"THE GRACIOUS CALL"
rs SERMON SUBJECT

Rev. John E. Abbott preached at the
Westminster Presbyterian church on
The Gracious Call" The discourse was
based upon the incident of the calling
OF Matthew as he sat at the seat OF Gus
tom. The speaker said;
The distinctive purpose of the intro
duction Of the gospel in the world is TO
call men 10 the happiness and service OF
the new life in Christ Jesus.
We inStinctively rejoice in the idea
Of the gospel call. II is not the gospel
argument or the gospel compulsion. but
the gospel call. The graciousness Of
this call Is seen in the one who called.
II was Jesus, the Son Of God. the King
OF Glory. II is amazing eondescension
that He should desire our love. The
Consciousness of the call is seen in the
one. who was called. Matthew was tax
gatherer, a sealawhg. That fact brings
hope 20 the worst sinner. No sin is too
great TO be washed away by the precious
blood.
Inc graciolEness Is seen in that to
which Matthew was called. He was
called to cOmpaniOnship with Christ. To
Be a Christian is TO walk with Christ.
He was called to a great service. It
would be sad for US to miss His service.
He was called to glory. The glory of
heaven would be torture to an unregen-
crate soul. We can only find glory as
we truly answer and follow Him

LETTERS TO
THE HERALD
THE COUNTY ATTORNEY.


Editor Ell Paso Herald:
In your issue Of January "A. ". W.
Bridgers. county attorney, is quoted
as giving his Interpretation of the
duties Of the county attorney in rela-
ton to violations Of law. In your issue
Of January 25. Geo. B. oliver, under
the nom de plume Of "One Who
Knows" makes reply. In your issue
Of January q, Mr.. Bridgers makes re-
joinder.
Mr.. divers statement is correct
Submission last July to the county
attorney Of evidence of violations OF
the election laws and the liquor laws
was followed by no criminal prosecu-
tons In q certain case, it appeared
to me that Mr. Bridgers did even less
than he could have done nOtwith-
standing the limitations which he has
imposed on his activities as a prose-
cutting attorney.
r. W Freeman, Mr.. oliver and my
self personally appeared before the
county attorney with evidence of lille
gal registration and desired to file
complaint. Mr.. Bridgers said he was
ignorant Of the law would have to
look up the law, pleaded a previous
engagement, and requested US to call
again the following day. Before the
hour OF appointment next day we were
summoned to McCHntocks court and
under ex parte proceedings. we were
relieved Of the evidence in our pos
session.
The man who was incriminated by
the testimony of four or five men who
had received their poll tax receiEts
without applying for or paying for
them. Of having violated the election
law, was not permitted to testify. al
though he would have become immune
from prosecution by so doing. Com
plant was then filed against him, but
he has never been brought to trial
Ny impression Of Mr.. .Bridgers was
that he was victim Of his environ
ment. In my opinion, we need for the
position of district attorney, to which
Mr.. Bridgers now aspires, a broader
view greater zeal and a larger ini-
tiative.
Under the limitations imposed by
Mr.. Bridgers. Joseph W Folk. as
prosecuting attorney. could never
have rendered the invaluable service
which he gave to St Louis and Mis-
souri, We need a Folk in FL Paso.
Yours truly,
L. Campbell
