THURSDAY, AUGUST 3, 1939. PAGE FOTTR PLATTSMOUTH SEMI - WEEKLY JOUBNAL Nehawka Don Hansen of Omaha was visit ing here over Sunday and was taken home in the evening by his friend, II. F. St. John. Tommy Mason, the rural mail car rier, has been making some changes in the home and is being assisted in the remodeling by Forrest Cunning Lam. Albert August of Fremont was visiting over the week end in Ne hawka. He reports the weather very dry up that way and rain needed cry badly. While Robert II. Chapman i3 away on vacation Fred Miller will look after the carrying of the mail for the route regularly carried by Mr. Chapman. Messrs. Granville Ileebner and Marion N. Tucker were in Platts mouth as well as Omaha last Mon day where they were looking after some business matters for the after noon. After having been confined to his home by sickness for the past five weeks. Charles Hemphill was able to be down town last Monday and while he is not as yet entirely well it is pleasing that he is able to get out. A. A. McReynolds and wife and Miss Lanna McReynolds departed Tuesday of this week for the west coastw here they will spend about a month looking over the San Fran cisco fair and seeing the westera country. Louis Chappell was assisting Her bie Kuntz in rebuilding a cave at their home which the recently pur chased. The cave which was walled with stone, had in a way fallen in end the place was dug out again and a larger and deper cave is being coi:rtructed. Wm. Nixon and family who have been residing in the Methodist church parsonage have moved tc the southeast part of town, and Mr and Mrs. Mark Burton have moved into the church property, as it close to the school building, ot which Mr. Burton is caretaker. II. II. Stoll and Henry Gruber who well know the art of catching fith whether the fish are willing to Bible School Sunday, Aujust 6th "Elijah: A Life of Courage" I Kings 18:30-39. This is one of the outstanding characters of the Old Testament. No man ever did what Elijah did. Step ping up to King Ahab, without an introduction or preamble, says: "As the Lord God of Israel liveth, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but ac cording to my word." No man ever spoke with such utter abandon, abruptness there are no "its' and "ands" about it no explanation is given Ahab would know the "why" and "wherefore." His entrance upon the scene and departure fill the stu dent with perplexity and wonder. No man ever came and went like Elijah. He steps out like a God, shuts up the heavens; he identifies himself with tfce God of Israel that is a powerful company. His promise came true. (See James 5:17). Three years and six months of drought brought brought a great hardship up on the people, who had forsaken God and served idol3. (Our years of drought may possibly be traced to man forsaking -God.) The dry years have made the people willing to lis ten to God. Elijah appears again to Altab it was not a pleasant meeting, like the gathering of old friends, for Ahab showed his open hostility but Elijah displayed a courage that is amazing; it put the fear of God into Ahab and made him willing to obey the prophet. Elijah gives Ahab back the accusation of being the troubler of Israel. Abab's guilty conscience makes him a coward; he had allow ed Baal worship to be introduced by Jesebel, his Phoenician, wife. . We ; marvel at the courage dis played by Elijah. It is not the king Vho gives orders, but a man in league with God; he commands and the king obeys. ' JThe scene enacted on Mount Car mel is hard to describe without a vivid imagination.' Two rival deities are put to a test; the people to be the Judges. The representatives of the Gods are to perform 'certain rites, ni.'l the God that can answer with fire is to be the God whom the peo ple shall worship. It is to be a great day for Israel hi3tory was made that day. No man can ever forget the day when he made "the great decision to trve God and give up th-j world, like Joshua (See Joshua 24:15). It is' the greatest moment in any man's lifer it i3 the turning relnt, when nan Etarts on his heav enward jcuraer. until he has finished be caught or not, were over to the mouth of the Weeping Water below Union where they succeeded in get ting a good catch last Monday, hut as the ffsh did not want to le'ave their home, the gentlemen turned them back into the creek. Have Dinner at Park. Mr. and Mrs. Nelson Berger were enjoying a visit at Riverside Park in Nebraska City last Sunday, and had as guests MY. and. Mrs. Nelson Berger and Mr. and Mrs. Albert Sorenson, parents of Mrs. Kuntz. which made a very merry party who enjoyed their dinner in the open, Rhoden Family Reunion. The members of the Rhoden fam ily were gathered at Garfield Fark in IMattsmouth last Sunday where they enjoyed a get-together and while not all were able to be there a large number of almost every branch of the family were present. Many of the family make their home in Murray and vicinity, and members of tho family reside in all parts ot the state. Mr. and Mrs. Lyle Krliger and little daughter, and Mrs. Harry Bolotz were at the gathering from Nehawka. A large number from over the country as well as from riattsmouth and Omaha were pres ent. Home From the West. Mr. and Mrs. Stacy Niday wnc have been spending some ten dayp in the mountains of Colorado, ai the very popular resort of the Ma sortie lodge, where they enjoyed the unique scenery and cool air returned home last Saturday night and were pleased to be home again, notwithstanding their stay there was most pleasant. Mr. Niday speaking of the conditions there said it was very dry and that rain was badly needed. Receives Injury to Arm. While John Chriswisser was work ing with his road machine he in