They have had a most pleas ant stay here with the relatives. Bible School Sunday, September 20 "Christian Living" Rom. 12:1-3; 9-21. In eleven chapters Paul has fin ished the doctrinal part; now he goes over to the practical. The great mercy of God shown in eleven chap ters, calls for sacrifice of ourselves to do his will. (Vs. 1, 2). The first eleven chapters of the Epistle to the Romans may be con sidered the most , important single J stone in the whole foundation of Christian thought Upon this' foun dation Paul is about to build in the remaining chapters a superstructure depicting the proper conduct; the' rich life that should mark everyone who, by faith, has become identified with Jesus Christ. The lesson verses cannot all be properly explained and taught in the mere half hour usually alloted to study of the Sunday school lesson, hence we must abbreviate and concentrate. Verses 1 and 2 will take consid erable time. The great mercies of God should be reason enough for any thinking man to make a great sacri fice to him that is "reasonable." The "mercies of God" refer to all the promises enumerated in the preced ing chapters. (Please read all of them). All that we have and enjoy through Jesus Christ, we have be cause "God is rich in mercy" (Eph. 2:4) and the apostle about to unfold before his readers an ideal of life that is loftier, holier, sweeter than all the pagan world could ever dream of, wants it clearly under stood that such a life does not "lead up to salvation" in Christ Jesus, but flows from a salvation already ac cepted in the human heart. "To pre sent your bodies." Christianity does not condemn the body, but demands that the body shall be purified and be united with Christ. Our members are to be instruments of righteous ness unto God (6:13); they are to be members of Christ (I Cor. 6:15); they are the temple of the Holy Spirit (I Cor. C:19). We are to be pure both in body and in spirit (I Cor. .7:14). To "present" means to set aside, give over to a special pur pose, "a living sacrifice." This in contrast to the dead sacrifices of slain animals presented in the tem ple. Our sacrifice has to do with our daily life. No one can indulge in bad habits, abuse his body, and be a whole hearted Christian; that is "unreas onable," and God will not accept euch service. No clean soul lives in B filthy body. With this living sacrifice goes the Reparation from the fashions of the world. It is a sad spectacle that today the Christians cannot be dis tinguished ,from the non-Christians. They seem to feel at home in the pounsel of the ungodly (Psalm 1:1), standing in the way. of sinners and pitting in the seat of the scornful. 33 MARRIED IN KANSAS CITY The many friends here will be in terested to learn of the marriage at KansasCity, Missouri, of Ralph H. Allen of this city and Miss Lora Wad dill of Blandinville, Illinois. Mr. Allen has just returned to Kansas City after an extended visit with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. M. B. Allen. Mr. Allen is a former service man and has a very large circle of friends in the . community. DOING STORE BUYING From Monday's DalTj- R. W. Knorr of the Popular Variety store of this city and Carl Panzer, of the Ashland Variety store, departed this morning for Chicago. They will spend a few days at the wholesale houses making purchases for the late fall and winter lines at their stores. UNDERGOES OPERATION "Nadine Ileigel of this city was taken to the Clarkson hospital at Omaha on Monday where she was opeiated en for appendicitis. She is reported a? doing very nicely at this time. Lesson Study! By L. Neitzel, Murdock, Neb. The old orthodox Jew could not be persuaded to lower the dignity of his religion (read Psalm 127:1-7), but our generation dees. The movies and theatres are crowded with church members and pay a premium for front seats; while the churches have only a sprinkling of the mem bers present at the services and all get as far away from the preacher as , they can. "Be not fashioned' ac cording to this world" should be in scribed on the walls in the church in flaming letters not unlike the bright red of the Neon signs that are seen everywhere to attract peo ple to places of worldly pleasure and sin. But be ye transformed, or "transfigured." This takes place when old things pass away, and all things become new; when the soul is reborn, passing from death into life, a new spirit takes the place of the old, bringing new thoughts, new aspirations, and new desires which prompt the whole being to action for the cause of righteousness. Man is not the same after this change has taken place. His life seems a strange thing to the world; he runs not with the old crowd; his language is dif ferent, he ha3 a higher aim he is actually and really transformed. Now his conduct to his fellowmen is changed. Verses 