Church had its fust meeting in the early 1950's iD a house on Avenue B.

The lots at 14th Street and Avenue B were purchased from the First State Bank on Febru­ary 25, 1953. The walls of the auditorium were erected that year.

Sister Watts worked with the church for three years and upon her leaving the church closed.

Brother Glen Stafford came from Lubbock and held Sunday School on Sunday afternoons for a while.

Have We Forgotten? By G.G. Flores .

Pastor of Primeria Iglc.~ia Bautista

You don't have to be 'old' to forget! The "Greatest Truth" ever told is: "GOD !.S LOVE"! But, why is it that so many people think of God as Someone who is hard, cruel, unreasonable, unfair, and un­just? Why do we forget that God is love (I John 4:8)? Cou ld this be the 'main reason' why there is so much unh appiness in our world today; because we ~ that "God is love"?

Someone said, "Life's greatest happiness is to be convinced that we are ·Jove'd":J\rul; God loves us all! Too many people in our day speak l>f God as being a terrible, exacting, crue l, unrelenting and unfair Ruler, who passes out punishments wit h<ml fear or favor. But God is not a God of fierceness, of crue lty, or of terror; God is a God of love!

That is why God has given us a 'guiding principle' by which we all may judge and think of Him: He sent His Son into the world to demonstrate His character and attributes, His way of dealing with mankind. Yes, Jesus came on what we could call a "Wooing Mission"! The whole spirit of his dealings with men and women was that of a great lover wooing His beloved. Jesus was insistently eager to lead men and women to know His Father. Jesus knew that mankind had '!'isu{ldHS~Q~ . R,od, ,ilgg .. !-!e wanted to convince us that God is a ~·GOJ1'ili la.titis G~il:-~ God.

lnlletd, ' Jesus camcf.'IO"·ihis world bringing with Him th e love of · His Father in His own heart to give to us. So deep was His love for us that no sacrifice, no price was too great 1 In ret urn, Jesus deser ­ves our unlimited and unceasing love. And, out of that love we should give Him the gift of our loyalty and of our very beings! Yes, our love for Jesus should be greater than that for any other. For you sec, by His Spirit, Jesus, comes and looks into our heart s and asks us, as He did the Apostle Peter, .. ."Lovest thou me? -- I love m~~!"

INTODAYSEDUCATION,FMTHIS STILL STATE-OF-THE-ART

The high school and college graduates of today are well aware of the requirements of the job market and the training needed for it. The big thing is com­puters and all the electronic skills that go with them, as well as . the other sophisticated devices that enhance our modern lifestyles. Many people, no longer young, have returned to school to upgrade their skills. Religion, on the other hand, is another of life's learning experiences, and it is good to know that its basic principles and tenets will never change, because human nature never will. Through­out history we have acquired the same virtues and faults, although we now have_ mgre forms of tempta­tion. Nonetheless, what you learn at your House of Worship about living a good life 'Y.ill alwa}'li be "state-of-the-an." ·

.... , Top readers for lhe year in the "Book It" program at Abernathy Elementary School had a special field trip to Palo Duro State Park April20. There were 93 students making the trip.

·Ag survey begins today Beginning today, Joyce Adams

of Abernathy will begin contact­ing local farmers and ranchers to help set the 1990 planted acreage estimates and midyear livestock inventories for the Texas Agricultural Statistics Service.

Adams is one of over 100 field enumerators working on the surveys across the state.

Stale Statistician Dennis Findley emphasized that infor­mation from these surveys will help producers adjust their production and marketing plans for 1990.

"Good marketing requires good information and advanced plan­ning. Information from these surveys will provide Texas producers with solid facts and figures they can usc when making their marketing plans," Findley said.

"There are many uncertainties facing agriculture," Findley said, 'and accurate, reliable figures will give producers a chance to make · sound production and marketing decisions during the coming year." ..

Results of the confidential interviews, conducted by tele­phone or in person by field enumerators. Will be published later this summer.

The 1990 planted acreage report will be released June 28 and the U.S . cattle inventory will be released July 27.

To reduce survey costs, Find­ley is urging farmers and ranch­ers to return the mailed ques­tionnaires as soon as possible. Individual reports will be com­biDed with other reports to

state estimates. "Remember, these arc sam ple

surveys, so if you arc conlactcd, it is important to provide the

_ requested information, since your one report represents si milar operations of the same size and type. Our estimates can be no-beuer than th e numbers producers provide," said Findley.

The June agricultural survey is the largest of a series of sur­veys conducted throughtout the year by the Texas office.

Are You A Safety Belt Survivor? There's a special club for Texans who've

been saved by the belt. If you've been in a car wreck where you

were not at fault, and you escaped death or serious injury by having your safety belt . buckled, you may be eligible for the Texas Safety Belt Survivors' Club.

Morethan 600 lucky Texans already belong to the Survivors' Club, sponsored by the Safe Riders Program of the Texas Department of Health. All ages are wel­come, from infants on up. There's even an Elite Survivors' Club for people over 55.

This club never has meetings, and there are no dues. To apply for membership, just complete the application below. Each member gets a hand-lettered certificate, a survivor's pin, and a grab bag of safety­related goodies.

We sometimes ask survivors to appear at news conferences or speak to local civic groupe. By sharing your experience, you may help to save other lives. If you'd rather not have publicity, Safe Riders will honor your wish. Just let us know on your application.
