CELEBRATE 21ST BIRTHDAY
A suprise party was held Sunday,
May the loth, in honor of Frederick

visited with each other.
Then they went for a ride to see
the scenery of Louisville and also
visited the stone quarry and the state
fisheries. They all must have been
glad to visit the strange part of the
country. When they came back they
served ice cream and cake, and then
amused themselves by playing ball.
About six o'clock they started out
for their journey homeward. All were
surely sorry to see the party break up
as they were a nicegroup of boys
and girls. Each thanked themselves
for their dinner and the good time
they had had.
While the boys and girls were at
Liouiseville Mr. Kd Stinekamp am-l

economic imperialists, in order to
stimulate the demand for their pro

the same proposition. Of everything

Judabism had the greatest opportun

history to have become the world s

but they lost because they espoused
the spirit of selfishness and eschew
ed the demand for uprightness. They
could easily have risen to the support
of their revealed religion of Jehovah,
welcomed in loyal support the Sun
of Glory, the Lord Jesus Christ, and
have gone forth conquering and to
conauer and today be the world's
chosen people, and the world would
be just twelve hundred years ahead
of itself today. When Isaiah thun
dered his prophetic words, "Arise,
shine for thy light is come, and the
glory of the Lord ia risen upon thee,"
they merely smiled at his mystic
idealism and shuddered all the more
in the face of the enemy that, was
menacing them. But why berate the
past, other than to profit by its ex-
sun of Riehteousness. that bids
up iturn its rays upon the darkness
and dispel the gloom and scatter its
sunshine.
"Be like the bird that, paus
ing in its flight
Awhile on bough to light;
Feels it give way beneath it,
and yet 6ings
Knowing it hath wings."
The one great trouble with the
world's people today Is that they do
not know it is day light. They are
still in bed asleep. In fact it is high
noon, and the sun is at the meridian.
But still they slumber. Attending a
meeting in a Jewish synagogue, I was
puzzled to find the auditorium in
total darkness, yet it was filled with
people. The silence that prevailed
was broken by the quoting of O. T.
prophecy concerning the woes of Is
rael in the dark days of her afflic
tion. At a certain moment the lights
flashed on, the choirs sang out and
the audience joined in singing the
Hallelujah of the Messiah the Light
of the World, w. to them is yet to
come. They are still looking for
Him, but He is here. They are two
thousand years behind time. And so
are most of the rest of us.
Pussyfoot Johnson tells us that In
the City of Constantinople, practical
ly all the eight hundred saloons and
houses of shame and dens of vice and
gambling are run by what is known
to them as the "Christians." The
Church of the Holy Trinity has rais
ed a mad howl over the taking away
of their licenses to run gambling
joints. Is it any wonder that the
Turks see no light in such Christian
ity? Such Christianity has lost its
oil and has no light
"If any man hath not the spirit of
Christ in him, he is none of His."
Such spirits as that Christ drove out.
The uplift of too many Christians
has been confined to the nose. The
churches have altogether too many
members whose Christianity is a
ready made affair, which they put on
like a suit and take it off to suit the
occasion. They love church work so
well they go to sleep alongside of it.
Said a pastor to a child, "Why do you
not come to Sunday school?" Said
the child, "I am taking music les
sons now and mother does, not want
me to take up religion till later."
And then there is Willie, who said
his father belonged to the seven day
absentist church. All of which goes
to impress us with the fact that as a
world we have not got our eyes open
ed yet, and as a church we are still
rubbing the sleep out of our eyes.
Think of the folly of our nations
today, still hugging their fire arms
and caressing them, hoping to take a
shot at him who has slurred their
name. When that happens in our
neighborhood, we put that class of
people down as the lowest brows,
who browse on villainy and vice.
No wonder Canada's Province of
Ontario is dead and unprogressive.
In the City of Detroit a million peo
pleMium with the wheels of industry.
Across the river at Windsor, the grass
grows in their streets. We stopped
last summer in one of their towns
for breakfast at nine o'clock and t'-'r
had not yet opened up for busires
What a glorious world this one cou
be if the people and the church would
wake up to the tremendous possibili-
les of love and happiness that is
found in conducting the life after the
laws laid down by Jesus of Nazareth,
Savior and Redeemer of men.
There is no limit to the height of
success one can attain in the realm of
Christian faith. We speak of success
in terms of money. We point to
Henry Ford and sigh as we gasp, "Oh,
if I only had just one wee million of
his." He is far from a successful man.
When we get to heaven we will find
he will be trailing along way behind
many of our ten-cent-a-week Chris
tiana. But I have never read where
he gave anything away except he had
some one work for it. But he has
been a hard working man, and com
mercially deserves his honors. We
have heroes and idols of accomplish
ment whom the world delights to
honor. And we admire them in the
effort they have made to obtain. Wil
lie Hoppe practiced eight . hours a
day for years to gain the world's
championship at billiards. Thomas
Hitchcock started learning polo at
seven, when he was strapped in the
saddle. But he is the world's best.
Suzanne Lenglen could hit any one
of eighty squares across the tennis
court, but it took years to do it. Wil
liam Tilden also began at seven to
play teiyiis. And so on in every line,
but when they have attained, it does
not remain. A few short years and
they are forgotten.
If fame and honor requires such
diligence in temporal things, surely
eternal fame in righteousness could
expect to give nothing less. If the
world is enveloped in so great dark
ness today in its rapid life of com
