BANKER KILLS SELF f Bible School Lesson Study! Su uday, August 25th By L. Neitzel, Mnrdock. Neb. "Barnabas" (A Consecrated Man of Means Acts 4:36, 37; 14:19-30. The subject of our lesson is a many sided character; a very earnest, lib eral christian who consecrated his means to the church, full of the Holy Spirit and Faith, a man of good judg ment. Born on the isle of -yprus, ,ho probably studied with Saul .at Tar sus, where he got to know him, and could later vouch for him. - His-sis-ter was the mother of John Mark. His name first in call for foreign missions. "Barnabas and Saul." Un doubtedly a single man, like Saul. His life and record is unblemished until near the close of his life, of which Paul gives us a wierd picture, showing thereby that no one is so sure but that he might fall. But Barnabas , is a model follower oi Jesu3 and his life worthy of emu lsion. As a Levite he would have no possessions, only by inheritance or Luying. When he was converted to Christianity, the whole man and all he had was consecrated to Christ; ai'd when he saw the need of the church, did not hesitate to sell out and give all. If all professed Chris tians possessed that spirit, there would be no lack of money in the church's treasury. Barnabas was a man of generosity; not only did he give much, but that much v. as his all. How can we ex plain this act of his? Easy enough he was full of the Holy Ghost and faith the spirit of Christ who like wise had given his all. The episcde narrated in Chapter 11 is worthy of our closest attention and study, for it tells of the spread of the gospel. The martyrdom of Stephen Avas the direct cause of the scattering of the church at Jerusalem. The blood of the martyrs always was the seed of the church. Band3 of christians traveled about as far as Phoenicia, Cyprus and Antioch, but only preaching to the Jews. A few of these traveling preachers were big hearted enough to believe that others besides the Jews should share the joy of salvation by faith in Christ and spoke to the Greeks, and behold, the Lord sanctioned the act, and a great revival was the result. Would thu same method have the same results today? Thi3 was the second door opened to the Gentiles. Where was the first? It is to be noticed that no one person is mentioned as the out standing preacher in Antioch up to this time.. We do not know, we can not even suggest a possibility as to the founder of the church. Jerusalem hears about this great good news and to get a true report, Barnabas, who has the confidence of the church, is delegated to investigate and report back. A better choice could not have been made; because he "was (this written after his death by Luke)" a" good man and full of the Holy Spirit and faith" he was the kind of a man who could be relied upon; the Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Moore, of York. former Union citizens, were visiting here last Sunday, driving over from their home at York enjoying the re newal of acquaintance with old time friends of this vicinity. Mr. Moore is doing well in the drug store business at York. The Misses Ardith Martin and Edith Foster, accompanied by their mothers, Mesaames R. E. Foster and Ben Martin, the latter of Nebraska City, were visiting in Omaha a few days since, visiting at the St. Joseph hospital and the Van Sant and Boyles report would be correct. This man of g-ood judgment soon discovered that the work had all the earmarks of a work wrought by the grace of God, and he was exceedingly glad.

That's why you must have oil that maintains high film strength under extreme tem peratures to get safe lubrication. Otherwise, the lubricating film ruptures and the bearings and cylinders suffer damaging wear. . Plain mineral oils have little film strength and oils over-refined by new cleansing meth ods have even less. As motor heat goes up, these oils rapidly lose film strength. You'll get better motor protection with Conoco Germ Processed Motor Oil. Tin?ken machine tests prove that it has 2 to -4 times greater film strength than any plain mineral oil and that heat above 225 does not lessen this advantage. More proof-supervised road tests were made in identical cars fitted with the new alloy metal bearings used in many 1935 cars. The bearings lubricated with a high-quality plain mineral oil showed 45 more wear than those lubricated with Conoco Germ Processed, the first alloyed oil.

A little later this incident was the cause of separation between Paul and Barnabas, but even this was for the furtherance of the Gospel, be cause instead of one team, there were now two. (See Acts 1536-41). It is sad to re:ato Uiat these men of God should show an outbreak of human infirmity, which came to pass when Paul intended to start on his second Missionary journey, inviting Barnabas to accompany him. This the latter was willing to do, provided Paul would take John Mark along. But Paul positively refused to do so. There is considerable disagreement among students of the early church history as to who was right in this sad affair. It is also sad to relate that Barnabas was accused by Paul of hypocricy (See Gal. 2:13). And still we believe that it was a momentary weakness, overcome in the tempta tion. A warning to every follower of Jesus to pray: "Lead us not into temptation." Ask the Saviour to help you, comfort, strengthen and keep you. He is willing to aid you; He will carry ycu through. Spent Sunday Near Greenwood Frank and Anna Bauer, accompan ied by the three granddaughters, en joyed a visit at the home of Pete Shrader, near Greenwood, last Sun day, driving over in hte morning and spending the day there. They found things somewhat drier in the west part of the county than here, but if rains como during the present week, the corn will still receive a great deal of benefit. The little girls will have to depart .soon for their home in the south, a3 school will be opening in a couple of weeks, bringing to a close their very pleasant vacation.

