Governor McMuIlcn Tuesday in dited a letter to Dwiht F. Davis. acting secretary cf v?.r, relative to Nebraska's participation in deafens- day, In which he said that he f vored both the plan and the- dnte. "No more appropriate date could 1p selected," wrote the governor "Tor reviewing the dcfor.se etrength cf our nation than the day upon which our independence was first proclaimed. Likewise, the sacrificed cir forefathers made to secure our national freedom certainly Implies a sacred responsibility on the part of succeeding generations to give thought to its maintenance and per- lrA "iiy. "Put defense dav does not mean preparation for Avar. It means, rath er, the acquiring of necessary facts and figures moRt essential to have In case of war. America does not start wars. On the contrary, aa history shows, we use every possible means to prevent them; yet history also shows we have been forced to engage In wars not of our making. "Defense day embodies no motive tht is inconsistent with peaceful and cordial relations with every oth er nation, great or small. Having no ambitions or intentions that conflict with the rights of other peoples, the United States has every reason of sentiment and interest to be a help ful neighbor to all nations with which It has dealings. As a legiti mate means of mobilizing our skele ton units of military organizations, for the purpose of keeping them in a proper state of efficiency, the defense day idea Is to br? commended. "It will be my purpose to lend per sonal co-operation in helping to work out such details as will make the plan a success in our state." WEEK'S EEC0ED IN THE BIG LEAGUES New York. June. 7. New hope to night tinged the background of a pennantless past for St. Louis base ball teams as they entered with new zest into the major league race under the inspiriting leadership of two infield idols. Turning their back3 on a disappointing start, which has kept them in last place for several weeks, the Cardinals rallied uneler thir new manager, Rogers Tlornsby. to out hit and outscore the entire National league field for the best performance of the eight rearing week. Backed up by the J;rilllant pitching of Haines, Dickerman. Rhem and Sherdel. the Cardinals es tablished an offensive behind the long range fire of HornsLy and Bot tcmley, winning five of their seven games in good style. Hardly less impressive was the sharp recovery of the Browns under Sisler. While in point of games won and lost the St. Louis Americans were forced to share second place for the week with New York and Boston, the team thundered a warning of fu ture rebellion with the week's high total of runs for both circuits at 6 6. Sharp form reversals under heavy hitting marked the week's efforts of two other clubs in the American Boston and New York. A general shakeup and the re turn of Babe Ruth had their effect on the Yankees in greatly improved morale, while Bob Meusel led the team wftli sensational extra base hitting. The Boston Red Sox, third of the American league second division teams to revolt, failed to vault from last place in spite of a determined push. Washington, last week's American ! leader with five triumphs and two defeats, picked up two games on the Athletics. Still unaffected by the crippled condition of the team and the ab sence of Manager McGraw, the New York Giants breezed along at the head of the National league pack. All the other National league teams trailed contentedly along in the, order of march they occupied during the previous weeii. i pbf zrunnr rccnv 4 3- Sunday, June 14, 1925 By M. a Briggs ,l.t.T,TTT,f.T?.TT..TTlT, The Church, at Antioch Golden Text: "The disciples were first called Christians In Antioch." Acts 11:26. . It seemed a great hardship when Saul of Tarsus persecuted the early church at Jerusalem, and when they had to flee from their homes, their native city of Jerusalem, thoy going to all parts of the countrj' Jn order to save their lives. But being filled with the Christian spirit, which Is likewise a Missionary spirit., they told the story of Jesus and his pow er to save, of his wonderful life, of his walking on the sea, of his heal ing the lepers, raising Lazarus from the dead, and how he said he was the Son of God and that he would be crucified and would be raised again on the third day, how he had ascended to heaven and as he was departing had said, "Go ye into all the world and preach my gospel t; every creature." They were literally doing this, many of those who left Jerusalem going to Antioch, and be ing Jews as well as Christians told the Jews who lived there the story and gained many converts. Others in fleeing from Jerusalem went to Cyrene. which la on the northern coast of Africa, then to Antioch later as did also some who had gone to the Island of Cypress. These two classes told their story to Greeks and other classes, gaining convertsand a strong church was established at Antioch as a result of this combined composed of Jews, Greeks and many other nationalities. This was appar ently after the church at Jerusalem had had Peter on the carpet for preaching to other than Jews. Antioch was third city in the Ko rean empire which extended over mrch of the then known world. Sit uated at the northeast corner