Dear Overseer:
"Wherefore seeing we also
are comprised about with no
great a cloud of witnesses, let
us lay aside every weight and
the sin which doth so easily
beset us, and let us run with
patience the race that is set
before us.''-Hebrews 21:1.
l have often thought of this
verse as referring to those who
are in heaven watching the
race that we here are running,
but that is not all, for we in
our daily contacts here with
those about us, are witnessing
to them by our actions, deeds
and words.

HOUSING FOR TEACHERS

Last week there appeared in
these columns an appeal for
housing for the new teachers
to be added to the staffs of the

need in this connection and
the readers of the Theocrat
are urged to cooperate as fully
as possible that our teachers
will be properly housed for
the coming school year. Those
who have furnished rooms or
apartments available get in
touch with Mr.. Pearce at the
High School or with Mr.. New
enham at his office at Lake
