CHILDREN
CHILDREN will fret, often for no
apparent reason. But there's always
Castoria! As harmless as the recipe
on the wrapper; mild and bland as it
tastes. But its gentle action soothes a
a youngster more surely than a more
powerful mcdicine.
That's the beauty of this special
children's remedy! It may be given the
tiniest infant as often as there is
need. In cases of colic, diarrhea or
similar disturbance, it is invaluable.
A coated tongue calls for just a few drops
to ward off constipation; so does any
suggestion of bad breath. Whenever
children don't eat well, don't rest well,
or have any little upset this pure
vegetable preparation is usually all
that's needed.

anywhere, where there is work and
responsibility.

Parables of Jesus.
By L. Xeitzel.
"THE TWO SONS."
Math. 21:28-32.
It is astonishing what manifold
ways Jesus used to explain His King
dom. It would ceem no one could
nv-sunder.suad Him- At times He
plead! with men. another time He
will reason with men, again He will j
rebuke them, because they will not
believe, then there is a class of men.
who throws all counsel and admon
ition in the discard, and will not
do God's will, others seem willing
to serve God. Jesus by a parable
states the case, so that there can be
no misunderstanding In the mind
of His hearers. God is pictured Ion
as a father, who loves the two soiib
with an equal love. They must have
been grown up children, because the
work he expects them to do, is no
child's work. This call to work came
with John the Baptist. His preach
ing was heard by great multitudes.
The effect of his preaching was re
markable, it gripped the masses of
common people, they confessed their
sins and received the baptism of
John, symbolizing the washing away
of their sins, and acceptance by Gad
as willing to comply with God's de
mand to accept Jesus Christ, who
was to come and bring the message
for "God so loved the world, thai He
gave His only begotten son." But
when the Pharisees and Sadducees
came to the baptism of John. Their
lives were such, that JoTiu compares
them with vipers.
It is remarkable how people will
deceive themselves, by observing t'i
outer form of religion, without any
spiritual life, observing the cen
monies of a lifeless service, not feel
ing and knowing the joy of meeting
their Lord, like the disciples on the
mount of transfiguration, who t ried
out in the eastasy of Joy: "Mastei
it is good for us to be here!"
The truly pehtetent are conscious
of their shortcomings, they acknow
ledge their sons, confess them, re
ceive the pardon and enter into the
service of their Lord with joy. They
take up the work in the vineyard
and enjoy the work. God was still
holding mercies door open, thai
they might enter. There is only one
way whereby man can t Into har
mony with God, to confess his sin.
believe in His son. Jesus Christ, and
receive the baptism of the Holy
Ghost, than he will be adopted into
the family of God's children, and be
come an heir of eternal life.
It should be the aim and purpose
to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ '
and become more efficient in doing
this work and to seek for opportuni- i
ties in doing work for the Master, j
In my visitations to the various i
towns each Sunday 1 find three towns .
that have no preaching service, tv
of them none at all, one only once
every two weeks at night. There is
the little town of Manley, five or
six devoted woman keep a hunday
school going of some 25 to 30 child-
ren. They have a good church build
ing but never a preacher goes near t
them. Three weeks ago I notified
them that I would be there the next
Sunday. They invited their friends
and 1 spoke to the Sunday school ami
gave an address to the people 1
would not call it preaching! which
was well received. I was invited to
come back, which I promised.
Then there is the beautiful town
of Cedar Creek, witn a nice church
building and a number Of! loyal
workers for Christ, that do a good
work in holding the fort for Chris,. ,
a good live Sunday school of some
30 or 40 children, but no assistance
of men. Preaching every other Sun- I
day evening by Rev. McClUsky from
Plattsmouth. I assisted there in the
Sunday school and as Mrs. A. O. Ault
had invited a number of friends, we
had a fine congregation, with a real
live spiritual service. There were
some 50 present. I will i- bach I
and give them another service. And
there is South Bend, with a good
church building, but no Sunday
school and no service of any kind.
Here is work for all who wish.
I would make a few suggestions.
Most of our churches get more
preaching than necessary, they could
easily sacrifice a Sunday service once
in awhile, and give the mentioned
places regular morning service, with
out charging them. Could not a
gospel team b eorganized among the
laymen to go with the pastor and
assist In the service. That would
greatly encourage these faithful
women, and might result In arousing
an interest in their citizens to sup
port these Sunday schools with their
presents and also financially. Think
of these things.

They stopped the auto of the city

but his wife grabbed the keys. One
then held up another car just be
hind the first, and compelled the
driver to take him to the river bot
toms near the Blair bridge, where
the driver headed it into si blind road

again, having abandoned his part

Early this morning this man
is believed to nave swum tne

he saw a man come out of the
water about 150 yards below the
east end of the- bridge and enter
the brush. The tollkeeper also
said he heard something In the
water just below the toll house
which might have been a man
swimming, but he saw nothing.
A guard was stationed with a
machine gun at the east end of
the bridge, and posses were beat

lights into it on the Iowa side.
Meanwhile every man in Blair
who could get a weapon of any
kind was patrolling the streets

by his partner.
Earlier in the day a man believed
to be Banning had asked tit two Blair
residences to be directed to a church
whieh does not exist in Blair. It
suspected he was really looking for
a chance to rob a home of food and
clothing and possibly weapons.
About 10:30 o'clock Friday night
two men leaped upon the running
boards of the auto driven by City
Clerk Clifford Krauee of Blair, and
commanded him 'to stop. One brand

khaki unionalls. The other wore a

tan shoes. Neither had a hat or coat.

topped instinctively, and the man
with the gun climbed into the rear

man who had the hammer, and in
so doing let go of the wheel, and
the ear climbed the curb and ran
into the schoolyard and stopped.
The two bandits then began to
argue between themselves whether
to take the car from the Krauses
or compel the couple to go with them.
Krause offered to go. he said later,
if they would let his wife out. The
men seemed to find it hard to de

Finally the man outside opened
the door for Mrs. Krause to get out.
Krause pushed her out. Dot as he
did so she took the auto keys with
her, unnoticed by the bandits.
