i think "Aplha" in your issue of
Sept. Is makes very strong point
in relation to our Protestant and
Catholic friends and 1 would like to
see much less of your valuable space
given up to these useless discussions,
for if to be Christian one is re-
uuired to accept the teachings of
Jesus Christ, then Protestants and
Catholics are not Christians, because.
they all reject the fundamental doc
trine that he taught, which is "The
fatherhood of God and the brother
hood of man."
This doctrine means that, as God
is our father, we are all his children,
and, therefore, we are all equally en-
titled to the free use of his great gifts
to all mankind, the air, the water, the
sunshine and the land. ~

children of men,"

There will be two seventh and
eighth grade examinations this

Austin, Texas. June 2s.-Tne organi-

now practically assured, according to
state senator H L Darwin, Of Delta,
the matter.
Senator Darwin said that before the

California within the next two weeks.
II is planned to incorporate for about
SIS, 900 and to sell the stock at 81 a
share, TO be purchased by Elks in
Texas The idea is to loan this money
to deserving students OF the university
OF Texas and the A & NJ college. The
amount loaned to each student is to be
S125 for each session
This plan originated with senator
Darwin and George E. Wallace, OF Fl
