TEXICO NEWS NOTES
The attendance and interest at the
tabernacle meeting in Albuquerque is
increasing daily and a number of people
are deeply interested in the special
message delivered every evening by
Elder Walker. Let us not forget this
effort when we talk to the Lord about
His work in the earth.
Every indication is that we shall
have an unusually large attendance at
camp meeting and judging from the
correspondence received in the office,
the Lord is moving upon the hearts of
His people impelling them to make a
desperate effort to attend this annual
feast. Let us all come praying that
God will pour out His spirit upon His
people during this session in Albuquer-
que.
Plans have been completed, and
Elder Taylor, the camp superintendent,
will be glad to hear from any who are
attending the Texico camp meeting
August 9.19 relative to their needs,
whether it be a room, tourist cottage
or a tent. Be sure to let him know in
plenty of time.
Elder Taylor says that it looks as
though there will be some new Sev-
enth-day Adventists at Mesquite at the
close of their meetings which have been
in progress for the past few weeks.
Let us pray that the desire of his heart
may berealized by seeing a goodly num-
ber take their stand for the message.
Brother James T. Ferguson writes
from Wink, Texas that there are sev-
eral people keeping the Sabbath at
that place, some of whom are plan-
ning to attend camp meeting. Let us
not forget the interest in this rapidly
growing oil town.
A Letter from one of the sisters in
Wellington, Texas where Elder Walker
held meetings the latter part of the
winter and the early spring, states
that several are planning to attend
the camp meeting and some of them
new Sabbath keepers. Already these
new ones are proving faithful to the
Lord by sending in their tithe and
offerings to help support the cause
they have so recently espoused.
Wehavereceived communication from
Southwestern Union Record
several of our brethren from over the
conference expressing their ‘intentions
to attend the camp meeting. How
about you, are you planning to attend?
Remember the dates are August 9th
to 19th.
Brother E. A. Meador reports orders
for $203.00 worth of books the past
week in forty-eight hours. Brother
Kinder is visiting with some of the
colporteurs over in the east part of the
conference and sends in some encourag-
ing reports from the workers there.
Brother LaGrone is getting some of
his members at Amarillo interested in
the sale of small books, and we are
hopeful that we can secure some good
colporteurs from his church this fall.

COME TO CAMP MEETING AND
FIND OUT
-
Brother, sister, do you know the
difference between an alkaline diet and
an acid-forming one? Do you know
which promotes health, and which
causes disease? Do you know the rela-
tion between acid food and acid disposit-
ions? If not, then come to camp
meeting, attend the health studies, and
find out.
Do you know what to do when your
child develops a case of tantrum’s insu-
bordination, irreverence, untruthful-
ness, dawdling, forgetting, puppy-love
ete? Do you know how to teach him to
enjoy hard work? Can you teach your
child to read from God’s lesson book of
Nature? If not, then come to camp
meeting, attend the parents’ meeting,
and find out.
Do you know how a Christian woman
ought to dress? Do you know just where
to draw the line between vanity and
slovenliness? Do you know how to dis-
tinguish between the legitimate ‘‘pecu-
liarity’’ of the genuiue Christian, and
the ‘‘gazing-stock’ oddness of the
freak? If not, then cometo camp meet-
ing, attend the studies on Christian
dress, and find out.
Do you have any other related
questions in your mind, to which you
are sincerely anxious to find God’s an-
swer? Then come to camp meeting,
write your question on a slip of paper,
drop it in the Question Box, and find
out. E. T. WILSON

OUR BOOKS SELL THEMSELVES
Here is an extract from the letter of
a sick colporteur who was not able to
canvass one week, but look what he did.
‘Last week I did not feel like going
out, but I could not stay at home so
just took Bible Readings and ‘‘Helps’’
and would hand them to people, and of
course, they wouid sell themselves. So
I did not have to talk very much but
accomplished the work without using
much energy.
Signed C. D. Colburn.”
And how much do you suppose he
sold in that way that week? $90.25 and
$23.00 delivered. Show me the man
who cannot sell Seventh-day Adventist
books because he cannot talk, that is,
if he has the prime requisite, —conse-
cration. W. L. KINDER.

FINANCIAL FREEDOM
The Declaration of Independence
was the bravest document ever writ--
ten. A few straggling colonies were
putting their feeble strength against
the mighty mistress of the seas. Well
did they know the long bitter struggle
that lay ahead of them. But their
goal was freedom—one of the most
precious heritages of mankind—and
they staked their all to gain it.
The goal of every right-thinking
far-sighted man or woman should be
" financial freedom—independence from
financial troubles-and worries of every
kind. Make the declaration to your-
self today that you will practice thrift
whenever opportunity permits, and
thus assure yourself of that freedom
which makes for an undivided, un-
- trammeled service for God.
Our forefathers had to practice
thrift in many ways before they were
able to attain personal liberty for us.
And so are there many ways in which
a colporteur may practice thrift and
thereby gain the goal they seek—a
greater power through financial lib-
erty. Our colporteurs in days gone
by used to practice extreme frugal-
ity. Many are the inspiring stories
of their living on milk and stale bread
—and winning souls.
Satan has placed many pitfalls in
