WHAT MUST DO TO BE SAVED

The meetings Of Rev. Mr.. Nooe
in the Christian church continued to
grow in interest and attendance.
The evangelist lis direct, earnest.
and does noe y )ach long sermon.
His power is the concise and di-
rect way in which he treats his sub
ject, and his zeal and enthusiasm is
impaired TO his congregation
Last evening he spoke from the
3Oth verse of the 10th chapter OF
Acts, What shall ] do to be saved
This is the most important ques-
ton with any man or woman. 1t is
the burning question of the hour,
and should be until the soul faces
Christ. The minister said that the
night before he spoke on the subject,
mat can | do to help save some
one" and these two subjects were
linked together. The earnest Chris
tian who is interested in the welfare
and salvation of his brother is try
ing to lead some one to Christ, and
exerting such an influence as to let
his light shine in the service of his
Master
Some people are always thinking
about how to get into heaven. 1t
is not so much getting into heaven
as it is to get heaven into us, he
said. The glory of God will bright
lyn f,r1 RI
the church as we'll as to our fellow
man, and if we seek after him, and
join with Him, we feel the glory. the
lilt, and the swing of His cOmpan-
iOnship here on earth.
The question is what must l do
that guilt and sin shall no longer
have dominion over me. what shall
l do to share in the redemption of
the world? He referred to the rest
of the chapter, how that the disci-
pies of the Lord were thrown into
Jail because they endeavored to save
a young girl from worse than death.
The Jail was shaken by an earth
quake and the jailer afraid, think
ing they had escaped came to them
and they said "be not afraid. We
are still here Then came the
question, what must 1 do to be
saved. The glory of Christianity
can put light and love and happiness
into the sckll of the Christian The
world needs Jesus, and the respon-
sibility of the church is to bring the
world into closer relationship with
the Master.
The cry, What shall I do to be
saved is the soul enquiring as to
it's ultimate destiny, the prodigal
asking for a return to his Fathers
house. The soul always senses its
possibilities. but the desires, follies,
and feeting vanities of life, pull us
back, and retard it's effort.
Therefore a man must work out
his own salvation and bend his effort
to the task. He must live right, and
seek the Saviour For He knocks at
the door. and if you will open it He
will come in and sup with you, and
you will enter into the fullness and
of His grace and His com
pany. Do you desire fellowship with
the Lord? Is he welcome in your
home? Do you really desire to live
and walk with Him?
Only in this way is there true
happiness, life and peace.
The subject tonight is Lessons
Written in Blood.''

INDICTMENTS RETURNED IN
 HOLBROOK STATE BANK CASE

The grand jury found true bills in the case of the fail ure of the Holbrook State Bank and returned indict- ments against JIM. R a y holds and Guy Rogers, pre- sident and -presidentre- spectively of the First Nat ional Bank of Albuquerque; L.M. Reynolds. formerly president of the defunct Hol- brook bank, and R.R. Tur- beville who was formerly cashier of the bank here. Of these only Turbeville has been placed under arrest, the New Mexico bankers re- fUsing to answer to t h e charges unless extradited. We are informed by t h e County Attorney that extra dition papers are being pre- pared and will be forward ed at once.
 If the returning of these indictments does nothing else, it has added to t h e gayety of nations as they follow the charges and count CT charges that appear n the two Albuquerque papers. The average mans love of a good scrap compels h e statement from the man in the street "Go ahead and fight, 1 hate peace.

ONCE A YEAR IS SOME
 TIMES TOO OFTEN

Juan Lise, whose claim to the hall of fame as a knife -thrower few dispute, pro- ceeded to show his prowess in the home Alijo Padilla. Where Juan got it is a sub- ject of some interest to the local bloods, but let it suffice that after getting it, he walked into PadiIla's kitchen and broke up all the cutlery in the place, still unsatisied he threw the broken pieces out the door. Shortly af- ter, the argument gathered strength in the little store across the street, Signor Padilla claiming payment for the broken utensils.
 Knives, shovels, cans of corn, bottles of catsup and finally MT. Lise sailed out through the door. That ended the friendly argument, but Padilla claims that we need a hospital in Holbrook nose than we do a knife thrower.

CHRISTMAS IN HOLBROOK

The childrens day h a s come and gone. And who is there among us that is not a child on this day of commemoration of the birth of the Christ Child. T h e early awakening, the cries of delight, the unrestrained gorging of candy, nuts, ap- pies, oranges, turkey, pie; surely the grown-up enjoy this fully as much as t h e tiny tot, with perhaps a sigh because of inability to gorge.
 Thrice memorable will be this Xmas to our children. The open handedness of the Elks and the cheerful assis- tance of the Woman's Club made possible for two hun- dred and ninety five little ones a second visit fir o m Santa Claus. The tree was erected on the square at the station and therewere gath cred most of the big and lit- tie kids of the town. And what an excitement there was as old Santt drove up. And how each of the small ones cherished the gift that HE had given them.
 In the evening the Meth odist Church was visited by the old man, and again a child went home to think and talk about and dream about that wonderful man in the red suit who was so kind to them,
 Sad for many is the day of disillusionment, but the gives way to another joy, the joy of giving.

