The Church and Its Sacraments.
Lesson for February 20: Acts 2: 38-
41; I Corinthians 11: 23-29.
Golden Text: Matthew 28: 19-20.
Protestants hold that there are
two Sacraments, Baptism is the
rite of initiation into the Christian
life, to be administered but once
to an individual. The Lord’s Sup-
per is the rite of continued fellow-
ship and is often repeated.
The scope of our lesson does not
permit a discussion of the differ-
ences of opinion among Christians
concerning the two Sacraments.
Let us find some points of agree-
ment. All believe there is an ob-
ligation to observe them and all
do observe them. All agree that
divine grace is present in the ad-
ministration of the Sacraments, a
grace that is somehow brought to
the soul.
On the day of Pentecost, Peter
called upon all who heard him to
repent and be baptized. So Bap-
tism is connected by all Christians
with reception into church mem-
bership.
All would doubtless agree that
the Lord’s Supper is a commemor-
ation of his atonement and a pow-
erful incentive to holy living. For
Jesus said, “This do in remem-
brance of me.” As the communi-
cant sees and partakes of the elem-
ents that represent the Lord’s
body and blood, and as he looks
beyond these elements to, Jesus
himself, surely great grace should
come to his soul. Let us not par-
take unworthily by making the
Sacrament only a pious form, but
look beyond the bread and the cup
fo the Crucified Lord.

Sherwood
Is Busiest
Of Seniors
BY CAROL ROSELIUS
“How does he do it?”
“Do what?”
“How does he throw a paper,
fold a paper, eat an ice cream
cone, drive his car, and (part of
the time) have one arm around
his girl?”
This conversation is likely1 to
occur when the subject of Greg-
ory Sherwood, 200-pound paper
boy, comes up. Folks just cannot
understand how he accomplishes
so much without any apparent
effort.
Greg is the type who does not
pretend to great industry, but his
daily schedule proves that he is
industrious. During the school
term he gets up at 6 a. m., de-
livers over his route for an hour
and a half, returns home to get
ready for school, goes to school
fo a full session, works out for
basketball, football, or baseball
after school, and then delivers
more papers. He finishes this
schedule about 7:30 p. m. Since
he is training for sports, he is
in bed by 9:30. This leaves little
tme for “running around.” Dur-
in the summer he is up at 4 to
deliver papers before going to
work on a farm at 6.
Gregory is an all-round athlete.
He has played football four years.
He is a two-year letterman and
was on the all-district team his
junior year. Injuries kept him out
of some games his senior year.
He is a three-year letterman in
basketball. He was co-captain his
senior year and was on the all-
district team his junior year. He
also goes out for track, baseball
and softball. He has received three
gold basketballs this year for be-
ing named to all-tournament teams
at Panhandle, McLean and White
Deer. He has scored 378 points
and averaged 17 points a game
this season.
His honors include being nam-
ed Most Athletic in the Senior
Who’s Who, sports editor of The
Lair and F. F. 'A,, reporter. In the
past he has served as historian
and song leader of the F. F. A.
and vice-president of the fresh-
man class. He plans to attend
either 'West Texas State College
or the University of Texas. Al-
ready he has accumulated $100 in
scholarship money from the Ama-
rillo Globe-News.
Greg’s got his first job mowing
lawns when he was eight years old.
In the fifth grade he delivered his
first paper, a Pampa publication.
In the summer after his seventh
grade year he began delivering
the Amarillo paper. For the first
two months he walked the route.
Then he changed to a bicycle for
about two more months. Then
came a speedier vehicle, a bright
yellow motor scooter. He used the
scooter a year before buying his
first car, a ’36 Ford. Since, he
has had a ’46 Ford and a ’47
Plymouth.
This, then, is how Gregory Sher-
wood gets the job done.

CARING MEANS SHARING
“Caring Means Sharing” ig the
theme for the Week of Compas-
sion, Feb^20-28, to be observed by
the First Chrstian Church. This
is an inter-denominational project
to let all Christians know the need
of the world and to provide an
opportunity to share in meeting
that need.
Coin offering boxes have been
distributed through the Bibie
School to be placed on the home
table. By placing something in
these boxes at each meal the
church members are reminding
themselves of the need of others
and at the some time preparing
for a successful offering Feb. 27
in the “One Great Hour of Shar-
ing,” when they will join with
their Christian friends in present-
ing their gifts to help meet the-
world’s need.
The funds thus raised are large-
ly administered through Church
World Service for relief and re-
construction in foreign lands. No

either to the local Christian
Church nor to the agencies of'
Christian Church for their regular
budgets.
