Many Attend Assembly Sessions
Many from the Louisville and
Murdock congregations attended all
or a part of the 1936 assembly at
Milford, Nebraska. Many consider
that the assembly, which closed on
August 23, was the most successful
in several years, with a program
that amply challenged both young
and old. Popular platform addresses,
leadership training classes, rich sing
ing by a large choir, forum discus
sions, and challenging missionary
addresses, climaxed by a strong evan
gelistic emphasis each night, brought
everyone face to face with Jesus
Christ and the Christian life. Some
sixty people faced Him squarely,
either through personal surrender
and forgiveness or rededication of
their lives to Him in personal com
mittment and enrichment. Several
young people offered themselves at
the altar of the church for full-time
Christian service when the way opens
to them. Only God knows what those
results will mean to the Kingdom at
large.
Passing cf Old Resident
Mrs. Pauline Stackhetzkie was
born July 20, 1862, at Stargard,

June 5, 1899. Later she took up her

Los Angeles, Calif., one daughter,
Mrs. Ida Goerdert, of Lexington,
Nebraska, three grandchildren and

to this community as a long time
resident, a hard worker and a suf
ferer for the past three years. She

an's Missionary society at the time

Church Given Fine Piano

William Rikli recently presented the
beautiful piano of their late sister,
Mrs. Emma Koelling, to the Mur
dock Evangelical church in her mem
ory, to be used to the glory of God
and for the good of man.
Callahan Church Notes.
F. C. Weber, pastor
These are great days for the church
of Christ. She has a challenging mes
sage for the present day of dissatis
faction and unrest. Various dissi
pations for the moment seem to make
us forget our troubles in the gaiety
of the hour and whisper "thi3 is the
life." But when we come to ourselves
the old unsatisfied longing still per
sists and added to it we hava a head
pche plus a deflated pockelbook. We
may still ask with the ancient
prophet: "Wherefore do you spend
your money for that which is not
bread and you labor for that which
satisfieth not?"
You will always find a helpful
service at our church.
Over 1,200 at General Assembly
The fifth general assembly of the
Evangelical church, held at Lake
Wawasee, near Syracuse, Indiana,
August 5 to 9, was the largest con
vention of youth ever held in the

missionaries were inspired by the
challenge of the church during those
days, through the medium of Chris
tian education. The delegates came
Trom all part3 of the United States

and China. One young missionary
couple under appointment to Africa
thrilled the assembly delegates by
their life consecrations and mission
ary zeal for Christian service among
the negroes. They are now on the
