man No one at Hemphill Presbyterian

them forget the loss of their

haired Rev J Hoytt Boles
came to town with a greater

reputation as a Panhandle rodeo
announcer than as a preacher
they probably were Just a

bit skeptical
It was only natural that they
should grieve over loss of a
pastor whose capabilities outgrew
his position placing him
as secretary to the churchs National
