now let us apply that method
of interpretation to the plan of
salvation in the great comtnis
sion: “He that belleveth and is
baptized sball be saved ” Mind
you spiritual results are here be
ing considered, viz., salvation.
Now all will agree T am sure that
it is nob a literal carnal faith
such as one would have about
Washington or Lincoln, but a
spiritual function involving the
whole heart in which the peni
tent believer relies wholly on
Christ for pardon and eternal
life. Acts 16:81.
There are devout ones among
us who will accept the interpre
tion thus far, and will even go
farther by saying that faith it-
self is the gift of God and that is
true. Ebh. 2;8. Now as to the
latter part: “and is baptized.”
Was he speaking “spiritual” or
‘‘carnal?” If carnal, then the
law of procreation is set aside,
and like will not beget like. But
if he was speaking spiritual how
happily it agrees with John 3;5:
“That which is born of the flesh
is flesh, and that which is born
of the spirit is spirit,” so it
might be added that which is
born of water is Water. All this
is submitted without scorn or
ridicule for any who may hold
contrary beliefs!
Subject for Sunday morning
hour: “What Must I Do td Be
Saved?” Come.
