PLAYS IN REHEARSAL Rehearsals arc being held almost nightly at the high school, of the two plays to be presented by the Win tersteen Hill P. T. A. on Tuesday, November 26th. Two strong casts have been se lcted from among Platismouth's ar ray of lo.al stage talent to feature this new idea in local stage presen tations, that of a double feature or twin bill program. In "Dumb Dora." a farce comedy built around the antics of a servant girl of Scandinavian descent are: Edna Herring, who plays the servant girl; Clement Woster, cast as her em ployer "Mr. Hartsall,"; Til Olson, as "Mrs. Hartsall"; Mary Swatek. as "Arline," their daughter, and Chris Bulin, who plays "Arline's" suitor. Previews of the comedy indicate that laughs in all languages, includ ing the Scandinavian, will be ram pant. The closing half of the show, which will follow a group of specialties in vaudeville style, will be entirely dif ferent in dramatic type from the first play, and i3 entitled "The Val iant," an episode built around the last minutes in the life of a man condemned to die on the gallows. Greth Garnctt will play the prisoner. Bible School Sunday, November 24th ''The Message of Kag-gai and Zachariah" Two new characters are introduced to us. Haggai, meaning "my feast," and Zechariah, meaning "Jehcrrah re members." Nothing positive is known of their ancestry nor their early life, only that they were called for a specific work, to encourage the re building of the second temple, which was done after the return from exile, 530-516 B. C. For details of the re turn, rebuilding of the walls of Je rusalem and the beginning of rebuild ing of the temple and the hindrances and discouragements, we must study the books or Ezra and Nehimiah; the S4th Psalm finds its place here. The builders of this temple are Zerubbabel and Joshua, very prominent among the Jews. The foundation is laid but the money brought from Babylon gives out the work lags then it stops entirely. At this juncture an epoch-making incident occurs. The Samaritans came with a request to be allowed to help build the temple. This was refused. (The Samaritans consisted of the de scendants of the Israelites who had escaped the captivity of the northern kingdom, and of foreign colonists who had been brought in first by Sargon, men of Babylon, Cuthah, Avva, Har math and Sepharphain (II Kings 17: 21) and by Esar-haddon (Ezra 4:2). Had the request been granted it would have utterly destroyed the original purpose and the future success of such an undertaking. Undoubtedly nany of these had become intermixed v.iths Assyrian Colonists. From that time on, throughout the remaining history of Israel and into the N. T., to the destruction of Jeru salem, the Jews and Samaritans were enemies. (See John 4:3). For fur ther light, see Ezra 4:1-24. Every undertaking for good ha3 its enemies who seek to hinder. Now tonics the messenger of Jehovah, with a stirring message to the weary and discouraged Jew3. Kaggai is the first prophet of the post-captivity period, an old man, sup posed to have been born in captivity and returned from Babylon. His work was finished within two years. It was his supreme mission to arouse the Jews to rebuild the temple of Solo mon. No prophet ever preached more directly or more earnestly nor was ever a prophet more successful. The message of the prophet was to be de livered to Zerubbabel, the governor, and Joshua the high priest. The lagging of the building wasjner, as well as the master builder, condemned. They were careful to The exceeding magnificence of the have good homes, but cared not for spiritual glory of this mysri:ril tem the sanctuary. It is so in this day pie will not be manifested until at many a church is in a shabby, neg- j the glorious appearing of our Lord, lected condition, while the members Jesus Christ, and Christ is forever Jive in mansions.

Ber neice Wieland plays the only fem inine role in the play, that of a girl seeking to identify the prisoner as her long-lost brother.

SOCIAL WORKERS FLOWER CLUB On Wednesday afternoon the So cial Workers Flower club met at the home of Mrs. Mike Kaffenberger, w ith Mrs. Albert Wheeler and Mrs. Walter Martin assisting hostesses.

The Decem ber meeting will be the annual Christmas party, to be given at the home of Mrs. Chas. Manners on De cember 11. Lesson Study! By L. Neitzel, Murdock, Neb. Much want and misery exists in the world because men will not ac knowledge and serve God. Verse 7 corroborates this statement. The ad monition is for men to "consider their ways" stop and put God's yard stick to their actions and see how near they come to fulfilling Deut. 6:4-9. Now God says, through the proph et, "Get busy, get material and build" and I will do my part if they would trust him. The silver and gold are his, and he will provide the means. If men would serve God in the beauty of holiness, our tdoubles would soon disappear, the "depression" would be a myth in fact, it would never have happened. The promise that the glory of this house shall be greater than the first temple if this passage is to be a lit eral fulfilment, it must be in a temple yet to be built would it point to the temple described in Eph. 2:20-22? Even Herod's temple did not excel in splendor and costliness the temple of Solomon. Assurance is given to Zerubbabel that the building would be completed; but the regeneration of Israel would and the new birth of the nation could and would not be brought about by "might or power, but by the Holy Spirit" who works unobserved, quietly, like a leaven, but produces results. A revival cannot be produced by artificial means, not even by an evan gelist, to which churches often re sort; hence the failures. Only the spirit of God can bring life into the spiritually dead (Ezek. 37:1-14). As surance is given Zerubbabel that all the obstacles, even if they were like mountains, would disappear. Even in Pilgrim's Progress, the lions that Christian saw ahead in the way, which frightened him, were found to be chained and could only go so far. So are oft our troubles "take them to the Lord in prayer" and they may even be turned into a blessing. The "seven eyes of Je hovah," one for each day in the week, will observe and see all things that could harm us, and guide us safely past the dangers. As we look more closely, we seem to see the lineaments of Zerubbabel melt away into the fea tures of the Prince of the house of David, and the task on which he was then engaged merged into the build ing of the temple of Jehovah as s&t forth by the prophet in chapter 6, vers?s 12 to 15. (Please read). Of this spiritual temple, he is him self the sure foundation, the precious cornerstone and headstone of the cor- M urray Earl Wolfe of Union was a business visitor in Murray Saturday.
