DR. WILLIAMS TALKS
ABOUT MANY THINGS
D'scu&kts Game Wardens. Sunday
Hunting. Church Societies and
Church Progress
So fur as printers ink is concerned,
I have been quiet for some time Have
been to blisy heie mid elsewhere to
to write Hut something tells me l tun
about to break out again We had a
In-lpful and appropriate Thanksgiving
serviie >t our ehtireh on Thursday,
The Rev (' O. Miller preached the ser-
mon and the other ministers shared
tin setwne with him We missed the
familiar fares of Bros < lark and Bach
, lor hut sin h is hie in the ministry. It
was a rood service; It was good to be
there; it was good to listen to the mu*
siv. the prayers and the sermon
Dr Skinner is tendering a splendid
service to the hoys at Tex Mex and to
the young people generally of this com-
munity. in the series of six Sunday
afternoon talk- he is giving at Tex
Mex All who go and here him say so
If you think more of ratehing a fish, or
shooting h duck, on Sunday, than you
do of your own head and heart, dont
go to hear Dr Skinner
Some good citizens are often
thoughtless and sometimes inconsis
tent. For instance We have been cry-
ing out against the crime wave We
were disheartened at the outcome of
the two millionaire hoy murderers In
Chicago We were horrified at the ci-
vil war in Herrin. We wore much
worked up over the possibility of the
election of some candidates for high
offices in the state and nation.
Buf when the game wardens cause
us it little inconvenience, ami put ii
small i rimp in our "Sunday Sport", we
go out to get their official .scalps. That
is fine cooperation in law enforcement, ‘
what ?
Yes. 1 hunt oceasiotmly. too Hut not
on Sunday. 1 fish once in a while, but
not <'ii Sunday. That is (lad's day No,
come to think of it. 1 do some hunting
and fishing on Sunday.
Jesus said <’otm ye after me and
1 will make yon fishers of men." I do
my Sunday hunting and fishing at the
Presbyterian church. I have pretty
good luck. too. When the fish tight
hack 1 know they are hooked; when
the high flying birds drop i know they
are hit: and when the wild animals
look pained I know my aim is true.
If you don’t believe this eome and see.
Von ought to rome anyway Next Sun
day at !»; in we study the Sunday
school lesson and at 11:00 o'clock we
meet for worship
Jusl now I read of a good man and
his wife at Aheline. Texas, who in re
cent years have given a total of $300,-
000 to the various enterprises of their
denomination That's tine. We can’t
all give that much, but we can have
the same consecration and give iu pro
portion. Are you in that class?
(Education week was observed in
our county under the leadership of
Supt. McCracken. He pm over a worth
while program and those who shared
it with him have a right to feel that
they were helping in a good cause.
Speaking of education, have you
noticed the progress out :u the State
Teachers College" The coming of this
school has placed an added obliga-
tion on the churches and religious
forces in Kingsville. We asked the
state to put that school here. We
must see to it that the State never
regrets it.
That means that our churches must
keep pace with forward movements ^
1 now under way. The Methodists are ,
j building, the Baptists are getting j
ready. Last Sunday I presented the :
matter in a concrete way to the l*res ,
hyterittiis. We cannot leave all this j
important work to our brothers and
sisters of other branches of the \
Lord’s hosts. We must do our share
or he forever regretful. We cannot
hide our talent in a napkin or bury it
in the earth A share of the task is
ours No one else can do it for us, We
must do our part or see tl neglected |
Take It into your minds and hearts !
I and give it prayerful thought.
Our church has just put on and put j
over a series of fourteen conferences, j
over the Synod of Texas, on steward
hip All of them were good, some of j
them were better. Among the hitter
was the Conference at Corpus last ■
week Our church is shaking up and ;
wakitu up The future brightens God !
is using us and blessing us. Old things j
are passing away; and some things;
are becoming new. Happy is the j
church and the churchman who has :
, yes to see Take your church paper !
and read it. Attend th<- regular servic-
es including prayer meeting. See that j
your children are in Sunday school !
i by coming with them If you are a j
woman and a Christian there is work
ami the Joy of achievement, in the
Auxiliary There arc' no more skillful
workers in our church than our wom-
en. God bless them I am proud of the
work our local Auxiliary has done in
the four years 1 have known it. Tex.-
M< x and Pros Mex. know them too.
'those working women. Are you one of
them? But I was speaking of the con- i
ft'iences on stewardship Well, we had
a good delegation over there. We pro- j
tiled by tli*■ program and we enjoyed
the supper, served by the Corpus In
dies, in Hie church parlors. We are
going td have a larger delegation at !
the next Conference because it is
going to be here in Kingsville. Wo are j
sc.'ii i; more clearly that we arc* stew-
ards of the Lord’s money, and His
kingdom and His work. Billy Sunday
says; -Washington is a place where'
Ike eld-os don’t eld and the stewards
don't stow " Well we are ‘stewing’
more' than we did That means pro-
gress If any of you are not ‘stewing’
I’ll have to build up the lire.
Mr. 11 N. Seott and I were on the
program at Corpus but they cut me off
to give Mr. Seott more time. That is
once when they did the right thing
at the right time.
T wonder if 1 ever wrote anything
about the district conference of the
Auxiliary It• Id recently at Alice Well
it was a good one, and the lunch serv-
ed by the local ladies at the manse
was up to the high standard of Texas
Presbyterian women. Kingsville had
the largest delegation of good looking
ladies there 1 know for I chaperoned
them five cars of them Rev and
Mrs Black have both been sick but
are getting hack to normal again Yes.
our churches are making progress.
Speaking of stewardship, 1 have
been doing a little stewardship my
*elt' lately During November 1 preach
ed, or spoke on some occasion, in
nearly every town in a radius of forty
miles of Kingsville, including Ricar-
do. Rlivera. Fulfurrias. Alice. Robs
town and Corpus 1 don’t know how
I missed Driscoll and Bishop Perhaps
they did not want me. However 1
have an invitation to Bishop and some
day 1 am going to accept it.
I’ll tell you the rest next Sunday.
