PIRHMKN'H HAM, A HlVCKHH (Jordon Journal: l,nst evening at the City Hall oc iiired the First Annual Firemen's Hall ami It was attended by the larg est crowd seen at an event of this nature in years The affair was given under the auspices of the Flreinen-s Auxiliary for the benetlt of the New Fire Truck Fund and nearly 1200 00 was realized as a result of this activity. Lunch was served In the Council roOBB from nine o'clock till the clos ing hours and was a decided suc cess. The hall was rather small for ttai lane Crowd which was In attend ance but nevertheless everyone who wns there seemed to enjoy them selves to 1he fullest extent. This amount makes a handsome showing on the new truck and it is hoped that by spring nenrly the en tire amount will have been realized by events of this kind of entertain ments. The next big event which the Fire men will probably stage will be a minstrel or some good comedy drama and It will certainly be very gratify ing to see the same progressive spir it show that has been thus fnr.

THURSDAY. iAW' JMl JM1 You nrobablv know very little of the difficulties under which the lo cal department handled tne conven tion. The failure of York cast a shadow of divided opinion that hung over u threateningly tip until the very opening of the convention, when everything seemed to flevoioe into a united effort and tne Nebraska State Volunteer Firemen's Associa tion held one of the most enthusiastic and successful conventions ever held With our efforts united solidly and with plenty of publicity I have every reason to believe that tne people of the state of Nebraska will realize more strongly than ever the true value of otir association of volunteer fire lighters and will look forward to the 1919 convention with a feeling of jealous envy toward the boys who stand ready to defend the country's reaources against the great destruc tive element MRS.

It Is nn ob ligation resting upon each of us who tins the light of truth that he should so set It before men thnt It can he Men thnt men may be enlightened, Cheered and served by It (Mntt. 5:14- 16; Phil 1:15-16). The secret things t our lives will be brought to light ;ome day. Enrs tire given with which ITS nre to henr, nr.d possession of henr- ir.tr involves tne responsibility as to tvhnt we hear. "The Gospel Is the power of God unto salvation to every one thnt belleveth" (Rom. 1:10). but believing comes through "hearing" (Rem. 10:17). In this there Is n mis sionary suggestion for our teachers. but there Is also a caution as to what nnd how we hear. "Take heed what we hear." Many today are being swept Into nil kinds of damning here sies because they do not follow this warning (2 Tim. 3 :1-13). Not only are we to be good listeners, but we must be doers as well (Jns. 1:22). This parable of the lamp follows closely upon the parable of the sower In our last lesson. "God, who first cre ated light, and Christ, in whom was life, and the life was the light of men," both together are one3 whom we are equally obliged to see. nnd hear nnd obey. To Impress the duty of this seeing, hearing nnd using of light upon his disciples, Jesus reminds them of some fnmlllar things. A can dle is not placed under a bushel nor under a bed. but on a cnndle stick. where it may be Reen of all. If our virtues go not forth from us, it will be as though we had hidden them from the world. "To him that heareth right slmll more be given," (v. 24) but for him that hath not and seed. not, from him shall be taken. Ib that hath not is he who neglects his opportunities, and "from him shnll be taken even that which he hath." In this we see a spiritual multiplication. nnd also a spiritual subtraction, de terioration. II. Growina. (1) Secrecy vv. 26-20). This Is n parable of faith and hope. found only In Mark. Again the good seed is referred to. but in this case unseen growth receives the emphasis, for the seed will spring and grow up, though we know not how. It is com forting to think that, if we sow the it rue seed, it grows while we sleep (v. 27.) The best selected seed (the holy word) Is essential for results. All of our seed must have this silent pe riod for growth. It is the earth that brings forth the fruit of herself through the energies and powers with which God endows It. These powers are wonderful. We do not understand them, but there is order and symmetry in growth. First the blade, then the ear, and after that the full corn in the ear. Then is the harvest, the purpose of the seed having been ac complished. Mark alone gives us this parable, and it is given in close rela tion to the parable of the sower nnd of the wheat and tares. Jesus is the great harvester (v. 29), and knows the right time to reap the grain, the mo ment when it is "ripe" (v4 29 R. V.). Then he putteth in the sickle. (2) There is also a marvelous out ward growth of the kingdom (vv. 30 82). There is the closest relation be tween the parable of the mustard seed and the two parables that pre cede. In Matthew the parable of the mustard seed is used in relation to the kingdom of heaven, which Is the soli. Te of the Christian profession. Here it is used of the kingdom of God, which Is spiritual. Why Is it used of both? The explanation, according to Doctor Scofleld, lies in the fact that the kingdom of God In this age and the kingdom of heaven have this tn common, that from an Insignificant beginning they had a rapid growth. If the abnormal growth of this common garden shrub illustrates di vine increase, why is it not more glori ous? There is not here anything like the greatness of the Assyrian and Babylonian empires. (Kzek. 31:3-6; Dan. 4:20-22). Is the significance of the birds good or evil? (ireat Baby Ion, the figure of a professing Chits tlsii body In guilty connection with the kings of the earth, becomes "a cage of every unclean and hate ful bird" (Rev. 18:2).

Her promptness in applying the remedy often saves a serious illness. Her experience with remedies has led her to know that PERUNA is always reliable, that she should have it on hand for the immediate treatment of coughs and colds, and that it is always to her The Family Safeguard The experience of one woman, given herewith, is typical of thousands of let ters that reach the Peruna Company from grateful friends who have found their homes incom plete, and their family safety in danger without PERUNA Mrs Geo rg Parker, 419 Water St., Merj ashs. Wis., writes: We have used Pe runa in our f.u.uly for a number of years, aud have found It a perfectly reliable mediciDe. It soon rids the sys tem of any traces of a cold, and pre vents serious con sequences. "I began using it for catarrh, which I suffered with a out naa not oeen very serious until recently. Since I have taken Peruna the dropping in my throat has discontinued, and my head and nose are not so stopped up in the morning. I am pleased with the results, and shall coiuinue to use it until I am entirely rid of catarrh. ' 'A heartily recommend it as an honest medicine." What it does for her it is ready to do for you. Colds and Catarrh The great weight of testimony that has accumu lated in the 44 years that PERUNA has been on the market proves it, beyond question, to be the reliable family rem edy, ever ready to take, preventing the serious effects of colds. co.ujhs, grip and derangements of the digestive organa This proof Is published from time to time and many families have profited by it.
