"Dead End" Will Be
Weekly Broadcast
Over KIOX Friday
John Payne, outstanding young
movie actor, stars in Dead End, a
drama by Sidney Kingsley, to be
broadcast this Friday evening over
Radio Station KIOX at 7:00 p.m.
Dead End is the story of a man
named Gimpty (John Payne), and
the story of a boy named Tommy,
Gimpty’s friend, who lived an un-
disciplined gang life in Munhat
ten’s East River tenement dis-
trict.
When Tommy got in trouble with
the police after an escaped convict
had coached and encouraged him
to steal, Gimpty tried to help him—
tried to explain that Tommy was
not to blame. In Gimpty’s words,
and these words were his chal-
lenge . . . “it’s you and me, and
all the people who tolerate slums—
who let children grow up in places
not fit for cattle.”
Dead End is the twentieth in a
series of challenging dramas,
Great Scenes from Great Plays,
sponsored weekly by tamilics of
the Protestant Episcopal Church
and the Episcopal Actors’ Guild.

The Young Adult Sub-District
meeting here last week was a very
good session. Mr. Pat Thompson,
Conference Lay Leader of Texas
Conference, brought a timely und
helpful message. The twenty rep-
resentatives of the Negro school
sang some unusually good choruses
and gave well-expressed readings.
These pupils won nearly all of
the “first prizes” at Prairie View
University a while back in the
inter-scholastic meet. Adults were
here from Victoria, Edna and Gan-
ado. The local group handled the
program and the refreshments un-
usually well. Roddin Purswell is
President.
We appreciated the response on
Sunday afternoon to the “open
house” in the new Parsonage.
Stewards’ wives were hostesses in
welcoming each guest upon arriv-
ing. Mrs. R. T. Phillips, President
of the Woman’s Society, and the
members of the Society, are hereby
extended thanks for their part in
the reception. A very creditable
sized congregation heard the Dis-
trict Superintendent in the eve
ing and stayed for the Dedication
of the Parsonage afterwards. At
the Quarterly Conference that fol-
lowed, officials were elected to serve
for the next Conference Year.
The Youth Sub-District will meet
on next Monday evening at El
Campo.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE SERVICE
Christian Science service will be
held at 10 o’clock Sunday morning
at 605 First Street. The public is
cordially invited to attend.
“Soul” is the subject of the
Lesson-Sermon which will be read
in all Churches of Christ, Scientist,
on Sunday, February 13.
The Golden Text is: “The Lord
is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green
pastures: he leadeth me beside the
still waters. He restoreth my soul”
(Psalms 23:1-3).
Among the citations which com-
prise the Lesson-Sermon is the
following from the Bible: “My soul
longeth, yea, even fainteth for the
courts of the Lord: my heart and
my flesh crieth out for the living
God” (Psalms 84:2).
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: “Soul, or Spirit, is God, un-
changeable and eternal; and man
coexists with and reflects Soul,
God, for man is God’s image”
(page 120).
THE MAN THAT LOOKED
IN THE WRONG DIRECTION
How Christian
Science Heals
A minister, long on leave from
his charge because of illness,
procured a copy of
"Science and Health with
Key to the Scriptures"
by Mary Baker Eddy
After reading the first sentence
of the first chapter, he thought,
“ Whoever wrote this had been
very close to God.”
He read on for several hours
with such a sense of unfolding
understanding as he had not
known before, then realized
that he was well. The healing
was complete and permanent.
The complete explanation of
Christian Science and its heal-
ing work is given in "Science
and Health.” Price, $3.50

