"A very valuable
citizen"
When a bank manager was transferred
recently a group of citizens wrote the
bank in tribute to his sense of
public service:
"During the time he was here, we found
him to be a very valuable citizen. He
always took a deep interest in our
community, so we feel we have lost a
valuable asset. However, we feel sure that
his replacement will be made with
a man of similar calibre."
A bank man, by the very nature of his
work, becomes part of the life around
him. During his training in various
branches, and as he takes on growing
responsibilities, he learns more and more
.about people and how his bank can help
them. And he brings to his community
his personal readiness to serve in
any way he can.

ularity of Caesar and with Anthony
who roused the populace te frenzy
against the murderers. He recruited
and led an array that finally scatter-
ed the rebel forces and drove Brutus
and Cassius to suicide,
It appears there was no real ill.,
feeling on the part of Anthony to-
ward the assassins, at least after they
Were dead, for Plutarch tells us that
"When Anthony found the body of
Brutus, he ordered it covered with
the richest robe. The ashes of Brutus
he sent to his mother Servilia." That
was a typical act of a triumphant
Roman politician to snake friends of
his former opponents, Where both
contestants survived the battle be-
tween their military forces, they
sometimes shook hands and agreed to
bury the hatchet and share the spoils
of power, with the proviso that each
would kill off certain members of his
party who might prove troubleseme
under the new regime, Those ancient
politicians were ruthlessly astute.
"We don't do that sort of thing in
these days of democratic government,
Our election contests are not fought
with awards or bullets, but with ver-
bal artillery and ballots. The party in
power may use the smoke-screen to
cover up its misdoings, and the oppos-
ition may resort to poisonous "gas,"
while both sides will indulge in open
bribery by out-poisoning each other
in measures of social welfare. But this
is all part of the political "game,"
and although it tends to increase the
cost of government and most other
things, there is no bloodshed and the
defeated politicians survive the battle
with little or no damage, except, per-
haps, to their reputations.
"Every country has its own consti-
tution; ours is absolution moderated
by assassination." That saying was at-
tributed by George Herbert to "an
intelligent Russian" a hundred years
ago, and the saying proved to be
prophetic with the assassination of
the constitution, but it is still absolut-
ism, and assassination is still the
modifier, though it is now used sec-
retly by the government itself under
the moderated title of "liquidation,"
the idea being to nip in the bud any
plot to liquidate the Czar's successor,
who, for extra safety purposes, lives
a secluded life within the strong
fortress of the Kremlin. If Julius
Caesar had been astute enough to
have had Brutus and Cassius liquidat-
ed he might have died of old age,
and thus deprived Shakespeare of
material for one of his greatest trag-
edies, which he lifted from Plutarch.
Premier Stalin has probably profited
by a close study of the lives and
deaths of those ancient absolutists
and improved on their preventive
methods against assassination. Or he
may have been influenced by the
grave remark of Tweedledee: "You
know, it's one of the most serious
things that can possibly happen to
one in battle—to get one's head cut
off."

Stalin and Caesar

By Lewis Milligan
I have been re..reading Plutarch's
Lives, and the chief thing that im-
pressed me was the constant compe-
tition for power between the political
and military rulers, and would-be
rulers, state of political warfare, and
it was by no means cold war of de-
bate, although oratory played a large
part in influencing public opinion for
or against the contestants. But the
decisions were not alawys left to pub-
lic opinion at elections,. The aspirants
for office had a rough way of dispos-
ing of an opponent, and they resorted
to bribes and other subtle methods
for winning over their former enem-
ies,
The outstanding example of political
liquidation was, of course, the assas-
sination of Julius Caesar, Brutus and
Cassius, who plotted and performed
the killing, were political adventurers.
By the removal of Caesar they hoped
to set up a more democratic form of
government of which they would be
the heads. But they bungled the busi-
ness and did not reckon with the pop-

stars who have recently made their
decision to give their lives and talents
to Christian service.
Produced as an experinlent, "Mr.
Texas" has amazed religions leaders
and motion picture authorities alike
during its first year pf showings. At
the film's preview in Hollywood Bowl
on October 1„ 3,051, a record throng
of 25,000 persons jammed into the
huge ampitheatre for the largest at-
tendance any motion picture has ever
had in this country, During the past
year of showings an estimated 3,000,-
000 persons have seen the film. From
this number of viewers, some 85,000
have made decisions to accept the
Christian way of life,• according to
records on file in the Graham film
organization's Washington, D. C., of-
flee. Both figures indicate new highs
in evangelistic circles, 3,000,900 is the
largest number ever to see a Gospel
film in one year, and the 85,000
decisions represent the largest single
evangelistic effort during recent
years.
The story revolves around the Billy
Graham Crusade in Will Rogers Col-
iseum in Fort Worth, Texas, one year
ago, To produce the film, an entire
motion picture company moved from
Hollywood to Texas and made all of
the Texas scenes in the vicinity of
Fort Worth, The rodeo scenes, some
of the most beautiful color photo-
graphy being seen today, were made
at Hardin Simmons University, and
feature the world champion Mayo
Rodeo Riders, together with the fam-
ous Hardin Simmons Cowboy Band.
Original music for the picture was
composed by Cindy Walker, called
the "true queen of Western song writ-
ers," and Redd Harper, Several of the
songs from "Mr. Texas" have appear-
ed recently on records, and complete
albums are available. In several cities
where the film has been shown it has
been necessary to schedule two and
three showings per night, and often
return engagenients have been de-
mantled. Here, the picture will be
shown at 8 p.m. No charge for ad-
mission will be made for "Mr. Texas."
