By M. & Brlggs f Golden Text: "I therefore the Son shall make yau free, you shall be free indeed." John 8:36. A Vexed Question Settled Some people come from Jerusalem to Antioch, and brought the question of essentials of salvation, saying that it was needful for a Chirstian to be circumsized in order to attain eter nal life, when Christ said to Martha, (John 11:25-26) "I am the ressurec tion and the life; he that believeth on me. though he were dead yet shall live; and whosoever liveth and be- lieveth on me shall never die. Be lieveth thous'this? In verse 27, Mar tha replies, "Yea Lord I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God which should come into the world." Now comes some zealots saying that it is needful that the Christian should be circumsized, that they might be saved. They being so filled with the teach ings of the Jews that they could not see that Christ who is the very Son of God. should have power to put into effect the terms where by we must be saved. Later did Paul say "There is no other name given under heaven and among men whereby we must.be saved." Paul when these trouble makers came among the church at Antioch. held that the cir cumcison was not required, and as he had been a convert to Christ out to Jerusalem to consult with thf elders, that is the apostles who were there. Therefore Paul and Barbabas ;were selected with certain others and they were sent to Jerusalem to take jthe case before the Church there Now this was at a time when there 'had been a cirough v.r.ti times wen- de-,rathtr nar(l for tn" people living in ! Jerusalem, and a collection by the J prosperous members of the church ai Amiocn, wnicn was a strong church, was made and this was sent by the hands of Paul to the needy members -t Jerusalem. .,. Hearing the Question Discussed. The journey was made as most of the journeys were made in that coun try at that time, on foot and it re quired some time to make it as An- jtioch was some distance, and a par- tion or the trip was made by hoat paul had had his lesson, and had down from heaven and Peter wa.c commanded to slay and eat, and he had replied that he had never eaten cleansed." Peter who had been cal citrant, and an outlaw in thought was as the Master said when thou shalt become converted, thou shalt lead my people. When the questior was nrougnt to tne council for ad- Justment. Peter rose and said. "Bre- them, ye know that good while asrc God made choice among tis that the Gentiles hv mv month shnui,i no the word of the gospel and believe And God who knowth the heart, bear them witness. Giving them the Holy Spirit, even as he did unto us. And 'he made no distinction between u? ana them, cleansing their hearts by faith.

They found threshing the order of the day around Creighton, where sev eral of the old time steam rigs were in evidence. The principal small grain crop is oats, although some barley is raised. The average oats yield is from 32 to 36 bushels to the acre, and the quality is very good as a result of the dry weather that pre vailed there for nearly a month past. The hot winds were scorching the corn, however, and Sunday commun ity prayers were offered in Creighton churches for rain. J Yesterday, enroute home, the Webb family drove through heavy rainfall, accompanied by some hail, from Fierc e almost to Fremont and indi-: cations were the downpour v.as wide spread over that portion of the state. Around West Point the rain came down in blinding sheets and small) sized hailstones were driven with much force by the shifting winds. GOES TO REFORM SCHOOL From Tuesday's rally . This morning the county court was occupied in hearing a complaint that had been filed against Glen Reckard of Weeping Water. The young mar was charged with having forged j checks to which were signed thej names of Henry Urish . and, Wallace i Philpot, well known residents of that?; section of the county. There were fivej of the checks and which aggregated something like $36. To the charge as preferred by County Attorney W G. Kieck, the prisoner entered a plea of guilty and on hearing the evidence in the case and the fact that the par ents had done their utmost to keep the young man in the right path, the court decided to have him committed to the Ptato industrial school at Kear n e y. -l imm The young man who is eighteer years of age will be taken to Kearney this afternoon or Wednesday to start on the serving of his sentence. - PURCHASES HOME HERE From Tuesday's: pally ' This city is to have the addition of another splendid family in the near future, as the purchase of the Henry Brinkman residence on Elm street, just opposite the Masonic Hcm, has been made by John M. Meisinger, .Well known residents of near Mynard. Mr. and Mrs. Meising er have decided that, they will leave the farm and enjoy the years in th future in a well deserved rest from their labors and have made the pur chase of this home which is a splen did home and well located and one that will make them a fine home. The many Plattsmouth friends of this estimable couple are delighted to learn that they are to make this city their future home and extend to them a cordial welcome to this city to reside. IS THE CELLAR PASSING? One of the big items of expense in building the average home is the excavation required for building the cellar. Architects and heating engi neers are cooperating in designing celarless houses. The chief purpose of the cellar is to house the heating plant. Elimin ation of the cellar calls for a system of heating that occupies a minimum of ground floor space and is free from dust and ashes. The perfection of automatic heat ing plants using oil or gas for fuel, thus eliminating the old fashioned coal bins and ash cans, is revolution izing home construction. Fuel oil can. be kept in a tank underground and piped to an oil burner, while gas is piped to a house from mains in the street. It is stated that architects figure that the elimination of the cellar makes it possible to save from -1,-000 to $2,000 in the construction of the average dwelling, which in many instances will more than offset the cost of automatic heating plants will their greater convenience, safety and comfort. BEAUTIFYING HOME From Tuesday's lj.Uy Michael Hild is having his resi dence on Main street repainted and placed in the best of shape for the fall and winter and the addition of the new paint makes the home very attractive to the eye and a great im provement of that section of the city.'

Two Bandits Get $3,000 from Bank in Newman Grove Lock Cashier and Assistant in Safety Vault and Escape Asked for Change at Closing Hour. Newman Grove, Neb., Aug. 7. Two young bandits robbed the New man Grove State bank just as it closed this afternoon, escaping with about three thousand dollars in cur rency and gold after locking two of ficers in a safe deposit vault. They are believed to have trav eled west in a green Auburn auto obile along the road to Albion. The men entered the bank at five minutes to four, asking change for a $5 bill. They ordered the cashier and assistant cashier to hold up their hands. They then had the front door closed, collected the funds in a flour sack, and left by the back door. Made to Lie on Floor. F. M. Juelson, cashier, and G. R. Peterson, his assistant, were in the bank at the time. The robbers wore overalls, work shirts, and gray felt hats, were of slender build and appeared to be about 30 years old, according to Peterson. As Peterson described the holdup, one of the men came to the second window, asking for change for a S5 bill. Then as the banker turned, he said, "Just a moment, stick 'em up." "I did and then they ordered me to lie on the floor," said Peterson. "They made Juelson put all the money in a bag, had him lock the front door and open the back one." Unable to Lock Vault Door. After some 20 minutes, he con tinued, the robbers ordered them into a safety deposit vault, where a gate .was closed, and locked on them. The robbers were unable to lock the outer door, which would have shut off the air, because the bolts were out and locked, Peterson said. A few minutes after, the bandits left, Peterson continued, they suc ceeded in opening the gate. He said the loss included all gold and cur rency in the bank, but that no silr ver was taken. According to George Gulru, presi dent of the bank, who jeturned from a trip to the country a few minutes later, the bandits must have had a car pjrked in the alley. He said the loss is covered by insurance. Sheriff C. S. Smith, Madison, came here to investigate. He traced the green Auburn as far as Bradish.
