"The Christian Standard cf Life"
Eph. 4:17-27; 5:15-21.
This is one lesson on which there
will be much disagreement. Stand
ards established rules or models
differ with times, peoples, countries
ana opinions. In the world there is
no fast rule possible; changes tak4'
place in our economic, social and po
litical life, and we adjust our stand
ard to the prevailing conditions and
times in which we live.
In the Kingdom of God no such
changes take place. One rule for all,
e.nc standard for rich and poor alike.
The heathen world in Paul's time had
a different standard than the one es
tablished by Jesus. The Sermon on
the Mount (Matt. 5, 6, 7) is the dec
laration of principles laid down by
the Son of God for all times, for all
his followers; they have never been
Emended; noee ever repealed; they
fit all people, &11 conditions, all cir
cumstances. If lived up to, there
wcuid he no war, no courts needed,
no jails, no penitentiaries; there
would be no divorces, no strikes, no
lab-:;- trouble''. As men would live
according to the "Golden rule" (Matt.
7:12) tl.;.; earth would he the anti
cl. amber of heaven. There would be
r.o such thins as the liquor question,
r.o drinking, r.o drunkards a happy,
contented people, each working for
the good of hi-; neighbor loving him
a-s himself. Put let us look at the
pbture as revealed in Romans 1:1S
32. (The teacher will fix this picture
in hii m:'".d.) With this picture in
his mind, Paul wrote this cpi-tle.
Bishop 11. C. C. Motile says: "The
Epistle to the Ephesians is one of the
eiivinest compositions cf man. It em
b:a':cs every doctrine cf Christianity
first, tho:-:e doctrines peculiar to
Christianity, and then those precepts
common to it with natural religion."
The followers of Jesus have boon re
born, they have changed their stand
ard of life they passed from' death
nr. to life once blind, now they see
ence aliens, now children but taking
account of the fickleness and frailty
of men, Paul finds it necessary to
sound a note cf warning and to ex
hort the church at Ephesus to remem
ber whence they came, that they
!must live up to the higher standard
than the Gentiles, or they become a
hindrance to the growth of the
church. Here lies the main cause of
the decadence cf the church the
mass of her members do not live up
to the Christian standard; they do
curse and swear, they carouse and
patronize beer joints, ieut and heat
their neighbors and men in business.
It is time that Paul speak out as in
the lesson: "Walk no longer as the
Gentiles." It takes courage for a
preacher and teicher to tc!l the!
church about her backsliding, and'
lead them back to God. j

whole counsel of God." which cannot
be said of all preachers; too many
are afraid they might offend some,
and do not say like the prophet of
old: "Thou art the man!" What good
is our preaching and teaching if we
cfo'not "bring in the sheaves? .A mere
waste of time and energy!
Paul could say: "But ye did not
so learn Christ." This peculiar ex
pression "learn Christ" denotes not
merely receiving a doctrine about
Christ, but becoming acquainted with
Jesus himself. These converted heath
en h?.d a wrong conception of Chris
tian "liberty," and conceived of it as
license, just as modern "liberals" try
to reconcile with Christianity their
use cf intoxicants and patronage of
bootleggers and speakeasies.
Not so the true Christian! lie did
not so learn the truth that is in
Christ. To "learn Christ" implies to
study his life and teachings and in
corporate them in our every existence.
No one who has so learned Christ will
befoul his spirit with drunkenness.
The true Christian will put away the
"eld man" former habits, and "put
cn the new." How shall we become
new men? The true answer was given
long ago: "Repent and become as lit
tle children." Shut the door of your
heart against the devil.
"Keep busy for God" is the best
sort cf motto a man can have. Satan
finds work for idle hands. Busy
churches will destroy the saloons.
The Christian is exhorted, to walk
carefuliy. They are net to grieve the
Holy Spirit, by bitterness, anger and
malice but put in their place kind
ness, forgiveness in short, they are
to imitate God, in all his loving fath
erhood. The exhortations in the clos
ing verses are especially noteworthy.
"Redeeming the time," it is short,
fleeting, never returns me it don't
idle
bad
it av::y don't kill time. Paul