The Sidney show, from a small beginning, has grown into one of the largest home town owned and conducted amusement en terprises in the middle we3t, bigger and better eachyear. Cooked Breakfast Outdoors Miss Ardith Martin, of Nebraska City, was a visitor in Union over the week end, being a guest while here of her two young lady friends, Mis3es Gwen Stites and Edith Foster. The young ladies, with Misses Betty Up ton and Louise Foster enjoyed a slum ber party at the Stites home Saturday night and early Suuday morning re paired to Kamp Kill Kare, where they prepared their breakfast and Had an Enjoyable Time Arthur Evans and family, of near Glenwood, Iowa, were guests for the day last Sunday at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Phil F- Rihn, where all en joyed a very fine visit. The two famil ies have been friends for many years. In company with the family of Ralph Pearsley, the visitors and Mr. and Mrs. Rihn enjoyed a picnic party and supper at the Larsch home east of town, where Mr. Larsch has recently made some worthwhile improvements on his . picnic and entertainment grounds. ing station here and while gas was being placed in the tank, the driver asked the road to Lincoln and Seward and also made inquiry about the town and folks he had known when living here.

After a brief chat, he started out for Seward, de-j daring the town looks a lot different than it did thirty j'ears ago, and it surely does, for the passing years have brought many changes. and wife, as well as a number of other former Union citizens who are mak ing their home in the "mile high" city of the west. Enjoyed Picnic at Louisville Lans Sand and family and Eernard Gude and family, of Nebraska City, together with q. E. Morris and fam ily, of Union, journeyed to Louisville last Sunday, where they were joined by the Silas Mprris family of that place and repaired to the lakes of the state recreation grounds, where they picnicked for the day, went swimming and otherwise had a splendid time.

Under the able instruction of Chas. E. McCarthey, the boys have made some very good progress. An exhibi tion of their work is on display in the window of the Morris grocery store and a' look, at it will convince you that the boys are really learning how to tie knots. Departed for the West Last Friday-the family of Henry H. Becker departed for the west, ex pecting to spend a month there and will see the country from the vant age point oC a deck on their truck, which they have transferred into a traveling home. They, are expecting to see a large "number of states and are prepared to eat, cook and sleep in the truck, which provides ample room for all. 7 Mrs. James C. Roddy accompanied them as far as Denver, where she expects to visit her son Traded Bull for Tractor Henry H. Becker had a bull he did not want and Loy Hathaway a Farm all tractor he did not need and so the two got together and arranged a trade repeating the familiar words among boys of a generation ago, "Red leath er, Trade Forever!" Presto, the trade was made, and each man has some thing he wanted more than what he had before ed a long time to get well. It would seem that this family are having their full share of injuries and trouble. MEMORIAL TO WILL ROGERS Met with Severe Injuries While Fred Tigner, the road work er, was returning home last Saturday evening about six o'clock, he was given a lift in the car of Wilmar Mar tin. As they were proceeding along towards town, a car in front of them stopped to pick up a pedestrian and as the car of Mr. Martin turned out to go around the other vehicle it failed to completely clear as it should and sideswiped the other car. As Mr Tigner was sitting on the side next to the other car, his arm resting on the car door opening, it (was caught in such manner as to crush It badly, causing three fractures. Each of the bones of the forearm was broken and the bone of the upper portion of the arm was also badly fractured, a small section even being broken from 'the large bone. Dr. Anderson rendered first aid and the patient .was hurried to Nebraska City, where the fractures were reduc ed, at the hospital, Mr. Tigner being made as comfortable as possible un der- the circumstances. At latest re ports,-he is resting some better but is suffering a good deal from the shock and injury. It was just seven mouths ago to a day that his wife suffered the frac ture of one of her legs, which requir- Hollywood. Plans were laid for a permanent memorial here to Will Rogers. . Altho arrangements for the funeral depend on the wishes of the actor-philosopher's family, assurance was given that widespread tribute would be paid to him thruous Holly wood and Los Angeles. In Beverly Hills, where Rogers was once mayor, a committee was selected to arrange memorial services and prepar a per manent symbol of the esteem in which Rogers was held. This will take the form, said the committee, of some thing such as a fountain, grove of trees, or a chapel.
