This was a marvelous church accord ing to the wonderful letter Paul wrote them, when imprisoned in Rome. But as with many christians, they Htart out well, are active in the cause of Christ, run well for a time, but alas when things do not go to their liking they begin to lose interest, their ardor cools off, they fall be hind, their enthusiasm is gone, their "first love is lost." Rev. 2. 4. This is a deplorable condition. The church at Ephesus lost out But the merciful Ood offers a rem edy, the backslider can start all over again, repent, "do the first works." God gives them another chance. Bet ter to start all over, ten times, than to give up.

Located in a strategic position, for the early missionaries, it rose tC a high place, being the first letter that John wrote to the seven churches in Asia Minor. Rev. 2. ". The city became prominent through labor troubles tfl depicted in Act. 10. Some craft began to suffer, when Paul preached with great success; people began to change their lives; they gave up their heathen customs of idol worship, which aroused the ire of the Silversmiths. Demitrius. having a monopoly on the trade start ed a great movement against Paul, he called a mass meeting of the trade, and in an impasslonate speech incited the people, and stirred them up. until he himself could not con trol the mob spir't, for two hours they cried: "Great is Diana of the Ephesians." Diana was the Goddess of the Ephesians. a temple was buili for her. This was considered one of the seven wonders of the world, and riplicas of this temple were manu factured of silver and bought by th-; people, which was a very profitable business, and when the people wer-? converted to Christianity, they had no further use for them. The town In 1S93. when the success of the reindeer importation of Dr. Jackson, was assured. Congress charged the In terior Department with the education of the Eskimo and the distribution of the reindeer and made an appropria tion. Laplanders or Lapps as they are called, were brought to Alaska from Europe where for hundreds of years tame reindeer have furnished the Lapps with fcod.clothing and has been his means of transportation. These Lapps were to teach the Eskimo to raise and care for reindeer. First reindeer were distributed to missions and earned from the mis sions by apprenticeship. The Eskimo worked a year for six reindeer, a sec ond year for eight more and at the end of the third year he received ten more. At the end of the fourth year he assumed entire charge of his herd now numbering thirty-fcur reindeer and agreed to employ and distribute reindeer among his appren tices. By 1917 fifteen hundred sixty eight Eskimo families owned rein deer and now seventy per cent of the six hundred or more reindeer in Alas ka are owned by the Eskimos. In a generation the reindeer indus try advanced the Eskimo through the entire stage of civilization. Raised him from the primitive to the pas toral stage, from nomadic hunters to civilized men having in their rein deer assured support for themselves and an opportunity to acquire wealth. This is the earliest and perhaps only governmental action provided by introducing a new industry, practi cal, vocational, training adapted to community needs and resulting in training a primitive race into inde pendence and responsible citizenship. Santa will be in Plattsmouth with his reindeers. Watch fcr the date.
