KEENER R. ISBELL, Pastor
OUR LESSON today tells us of
the only time Christ appeared in
triumphal guise before the multi-
tudes of the City of David—Jeru-
salem He fcad spent a day and
evening in the home of Mary.
Martha and Lazarus, his good
friends. In Bethany a quiet place
not far from Jerusalem, where He
could be with those who loved
Him and whom He loved Bethany
was Just over the top of the
Mount of Olives, on the eastern
slope we are told, out of sight of
Jerusalem
Next day they started for Jeru-
salem. and came to Bethphage. a
small village Jesus called two of
His disciples and said to them-
"Go into the village that is over
against you. and straightway ye
shall find an ass tied, and a colt
with her loose them, and bring
them unto me A.nd If any one say
aught unto you ye shall say. The
Lord hath need of them; and
straightway he will send them."
Did as They Were Told
The two disciples did as they
were bid having all faith In Jesus.
They found the ass as He said,
and the colt, brought them to the
Master, and taking off their up-
per garments, they laid them upon
the animals Jesus mounted and
led the way into Jerusalem The
multitudes followed, casting their
garments in His pathway, and
others cutting palm leaves from
the trees anf strewing them also
in His way As the triumphal pro-
cession neared Jerusalem, the peo-
ple cried. "Hosanna to the son
of David, Blessed is He that Com-
eth in the name of the Lord; Ho-
sanna in the highest'" Other mul-
titudes came from the city asking
excitedly. "Who is this?" And the
others cried. "This is the prophet, 1
Jesus, from Nazareth in Galilee."
Jesus rode to the temple, and
when He reached there He found
money changers, changing tha |
Roman coins for old Jewish coina
with which the people would pay
their sacred tax. and sellers of
doves These money changers
changed the money at a profit to
themselves The doves that were
being sold were offerings of the
poor Jesus was angry at this
desecration of the holy place, and
cast them all out, overthrowing
the tables of the money changers
and the seats of those who sold
doves, and saying: "It is written,
My house shall be called a house
of prayer; but ye make it a den
of robbers."
Heals Blind and Lame
"And the blind and lame cam a
to Him in the temple," says Mat-
thew. ard He. forgetting His
wrath and C":d with compassion,
healed them.
The chief priests and the
scribes saw these wonderful
things and heard the children
crying in the temple. "Hosanna te
the son of David," and were very
indignant. "Hearest thou what
these are saying?" they asked
Jesus answered them: "Yea: did
ye never read. Out of the mouth
of babes and sucklings thou hast
perfected praise?"
The chief priests and scribes
were supposed to know the law*
and sayings by heart, to constant-
ly be reading them, so it was 8
rebuke when Jesus asked them tit
they had not read this saying.
It told them that they professed
to know the word of the law, but
not the spirit of it. Then Jestta
left the temple.
These events took place only a
week before Jesus' trial and cruci-
fixion He had reminded His dis-
ciples of what was to come, you
remember, in last week's lesson.
But He could not make them un-
derstand. In the ways related in
this lesson He proclaims His Mes-
siahship: "Behold, thy King com-
eth unto thee."

OPENING
PRESCRIPTION DEPARTMENT
Charley Ellison
Announces For
Co. Commissioner
W. C. (Charley) Ellison an-
nounces his candidacy for coun-
ey commissioner of Precinct No.
Two.
Mr. Ellison, now 49 years old,
lives on a farm about two miles
east of New Hope. He has had
experience as a road builder
and has carried the mail on
the Star Route and has acted
as substitute carrier for Route
Two in addition to his farm-
ing activities.
Mr. Ellison said he was en-
tering the race with full real-
ization of the responsibilities
of the office and believes he is
qualified to meet every need,
pointing to his knowledge of
county business and road-build-
ing experience.
"If elected," he stated, "I
shall endeavor to discharge the
duties of the commissioner's of-
fice faithfully and efficiently at
all times. As the campaign
grows older I shall do my best
to see personally every voter."

League May Ban
Cage Tournaments
The Texas Interscholastic
League may abolish invitation
basketball tournaments next
year, a news report from Aus-
tin says.
Due to the fact that nearly
every small town in the state
holds an invitation meet at
some time during the cage
season, League officials feel
the strain is too great on high
school athletes. Few tourna-
' ments last more than two days
| and many are played in a sin-
gle day, putting the players
under heavy strain. If one
tournament takes something
out of a boy, it was pointed
out, what does three or four
do?
The ban on such meets, if
adopted, would mean the end
of Mineola's annual East Tex-
as Innvitation tourney which
promises to be bigger than
ever next year. An alternative
to a complete ban would be a
rule limiting the number of
tournaments teams might en-
ter during the season.

74 Farmers
Aided by Farm
Credit Loans
Seventy-four farmers and
tenants in Wood County have
purchased farms with financing
through the agencies under the
supervision of the Farm Credit
Administration since the Farm
A. C. Williams, president of
the Federal Land Bank of
Houston, said today. A pro-
vision of this act and admin-
istrative measures by the Farm
Credit Administration were de-
signed to broaden farm owner-
ship opportunities.
To assist farmers and ten-
ants in purchasing farms, the
Federal Land Bank of Hous-
ton and the land bank com-
missioner extended more than
$59,100 of farm mortgage
loans in Wood County during
the four-year period ending
Sept. 30, 1939.
Although loans are not made
to persons having nothing to
pay down, Mr. Williams said,
farmers and tenant families
with moderate savings are
buying farms and financing up
to 75 per cent of the purchase
price through the Federal Land
Bank and Land Bank Com-
missioner. Under the Farm
Credit Act of 1935, first and
second mortgage commissioner
loans were made available for
purchasing.
In the entire state, more
than 5,550 farm families pur-
chased farms with land bank
and commissioner financing
during the four years ending
Sept. 30, and the aggregate
amount of credit was nearly
$13,000,000. During the same
period, the bank and commis-
sioner refinanced other farm
loans totaling approximately
$26,000,000.
A number of purchase loans
were made to farmers and
tenants who were already liv-
ing on and operating the farms
which they have now purchas-
ed, while others selected new
sites in the county.
The average amount of credit
extended per farm to assist
in farm purchases in Wood
County with land bank and
commissioner financing was
about $799. Some farmers
bought land from private own-
ers, securing financing through
the land bank and commis-
sioner, while others purchased
farms from the land bank on
liberal credit terms.
