German General Pagan Beliefs at
Anniversary Celebration ; Former
Kaiser Sends Message.
Tutzing,v Germany. Tlie third
rcich, of which he is an outsider by
his own choice, paid signal honors
to the doughty World war fighter,
Gen. Erich Ludendorff, on the occa
sion of his 70th birthday anniversary.
On every side an effort was made to
forget pa-r- quarrels. The former
kaiser sent a hand written message
cf congratulation. The former crown
prince, who for many , years had no
contact with the former quarter
master general, personally came to
Tutzing to felicitate the warrior.
Reichsfuehrer Adolf Hitler so far
swallowed his pride as to visit Luden
dorff before his birthday. He prob
ably would have come except for
Ludendorff's own action in refusing
the title of field marshal general and
emphasizing his anti-Christian posi
tion at a time when der furhrer is
trying his utmost to assure the
churches that his government is root
ed in Christianity. Gen. Werner Von
Fritsch, chief of staff, came person
ally to congratulate Ludendorff on
behalf of the nation's armed forces.
Laudatory articles about the soldier
were written all over the reich and
Hitler commanded that public build
ings display flags.
Despite all this effort to woo Lud
endorff, the uncompromising Prus
sian seemea to nave been unaware
of the word "diplomacy" which
makes other men on certain occasions
refrain from provocatively emphas
izing ideas to which his fellow men
take exception.
Standing on his veranda and os
tensibly replying to Von Blomberg's
warm words of tribute, but at the
same time eyeing his followers in
the garden below, the general reas
serted his anti-Christian beliefs.
He was a gallant figure in full dress
uniform with spiked helmet and dec
orations. His followers in the garden then
sang an anti-Catholic song, the re
frain of which goes: "Save our peo
ple from the power of the priests."

"Christ the Savior"
John 3:14-17; Rom. 5:6-10; Phil.
2:5-11.
No one ought to try to teach this
lesson who ha3 not had an intimate
acquaintance with Jesus Christ as
their personal Savior. No one can tell
another what a Savior is, except he
or slis has experienced the saving
power of the Savior; hence the teach
er must be a "saved" person, a true
branch en the living vine.
Jeaus was born to the end that "he
should save his people from their
sins." (Matt. 1:21). That was to be
his mission; that no one else could
do, except the Son cf God, and that
related to cur deepest need, namely,!
salvation from sin. In parabolic lan
guage this work cf Christ was re
ferred to in Numbers 21:5-9, and re
peated in Jchn 3:14-15, in the his
torical scene of the fiery serpents in
the ramp of Israel. As the saving
power wa3 in "look" upon the serpent,
to i3 the sinner saved by looking unto
Josus. "My faith looks up to thee."
The whole doctrine of salvation in
epitome in contained in John 3:14-17.
1 he whole process shows that the
antidote fcr sin i3 a sinless Christ,
the rcr.ult eternal life. "Believe" is
the keyword cf John's gospel occur
ing therein ninety-nine times. "Re
lieve" represents all the sinner can do
and all the sinner must do to be
caved. It i, believing tho record God
has given cf his son. So "must" the
Sen f-f Man- be lifted up. Vai this a
moral "must" which he could accept
or reject, or one that wa3 absolutely
unavoidable, even if he chose to es
cape it? "Eternal llfo i3 net merely
everlasting lire, which ha3 only a
time eicr.icjit characterizing it, but it
i.i tho very life that God possesses,
characterized by divir.c qualities a
life spent in the favor of God, in tho
presence cf God, in the image cr God,
and in the power of God cternally;'a
me mat will .satisfy the love of th
rather, tho love cf the Son, the lovo
of the Holy Ghost end the immortal
ity of man." (Markus Raincford).
"For Gcd eo loved the world." etc.
This verse layj bare the heart of Gcd.
We need not lock ar.yv.her2 else for a
better cr clearer t-itcmer.t, for there
is none. "He first loved lis." (I John
4:19). That prompted God to provido
a savicr for the race. The time wa3
ripe, the wcrld was expecting a mani
festation of some great phenomena
. . . "he came unto his own and hi?
own received him not." (John 1:11).
It must have grieved the loving Fath
er to see his gift rejected spurned
love. Cut the plan must bo carried
cut! There is a perishing race whet
if some do reject him, others will ac
cept him. God's purpose must and
will be accomplished. God "gave"
his son, implies the idea of sacrifice,
of love; shown by a moot precious of- k

ferir.g. Mankind was to be saved from
"perishing." This terrible word, "per
ish" is almost always forgotten, when
this beautiful verse is thought of, or
recited, but the real value of the en
tire declaration can never be discov
ered until' thi3vord is understood.
It means literally, to destroy, to ruin,
to go to pieces and the human race
was going fast in that direction. "God
did not send his son to judge the
world . . . but to be saved through
his son." The first advent of Christ
was not to judge the world, but to
bring salvation his second advent
will be for judgment (See Matt. 25:
.31-46).
as bavior, unrist brings to every
believer the consciousness that he is,
through his death, "justified." This
state is preceded by a judicial act of
God, wrhere a penitent sout pleads for
mercy, to be forgiven through the
mercy of Jesus Christ, whom the sin
ner accepts a3 his saviour, and the
Father for Christ's sake, pardons and
declares the sinner "free from the
law" justified. Peace with God fol
lows, which is not a state of mind,
but a relation to God. "To stand in
this grace is to be able to pass into
the presence of one of whom we are
unafraid, and know that there he will
be welcome." (G. Campbell Morgan)
The same love that filled the Fath
er's heart, who gave us his Son, is
shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy
Spirit; "In this the children of God
are; manifest." Fcr Jesus to become
the Saviour cf men, he had to become
a man himself, enter into tho same
relationship, take upon himself our
sorrow, cur grief, our transgression,
cur iniquities. Thu3 made an offer
ing for sin, he understands cur case.
He went down into "an horrible pit,
into the miry clay." (Ps. 40:2, 3)
and "Love lifted me," and set my feet
uf-a a. rocK anu estaimsneu my go
ing. That is exactly the kind of a
Saviour the world needed . . . "who
i..jr, tuiijiu'j:,a, niiueii.cu, separate
from sinners, and mado higher than
the heavens." The exaltation must
follow; Laving wrought a perfect sal
vation, that "Whosoever" will, can
be caved. God has rightly exalted him

Builds a Substantial Crib
Otto Ilcucechild, who resides some
fcur miles west of Avoca and i3 one
of the thorough and substantial farm
ers cf that vicinity, ha3 just completed
construction of a crib which i3 as
much an elevator as a crib, and is a
building that should last throughout
the years. The plate is twelve feet
and the studding 13 2xl2's set one
foot apart on a concrete foundation.
The joists are also 2xl2's, set one foot
apart and trussed in a very substan
tial manner. The upper joists are also
2xl2s set one foot apart. The floor
is of concrete and has an elevator in
side the crib, which make3 a very (sub
stantial and convenient structure. On
tho side of the building is a shed run
ning its entire length, which will af
ford storage space for wagons, trucks
and other farm implements. On the
opposite side is another shed cf the
same dimensions, with a concrete
floor for the feeding of hogs and Just
adjoining this is another shed with
a rough board floor on which tho
hoga can lie down in comfort after
they have eaten their fill. Mr. Ilorse
child believes that in taking the best
of care cf the hcg they will respond
with better and fuller development
and yield a greater return on tho cost
of their feeding.
The structure was to have cost ap
proximately $1,900, but it has cost
actually some more than that, a3 near
ly all buildings do. However, it is
built in most substantial fashion and
will last throughout the years.
