OLD FASHIONED MEN
Miner Clites Pleases People.
The recital which was given at the
home of Phillip Schafer last Friday,
under the auspices of the Bible school
of west of Plattsmouth. was well at
tended, there being over two hundred
and fifty in attendance, so many, in
fact that the house could not hold
the crowd and many had to listen
from the lawn. Miner Clite3 of Shen
andoah, proved himself to all the
listeners to be an excellent musician
and this was manifested by the ex-
icellence of. the program and the in-
tense interest which was manifested
) by his listeners. There were one
i hundred automobiles there to carry
those who were in attendance.
Will Use Murray Gravel.
The gravel bank, which is located
in the field of Mrs. W. E. Dill, east of
, Murray, will be used for the gravel
ing of a portion of the highway, as
leases have been executed for the
same, and a camp located there with
machinery being installed for the
loading of the gravel into trucks.
Fortunate are the people that they
are securing such a good quality of
gravel as i3 located In the pit on the
farm of Mrs. Dill. The headquarters
of the crew which is doing the work
has been changed to Murray and they
.will work from here for some time.
My Christian parents taught me that
j " the Scriptures told the truth.
They took me to the sanctuary in ray
early youth.
Sometimes I chafed and fretted when
religion seemed too stern.
But my parents would insist that I
the catechism learn.
Ah, yes! a generation has passed
away since then.
But I often think the world today
needs more old fashioned men.
II
The last decade ha3 carried us in
mighty leaps and bounds;
The world is now a wonderland full
of strange sights and sounds;
And men like Mr. Bryan are esteemed
somewhat unlearned.
Because when sin is rampant they
cannot be unconcerned.
The faithful heart, the ready tongue,
the consecrated pen
Are needed now as ne'er before; We
need old fashioned men.
Ill
Some of us passed through college
hall3 some thirty years ago;
We followed the curriculum and did
not deem it slow.
Our seminary training taught that
God must be supreme.
In these jazz days of pleasing men
that training seems a dream.
We put the case before you is life
saner now than then?
Do we need more modern preachers
or more good old fashioned men?
IV
Shall we look with scorn on Edwards,
Wesley. Luther, Calvin, Knox?
Shall we manufacture calves of gold
lest we be orthodox?
Do the little men of science fill the
ever yawning gap?
Or do their false pretensions now
our very life blood sap?
Ah, these giants who have left us!
Shall we see their like again?
,May the coming generations ba like
these old fashioned men.

? BIBLE SCHOOL LESSON f
j- Sunday, July 26th
4.
By M. S. Brigga
The Broader Christian Life
Golden Text: "We believe we shall
be saved through the grace of the
Lord, Jesus." Acts 15:11.
When Barnabas and Paul return
ed to the church at Antioch, the first
church established outside of Jeru
salem, there was great rejoicing.
They had been away for a long time,
had established a number of churches
and had endured many hardships.
The church at Antioch wanted to
hear what they had to say about their
work in the other lands.
We recall how we were pleased at
the news of the signing of the armis
tice on November 11, 1918. and how
when the boys returned we met them
with bands and great rejoicing and
there was joy in the land. Such must
have been the feeling of the church
at Antioch. Paul and Barnabas re
counted the experiences thru which
they had passed and the success
which had come of their work. While
they had both undergone some very
severe trials during their absence,
they had returned to meet up with
other fliff iculties.
Certain men came down from
Judea, and in their teachings said,
"Except ye be circumcised after the
custom of Moses, ye cannot be saved."
From a very narrow conception of
the old Mosaic law these very strict
Pharisees had cultivated the belief
that such was the case. They had
srutten the idea that in the observ-
inoe or ordinances ana cue letiei 01
th- law alone was the way of salva
tion. Hence they stressed the letter
instead of the spirit. They held that
one must Decome a jew oeioie lit-
otiId become a Christian, while
Christ had said. "lie that believeth
on me, though he were dead, yet
-hall he live and he that liveth and
believeth on me shall nt-ver died."
The discussion which followed was
! reatir.g a division in the Ar.tioch
-hurdi which had sent out mission
aries to convert the world. So after
much consideration of the preposition
it was decided to send a delegation
to the church at Jerusalem for their
decision. Barnabas i.n-1 Paul were
-h'.stn with others and they journey
ed thither, making the trip partly by
ooat and partly on foot.
They finally car.:o to Jerusalem,
and the members of the church came
together to greet them and hear what
these two great evangelists had by
the hand of God aci omplished in or
ganizing churches in a foreign land.
Then folowed a meeting of the lead
ers of the church at Jerusalem,
among them Peter and John, who
had been with the Master during his
life in the flesh, also James the El
der, the brother of the Lord. (James,
the brother of John, the son of Zeb
edte. had been beheaded by King
Herod -
Then there arose in this meeting
.ertain men who declared that Paul
zzul Barnabas had done wrong in
that they had received into the
birch Gentiles who had not been
ircum;ised. and that all should have
become J-ws before they could be
come Christians.
Vv'he-a the discussion had become
very intense. Peter, that sturdy old
apostle and Ssherman. who had brav
ed many a storm on the sea of Galli
lee, as well as a content with those
opposed to the cause of the Master,
arose and said: "Men and Brethren,
ye know how that a good while ago
God made choice among us that the
Gentiles by my mouth should hear
the word of the gospel and believe.
And God. who knoweth the hearts
bear them witness, gives unto them
the Holy Ghost even as he did unto
us: and pms no difference between
us and them, purifying their hearts
by faith. Now. therefore, why tempt
you God to put a yoke upon the neck
of the disciples, which neither our
betters nor we were able to bear. But
we believe that through the grace of
the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be
saved even as they."
Then was the discussion in a way
quieted and Barnabas and Paul told
of the work the Lord had done thru
the medium of the churches which
had been established and the members
who had embraced and accepted
faith in the master.
Then spoke James the leader of
the church, who was a brother of
Jesus, and said: "Men and Brethren.
hearken unto me. Simon (that is
Peter) hath declared how God at the
first did visit the Gentiles to take
out of them a people for his name
and to this agree the words of the
rrophets. as it is written. 'After this
I will return -and will build again
the tabernacle of David which is fall
en down; and I will build again the
ruins thereof and will set them up.'
Known unto God are all his works
from the beginning of the world,
wherefore my sentence is that ye
trouble not them which from among
the Gentiles are turned to God."
Then the whole church decided to
send a letter to the church at Anti
och and special messengers as well to
accompany Barnabas and Paul, tell
ing the same thing by word of mouth.
They selected two men Barsabas Ju
das and Silas, who accompanied the
two great missionaries on the return
journey and delivered the message
from the church at Jerusalem to the
Antioch church.
This made it plain that it was not
necessary to observe the law of Moses
which had been abrogated by the
death and resurrection of Christ
and that it was not recuired to first
(become a Jew in order to become a
1 Christian, for the Christianity in
iStituted by the death of Christ was
'broad enough to embrace the entire
l world. For Christ died for the sins
of the world those committed by
'Adam, those before the flood and all
down along the line during the Old
.Testament times, until his coming,
, those liing then and until now, even
.until the last man shall inhabit the
