E. convention held in the city follows: Home missions may be defined as the outreaching of the church in America to those people and places: in our own land beyond the imme diate environs of the local church.! The hidden forces of national life are instructive and unconscious. The ideals of nations like those of indi-! viduals are derived from all the con crete qualities of character. The ideals which are a compelling force in our nation today cannot be ascribed to anyone force but are the result of all those formative reactions which are' the product of racial, economic, social, ethical and religious forces. The con-1 cept of the main ideal today is that it"“shaB not only save the individual, but shall also remove that which pro duces crime and makes sin inevitable, | in short that it will seek to redeem the environments as well as the sin ner and give more wholesomeness, more fullness more joy to life through : redeeming its conditions as well as saving its soul. On the church it's outreaching. • Home missions as the instrument for the kingdom progress rests a heavy responsibility in supplying that spiritual dynamic and inspiration which is back of all social upbuild ,ng. It must produce the men, women whose characters are such that in their attitude toward industry labor legislation in all their social capaci ties they will seek to live Christ’s so cial principle, “What you would that men should do to you do ye even so to them.” Home missions is one of the greatest contributors to national righteousness. Through it the higher life of the community is developed. Home missions brings the most telling force possible to the upward struggle of our people. Home missions real- ] izes that greater responsibility must | now enter into the mission of the church at home if this country is to remain Christian itself and be a force i for Christianity in the world. The | war is now over. People are becoming j settled in the ordinary walks of life j and it seems to me the possibilities are greater than ever before. (To Be Continued.) | Lincoln Department Major Moore, one of Lincoln’s pio neers, who of late has been a victim of stomach trouble, is now recovering under the able direction of Dr. A. B. Moss. Mr. Roy McAlester is the proud fa ther of a bouncing baby boy. Roy says, “I’m working night and day for that boy, yes and the mother, too.” Mother and son are both doing well.

RACE MAN MAKES HIS PILE IN WEST Otto Griffin, formerly a ranchman of Wyoming, set Lincoln astir when he dropped in on the real estate men of that city and calmly asked if they had any farms for sale at the same time displaying a roll of greenbacks that looked like the roll of a late ammunition manufacturer. When told by one dealer that he had eighty acres five miles west of the city under cul tivation at $225 per acre, Griffin said, “show me.” After viewing the land he said that he would buy it. He closed the deal anil signed the papers. Then he hied himself to Dodge City where he kept his promise to a little woman to make her his wife. They are now encouncsed on the farm with every convenience and a large late model touring car makes the city a short distance away.