REV. E. M. WALKER
Text; Gen. 13:10
The story of Lot’s life can he
told in one revealing sentence. He
chose the easy way and lost, the
narrow path.
Plainly from the record he had
everything Abraham had from the
point of material possessions. He
possessed his father’s substance,
Abraham's brother, which equaled
Lbut of his uncle Abraham.
He had the same spiritual op-
portunities as Abraham and stood
or knelt around the altar fires that
his uncle had lighted.
God is no respector of pel sons
But looking into the inner man that
was Lot’s He saw the weak spots,
and those weak spots marred in
the end, the power of the mun Lot
might have been. It was a crisis
that revealed what was in Lot
and gave Abraham his opportunity.
All went well until trouble arose
with the herdsmen.
Many a man falls in the hour of
trouble that previously in the easy
going path had stood head and
shoulders with the tallest sons of
the right.
So with Lot. There was no indi
cation of moral putridness until
difficulty faced hftn. He had trav-
eled from Ur to Canaan and on to
Egypt and back, and stood the
moral tests that faced him. When
the herdsmen, because of Abra-
ham and his twin’s prosperity, be-
gan to quarrel, the men as friends,
met and suggested that the laijd
be divided between them. In this
land division, Abraham, the older,
took the lead. ,
Before Lot, the younger, was all
the country—to the right or to the
left—the valley or the hills. Look-
ing out toward the hills he decided
against the difficult way, and to-
ward the valley he saw the well-
watered plains that were as the
garden of the Lord. Though it
faced Sodom, the city of sin for
whom one of the most revolting
sins of the ages is named, being
first therein practiced, Lot wanted
the easy way and chose it.
There are those that want the
easy going way, where there is no
hardships. Jesus said, in Matthew
7:13, “Enter ye in at the straight
gate: for wide is the gate, and
broad is the way, that leadeth to
destruction, and many there be
which go in thereat.”
Lot did not go to Sodom with
one move. He merely pitched tent
to face the city of sin. That was
enough, for once men face sin,
rather than shun the very appear-
ance of evil, their destiny is de-
cided. Pitching his tent toward the
wicked men’s point of congrega-
tion was his first loss, which was
to grow into his final destruction.
The next time we find Lot, he is
in Sodom, in the very heart of it
with two of his daughters married
to Sodomites. The easy path had
led him to the brink.
Some fathers bring evil upon
their own children. There was still
a little good left in Lot, how
much we are not certain, enough
though, that the angels were in-
terested in him. That divine inter-
est, however, might have been due
to Abraham’s intercession for the
city and his nephew rather than

Brother Lewis at the Church of
Christ gave a talk last Sunday
evening on the life of Daniel and
its influence that I wish every one
in Palacios could have heard. As
he doesn’t write for the papers,
come out and hear him give an-
other talk at 7:30 on the same
subject.

to any goodness that was resident
in Lot’s darkened soul.
Some of you in Palacios, have
walked over mothers prayers, iy*t
God still loves you. J
On the way to Sodom the Angels
had met with Abraham urfler tho
oaks of Mamre and revealed God's
determination to blot the city ont
of existence so it would be no
more upon the ea> th, which by the
way Is what nr cured. Ahraham
pleaded for the city, so instead of
raining fire and brimstone upon it
without previously warning the one
man with a spark ol\goodness left
in him, the angels proceeded on
their journey to the citjv.^ Lot saw
the heavenly messengers afid rec-
ognizing that they were frotm a
land afar he met them, recalling
those happy days when with Abra-
ham he worshipped the Lord abound
a holy altar, scenes which now were
only remembrances.
Some of you that read this, re-
member, when your old mother
would pray that you would turn
to God with all your soul, but like
Lot you have pitched your tent to-
ward the city of sin.
There was some good left in Lot,
for he gave them a meal of pro-
portions, then Sodom’s true char-
acter appeared, for at the door
came the men of that wicked city,
clamoring for these strange men to
be sent out with them that they
might practice their sin of sodomy.
Some of you have been put to
the test for the right and you
stood but that is not enough, you
must have God in your life. Lot
learned, however, that God was
able to protect His own, a lesson
he should have mastered earlier.
It was a resounding charge the
angels gave Lot saying, “Escape
for thy life,” a charge which
sounds to the men of this genera-
tion. As Lot we are commanded to
flee from the cities of sin, lives of
iniquity and rush to the shelter
of the Almighty.
The command was specific that
no one was even to look back to
the land from whence they were
going. They were ordered not to
even remain in the plain, but to
flee to the hills, as we are charged
to climb the hills of righteousness,
as near heaven as possible, as far
from the world as can be.
Lot had lost everything—morals,
family, property and decency—by
one litle characteristic, one little
tendency,' rWflvsiir- ffiT'
places. Will Lot’s loss be your?
