DEATH OF YOUNG WIFE
From Wedneadaya Dally
The community was .profoundly
shocked this morning to learn of the
death of Mrs. Tony Katheiser, 19,
which occurred at 10 o'clock at an
Omaha hospital.
Mrs. Katheiser was taken to Omaha
a week ago Monday and operated on
and seemingly had been doing very
well until late Tuesday night when
her condition became worse and
death followed this morning.
The deceased lady was a daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. C. L. Groves of
Tobias, Nebraska, and was married
in February to Mr. Katheiser at
Geneva, Nebraska, the young people
coming direct from that city to
Plattsmouth where they have since
made their home.
During her residence here she has
made many friends who will join
with the family in the deep sorrow
that her passing has brought.
The funeral arrangements have
not as yet been completed awaiting
the arrival of the members of the
family.
Bible, School
Sunday, August 30th
!.
"Beginning of World Missions"
Acts 11:19-21; 13:1-12.
The church, in her short existence,
is breaking out over all bounds and
barriers; she could not be confined
in "old bottles;' new wine belongs
in "new bottles." (See Matt. 9:17).
The young giant is stretching it
self; the confines of Palestine are
too small! Phoenicia, Cyprus, Anti
och northward ; Cyrene southward
and Selencia westward. A short. 17
years have passed, and the church is
ready for world-evangelizing for
eign missions. Persecutions have per
formed their part. The devil over
played his hand; what was expected
to destroy the church became the
means to spread the fire. That was
a sad mistake when Stephen was
killed, because that brought Saul of!
Tarsus to the fore. He was Stephen !
multiplied a hundred times. So;
does God turn what is often thought
to be a calamity to his glory and
the furtherance of his plans.
The Bible student must get up
with Moses on Mount Nebo, then
to the top of Pisgah, and take a
view of the land that the church
shall take, possess and bring to the
Christ. "Ask of me, and I shall give
thee the heathen for thine inherit
ance and the uttermost parts of the
earth for thy possession." (Psalm
2:8).
"And the Gentiles shall come to
thy light, and Kings to the bright
ness or thy rising." (Isa. 60:3).
"And he shall set up an ensign
the cross of Christ for the nations,
and shall assemble the outcasts of
Israel, and gather together the dis
persed of Judah from the four cor
ners of the earth." (Isa. 11:13).
With this introduction, we will
now study details. First, we see the
founding of the church at Antioch.
Two cities are named in the New
Testament, 'Antioch.' One is Antioch
in Syria (the one of our lesson); the
other is Antioch in Pisidia, in Asia
Minor. The scattered disciples of
Christ from Jerusalem traveled as
far as Phoenicia north of Pales
tine a Roman province with cities
of Tyre, Sidon, Beirut and Tripolis;
west to the lsland of Cyprus (35,000
square mile3). Here were many
Jews.
Antioch was reached by these trav
eling preachers; they confined their
message only to Jews. But those
Christians of Cyprus and Cyrene
were more liberal and preached to
the Greeks the Lord Jesus. It is
interesting to note all through the
book of the Acts that the disciples
and apostles carried a message, not
of philosophy, or of social better
tment, or of political revolution, but
one that centered in Christ Jesus,
the Lord, and had to do with the
wonderful redemption offered b7
Cod, through him. And great suc
cess crowned their efforts.
No one person is named as the
founder of this church. But Jeru
salem heard of the gracious work,
and they sent a good man Barnabas
HAVE FAMILY REUNION
Sunday afternoon the home of
Mr. and Mrs. James Rebal was the
scene of a very pleasant family gath
ering in honor of the members of the
family who have been visiting here
from California, Mr. and Mrs. Ed
ward Rebal and family and Fred
Rebal. The occasion brought all of
the children here with the exception
of Raymond Rebal of Great Falls
Montana, and George Rebal of Iowa
City. The time was spent in visiting
with the various members of the fam
ily group and the opportunity of
greeting the visitors who leave to
day for their home in the west.
Those who enjoyed the event were
Mr. and Mrs. Edward Rebal and
children, Harold and Shirley of
Montebello, California; Fred Rebal
of Santa Monica, California; James
Rebal, Jr., Mr. and Mrs. Robert
Rebal, Frank Levings, Omaha; Mr.
and Mrs. Chester Couch and son,
Jack, of Lincoln; Mr. and Mrs. Frank
Rebal and children, Jane, Ronald and
Mary Jo, and Mr. and Mrs. James
Rebal of this city.
Lesson Study!
By L. Neitzel, Murdoch:, Neb.
a native of the Isle of Cyprus, to
investigate and "when he came and
saw the grace of God, he was glad."
(Acts 11:23). This big hearted man
saw that it would take a strong and
wise leader to build a strong church;
and he knew the man who could do
it. So, away he goes to Tarsus to
bring Saul to take charge of the
work. Was he led by the Holy Spirit?
For a whole year this team worked
in Antioch, with great success. And
the name "Christian" was coined
here by the enemies of the church,
being adopted by her as very appro
priate, even to this day.
