THEY ENTERTAINED
AN ’ANGEL’ UNAWARE
KERRVILLE—Local folks were
swamped last week with inquiries
from all over the midwest about
tourist facilities. Curious as to
what had prompted the flood of
mail, they finally learned that a
Chicago newspaper man was re-
sponsible. It seems his doctor had
ordered him to take a rest. He
slipped into Kerrville incognito,
stayed several weeks and went
back home feeling fine. He wrote
an item in his column in the Chi-
cago Tribune telling about the mar-
velous climate and the friendly
folks he had met in Kerrville.

marries and overlooks afterwards.

WHY DO YOU SERVE GOD?
A young minister was talking to
a friend of mine the other day
and he said that he wished he
might believe as certain other
Christians do.' He said that he
would like to believe that he would
never fall from the favor of God
no matter what sin he might com-
mit. He stated that if such were
the case, he would leave the min-
instry and get busy making money.
My friend suggested that he would
do just as well to leave the min-
istry without regard to his belief.
You see, that young man was
in the professional ministry of
the Christian religion because he
felt that it would be dangerous
to be elsewhere. He thinks that
preachers are more likely to get to
Heaven than others. He is seeking
to put God in debt to him by
serving as a minister.
Are you trying to work your
way to Heaven? The Apostle Paul
wrote: “. . . by grace are you
saved through faith; and that not
of yourselves; it is the gift of
God; not of works, lest any man
should boast.” “And if by grace
then it is no more of works;
otherwise grace is no more grace.”
And again: “Not by works of
righteousness which we have done,
but according to his mercy He
saved us by the Washing of regen-
eration and the renewing of the
Holy Spirit." No, you cannot do
enough good in one day to pay off
for that. day’s evil. So how can
you eVfer expect to pay up for
debts of sin you have piled up in
your past life?
My friend was right. If you serve
God because you are afraid, you
are wasting your time. You cannot
put God in debt to you. All that
is necessary to settle all your
past and future debts to God is
to believe these words from God's
Holy Word; “Whosoever calls up-
on the name of the Lord shall be
saved.” “If thou shalt confess with
thy mouth Jesus as Master, and
believe in thine heart that God
hath raised Him from the dead,
thou shalt be saved.”
If this has been your experience,
you will find yourself serving Him
with a joy in your heart. You like
to serve those whom you love,
and service motivated by love is
the only kind that God will ac-
cept. He entrusts eternal security
to those who love Him.

Funeral Services
For Louis C. Capak
Held Here Monday
Funeral services for Louis Cyril
Capak, 67, were hold at St. An-
thony's Catholic Church Monday
morning with Rev. J. R. Till offi-
ciating.
A native of Czechoslovakia Mr.
Capak was born February 21, 1884,
He had been a farmer near Pala-
cios for the past 11 years and was
a member of the K.J.Z.T. Lodge
of Hallettsville. He died Friday
morning, March 7, in the El Campo
hospital.
His wife, Mrs. Mary Capak, died
in Palacios August 11, 1942. They
had nine children, 17 grandchildren,
and one great-grandchild.
Survivors include five daughters,
Mrs. Stazie Svetlik of Port La-
vaca, Mrs. Agnes Morris of Pala-
cios, Mrs. Lillie Bryant of Victoria,
Mrs. Edith Koch of Francitas, and
Mrs. Mary Schomburg of Gana.do;
four sons, Frank of El Campo
Otto of Palacios, Louis Jr. of
Francitas, and Joe of Palacios: one
sister, Mrs. Agnes Gerlick of Hal-
lettsville, and one brother, Frank
Capak of Bonham.
Interment was at Blessing and
Taylor Brothers Funeral Home was
in charge of arrangements.
CHRISTIAN SCIENCE SERVICE
Christian Science Services are
held every Sunday morning at the
VFW Hall.
Sunday School ..........10:00 u.m
Church Service...............11:00 a.m.
That true substance is inde-
structible because it is infinite
Spirit, God, is a leading thought
in the Lesson-Sermon entitled
“Substance” to be read in Chris-
tian Science churches on Sunday.
“The foundation of God standeth
sure, having this seal, The Lord
knoweth them that are his,” is
the Golden Text from II Timothy
(2:19).
The strength of trust in real
substance is illustrated in these
Bible verses (Psalms 125:1,2);
“They that trust in the Lord shall
be as mount Zion, which cannot
be removed, but abideth for ever.
As the mountains are round about
Jerusalem, so the Lord is round
about his people from henceforth
even for ever.” Mary Baker Eddy
has given this definition of Zion
on page 259 of her textbook
“Science and Health with Key to
the Scriptures”: “Spiritual founda-
tion and superstructure; inspira-
tion; spiritual strength.” And she
also says this, “The supremacy
of Spirit was the foundation on
which Jesus built” (p. 138).
Goodwill is as fragile as an or-
chid, but as beautiful; as precious
as a gold nugget, but as hard to
find; as powerful as a giant tur-
bine, but as difficult to build; as
wonderful as youth, and as hard
to keep.
He came to be known as “the
wisest American,” yet at gradua-
tion from Harvard he ranked exact-
ly half way in his class, and was
chosen class poet only after seven
others had declined the honor. Not
one of his professors prophecied
greatness for him.
Ralph Waldo Emerson was born
in 1803 and lived until 1882. The
blood of seven generations of cler-
gymen flowed in his veins. His
schooling began early. Just before
he became three, his father re-
corded the fact: “Ralph does not
read very well yet.” At eight,
however, he could read parts of
Homer and Virgil in original Greek
and Latin, and could repeat from
memory considerable passages of
Shakespeare and Milton. He was
graduated from Harvard at eight-
een. He taught for three years
before entering Cambridge Divin-
ity School. Lung affliction com-
pelled him to go South, lie was
also troubled with his eyes. He
managed to finish his seminary
course, and for a while served as
a minister. His beautiful young
wife died of tuberculosis. He re-
signed from the church because of
unorthodox views, and at the age
of twenty-nine abruptly changed
his life.
A trip to Europe brought him
in contact with Carlyle and opened
for him a new world of thought
and purpose. He returned to the
United States, married again, and
settled down in Concord to the
life of writing and lecturing. For
forty years when at home he rare-
ly deviated from the routine of
spending soy^n hours in study and
writing, from six in the morning
until one o’clock. His evenings
were devoted to conversation with
an ever-widening circle of friends.
Through h i s articles, essays,
poems, books, lectures, and con-
versations, Emerson became the
most invigorating individual in
all the land. His influence has
widened through the years, and his
works have been translated into
all the languages of Europe, and
published widely in the Orient.
