In addition, 280,000 square feet

FAIR BOOSTERS LEAVE FRIDAY
MORNING AT 7:30 O’CLOCK
Go is the word, 7:30 o’clock in the morning, Friday
August 21st is the time. Olton, Plainview, Floydada are the
places, and a goed time, meeting lots of friends is the order
of the day with the Junior Chamber of Commerce hair trip-
pers.
Cars will leave promptly Friday morning at 7:30
o’clock, and you are being counted on to make up a sizable
delegation. Be on the courthouse lawn before this tim$, have
your whoopie ready to percolate, and don t forget to take
along a strong right arm and loose face—it will take lots of
handshakes and smiles to make an impression with our neigh-
bors and you know we just must persuade them that the
South Plains Fair will offer them some wholesome entertain-
ment.
That there are peculiar upportuni-
tes which come both to organiza-
tions and individuals and which must
be seized at once if they are of
value was the contention of Rev.
! Kenneth Pope in his plea to the
membership of the church Thursday
morning at 10 o’clock at the re-
vival services at the First Metho-
dist Church. .
“I believe this is a crisis in this
meeting” said Rev. Pope in discuss-
ing the lesson which he drew from
Isaiah. “There are peculiar op-
portunities which must be seized by
both individuals and organizations
or else, we are accountable to God
for our failure and neglect.” Ev-
ery opportunity carries with it a
commensurate responsibility’ and un-
less we seize hold of God in hours
of crisis such as this we are
to fail and we are going to be held
accountable for our failures. This
is true in the life of individuals who
I nr? attending this meeting. It is
i even more true of this church in
I reference to its responsibilities at
the present.
“Isaiah realized two things when
he was called to lead his country
' in 750 B. C. And these are the
two realizations which the church
needs frucibly impressed upon her
just now. First, he realized the
sacredness of his task. We, in the
church, have dragged down the pur-
poses of God and put in their place
our own selfish ambitions._ The
church needs above everything else
today a conception of the divinity
and sacredness of her calling. Men
put everything else before God
today and left his work for last;
the result is that the church has
'no real idea of the holy task which
faces her. This fact is evidenced by
the absence of practically every
member of the official board and
Sunday school officers from this
service.
“The second thing which came to
Isaiah was the sense of insufficiency
which he had when he actually faced
God and realized thc immensity of
the task which was before him. And
when the church realizes the grand-
uer of her mission she is going to
come before God and in His altar
confess her sins of neglect and ask
forgiveness and then, in her realiza-
tion of her own inadequacy, ask
God for the help which she must
have. We are going to have to be
driven to God. We are depending
too much upon human efforts.”
The service this evening begins
promptly at 7:45. Interest con-
tinues to increase, Rev. C. N. N.
Ferguson declared this morning and
the work will be pressed with re-
doubled vigor in the coming days.
SOME HIGH POLITICIANS IN
“BEER WAR” MUDDLE
By thc United Prea*.
CHICAGO, HI., Sept. 19.—Some
of the high politicians are being
held under surveillance in connec-
tion with the deadly “beer war”
that is raging between the boot-
legging syndicates, which has already
taken a toll of six lives. Powerful
political factions are locked in a
struggle, one seeking to block Mayor
Dever’s investigation of the beer
war and the other seeking prosecu
tions. There is every indication that
there will be a drastic shaking up
of the police force of the city.
