"I guess not . . .well, if you're all going trailing out there like crazy, I might as well go along.

"Why not? He works with oU." "Because he'd want to ruA everything And Grace would move in and take charge and think we ought to let Oliver run It. He doeen't know much about production anyway, he just ped- dles leasee." "Of course," Gary said, aa they turned back to the house, "the sensible thing to do is to sell a lease, that is, if there should be oil down there. If you sell out to a production concern, they'll put down a test well and then close the area and hold It for future production." * * -^ But Haxyey disagreed violently with the Idea. "If there's oil down there, the thing is to get it out. And It's my land, and if there's oil' under it, I want it. I don't want some bunch of capitalists to get rich from what belongs to me." "Of course," Gary said "it there is oil down thereâ€" and It It won't cost you too much to go down after It â€" and if the Govern- ment will let you produce It after you find it There are a lot of tricky angles to this oil business." "There are a lot of angles to the cattle business, too, but I get along. Come on back to the house. I'm going to call up somebody a- bout this business. You kids help Mother along â€" I'm going on a- head." .\delalde said, very blandly, be- fore he swung away, "You know. Dad, Gary's leaving tomorrow . . . going to Mexico." * • • "There,'' ©aid Adelaide com- placently, hanging on to Garry's arm. "You see? What did I tell you?" "Oh, but â€" look here, Mr. Mason, I can't do that. I've got a job. I've got to get to work. I owe you too much already." "You've got a job right here till I get the dope on this oil busi- ness. You found this oil didn't you? You stiak around till we know what's what.' And Gary Tallman, because he was In love and weiik with the knowledge that going away would tear his heart In two, agreed tenta- . tively. Back In the house, Harvey be- gan thumbing through the tele- phone book frantically. Mona Lee sat, a little collapsed. In a deep chair. Gary sat in a corner, look- ing white and spent. Harvey was shouting into the telephone now. * * * It was midnight when he hung lip at lost, hot aiul triumphant. "Well, I got me some fellows who know their business," he an- uounced. "Had to chase 'e^m all over Texas and part of Lrouisiana, but I got 'em. And they'll be out here Friday." "Friday's unlucky,'' protested Mona Lee faintly. "Not for us. Not if we get those men on the Job. Why don't you folks go to bed?" "What's the use â€" with you yell- ing enough to wake the dead? Gary, you go along. You're not strong yet and you've had a long day." "How can 1 sleep." exclaimed Adelaide, "when I'm bursting with excitement? And its three days till Friday." "Roll over and shut your eyes â€" that's what I'm going to do," an- nounced Harvey, lumbering up. â- â€¢'romoi row 1 want you 'liii'. ^ to drive up to Dallas and get me a good map."

I think all of us welcome spring and summer and we glory in the grandeur of the autumn season, but winter . . . well, that's something else again. Of course it depends upon one's age . . . the very young think in terms of sleigh rides and snowball fights; teen-agers of hockey, dances and skating parties, while to staid middle-agers it means problems concerning storm windows and coal bins. Storm windows ... I don't want to see Dr touch any for months â€" although I don't mind looking through them. You see, way back in the summer of '44 we ordered five new storm windows. They were de- livered on a cold rough day last December â€" unpainted, of course. Wf n.-;.-er got them on at all. They were just left in the storeroom. Round about September I began to think they really should be painted if tliey were to go on the house this fall. Thinking was as far as I got â€" that is until the end of October. Then ray conscience wouldn't let me rest any longer â€" those windows would have to be done. * • ♦ Have you tried painting new storm sash? Do you know what a slow job it can be? If you have, then, unless you are a magician, you know you can paint only one side at a time â€" and with two coats of paint that means wrestling with the job four different times â€" or more, if you are interrupted. Your eyes tire, your feet ache and you continually find yourself painting the glass as well as the woodwork. On one of these occasions son Bob volunteered to help. I accepted gladly â€" until I found it took me longer to clean off the smears on the glass than it did to paint! May- be painters, like poets, are born and not made. As to that I don't think I was born a painter either. Came the day when the windows were finished, also the arrival of a carpenter to fit them â€" and there was I getting dinner and running around ahead of the carpenter to clean windows before the storm sash was put on. Why didn't 1 clean them before? Because I don't like doing the same job over again. Clean windows ahead ot time and as sure as anything it rains in the night leaving them woefully strea- ky. There was no use looking to the men for helpthey were bus.v enough drawing in red clover seed. • * • Eventually the windows were on â€" old as well as new â€" and that same night the wind whined and howled, and rattled the shutters from one end of the house to the other. I lay in bed listening to it, feeling more thankful every min- ARMY SUIT ^ â- #' .^|;| ^m ^1 Gloria Collaton v/eavs a revamp- ed CWAC summer uniform, for which she spent only $2 for braid and buttons to change it into a smart civilian suit. .The insignia and epaulets were removed, black braid applied down the button-line and the right sleeve, and civiUan buttons added.

Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to the whole creation â€" Mark 16:15. Growth of the Church Acts 11:12.â€" The phrase "the hand of the Lord was upon them" is an e.\pression occasionally found in the Old Testament to indicate a direct interposition of God in the affairs of men, either for blessing or for hindrance. 22-24. â€" Barnabas had one theme with which he e.xhorted the mem- bers of the church at Antioch, that they should cleave unto the Lord. His ministry was apparently not that of teaching, but of exhort- ation. Both are needed. Teaching must come first; exhortation is an inspired encouragement to practice what we know. And the church continued to grow by the adddition of new converts. 25. â€" Saul was needed at this juncture to cope with the rapi 1 growth of the work at Antioch. It was here that the disciples were first called Christians. The follow- ers of Jesus were called Nazarenes and Galileans by their Jewish fel- low countrj'men, but this new name was intended to mark the difference between Jews and Gen- tiles on the one hand and those who, whether Jews or Gentiles, were followers of Christ. Strengthening of the Church 27-30. â€" Many prophets appear in the Kew Testament records. Some of them, as .\gal»us, foretold the future, and some, no doubt, were possessed of the gift of tongues. Acts 12:24-25. â€" John whose sur- name was Mark was the son of Mary who was sister to Barnabas and we learn in Col. 4:10 Mark did become valuable to Paul who said "he is profitable to me tor the min- istry." The Dual Commission Acts 13: 1-4. â€" To worldly eyes the sending forth of these men would seem of no significance. none would take any notice of them. Had it been a Roman army going forth, with banners flying, to serve the Emperor, what excite- ment there would be, what cheer- ing I But these two insignificant Jews, accompanied by John Mark their attendant (Acts 13:5), passed on unnoticed, their only weapons were the Word of God and prayer. These men however, were to do a work which would long Ol'"'"- LIVE the Roman Empire. TAQIE TALKS..
