~CHRISTIAN RESOURCES"
PRESBYTERIAN SUBJECT

The Rev. Ralph Rogers, Pastor
of the First Presbyterian Church,
White at Washington Sts., will
preach Sunday morning at eleven
O'Clock, using as his subject
Christian Resources.
1.-THE assurance of sufficient re-
sources and support in any untried
adventure lends confidence and
leads to success. The game of
chance is perhaps an outstanding
exception since Lady Luck is a
tickle Pigment of the imagination.
On the one hand we have
the unfortunate families of the
loser without food or raiment and
at the mercy of welfare agencies
for. bare existence.
On the other hand we have the
winner, quite often fugitive from
justice until the Kefauver Commit
tee taps them on the back for
either a little sojourn in a federal
prison or an easier way out is
suicide as indicated in so many
news headings.
AS Americans we are in the
most favored position of any nation
in the world and yet there is evil
dence of plain rottenness at every
level of political. social and, too
often, religious life. We seem to
.condone anything so long as we
think it's legal. We are a nation
when we have discarded the Sab
bath for a holiday. We are greedy
for gain where we count shrewd-
ness as good as integrity and seek
pleasure and luxury instead of hon.
esty and productiveness. We are
more concerned for society and our
little groups than for the church
and we tend to question every
good motive. Lady Luck glories in
the worldly minded and corrupt
soul and They have their re-
ward.
The Christian resources are far
more substantial. In all endeavors
Jesus assured his followers 10 !
am with you always" We know
that we must have physical sus-
tenance, food, clothing, and the ne
cessities of life.
Mrs. Ardelle Price, the organist
will play for the prelude Sunday
morning Revere" by Woodman
and for offertory Andante by Men
delSsohn.
The Sunday School will begin at
$50 O'Clock. Mr.. John Archer is
the Superintendent and he has
promised interesting classes for all
age groups.
The Pioneers meet at GAS Sun

Vote Against
Late Bar Hours

The Session, together with the
Board of Deacons of the First
Presbyterian Church called in spe-
cial session, passed a resolution
favoring the change in the City
Ordinance which would close the
bars at 2 am. instead of pm.
In their letter to the Mayor of

that such an ordinance will con-
tribute materially to the curbing of
drunkenness, crime. and immora.

The Pioneer Spirit Survives
4 r. 4
HIGHWAYS TO THE MOST HIGH
By Stephen J. Constant

BY Stephen J. Constant
Contained within the Judeo- Chris
tan Scriptures are two of the
greatest promises the world has
ever known. Why they are not
continuously shouted from the
housetops by those who have made
religion their profession is rays-
terry that battles many enlightened
students of spiritual life.
The, first of these two great pro-
misses is incorporated within the
91st Psalm. would like to touch
upon it here and consider the other
at a later date. In words impos-
sible to misunderstood it states
quite simply that any human
being who makes God Himself his
home, will obtain certai n
benefits that are beyond all price,
benefits so incredibly wonderful
that few ever really believe that
the promise could or would be kept.
Yet those who have fulfilled the
conditions, met the, stipulations,
| know beyond all shadow of doubt
made good. God is not Knocked.
Neither are we, His children.
Apparently what bother most
people who have given this any
serious thought is the end.
How are we to 60 about
making God Himself our abiding
place, our home? There is but one
way and it has never varied. He
who would make of the Most High
his habitation must turn his life
and his will over to the care
of God. Not in part, not once in
a while, but wholly, fully, totally.
The decision to turn your life
| and your will over to Gods care
| is the greatest you will ever make.
| When you first come to consider
doing such a thing it may appall
YOU for you know without question
| that it means an entirely new way
of life, and you know too. how all
of us resist change.
You may feel great deal like
the boy standing on edge of a pool,
eager but reluctant to plunge into
! its cold depths. Some of the others
are already swimming around,
laughing, shouting, enjoying them
selves to the fullest. Repeatedly he
asks them: SIS it really c0ld?"
Laughing and shouting even louder
they assure him it isn't, really, but
he touches a big toe to water and
quickly withdraws it. He dawdles
and hesitates, filled with indecision,
with doubt. He could continue that
way during the entire hot day, a.
fraid to take the plunge, depriving
himself of all its benefits. Turning
our lives and our will over to the
care Of God is very much like
that. Many Of US never can make
that plunge and for the very same
reasons.
All Highways ultimately lead to
God in the Hig' est. Some as we
know, twist and turn and double
back upon themselves; others lead
into many blind alleys which must
torturously be retraced. The High
way we have considered here is
straight, true, direct. 1t requires
nothing from you but your most
priceless possessions your life and
your will. The greatest gift for the
greatest gift. AS we never tire of
repeating in this series, in the
very Nature Of Things, it could not
possibly be otherwise.
Because thou hast made the
LORD, even the most High,
thy habitation; there shall no
evil befall thee. X
Because he hath set his love
upon me, therefore will !
deliver him: will set him
on high, because he hath
known my name,

The meeting will be the third
of the two squads with Prairie
View owning two victories over
the host eleven. The Texans won
their first contest over Famcee in
the 1896 Orange Blossom classic
by a 60 score and the following
year took a 27-14 verdict in a
game played in Houston.
AT the time of this writing the
PantherS have won two games
with victories over Bishop and
Wiley. A and M opened with a
convincing win over the Texas
College Steers followed by sue
ceSSive victories over Benedict
and Ft. Valley. The Panthers will
be the second of three confer
ence champions the Rattlers will
meet during the season. They
clashed with the STAG titleholder
morris Brown) last week, and
its Prairie View of the Southwest
this week, with A and T of the
CIAA coming to town on No
vember 8.
Prairie View had one of the top
squads in the country last year
and was riding the crest of the
undefeated list until Southern
University scored a 1870 upset
win. The Panthers ended the sea-
son with a record of nine wins
and one defeat while the Rattlers
were fashioning a record of seven
wins, one tie and one defeat.
The sparkplug of the 81 Pan
ther outfit was Ray Dillon, an
All-American fullback, who now
is in the 'pay for play" circuit in
Canada. However, in sophomore
right end Clarence Wright the
Panthers have one of the best end
prospects ever to come out of the
powerful SW league, in fact, he's
so good until a spokesman for the
pro Dallas Texans is reported to
have said Wright could probab-

RAY MAY FIGHT
GAVILAN HERE

Don't be surprised if Sugar Ray
Robinson defends his middle
weight title against Kid Caviar
here in February.
Right now Robinson is getting
set for his nightclub debut Nov
z as master of ceremonies
dancer singer at the French Ca
sino in New York. He reportedly
will get about $4,000 per week
for two-week run. If Ray makes
a hit with the customers he's Ii
able to be around awhile.
Robinson admits he is in the
twilight of his career and says
that if he does fight again, it will
only be one or two more. In his
last fight, June Is against joey
Maxim, he was unable to answer
the bell for the 14th due to heat
exhaustion. He was far out front
on points at the time.
George Gainford, Robinson's
manager, is due back from Paris
late this month and he and Ray
will get together on a final de-
cision. The New York boxing
commission has given Ray until
the end of November to make up
his mind. BY that time Ray says
he will either sign for a fight or
declare the title vacant. He def
nitely won't fight again this year.
