“Everlasting Punishment” is the
subject of the Lesson-Sermon which
will be read in all Churches of
Christ, Scientist, on Sunday, Octo-
ber 30.
The Golden Text is: “The Lord
is far from the wicked: but he
heareth the prayer of the right-
eous” (Proverbs 15:29).
Among the citations which com-
prise the Lesson-Sermon is the
following from the Bible: “Submit
yourselves therefore to God. Re-
sist the devil, and he will flee from
you” (James 4:7).
The Lesson-Sermon also in-
cludes the following passage from
the Christian Science textbook,
"Science and Health with Key to
the Scriptures” by Mary Baker
Eddy: “The moral law, which has
the right to acquit or condemn,
always demands restitution before
mortals can ‘go up higher’ ” (page

FREIGHT TRAINS AND
POTATO BUGS
Associated Press sent out a re-
lease the other day wiuch record-
ed a report from one or the leading
railroads of our land that not one
but several of their freight trains
had been stopped by potato bugs,
of all things to stop a train. If I
remember the days of my child-
hood in the garden, the potato
bug is a small round individual
with brown specks on his yellow
back and his waistline is less than
one half inch at his shoulders. To
say the least, he is an insignificant
insect about whom the railroads
had seldom worried before. How-
ever, the situation at this par-
ticular time was unusual.
You see, ordinarily (if my infor-
mation is correct) the potato bug
is a lone wolf in the world. He
works by himself, for himself. His
chief interest is filling his own
stomach, and usually he is little
concerned about his brother pota-
to bug. He just destroys what little
bit satisfies him, and lets it go at
that On the particular occasion
mentioned, they had decided to pool
their interests, and literally mil-
lions of potato bugs had joined to-
gether to destroy the vegetation
parrallel to the rails. Therefore
they had swarmed the tracks so
that the trains in passing had
crushed their bodies and made the
tracks so slick that they were un-
able to climb a nearby grade. The
potato bug had stopped the freight
train because he had joined a sort
of gory movement to destroy col-
lectively.
The kind of people who have been
threatening the peace of the world
have never before been a formid-
ible enemy to cope with because
their action had been motivated by
greed and greed always works for
itself. However in the last few years
these greedy ones, these lawless
ones, these lovers of chaos have
learned a blithe piece of philosophic
froth which has been wrong since
the day of its inception in the
mind of the idle thinker. Some-
body said that the way to happi-
ness and plenty was to crush the
individual and make him serve
the masses. He also advocated a
limited division of the wealth
among all men, and a policy of
“them that eats, works.” It all
works out on paper, but in reality
it has worked out in a new type of
totalitarianism based upon slave
labor which seeks to set itself up
in perfectly prosperous lands by
creating chaos, starvation, suffer-
ing, and then offering Communism
as the only way out. These orientals
have been small potato bugs for
many centuries, but they are «
very formidible force for destruc-
tion now that they have learned
to organize. The United States
Express may find itself unable to
make the grade if it does not wipe
the tracks clean of greedy little
nuisances who are continually crop-
ping up in the persons of party
leaders, opera singers, labor lead-
ers and other fields including the
ministry of the Gospel here and
there.
Among the Victorian or rococo
houses none is a better example
than the Mary Key home located
on the corner of South Bolivar and
Crockett Streets, just south of the
square in Marshall. This house ac-
tually was the Governor’s Mansion
when the capital of Missouri was
located there during the Civil War.
This may sound like a “Believe It
or Not” but it is true. Governor
Claiborne F. Jackson and Staff
lived here. The Capitol of Missouri
is just across the street.
Another beautiful example of
this highly decorative type of house
is the old Abe Mulkey Mansion lo-
cated diagonally across the street
from the courthouse at Corsicana
Abe Mulkey was a famous Texas
Miscellaneous Shower
From the Forest Park Review of
Forest Park, 111., we get the fol-
lowing item of interest to the many
friends of the honoree, a former
Palacios girl. Activities of the
Women of Moose Proviso Chapter
included this report:
“The chapter rsom was the
scene of a gay stork shower re-
cently. The guest of honor was
Mrs. Velma Pafume. She was pre-
sented with a beautifully decorated
umbrella which upon opening show-
ered her with dollar bills. A deli-
cious lunch prepared by the offi-
cial hostesses Mesdames Brandt,
Pulaski and Oberton was served at
a table artfully decorated in white
pink and blue.”
Mrs. Pafume is remembered in
Palacios as Miss Velma Barrett,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry
M. Barrett.
The Fellowship Class (.Young
Adults) that has been meeting in
the home of Mr. and Mis. G. G.

308 Morton Street, three doors
west of the Presbyterian Church.

WEST TEXANS ARE NOW
MARRYING IN NEW MEXICO
CLOVIS, N. M.—Cupid has
moved his headquarters across the
state line for many Texans couples
seeking a quick marriage. There
has been a large increase in li-
censes issued to West Texas cou-
ples at Clovis, Lovington and Carls-
bad. The new Texas marriage law,
which requires more rigid physi-
cal examinations for candidates,
and causes a few days delay in is-
suing licenses, is responsible for
the rush of applicants across the
state line.
evangelist of another day.
An outstanding example of the
Plantation style home is “Liendo”
at Hempstead. Built in 1853 by
Leonard W. Groce, it was at first
headquarters for a great plantation
in slavery days but later became
famous as the home of Elisabet
Ney, the internationally famous
sculptress, who is buried on the
grounds. She cremated her baby in
the fireplace of the downstairs east
parlor.
Surrounded by huge oaks, some
of which are 800 years old, this
great, two-storied house would be
a show place anywhere. Furnished
in period pieces, this house with
its high ceilings, hand painted cor-
nices and hand-sawed floors is a
perfect example of an early home
on a great plantation.
W. C. Compton and his sister
live at Liendo and guests who de-
sire to see the house are admitted
for a small fee. To reach it drive
three and a half miles south from
Hempstead on U. S. Highway 290
and turn left at the roadside park.
It is about three miles back in the
woods, over a winding road.
These old homes are just a sam-
ple of the wonderful attraction*
Texas has to offer the tourist.

HIS TALKING ABILITY
IS TURNED TO PROFIT
SAN SABA—-A local barber has
turned his “gift of gab” into a
pot of gold. For many years Tem-
ple H. West was doing fine at hair-
cutting and shaving, and his con-
versation was up to parr too. Then
because his barber shop was a
public information center he found
it easy to get buyers and sellers of
property together. He became so
successful as a real estate sales-
man that he didn't have time for
barbering any more, so he put away
his razor and shears. Now he is
a top man in farm and ranch real
estate trading, with clients all over
the southwest.

A PENNY
GOES
A LONG WEIGH!
Put a penny on the scales. It doesn’t weigh much —
about a tenth of an ounce, that’s all. Take it to a
store to spend. You'll find it’s a lightweight in pur-
chasing power, too.
But in your home that little penny carries a lot of
weight - because it buys plenty of real living value
in dependable electric service.
Yes, that busy little penny will do any one of
these things to make your life healthier, happier,
easier:
Run your radio for an entire evening
Vacuum-dean 6 large rugs
Swiih the dirt from your week's wash
Refrigerate your food for 7Vs hours
Yes, indeed, the penny you spend for electricity
carries more weight than any other penny in your
pocket!