v. rcts this. These days come to all
heme it is well to be prepared to
meet them with grace to endure and
stand firm.
The spirit-filled scul will testify to
the goodness of God the opposite cf
the one "drunk with wine." Their
e nver. at'.on will be of things that
tolovify God, elovate their own soul,
encourage and lift ethers to a higher
plane. "Giving thanks" is one c the
chrractcrlstics cf a Christian. A cheer
ful face, a contented mind, a grateful
heart belongs to those who give their
ccnfider.ee and Live and loyal service
to the Lord Jesus Christ.
The Christian's standard of life
may well be epitomized in the follow
ing terse verso:
"I have mndc my choice to Tol
loW Christ each day;
I am thine for service. Lord;
As thy voice shall bid me, I
will go or stay,
I am thine or service Lord."
THE GOVERNORSHIP
The Seward" independent recently
published a character sketch of Roy
Cochran, the democratic candidate
for governor.
The contest between Mr. Cochran
and Mr. Griswold, the republican
candidate, has now progressed suffi
ciently to enable any independent
minded voter to strike a balance and
to make his choice.
At the beginning of the campaign
it was announced if correctly re
membered, by both parties that
Messrs. Cochian and Griswold were
personal friends, were college mates
at the University of Nebraska, and
were members of the same college
fraternity. In a general way public
opinion regards both men very high
ly. Indeed both of them are men of
excellent character. For the first
few weeks . the campaign proceeded
on conservative lines. Then came
the debates. These are a thorough
test of ideals. Observant readers are
given an opportunity more closely to
guage the respective standards ol
principles, the purposes in mind, and
the methods of appeal, on the part
of each.
As it measures the presentations
of each, and the objectives of each
whether it measures correctly or
erroneously The Independent can
not otherwise than decide in favor
of Mr. Cochran. As its readers well
know the paper is striving to serve
its community, and region, and state,
along economic rather than along
partisanship lines. Good and clean
government and sound economics are
placed above party success.
Both candidates have a Nebraska;
public service record.
Mr. Griswold's service has been
in the house and senate. Some of
Mr. Griswold's partisan opponents
point to his promotion in 1021 of
the so-called Foreign Language bill
prohibiting the teaching of any
other than the English language;)
that he voted for the largest appro-!
priation bill the state has ever known
$18,534,239, while McKelvie was
governor; that in 1925 he intro
duced a bill to disfranchise all citi
zens who could not read and write
the English language; that he fath
ered the "pint of liquor" law, etc.
But these tendencies of the past are
not of the potency, in the reaching
of this paper's decision, as are some
of the recent misrepresentations of'
his opponent by Mr. Griswold J
maue .timei iuruiiu iiKsiuioijiiaiiuu 1
or a use of what has apparently be
come a' "politicians' licor.se"..' 'to re
peat charges that have been chal
lenged without providing proof that
they are true.
The Independent knows that Mr.
Cochran is not Governor Bryan's
candidate Mr. Griswold repeats the
charges; it knows that the state
federal relief work is not being ad
ministered cn partisan lines by Gov
ernor Bryan, or another person con
nected with its state administration;!
it knows that Mr. Cochran did not j
hold back the Sutherland project J
yet Mr. Griswold made these charges
in western Nebraska. Mr. Griswold's
appeal to "clean out" the state house
indicts good democratic officials
Auditor Price, Secretary of State
Swanson, Tax Commissioner Smith
for instance. Such action would be
in the interests of political machine
building but not in the interest of
faithful and efficient service to the
public. Mr. Cochran has also been
though not by Mr. Griswold
falsely accused , of being a "powei
trust" candidate. It is a ridiculously
false charge.
The campaign has, on the other
hand, disclosed that Roy Cochran
has not made a "promising" cam
paign further than the public should
consider his past record and his
pledge: That he will give to the
people the best that is in him! It is
a promise made in all sincerity. He
has pledged adherence to his party's
national platform pledge for the re
peal of prohibition, which includes
"the enactment cf such measures as
will actually promote temperance
effectively prevent the return of the
saloon, and bring the liquor traflic
into the open under complete super
vision and control by the state.'
The ether day a tribute was paid
to Roy Cochran's public service that
should be remembered by the citizens
who want efficient administration
rather than political-machine-building.
Prof. Carl M. Duff, instructor
of applied mechanics at the State
University, in addressing an assem
bly consisting exclusively of scient
ists not interested at the time in
politics, said:
Considering the amount of
money spent, Nebraska has the
finest system of highways of any
state of the union. The state
can well be proud of its high
way system.
It was under Roy Cochran's direc
tion that this system was built.
The Independent confidently be
lieves that, if elected, Mr. Cochran
will carry that same efficiency, that
same business integrity, into all state!
affairs. Grand Island Independent, j

TRY TO PREVENT BOYCOTT
Chicago. L. Zahne, New York
real estate man, and member of (he
national committee; of the Dawa, told
the Chicago unit its ch::f purpose is
to "prevent the United States from
becoming a nation of boycotters."
Dawa is a combination of initial let
ters for the German words which
mean in r-nglioh German-American
Economic league, and since its es
tablishment ten months ago the
league has devoted itself to creating
antidote to the boycott establish
ed against German goods, he said.
"We feci," he said, "that it is a
dangerous precedent to allow a min
ority group to establish a boycott
ainst a powerful country like Ger
many. It could lead to the utmost
economic confusion. Suppose some
other fellow with a. grudge against
another country would launch an
other boycott and still another. It
could be disastrous."