WHEN THE PAPER
 DOESN'T COME

My father says the paper he reads ain't put up right. He finds a lot of fault, he does, perusin' it all night. He says there ain't a single thing in it worth while to
 read.
 And that it doesn't print the kind of stuff the people
 need.
 He losses it aside and says it's strictly on the bum =, But you ought to hear him holler when the paper
 does't come. He reads about the Weddin's and he shorts like all get
 out,
 He reads the social dooin's with a most derisive shout. He says they make papers for the women folks alone. He'll read about the part ies, and he'll fuTne and
 fret and groan; He says of information it doesn't have a crumb- But you ought to hear him holler when the paper
 doesn't come. He's always first to grab it and he reads it plumb clean
 through.
 He doesn't miss an item of a want ad that is true. He says, ''They don't know what we want-the durn
 newspaper guys. Pm going to take a day sometime an go an put
 'em wise;
 Sometimes it seems as thou gh they must be deaf and
 blind and dumb But you ought to hear him holler when the paper

DIR. TAYLOR SAYS CALIFORNIA
 INTERESTED IN HOLBROOK

Dr. s. arl-Taylor return
 ed from the Coast yesterday
 morning, after spending the
 Xmas holidays with his wife.
 That there is absolutely no question in the minds of the
 well informed California oil
 men as to the future of this
 field is proven by the inter-
 est that is being taken by Coast operators. At every point Dr. Taylor says, that
 he was deluged with inquires, as to progress being made, whether or not acreage in large blocks is open, if the inflated price of acreage has reached a reasonable figure, showings in the drilling wells and on all other subjects that would in any way have a bearing on the field.
 Particularly interesting is it that these inquiries are be- ing made by men who know the geology of the field. The small speculator often enters into an oil proposition in the hope of making a good thing out of his gamble, but the hard headed oil operator en- ters into the game to make his money earn interest, not with the idea of making his fortune out of the first, and only planned, we'll, but with the intention of getting the crude, keeping his refinery working and his marketing organisation intact.
 Those among US who have waited for years for pro- ductionshave perhaps, fail ed to grasp the ilp9epsity of the proposition in Whieh we are interested. The Vex2- tious delays which have from time to time put of the cpi- imitation of our expecta tons are now proving to be the silver lining to the cloud. Investors, not alone in the United States, but in many foreign countries, have heard about HolbroQk and it's pos abilities. To attempt a fore cast of the amount of money that will pour into this im- mediate area after produc- tion would require a presci- ence more profound than is granted the ordinary nor tai; but just mark this on the tablet of your merlory; the Holbrook field is the largest in the United States, the California field will this year produee approximately $65,- 900, ,000.00 worth of oil, that is to say CRUDE oil. That will be chicken feed for Northern Arizona.

BOXING MATCH
 A GREAT SUCCESS

Last Friday night a good
 card was arranged for the
 fans, and they showed their appreciation by turning out in sufficient numbers to fill the theatre.
 The first prelim was a well matched bout. Kid Sanches Tvs. Scoop Kimura. These
 boys stood toe to toe and swapped punches over the full course of four rounds and the referee (to the satis- faction of the audience) held up two right hands.
 The Vargas vs Jones bout was far from even, even farter than that. Vargas, using a very fast shift, prin- cipally from left to right hand, popped MT. Jones on all exposed portions of the body above the belt, and in the second round the re- fierce decided that enough was too much; awarding the fight to Vargas and giving him a technical knockout.
 There are few in this part of the country that can put anything over Chico in the first two rounds, and Fisher was not among those able to hang crepe on, the Chico homestead, that is until Chico decided that his wind had gone on a holiday. Fish CT deserves a fight with somebody that is geoG and has staying qualities.
 The opening four rounds of the Anaya Snyder bout gave fullvalue for the money expended; the latter half of the bout was chiefly inter- esting as to whether or not Snyder could avoid being knocked out. He did, but that's all. Anaya won by a good margin.
 In the final set-to; Lewis vs Rooney, the fans were undecided as to the best man, but accepted the decision ot the referee awarding the fight to Rooney in good part. Whether or not Lewis could have made a better showing is an open question, but at times he showed an ability, which if consistently follow ed through the fight would have certainly won him the decision. if not a knockout. Able and willing to mix, Lewis took two punches to give one, and then seemed \
 to have something inreserveI in the punch he delivered. It was a good fight, cleanly conducted; but if these boys meet again, we will gladly cover a forty cent bet that Rooney will have 3 complete knowledge of the Milky Way before the fight is over.
 Division special agent F. F. Bartlett's decisions were as usual, eninently fair. Phil Jones, the promoter, is to be congratulated for the, lack of friction and the prompt manner in which the fighters entered the arena.