of the Mediterranean sea, it had a trade by sea from all ports cn that body of water and a like trade by caravan from the interiors of Asia, and this made tho city cosmopolitan with peo ple from all over the world. With i's pr'-iatlon of more than half a mil lion, this place presented a great field for the young church. Growing rapidly as it did, it soon attract ed notice from the mother church .vhich was at Jerusalem, and that church fent Joseph Barnabus, who it will be remembered sold a farm and save the proceeds to the church, to Antioch to investigate. r.arnabus v.txs a good man. u devout-Christian and a person with much ability. On coming to Antioch he found the church working well and this means they were a missionary church, so he set about to strengthen them. Af ter he had encouraged the church &nd saw the opportunities which the ("nation afforded for even a more rapid growth, he felt he must have help, not alone from Christ and the Father, and so being aware of the obedity, the enthusiasm and the de votion of Saul, who was then in Tarus. he went and found him, bringing him to Antioch, where the two remained for a year preaching and strengthening the church. Here there was no opposition to them and the new church greatly different from most places where they had preached and established churches. While they were at Antioch, there came a prophet Agabus, and assisted with the work, and also propherled that there would be a famine from drouth, it coming the next year, A. D. 4 4, when Claudiu3 was emperor at Rome. This same prophet, Agabus, met Paul years afterwards while on hi3 lart trip to Jerusalem anel prophesied he would be made a prisoner and finally put to death. This, like the prophesy of the famine came true. That the Antioch church was a missionary church was evidenced by their contributing to a fund to re lieve the members of the church at Jerusalem. This was given into the hands of Paul and Barnabus who carried It to Jerusalem, where it was very gladly received. This in a meas ure mellowed the resentment which the mother church had held because of the receiving of others than Jews into the church. They were first called Christians in Antioch. The name was first ap plied In derision, making sport, but as the disciples were pleased with the name it soon became their real church name and all were glad to be recognized by this name. They had been called "Nazarines" because that was where Jesus had spent his childhood there. They were also called "Gallileans" because Nazareth was in Gallilea. The word Christian was well suit ed for the name of the new church and Christendom a good name for all nations who accept him and- do his work. F. A. Noble has said: "A Christian is a mind thru which God thinks; a heart thru which God loves; a voice thru which God speaks and a hand thru which God helps." That church which is a liye, active church, must be missionary, and the church which is missionary will al ways be a live and active church.

Lincoln, June 9. His nineteenth reprieve, granted by Governor IIc Mullen at noon today, saved Walter R. Simmons from death by the elec tric chair until July 9. Governor McMullen announced the new reprieve after he with the other two members of the state pardon board had concluded a conference with Simmons which began at 9 o'clock this morning The governor said the board would meet in special session to night to decide whether or not tliey will give Simmons another heaIi:g some time between now and July S. If the new hearing i not granted, and if further legal efforts by Sim mons' attorneys are unavailing, Sim mons must die one month from to day. A threat to carry the Simmons case before the people and to use It as a means of wiping the capital punishment law from the statutes was made by Judge E. P. Holmes, Simmons' attorney. "I am so convinced that Simmons is innocent," Judge Holmes said, "that even if he is electrocuted on July 9, I am going to continue to gather the proofs of his innocence. I informed the governor and the oth er members of the board of my in tentions and I have pointed out to them what the situation might be if Simmons' innocence were establish ed after he had been electrocuted. I am also going to use this ease as the means of doing away with capital punishment in Nebraska by showing to the people how an Innocent man may be killed under fhe law as it stands now." Judge Holmes intends to question the legality of at least one of the re prieves issued a year ago by Gover nor Bryan in the hope that it would make any electrocution afterward illegal. Simmons appeared very nervous after his three hour conference with the board. He inquired anxiously whether the governor had given any indication of the probable decision of the board. He said that during the conference he went over with the board the complete story of the crime and explained it as be3t he could. I "We didn't have much time to go into detail," he said, "but I am hope ful and I'm infinitely grateful to the board for their courtesy in giving ' me this opportunity." After the conference Simmons went down into the cell house and to his cell alone. The governor said the board's de- We Pav the CASH for Oresm, Poullsy and Egp! The Beet of Treatment 2 .
