Bible School Sunday, August. 23rd "The Gospel for All Men" Acts 11:5-18; Rom. 1:15-17. If the study of this lesson carries the conviction to men of the abso lute necessity of the Gospel of Jesus Christ for all men, everywhere then it will also show and prove thein adequacy of -any religious thought" or cult as a substitute for man's salvation. Then we have the unfold ing of God's plan to bring the Gos pel of Jesus Christ to the world by persecution. How strange but how effective! "Therefore, they that were scattered abroad, went every where preaching the word." (Acts 8:4). As Philip the deacon went as far as Cuesaria, where he preached Christ, we see the possibility that Cornelius came undSr his preaching and became a "seeker." Here i3 a man with a high reputation. Four tilings stand out in his character. (1) He was a devout man, devoted to religious thoughts; (2) he fear ed Ood; (3) he was a benevolent man, helping the poor as need arose, and ( 4 ) he led a prayer-life. Excellent qualities, but not enuf for salvation. So wa3 Naaman, the Syrian, a Kreat man but a leper. (II Kings, 5). God could do something with Cor nelius; ho was a man whom God could trust. An Italian by birth, a Roman citizen, a high officer in the army one who stood plenty high in the estimation of the Jews but, withal, a sinner. As a seeker for the truth, we find him for four days fasting and praying. (See Acts 10: 30). When he became of the proper frame of mind and spirit, God sent a ministering spirit (Heb. 1:14) to lend encouragement and impart in struction. So, likewise, does God help every earnest soul. This man's religion affected hif whole household; otherwise it would be of little value. Obedience is a Boldier's first law so he follows in structions at once; he sends for the preacher. The next day at noon the preacher had a great revelation and experience on the housetop Joppa Caesarea are about 4 0 miles apart. Peter is also obedient, for after he had told the Lord he would not do as told, he changed his mind and went with the men to Caesarea. It is quite a company ten men who Bet out from Joppa. May we stop a moment and con sider God's way in leading men, to bring them together to further his plans to build his kingdom. Peter underwent a tremendous change a revolution! And so the Jew and the Gentile meet on common ground; and Peter fulfilled his God-given mission (Matt. 16:19) to open the kingdom to the Jews at Jerusalem at pente cost. and now to the Gentiles at 33 RETURNS FROM HOSPITAL Mrs. Mathilde Ramsel, who has been at the Nicholas Senn hospital at Omaha for the past nine months, suffering from the effects of Injuries received in an auto accident, return ed home Saturday. She is showing a great deal of improvement but will require some time before she is able to resume her usual activities around the home. HAVE TONSILECTOMIES The past few days several of the residents of the city have had ton silectomies performed here and among this number has been Chester Taylor, Dwayne Henry and Miss Lucille Case. All of the patients are doing nicely and on the highway to complete re covery from the effects ofthe oper ations. UNDERG0ES T0NSELECT0MY Ralph, son of Mr. and Mrs. John Parkening, was operated on Tuesday for the removal vof his tonsils and which proved very successful and the young lad is now resting very easily. It is expected that within a few days that he will be able to resume his usual activities. Lesson Study! By L. Neitzel, Murdock, Neb. Caesarea, the "Gentik3 Pentecost." After this he becomes one of the twelve, as James becomes the leader of the Jewish part of the Christian church and Paul to the Gentiles. This meeting of two great men is ttn event; each recognizing in the other that greatness of character one representing the greatest world power, the other the potential pow er of God's kingdom. The result was the establishing of Christ's kingdom in a heathen city. The first Gentile convert; or was the Ethiopian the first? We think not; he was ac quainted with Jehovah worship and came to Jerusalem for that purpose. (The teacher should give here a vivid description of the scenes in Cornelius' home). The Judaizers found fault with Peter's acts, so that he had to bring the matter before the mother-church. There he rehearses the whole mat ter and defends his going to the Gentiles, and could prove by six witnesses that his story was true. When Peter finished, he had silenced the trouble-makers, and they joined in and glorified God, saying: "Then hath God also to the Gentiles grant ed repentance unto life." Thus the fact is established that the Gospel is for all men; a universal salva tion is what Christ wrought! "He died for all." This lesson has a remarkable end ing. Wc meet the Apostle Paul, who had preached this Gospel over twen ty years; who had seen its effect on men of all classes; under all climes. He is a competent and qualified wit ness, and he says: "I am not asham ed of the Gospel; for it is the power of God ..." (This was the text for the first sermon this writer preach ed 58 years ago.) Numerous instan ces could be cited of the power of the Gospel under the preaching of this energetic man, Paul, who was possessed of great courage and vision. See a Felix tremble (Acts 24:25) as Paul preaches about "righteousness, tempcrence and judgment to come." That man was convinced of his bad life. See King Agrippa wince when Paul spoke "the words of truth and soberness." Agrippa is convinced, but will not yield to become a Chris tian. Where is the preaching of today where the power of God is manifest in such manner that men cry out: "Sirs, what must I do to be saved?" Our converts of today do not show "a Godly sorrow that worketh re pentance" (II Cor. 7:9), hence they have not the joy of sins forgiven. What a sorrowful spectacle! The early church was not built of such material. That Gospel will reveal the right eousness of God; that faith is the victory; that the more abundant life is only found in Christ Jesus. Asks Damages for Auto Crash North of Union Mrs. Ruth Cremeens Asks $2,000 for Injuries Received in Wreck North of Union. Following the crash atonday night on highway No. 75 north of Union, n. suit for damages was filed here Tuesday atternoon in the district court by Mrs. Ruth Cremeens of Cen tral City against Leo Almstead of Sioux City, Iowa, and Leland Redd ing of St. Joseph, Missouri.

Eotli Hatfield and Quick have been in custody several days. They were held for questioning immediately af ter the body of the woman was found in the home, but released temporarily when preliminary questioning failed to link either with the crime Asked why he had not implicated Quick at the first questioning, ill- stead of denying any knowledge of the slaying, Hatfield declared he had been threatened with death by Quick if he told what he knew.

FALLS ASLEEP Prom Wednesday's Dally ' This morning at 2:30 Officers Pickrell and Stewart in their tour over the business section of the city, discovered a stranger sleeping in one of the doorways on Main st. between 4th and 5th streets.

Wind Does Freak Trick Frank Bauer, who visited at Green wood and vicinity last Sunday, re ports the damage done by the wind as being very heavy. The large barn of Mrs. Ollie Sayles was blowndown and a piece of 2x4 nailed to a wide board was blown through the roof of the barn, resembling the freaks of a tornado. It is hard to estimate the force behind a 2x4 that would literally drive it through a roof, but we would hate to be in its way. In spite of the wind and electrical dem onstration only a very little rain fell. At Veterans' Hospital Eugene Roddy, the Murray carrier, took Ralph Davis to Veterans' hospital at Lincoln mail the last Sunday, where he will receive treat ment hoped to restore him to health, although the doctors at that institu tion say it will require months of treatment and even then they are not sure he can be helped a great deal.

Stine, who is a phil osopher of the home kind who keeps his eyes optn and does not have much say, has offered a solution to the matter of getting rain in abund ance which he says he is suro will work. That is to do away with the radios, for he claims that before the advent of the air talkers there was plenty of rain and will be aftain if the radios of the country are shut off. Wc are not going to try it until after the world's series and the elec tion are over. Enjoyed a Fine Afternoon. Mrs. J. C. Hansel who i3 much interested in the work of the W. C. T.