0 to 21 show us the ideal life. Is that obtainable? Yes! "I can do all things through Him who strengthened me." The eleven elements that build the arch of Christian character are con tained in the verses as given: (1) Love, verses 9 and 10; this is the source of all others, the root, the fountain; (2) Fervor, verse 11, in tensity of feeling, zeal, warmth; (3) Hope, verse 12, expectation, an ticipation, confidence; (4) Patience, verse 12, calmly enduring, persever ing; (5) Prayerfulness, verse 12 the key to God's storehouse which must never be lost or laid aside, or the soul is without its most potent weapon when in distress; (6) Gene rosity, verse 13, the opposite of covet ous, close, avaricious, miserly but rather being liberal, bountiful, etc.; (7) Hospitality, verse 13. the prac tice of entertaining strangers and friends with kindness and liberality; (8) Unvindicativeness, verse 14, the seeking of no. revenge for supposed vrong3; (9) Sympathy, verse 15, a mutual feeling of pleasure or pain, compassion; (10) Unity, verse 15, the state of being one, concord, uni formity, harmony; (11) Humility, verse 16, humble, modest, self-abs.se-ing this is the ideal of a Christian character. All these elements were in Christ Jesus. "Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus." (Phil. 2:5). If all the followers of Jesus would strive to follow His example, surely "the tabernacle of God would be with men and He would dwell with them." (Rev. 21:3). national Advertiser Enters Small Towns to Reach Consumer Quaker Oats Begins Comprehensive Campaign in Journal To Dis tribute Book of Tricks The Quaker Oats Company , is com ing back to small town daily and weekly newspapers to advertise their excellent product. The Journal has just signed a contract for ads in each edition of our Thursday Semi-Weekly for the coming six months. To insure the success of this initial campaign in small town papers, the dealers and newspapers are joining in a special co-operative effort, that includes tie-in ads of dealers to be run in connection with the regular ad of the Quaker company, the dis tribution through the newspaper of fices of Dick Darling's 'Bag of Tricks' upon presentation of trade marks cut from Quaker Oats labels. When this opening advertising broadside appears in the Journal next Thursday, full details of this free trick book will be given therein. In addition the Quaker ad will list the names of all dealers in Cass county who handle Quaker Oats. The Jour nal is giving this listing lineage free to help the campaign along and to make it a success in every store. In addition, all stores are bejng urged to carry small tie-in ads on this special Quaker Oats page. Grocers appreciate the value of an established brand name and should respond to the special tie-in offer by placing ads of their own, calling at tention to their displays of Quaker Oats and the book of 62 magic tricks to be given away free. The Journal office will distribute this trick book of 64 pages, neatly bound, to each person who brings the Quaker man cut from a large package of oats or two Quakers from the smaller packages. This book contains simple tricks which any boy or girl can perform for the .en tertainment of themselves and others. They will all want one, and under this plan of distribution it will not be necessary to mail the trade marks to some distant point, as is usually the case simply, bring them to our office and. take home your copy of the book. Quaker Oats dealers throughout the county will co-operate in the campaign by usingspecial displays in their stores, Btocitfig. an Iclequate supply of Quaker Oats to meet the increased' demand,' and, as " stated above, using small tie-in ads call ing attention to the fact that Quak er Oats may be obtained at their stores. When a large concern decides to use local newspapers for advertising service, it means increased sales for the local merchants (as proven in the state of Missouri where this tie in plan has been worked most suc cessfully in every county seat news paper) and the Journal is pleased to co-operate, confident that the mer chants themselves will want to take supplemental ads next week when the opening Quaker ad runs, to fur ther increase their sales. WE THANK YOU ALL Incident to our disability which resulted in our spending some four days at the hospital.

Stites this week cut the price of his gas to 18.5 cents a gallon and has an ad in this issue of the Jour nal calling attention to the new price. This is the first semblance of a as war in Cass county in many a month, as the price seems to have been standardized among all dealers. Mr. Stites contends the price has been shaded to certain customers by some dealers and he believes in giv ing the same price to all, so has set that price at 18.5 een-ts and is so advertising it to the world.
