COLLEGEPORT WOMEN HOLD
CHRISTMAS LUNCHEON AT MOPAC
The Mopac was the scene of a
lovely Christmas luncheon when
the Women of the Church and the
Woman’s Club held their annual get
together in Collegeport.
The tables were arranged ban-
quet style with every one being
seated around one table. The tables
were covered with white table-
cloths down which ran a red center
stripe. A white Christmas tree with
many miniature packages under it
was the beautiful centerpiece. Each
little package contained a number
matching the numbers on Christ-
mas gifts for exchange.
On the front wall of the hall was
a fireplace bedecked with ever-
greens and stockings hung.
The menu for this joyous occa-
sion consisted of turkey and dress-
ing and all the goodies that go with
a Christmas luncheon.
Soft Christmas carols were play-
ed on the hi-fi during the meal.

8TH & MAIN
COMMENTS FROM
by
CONGRESSMAN
CLARK W. THOMPSON
v 9th TEXAS DISTRICT
With the next two weeks or
more, the principal duties of the
new Congress will center around
the organization of committees and
various other details incident to
the starting of the legislative ma-
chinery.
I have already been called on
by what is known as the Ameri-
can Country Life Association, a
group which is interested in rural
development in all of its phases
and which presented us with some
legislation last year that passed
our subcommitee and should have
seen final action, except that it
came too late in the session. Also,
I have been asked by one of the
great farm organizations to pro-
ceed with the Family-Farm Com-
mittee and its activities and par-
ticularly to check up on the claims
made by the Department of Agri-
culture that great progress has
been made in behalf of the family
farmers.
The President’s message men-
tioned the need for new agricul-
tural legislation. Mr. Benson, the
Secretary of Agricu'ture, got al-
most what he asked for last year.
It would seem advisable for him to
try to make the compromise pro-
gram work and then, if it heads
agriculture in the right direction,
we can proceed along those lines.
My own thinking is, of course, in-
fluenced by the overwhelming ma-
jority in favor of quotas in the
referendum last month. I have
never tried to influence any farm-
er’s vote in this very important
referendum. I watch the results
and accept the mandate of the
voters.
I was interested to learn that
Wharton County now favors the
soil-conservation program. Every
county in our District now partici-
pates in what has always seemed
to me to be one of our very best
agricultural activities.
The revolt in Cuba may seem
remote to our peaceful Texas Coast
country. Nevertheless, the outcome
of it is of extreme importance to
us. Cuba is our best customer for
rice. It is an important source of
raw sugar. IWe have been watching
with considerable concern to see
what effect the new regime would
have on the Cuban economy. It is a
bit early to predict, but at this
moment it looks as though the
Castro Government would be far
more Democratic and far easier to
deal with than the one under
Batista.
Our Department of Agriculture
is going ahead on the supposition
that in the next few months condi-
tions will be thoroughly stabilized
and we will be able to do business
with Cuba on a sounder basis than
before.
Nazarenes Start
232 New Churches
In Calendar Year
Impressive gains in every area
made the 1958 golden anniversary
year one of the best in denomina-
tional history for the Church of
the Nazarene.
The annual statistical report by
Dr. S. T. Ludwig, general secre-
tary, showed that 232 new churches
were established. These increased
the total number of churches to
4,587. The previous high was 202
new churches established in 1951.
Church membership climbed
about 9,500 persons to 301,700, or
a gain of 3.8 per cent. During the
decade of 1948-58, the denomina-
tion gained 85,000 members, or an
increase of 39 per cent.
Three large anniversary year
goals were exceeded.
A total of 1,126,500 persons was
witnessed to during the first
church-wide week of witnessing,
Oct. 5-12.
Also, for the first time in de-
nominational history, the special
offerings for world missions at
Easter and Thanksgiving each ex-
ceeded $l-million. The Easter of-
fering went to $1,040,000. On Jan.
5, the Thanksgiving offering pass-
ed $1,030,000 with gifts still com-
ing in.
Sunday school enrollment gained
48,000 to total 673,750. The For-
eign Missionary society gained 18,-
500 to a total of 155,778, and the
young people’s society grew 2,800
members to 93,000.
Total giving increased about $1,-
million to a total $40,000,000. Per
capita giving was $133.05, a de-
crease of 72 cents from 1957.

When grief strikes someone
close to you, it is not essy
to put into words the sympe-
thy you feel. But the flowers
you send carry a message
far, far beyond words. Their
beauty is a source ot com-
fort and strength.
