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.

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.

Gas Price Wavering
The price of gasoline in Union, as
elsewhere, has been 20.4 cents a gal
lon for the better grade, but George
A. 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.
