RAY GAMLIN
Murdock, Nebr.
Cass county. Nebraska, where the
father homesteaded four miles north
: of Elm wood, in 1S69, and where the
family experienced all the hardships
i known to the early settlers in Nebr
aska and played their part in that
I pioneer life.
On January 1, 1873. the deceased
1 was united i:i marriage to George E.
Buell. who preceded her in death on
November l". 1926.
: To this union three sons and three
daughters were born. Tv.o of the
daughters died in infancy. She leaves
i to mourn her departure, three suns.
; Frank E., Charlie M. and Fred B.. and
one daughter. Mrs. Minnie Rosenkoet
ter. all of Elm wood and vicinity. Also
one sister. Mrs. S. M. Cox. of Oregon
City. Oregon, and two brothers,
Gecrge B. Woodard. of Albany, Ore
gan. and James N. Woodard. of Coun
cil Bluffs, Iowa, and also seven grand
children and many near and dear
friends who cannot be numbered.
Tlrs. Buell joined the M. E. c hurch
! at an early age. She worshiped many
i years together with loved ones and
, friends at whet was known as the
; Center school house, located in their
immediate vicinity in those early
days. Later she transferred her mem
j bership to Murdock and a lew years
; atro to E'.mwood. where she proved
j as faithful and helpful as ever until
the final summons came and her
sweet, humble spirit left this teffipo
i rary house of clay and took its flight
! to the realms of eternal day.
Ten years ago she and her husband
! retired from the farm and moved to
Him wood to make their home, where
they lived peaceably and happily to
; get her five more years, making a total
of year of suecessful married life.
Their oneness of purpose and their
; continually striving together for one
great end made their home not only
a place of refuge and shelter, but a
place of comfort and happiness for
loved ones and friends.
The last five years were a bit more
lorely. But her children and her
many friends and especially her dear
! Lrrd and Savior proved to be her con
stant comfort and joy in whatever
"irr umstarces she found herself. Her
life was nat without the usual trou
bles and heartaches, but she bore
i them bravely without complaint or
bitterness. She was always fairly
well. She never suffered severely or
1 loner at any one time. The evening
i of January 4th last, while on her way
I to churc h. she was hit by a passing
automobile one block west of her
home in Elm wood and was severely
bruised. In four or five weeks she
had sufficiently recovered to be up,
when thinsrs seemed suddenly to have
taken a turn for the worse.
During the past few weeks she
was tenderly and lovingly cared for
j at the home of her son Fred, by her
I children, who were all at her bedside
at the time of her death.
I She will be greatly missed by her
I leved ones and her friends. Her life
; hoa been lived. Her useful earthly
i life is ended. She kept the faith, she
finished the course and there awaits
! her and every one who finishes the
: course in faith and obedience, the
crown of everlasting life. It is for US
I to take up the task that she and other
pre' ious ones have so nobly begun.
The funeral Services were he'd on
Tuesday afternoon, March 3rd. at
' the Methodist church in Elm wood.
! F.ev. ,T. A. Klein delivered the sermon
and Rev. Chas. Lewien offered pray
' ST. The interment was made at the
Wabash cemetery.
"Elie City Four Square" was sung
by Mrs. Opal Clements. Misses Ethel

! Uy, "Ivory Palaces." was sung by
Misses Ethel and Pearl Coatman. Mrs.

Parables of Jesus
in
WHEAT AND TARES. (Math.
13:
2 4-.10 t.
tills parable starts out with sow
ing, like the first, but points out a
different side of the Kingdom. In the
first parable, we find that the field
is the world: here it is the church on
"arth. It is thUB regarded as a vis
ible society embracing good and evil.
This parable is one of the greatest,
ti est characteristic and most fruit
ful. In it Christ looked from the
i present into the distant future. He
; toresaw that scandal und offenses
; would soon arise, which would cause
great searchings of heart: the denial
of Peter: the treachery of Judas; the
deceit of Ananias, the quarrels among
the Apostles, the parties in the
church, the sensuality of the Corin
thiaiib. the treachery of false breth
ren and false teachers, the falling
away of some, the love of others wai
ing, growing cold; and looking fur
ther over the later history of His
church. He saw a sadening picture
of low morality, low ideals, avarice.
Hinidtiun. dissent inn and seeming
failure. And therefore He warned
His disciples beforehand that thus it
must be, that in the visible church
the evil must ever be mixed with the
good and that earnest men. must not
lose heart nor be Impatient because
they cannot make the church as pure
as they would have It. The parable
is interesting fruni the light it throws
upon our Lord's person. He is the
chief character throughout and is en
dowed with divine attributes. He is
the householder, the sower of the
I ::eed,
the antagonist of Satan, the
Lord of the world. The angels are
His ministers and do His bidding. In
the kingdom of heaven He is the king
and has the power to doom to heaven
; and hell. The field belongs to Christ;
the seed is His word; the enemy is
; the devil: tlu tares, see Math. 15:19.
While men slept this detail may in
dicate the subtlety of the evil one in
introducing evil into the church in
ways that cannot he traced. The
tares in the church are no evidence
thai the church has no good founda
tion, but that she has an enemy that
h.a'es her. Were it not so. he would
! not molet her. The wonder is that
the church has survived in spite of
all the devil has done to destroy her.
We have one great consolation, that
the tares will not destroy the wheat.
, As the servants see the tares among
the wheat, they become very solici
tous for the harvest, and we are glad
that they asked the Lord before they
went and gathered the tares. Had the
; church a' all times asked the Lord
' first, taking their troubles to him In
i payer, we surely wot, Id not have the
I many chisma and denominations in
! he world. No sooner has a number
1 of men started a new church and set
i up her machinery, than there are
' found tares sprouting and in so
I many years, another church is start
led: hence the seventeen kinds of
Methodists, eighteen different bodies
' of Lutherans, etc-. Men make serious
. mistake;; when they attempt to re
j movethe tares: that is the one thing
. that the Lord will do himself, using
i the a:. gels as helpers.
There and at that: time the just
Go . will m-?ie out to everyone his due
portion. In this world it is passible
! for God to change tares into wheat.
' This is the work of the Holy Spirit,
who will reprove men of sin. of right
eonsnesa and of judgment. He will
show men the way to God. work re
prntence. a goodly sorrow for sin and
bring salvation in Christ Jesus to the
sin sick soul and bring peace and joy

. thtir spirit that they are the child

"WHY GO TO CHURCH ?"
You ask me why I go to church!
1 give my mind a careful search
Because I need to breathe the air
Where there's an atmo-nhcre of

I need the hymns the churches sing
They set my faith and hope a

Because niv neighbor needs to
His faith in right is rattier low.
He needs the church to hold him fast
To those great truths that always

And when he seer, me on my way.
It draws him to the church to pray.
And both our hearts arc lifted up
To heavenly places where we sup
Because my boy is watching me
To note whatever he can see
That tells him what his father think I,
And with his eagei soul he drink.

The things I say in daily talk:
If I with him the church will share
My son will make his friendships
