Special Services At
Baptist Church Sunday
I There will be great doings at
the First Baptist Church Sunday.
Mr. R. A. Spring, who is the
treasurer of The Texas Baptist
General Convention will be our
guest speaker for the service at
the morning hour. Mr. Springer is
a great Christian layman who has
been for many years engaged in
full time religious service and who
has done services for the Baptists
of Texas. He is a very fine speaker
and every one who can do so will
want to be present to hear his
message.
In just three more weeks now
we will be beginning our revival
with Dr. John Cobb, the head of
the Bible Department of the Uni-
versity of Corpus Christi, as our
preacher. Those who have heard
Dr. Cobb will want to hear him
again and those who have not
heard him will be delighted to
hear him. He will inform and in-
spire you as he comes to preach.
Beginning Monday night at 7:30
we will study together the Gospel
of St. John for about two hours a
night for three nights. This is a
part of our Sunday School pro-
gram over the Southern Baptist
Convention and our church is hap-
py to cooperate in this effort. You
will come and we will study this
Gospel for these nights hoping and
praying that we may get the great-
•«st good from it.
The Baptists are to be the hosts
to the men of the town for the
church men’s meeting on January
28 at the Encampment Cafeteria.
All the men of the churches and
of no church are invited to come.
Get your tickets from some one in
the different churches of the town,
or if you do not find one see John
Richards at his shop and he will
see that you get one. Good food
and a good program is in store
for those who come.

Planned Softball Field
To Be Located At
Junior High School
The Softball Field which is be-
ing sponsored by the Harmonie
Club will be located on the grounds
of the Junior High School.
It was formerly announced that
the site would be on the Billy Har-
rison land just West of Tex’s Drive
Inn. Mr. Harrison has been most
generous in allowing us the use of
his land, however, it was felt that
the school ground would be more
accessible, particularly for the chil-
dren of the town.
We are most grnteful to Mr.
Ralph Newsom and our school
board for making this ground avail-
able for the use of the Palacios
Softball Teams and fans.
It is the hope and plans of the
club to have the lights working by
the time the spring practice be-
gins, and we are counting big on
the support of everyone in Palacios
in making the field a reality.
Our thanks again to Billy Har-
rison for his kind offer and coop-
eration.—The Harmonie Club.
When you have read the Bible,
you will know it is the word of
God, because you will have found
it the key to your own heart, your
own happiness and your own duty.