mercial and social complications, so
much more does it need the light to
see in keeping itself free from becom
ing hopelessly snarled in creeds of
doubt and suspicion. Just as when
an enemy threatens our nation, there
is sent out a call to arms for defense
These soldiers who have saved us de
serve our lasting praise. When the
kingdom of truth needs defenders and
one rises with a life to give, he be
comes a soldier of the cross whose
honor in glory will glow through all
eternity,
Class of 1927, sixty-four strong.
the largest class in the history of
Plattsmouth High school, you can go
nto the world and become sixty-four
beacon lights of direction, keeping
thousands of people on the right way
to life. But first you must have the
light of faith or you cannot inspire
faith in anyone else. A native of
West Africa was carrying a charred
nd smouldering log. He had gone
to the nearest neighbor to get a
'catch" of fire, for all the fires in
their village hod gone out. There are
multitudes of lives who have lost
faith's fire and need to be hekindled.
A light is a positive thing. There is
no doubt in it. It has activity and
power within it. It is always attrac
tive. It can be seen a long distance.
And any one who will assume the sta
tion God has placed him in, with a
sense of living up to all that is ex
pected of him, will come to be known
as one dependable when help is need
ed. In China recently a Chinese min
ister was ordered by a Communist
Chinese soldier to interpret to his
church audience a speech the soldier
would make. The minister Interpret-
ed until he abused the Christian
faith, whereupon the minister re
fused to go farther. He was seized,
beaten and faced with death. He
said, "You can destroy my life, but
you cannot destroy my love of Jesus,
my Master." Such lights of the faith
as that is what will be the salvation
of China today. God's truth every
where cries aloud for such sacrifice
and service. We need it in Christian
America just the same as in heathen
China. Our failures today are not
due to great, overturning movements,
but the failure of Christian men and
women to meet the obligations and
seize the opportunities. The cynicism
of so many of our leaders today is
due to no fire of divine love on the
altar of their hearts. Beecher de
scribes them as "Human owls, vigi
lant in darkness and blind to the
light; mousing for vermine and never
seeing noble game."
In order to arise and Rhine in thia
life that is before you and the life
that will be forevtr, it is absolutely
essential that each one become a de
voted follower of the Lord Jesus
Christ. With Him you can do all
things, and without Ilim you can do
nothing. He will ground your IITe
in an assurance-and hope that will
make your life ring with a resonance
of faith in the security of His eternal
word. No one who has ever been
loyal to Him, has been betrayed, but
has ended his existence on earth in
a, glow of satisfaction and glory that
has no equal in any other attainment
of life. "Thou shalt be a crown of
glory in the hand of the Lord; and
a royal diadem in the hand of thy
God." No one ever shone in mater
ialistic or nationalistic holdings.
Atheism is but a destructive and con
suming passion; generalities in ones
thought only lead to indefinite mis
givings. Liberalism and fundament
alism are only befuddling terms to
real Christianity, which is found only
in a close loyalty and daily living
with the Imminent, Personal Savior
of men, the Lord Jesus Christ.
"Oh! New iq new, and old is old
And never the same they'll be,
'Till things of time shall shrink
To naught beside eternity;
But, brothers neither new nor old
Doxy, nor sect nor kind,
Shall part the hearts of Christ's
own ment
Who see with the Master's
mind.'
It Is not to be an easy road, for
nothing ever did shine without ultra
exertion. No one can dabble in loose
habits of propriety, take changes in
questionable methods of business,
ignore the laws of social righteous-
.ness, indulge in a degraded line of
filthy language, and ignore the im-
mutable laws of the kingdom of God,
and expect to exert any influence of
a constructive nature in Christian
faith.
One night in a hotel bar room in
Medora, Dakota, the men were ap
plauding and encouraging a drunken
ruffain in the vile stories he was
telling. They were afraid not to be
pleased, for he was a tough gunman.
But there sat there a young man
called "Four Eyes," who did not
laugh nor lend encouragement to
such misuse and abuse of man's gold
mine of tolk He interrupted this
ruffian who had been designated as
"Hell-Roaring-Bill-Jnes," by saying,
"Bill Jones, you are the nastiest talk
ing man I have ever heard." His
first impulse was to draw his gun,
but he surprised the audience in the
saloon by apologizing to his rebuker,
saying, "Pard, I coufess I have been
too free with my mouth." And young
Theodore Roosevelt had proved the
calibre of the great man that he was
by shining as a brilliant light in a
dark place. As Curtis says, "How
few of us can keep our balance when
a regal soul flashes by." There is a
place of great prominence and honor
for each one of you, if you can only
see that the sun of righteousness has
risen in the person of Jesug Christ,
the son of the living and true God,
and that He bids you arise in His
light and so live as to reflect it in ;
all the world so that others "may
see your good works and glorify your j
Father which is in Heaven. j
Life is a long distance run, not a !
sprint. Be ye steadfast, unmovable, j
always abounding in the work of the j
Lord. You may gain no great wealth; I
you may never be known far from
your community in fame; you may be
hounded by defeats and losses, trou
bles and sorrows, but if you are faith
ful in the little things, you have the
privilege of becoming ruler over
many things, and great shall be your
reward in heaven.
God's trumpet wakes the

He joins the faithful host.
He who is ready for the
cross;
The cause despised loves most,
And shows not pain or
shame or loss
He joins the martyr host.
God's trumpet wakes the
slumbering world;
Now each man to his post.
The Christian banner is
unfurled j
We join the glorious host."
