OUR REDEEMER
LUTHERAN CHURCH
Fourth and Rorem
Rev. L. Winfield Wickham, Pastor
In Sunday School a child was
asked to recite the 23rd Psalm.
She began all right: “The Lord is
my Shepherd,” then stopped and
thought for a moment. She bright-
ened and said: “That’s all I want.”
What a fine way to express our
faith in our merciful God when
trials and problems arise. “The
Lord is my Shepherd. That’s all I
want”!
We are human and therefore are
weak and daily sin much. We daily
need to go to God whom we know
is a God of deliverance from sin.
It would crush us if we could not
say: “The Lord is my Shepherd.
That’s all I want.”
God doesn’t deliver only from
the sins of weakness, those sins
about which we know so little,
but He delivers from ALL sins.
How great our transgressions of-
ten seem! We’ve badly hurt some-
one. We’ve committed an awful
sin of which we are ashamed. We
couldn’t bear anyone knowing of
it. “The Lord is MY Shepherd.
That’s all I want”!
Because He is our Shepherd and
that’s all I want, temptation need
not overcome us. The Shepherd s
Word, the Bible, is a “lamp unto
my feet and light unto my path".
“That’s all I want” or need, for
it directs in the way pleasing unto
God.
Those who are on a bed of illness,
those who find advancing years
wearisome, those who have suffer-
ed severe loss, all may take comfort
in the truth of the words: “The
Lord is My Shepherd”, and then
may with confidence say “That’s
all I want.”
Next Sunday at 104:5 a.m. at
Our Redeemer Lutheran the Pastor
will preach such a message of
strengthening. The public is cord-
ially invited.
The Ladies’ Guild will meet this
Thursday at 7:30 p.m. Mrs. Bertha

WOODY WILSON, Owner
IN TEXAS., a new governor, Francis Richard Lubbock,
guided a bankrupt state through that bitter Civil War year.
Cotton, exported through Mexico, brought desperately
needed foreign gold. Homefront industries
were established. Comforts were few, but
morale stayed high .. and there was good
Texas beer, enjoyed then as now.
For then, as now, beer was the traditional bev-
erage of moderation — light, sparkling refresh-
ment that adds a touch of Southwestern
hospitality to any occasion. Texans have
always enjoyed the good fellowship that goes
with every glass.
TODAY, in its centennial year, the United States
Brewers Association still works constantly to
assure maintenance of high standards of quality
and propriety wherever beer and ale are served.