Now the time had come to launch
the enterprise. Its success would de
pend on the men selected, so, in
order that no mistake be made, the
Holy Spirit took charge of the mat
ter. As there was the proper ma
terial to select from (for there were
five candidates: Barnabas; Simeon,
called Niger; a black man, Lucius,
from Africa; Mauaen and Saul), Bar
nabas and Saul were selected for the
work of opening the new field.
Contrary to the custom of today,
when we send missionaries forth with
a farewell banquet, a veritable spread
of good things to eat, they fasted and
prayed, laid their hands on them
the other three and dedicated them
for this service.
Question: Why has the church de
parted from this beautiful custom?
Should not men always be "called"
by the Holy Spirit for thi3 high and
holy ofTice? There would be fewer
misfits in the profession.
Westward moved the star of
Christ's Empire, .to the seaport of
Selncia and Cyprus, their destina
tion the home country of Barnabas.
How happy he must have been to
bring his own people the precious
news that "God so loved, that he . , ."
(John 3:16).
Beginning at Salamis, the eastern
port, they go the length of the island
until they reach the western end at
Paphos a great preaching tour.
At Paphos a great battle is fought
between the powers of darkness and
light, and "light" won the day. Wo
urge you, teachers, to describe this
important scene. Here Saul assumes
the leadership and changes his name
to Paul. Barnabas and Saul now
Paul and Barnabas.
The first convert of Cyprus and
this tour is a high Roman officer.
Was the punishment inflicted on
Elymas too severe? He was blind for
"a season," which gave him time to
repent. Paul was blind three days
before the light shone in 'his soul.
That was a glorious beginning of the
new venture. ; "
"We have beard a Joyful sound;
Jesus Saves! Jesus Saves.
Spread the tidings all around;
Jesus Saves! Jesus Saves!
Bear the news to every land;
Climb the peaks and cross
the waves!
Onward! 'Tis the Lord's command
Jesus Saves! Jesus Saves!
Sing ye islands of the sea; echo
back -ye ocean caves:
Jesus Saves! Jesus Saves!
AIvo Schools
Prepare for the
Season Opening
Supt. L. M. Hauptman Will Head
School System for Third Year
Outline Course of Study.
With the beginning of classes on
Monday, September 7, Alvo Consoli
dated school enters Us second year
under the 6-6 high school organ
ization system which proved valuable
to the community last year and was
adopted for another year by the
board of education.
The live regular school busses will
make their routes so that school may
take up at 8:40.
Two changes have been made in
the faculty of last year. Miss Edith
Carlson of Oakland will have grades
3-4 and Joe J. Jarson of Homer will
coach and teach mathematics, sci
ence, and manual training.
Other high school teachers include
Miss Melda Shoemaker of Odell who
has the work in home economics and
Ray C. Meyers of Greenwood who
teachs English, Latin, and type
writing. Miss Marjorie Am whose home is
at Plattsmouth will return for her
third year. She will have grades 5-6.
Miss Olive Maxson of Lincoln will
have grades 1-2 again.
Superintendent L. M. Hauptman
will head the school for the third
year. lie nanaies an tne social sci
ence work in high school.
A new course, Junior Business
Training, will follow a course in
bookeeplng in the upper mathematics
field. Public speaking and business
Enelish will be included in the
English program. Courses in man
ual training, home economics, and
typewriting will also be offered be
sides the regular academic work. Mr.
Larson is adding power machinery to
the manual arts shop.
There will be opportunity given
for the organization of classes in
boys' home economics and girls'
manual training if demand warrants.
Music, penmanship, and art are
departmentalized in the lower six
grades with one teacher in charge of
each throughout the grades.
Extra-curricular activity will in
elude: A boys glee club, a girl3 glee
club, and a band in the 'music;-a
physical education class for girls and
one for boys; a dramaticclub; and
a newspaper staff which issues a
school paper once each month. All
of these are maintained during the
school day.
Basketball, baseball, track, and
tennis are held out of regular school
hours. A regular convocation will be
held on each Tuesday morning.
Under the six-six organization the
seventh and eighth grades are en
rolled in the high school with no
loss of their regular class work and
two or three subjects are added to
their curriculum. This type of or
ganization is being adopted each year
by an increasing number of the
small high schools of the state and
proves very satisfactory.
FISHERMEN IN TROUBLE
The fishing game ain't what it
used to be was discovered by a
party of Omaha people who were
caught fishing at the Louisville lakes
in several brands of violation of the
rules and regulations set forth by the
state game commission.
The parties were notified to ap
pear before Judge C. L. Graves here
and have the matter adjusted and
accordingly they were on the spot
last evening to have their cases
heard. The complaints were filed by
H. C. Mapes, deputy state game war
den. Julia Henderson and Mary Kasada,
were arraigned on the complaint that
charged that they were fishing with
out the proper license, entering a
guilty plea to the charge and they
were accordingly given fines of ?1
and costs.
Mose Yousem, also of Omaha, was
charged with having in his possession
fish less than the legal length. He
had made an attempt to escape from
the officers and as the result was
given a fine of $10 and costs for his
offense, totaling some $20 which was
settled.
C. A. Robirds, also of Omaha, was
charged with fishing without a li
cense and drew down a $1 fine and
the costs of prosecution. Mr. Robirds
entered a plea of not guilty to the
charge, but the officers claimed that
he had a pole fishing when arrested.
