With this last quarter for 1936, we also close the five year cycle for 1931-1DC6. We continue the study of the "Spread of Christianity." Paul and Silas begin a second tour, for Paul, with a different partner. The teacher may well inject the oc casion for selecting Silas as describ ed in Acts 15:36-41, which will con vince us that these great leaders were intensely human. But the inci dent fits perfectly into the plan of God, for now there are two team3, instead of one; and soon the group grows as Timothy is added at Lystr.i and Dr. Luke at Troas. Barnaba3 took John Mark and went to his own country, the isle of Cyprus, and that id virtually the end of him, only as he i3 mentioned by Paul in his letters. (I Cor. 9:6; Gal. 2:1, 9, 13; Col. 4:10). Paul never visited the island of Cyprus again. Later Paul beautifully refers to John Mark and asked Timothy to bring him to Rome. (I Tim. 4:11; Col. 4:10). After visiting the church founded on his first missionary tour (a map would be of great service here), Paul and Silas take their journey from Seleucia by Cyprus to Pamphilia, then over land to Derbe and Lystra where he was stoned on his first visit. Here Timothy joins the party. The mother of Timothy, a Jew, had married a Greek whether he was a convert to Judaism, we know not. Timothy may have been present when Paul was stoned and in that hoir tinned to the Lord Jesus Christ, whom Paul preaches. Paul suggested the circumcision of Timothy, which could not offend the Gentiles, for it would make him a more acceptable worker to the Jews, because he was the child of a mixed marriage. Now they are on their way thru the regions of Phrygia and Galatia, in Asia Minor, Roman territory. Something strange happened here that baffled Paul the Holy Spirit shut the door against him. So our plans arc sometimes crossed by God; but if one is in fellowship with God, then he sees that the disappoint ments and difficulties are also under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, realizing this then, it is possible for the Spirit to guide him. Again he makes another start, intending to go into Bithynia, going north the spirit of Jesus again frustrated his plan. He is bewildered! Now, he turns south, reaching the seacoast town made famous by Homer, once known as "Troy," now Troas. Many a time in history has supernatural restraint and constraint changed the course of God's servants. Livingstone Intended to go to China; God sent Jiihi to Africa. Carey wanted to go to Polynesia; but God sent him to 'cdia. ,Now comes the call from Mace- GOVERNOR TO SPEAK HERE Governor R. L. Cochran will be the principal speaker at the banquet to be held here on Tuesday evening, October 6th. The banquet will be sponsored by the Cass County Young Democrats and will be held at the American Legion building at 6:30. A speaker of national reputation will also be here todiscuss the issues of the day. Following the banquet a free dance will be given and the public is invited to attend both the banquet and dance, the banquet ticket en titling the holder to the dance. Tickets may be secured of the various members of the democratic organization. RETURNED TO SERVICE From Wednesdays Daily Harry Stodola, who recently en listed in Co. M, 17th infantry, was picked up last evening here by Sher iff Homer Sylvester, at the request of the officers of the regiment. He has been absent several days from duty without leave. He was taken to the rifle range north of this city and turned over to the company com mander. Lesson Study! By L. Neitzel, Murdock, Neb. donia: "Come over into Macedonia and help us." Before this call came, wo visualize Paul in a ferment, and, greatly agitated, he takes recourse in prayer. God grants him a vision in answer to his petition. That is a kind Father's way, he leads his child, being in fellowship with him, man understands the voice, interprets the signs. (Someone , has said that it was Dr. Luke who suggested this move the next verse has "we" in it.) As Timothy and Luke join Paul and Silas, the company has increased to four. They set out to go to Europe by way of Samothace, Neapolis and Philipi. It was a great day, a mo meuteous day for Europe when the Gospel made its entrance; that "day" only, will reveal the tremendous up heaval caused by this move. Europe could never be the same after hav ing had the light brought to them. And in like manner, no man will bo the same after having experienced salvation, even if he should later backslide. Looking over the city and finding no synagogue, they find the place, by a riverside, where some devout women had gathered for prayer, on the Sabbath. What an example for Christians this should be, who can go by the church door and neglect to go in. Here is an opportunity and Paul embraces it and what a glor ious result! Why does not the preaching of today have such instantaneous re sults? Do we expect it? They were had 50 and 60 years ago. The Holy Spirit is present in power a whole household is converted. Lydia the first convert in Europe. The gospel has that same power today. A gracious revival fol'ows, a new church is organized and Paul and his party moves on. Luke abides in Philipi for the next seven years. (Chapv 17:1 would indicate that). Paul addressed a wonderful epistle to this church in the spring of 63 A. D., from Rome, sending same by Epaphroditus. In our second section of the lesson, Rom. 15:18-21, Paul reveals some of the fundamentals of his preaching and missionary work and recognizes the Lord Jesus as the personal and ever-present worker. (Matt. 28:20, Acts 1:1; I Cor. 15:10). His address at lconium. Acts 14:17, shows how he points out that God had at sun dry times given ample testimony to his claim as a devinely appointed preacher of the gospel. As an apos tle, he had performed signs and won ders in the power of the Holy Spirit, as related in his letter to the Gala tians. (2:1-5). Going where no one had been be fore; not building on the foundation of another: His parish was so large he had no need to go where others had been; no duplication for him a waste of time. He quotes Isaiah 62:15 and follows its dictation. Sketch of Life of Ewald Ulrich, Old Resident Made Home in Cass County Since 1903 ; Was a Highly Esteemed Resident of Community. Ewald Ulrich was born August 4, 1S71, at Alhbik by Stettin, Germany, his birth occuring in the year that the German states were solidified in the German empire.

The grass was burned out with the exception of the dandelions which seem to flour ish. But with the coming of the fall rains, affording an abundance of moisture, Mr. Smith has spaded the entire lawn and Is sowing it to grass which it is hoped will get a good start this fall and it looks like it would, so wth the coming of spring again the lawn will have a fair start.
