ORCHIDS TO THE GRAHAM STEERS
The Graham Steers have demonstrated that they have
what it takes to make o successful football team. Going
against Denton, with o highly rated heavy teom which av-
eraged better than thirty pounds more than the Steers and
holding the score to a tie, which most of the fans from Graham
who saw the details of the play and know the rules of the
gome, say was incorrect, as Graham should have hod two
more points than Denton.
Again last week the Steers held the Pampa team to o
score of seven points, which was good evidence that the
Steers are clicking this Season. Mineral Wells will play the
Steers in Graham ot Steer Stadium Friday and everyone is
looking forward to a victory tor the Steers Good luck, fellows,
you have what it take to win! _

ernor, ex-senator, and ex-flour salesman Lee O Daniels let

band . t . yes,“ it leaves the matter wide open for your im-
agination to conjure tfie political situation in Texas re-
garding the governor's rote Sounds like pre-war politico

Sermonettes
THE GREAT SUPPER •
By Rev. C. F. Carrie*.
Pastor of the Pint Christian
Church.
“And when one of them that sat
at meat with him.” Luke 14:16ff
The gueata at the table of the
chief Pharisee.*were mostly ene-
mies of Christ in disguise. There
wag one man who seemed favor-
ably inclined. It was in response
to his remark Jesus told the par-
able of the Great Supper.
Note first that the Kingdom of
God is described as a supper. That
is the figure Christ chooses for it
here, expressive of the rich and
varied blessings of his Kingdom.
Had not he come to satisfy men’s
cravings? Had he not said, “Come
unto me and I will give you rest?”
Was he not often speaking of his
joy? It waa such things that were
symbolised for Christ under. this
figure of the Gospel supper.
Next, note the excuses of the
invited guests and see, first, the
points in which they differ. The
first had bought a piece of land.
It waa pride in what ha pssssaaad aequently
that kept him beck Tha second
wanted to prove his yoke' of oxen.
It waa the caree and worry of hie
work that filled him. And tha third
had married a wife. It waa the ties
and claims of home that hindered
him. The guests all differed in,their
excuses then, as men do still when
they make light of the Invitation
of the Gospel. But at some points
they all agreed, and we note at
least two of these. First, not one
of them was kept awa> by occupa-
tions sinful in themsllves. Second,
the root of the whole matter was
indifference. Had they cared
enough all could have gone.' So
could we today, if we only cared
enough!
1 want you, finally, to observe,
how the circle of the invitation
widens. Where are first of all the
duly invited guests.? They had a
long invitation to the supper, and
when all things were ready they
got another bidding. Then they re-
fused and the Invitation widens;
it extends through the lanes and
streets of the town. But still the
servant is within the walls; he has
received no mandate to go through
the gates. Then comes the last
great widening of the circle, con-
—il-
the servant's word,
“pot there la room.” And swap be-
pond the towers ad the dtp, them
Is given the strange calling of the
feast Bo tt is with tha Gospel of
the Lord Jeeus Christ He came
unto his own, and thep received
him not; so he went to the lost
sheep of the house of Isrlel, to the
lanes and streets of the old city
of God. But the dap was coming
when an ascended Saviour wIm to
Way to hia disciples, “Go pe into
all the world and preach the Gospel
to every creature,” and in that day
it is our joy to livo and to have a
part, if we neglect not the invita-
tion.

WHY THE
i
MISSOURI PACIFIC
RAILROAD STRIKE?
Over twenty years ago, the Congress of the
United States passed the Rahway Labor Act
R was hailed by union leaders as a model
for the settlement of labor dtepates.
'take leaders ot the Brotherhood ot
JL Locomotive Engineers, Brotherhood
of Locomotive Fireman and Engineman,
Order of Railway Conductor*, and tha
Brotherhood of Railroad Trainman on tha
Missouri Pacific, Railroad have refined to
avail themselves of the peaceful mesne
provided by this Act for settling thoir dis-
putes. They insist that they bo tha sole
umpire of their own disputes over the
meaning of con tracts
There it no Need for Strike*
With all of the available methods for the
interpretation of coo tracts, there is no
need for a strike or oven a threat at a
strike, but the leaders of these railroad
unions have ignored the ordinary pro-
cedures established by law and intet upon
imposing their own interpretations of their
oontracta by mesne of a strike.
The wheels havs stopped rotting on the
Missouri Pacific. They may atop rolling
on other railroads at any time. Recently
the Wabaah Railroad waa forced to dis-
continue operation for several days under
President Truman's Board
Condemns Strike
There is an established legal method for
handling disputes involving writ-
ten contract*—just os Mian is saefa a
method of settling any
which you may havs in yoor daily Ufa.
