The Roundup
By WILBORNE HARRELL
Mrs. Fletcher’s light shines too
brilliantly to be hidden under a'
bushel. Yet there is no spot in,
the Sbepard-Pruden Library bet-,
ter qualified to hide an object,
than the corner chosen to hang
the Inglis Fletcher Memorial
Plaque. It is unfortunate that 1
this unintentional blunder has
been made, but it' is a situation
that can and should be remedied.
The plaque is placed on the wall,
immediately to the left on enter
ing the front door, and partially
hidden in shadow. It wouldn’t
occur to anyone to look sharply
to his left on stepping over th'e
threshold, if he were looking for
the plaque; for it is instinctive
to continue walking when enter
ing a door, at least for some
distance. That was my experi
ence. I walked through the
*, door, on into the hall, and

searched the building for quite]
a while in an effort to locate J
! the plaque. I finally had to,
j ask the librarian where it may j
!be found. Imagine my chagrin]
I when she pointed it out to me—|
placed,, in my opinion, in the]
I most unlikely and most undesir-1
able spot in the whole library.

PERSONAL NOTE: When this
small fry dropped in the other
day to look me over and re
fused some cookies I offered
’him, I was ipdeed surprised.
But then I bethought me of how
my mother admonished me to
mind my manners when visit

don’t ask for goodies. But I

The circus will have an ar- !

Underneath the huge canvas
tent over 100 people and count
less animals will perform on the
three rings, two stages, mam
moth hippodrome track and
giant steel arena.
Clowns will be a big feature
of the show. Throughout the
don’t remember her telling me
not to accept a cookie if I were
offered one ... I still can’t
figure out why he refused —I
usually have to fight ’em off
when there are cookies in the
offing. Speaking of kids drop
ping in, I have quite a number
of objects interesting to chil
dren, of which not the least i;
a ventriloquial dummy. Thi:
dummy answers to the name
of Johnny Maquire, sports a
Western outfit, lawman’s badge
’n all, and can outdraw and out
shoct Matt Dillon. Johnny likes
the affection bestowed on him
by his little friends, and has
told me so many times . . . Well,-
what’s wrong with talking to a
dummy? A fellow’s got to talk
to somebody.

I The Power Os Prayer
I By TERRY JONES
"And I say unto you. Ask- and it
shall be given you; seek, and ye
shall find; knock, and it shall
be opened unto you." Luke 11:9.
"And whatsoever ye shall ask
in my name, that will I do, tha:
the Father may be glorified in
the Son." John 14:13.
During this season of the year
when many churches are hold
ing revivals, prayer should be
filling the air from earnest
nearis and minds. Surely many
prayers are being made jiut one
may. wonder if these prayers are
coming from earnest hearts.
When people pray for such
things as loved ones, revivals,
lpst souls and the world crisis
do they truly expect an answer
irom God? Surely God wouldn’t
tnswer a prayer that didn’t ex
pect an answer.
The prophet Elijah showed
treat faith in God for an answer
o prayer as he called the chil
dren of Israel to Mt. Carmel for
a contest. It was to be decided
who was God —Jehovah ar Baal.
Elijah proclaimed, “the God that
answereth by fire let him be
God.” The great contest pro
ceeded as the offering was
placed on the altar and the four
hundred and fifty prophets of
Baal cried unto their god. They
started that morning and rante 1
and raved until noon. At noon
Elijah mocked them by telling
them to cry louder maybe their
god was oil a journey, or asleep
and couldn’t hear them. The
prophets of Baal then offered
their own blood by cutting them
selves, but still no fire from
Heaven came.
Then Elijah’s turn came to
try. He took twelve stones and
built an altar in the name of
the Lord; and made a trench
about the altar, and poured
barrels of water on the altar
until even the trenches were
filled. After this with great
faith Elijah called unto God to
let the people know that He was
the one true God. Suddenly
fire fell from Heaven and con
[ sumed the sacrifice, the wood,
the stones, the dust and even
the water that was in the
for the best in...

trench. The people fell on their
facet and acknowledged the Lord
as God.
Our whole world needs fire:
from Heaven in the form of a
revival. Won’t you pray in the
name of Jesus for our world, for
our revivals, for a lost friend
and for yourself. But, first of I
all get right in the sight of God 1
yourself. Expect an answer
from God then you will rejoice
in the results of the Lord. Seek
and ye shall find. I