some way received a bump on one ol his arms at the elbow and a funny sensation was immediately appar ent, much like when one receives a rap on his funny bone. The arm wa? left partly paralyzed. However it is Lesson Study! By L. Neitzel, Murdock, Neb. Ms course. Ahab called the people to Mount Carmel; 450 prophets of Baal are there, to represent him; the preliminaries are arranged, to which a!t parties agree. The worshippers of Baal are given first place. They piepare their sacrifice and begin their prayers and pleadings. One cannot help but wonder in what nmod the prophets of Baal follow ed the instructions of Elijah, wheth er they had a premonition that this was the day of their doom; or hav ing deceived others for so many years, they themselves were deceived into believing that they could bring fire down from heaven; or, whether they planned some trick by which their sacrifice would "seem" to be Miraculously consumed by supernat ural fire. Whatever their mood, they had to meet the challenge of Elijah and their power in the future would be decided by what happened that day. Well, nothing had happened by noon. Elijah seems to grow sar castic as he cheers them on, and it s:unds like ridicule, but is taken by the prophets of Baal seriously. Their cries ;. nd antics and actions prove them to be in real earnest but all to no avail. The last act begins! Elijah, rep resentative f Jehovah, calls the people to come to him, to see that all is done fair. First, repaired the altar of the Lord not a new altar; Next twelve stones are used, not ten twelve tribes. Then a trench is dug, wood is placed on the altar, then the bullock on the wood, and the last , part is that twelve barrels of water are poured until everything is dtenched with water and the trench is full. The decisive moment has come the lone' man steps to the fitar it i3 a tense moment will Jehovah fail him, will his faith v.-aver? Reverently and solemnly he lifts up his. hand and voice. Read his prayer (versus 3 6 and 37). Can you imagine the suspense of this mo nunt! The silence and quiet is awe inspiring. Elijah stopped now" Jehovah is taking a hand. He honors his eer fcnt, proves himself the Omnipotent! A great shout rises from the people their judgment is: "The Lord, He is" God." Thus is Jehovah's service re-estab-l'-hed and the people brought back t-i Cod. See what one man can do who has. unbounded faith In God. - i t!" j record says: He was a man Uks ct!:::rs. thought that the condition will not remain but will with careful treat ment soon disappear. Will Go to Coast. W. A. Ost and family, which con sisted of Mrs. Ost and daughter, Mis3 Betty, and her friend, Miss Edith Schumacher, with their, nephew. Baldour as driver, departed last Tuesday for the west and expect to be away for a month. They will visit at the San Francisco fair and also at other interesting places on the coast. Spending Time in West. Mr. and Mrs. Walter J. Wunder lich who have been looking forward to the coming of the time for theii vacation were pleased when it was finally arranged for them to go They were accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. Pickens of Plattsmouth. Tho party expects to remain in the west for from ten days to two weeks and will endeavor to enjoy the limit cd time to the very best. Enjoying Vacation. Miss Ruth Chapman who makes her home in Chicago where she is a nurse, has been spending some time at the home of her parents, lr. and Mrs. R. H. Chapman and with her sister Miss Beatrice, who is teacher in the publib schools. Local People Enjoy Very Ex tensive Trip J. C. Petersen Family Covers Much of the East on Outing and Now Go to Minnesota to Fish. From Monday's Daily Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Petersen and children, Edna Mac and Shirley, de partd today on the second part of their summer outing, a fishing trip to Minnesota, after a very ex tensive visit through the eastern states. Leaving here the family had gone east to Chicago where Mrs. Anna Rath, mother of Mrs. Petersen and her brother, Joseph Rath and family reside, and here they had a pleasant stay, going from Chicago to Detroit and then to Windsor and London, Canada, as well as Toronto, one of the main cities of that part of the dominion. The family motored to Callander, Canada, to see the Dionne quins, whom they visited two years ago and found the children much larger and really more charming. In the North Bay country they found much wildness and the realization of the old Canada before the coming of the settlers. They then visited Ot tawa, the dominion capital and had the pleasure of visiting the houses of parliament, seeing the throne which had been used in the recep tion of King George and Queen Elizabeth. While they were at Que bec, they witnessed the colorful cere mony of the changing of the guard at the citadel, as well as a trip through the city where streets and houses carry the old French touch and have changed but little in the hundreds of years that they have been in existence, visiting also many of the churches erected by the early settlers of Canada. In returning to the United States the party came through the north woods of Maine, a very wild and picturesque section and one that is usually off the general path of the traveler. Their trip extended through New England and a very delightful tour of Boston which had included visiting the Bunker Hill monument, "Old Ironsides," Harvard University. Paul Revere's house, the famous com mons and dog pound as well as Ply mouth rock at Cape Cod. The jour ney included a stop at Providence. Rhode Island, Hartford and also in Vermont and New Hampshire, where many very lovely rural sections were touched on the trip. While at Niagara Falls, the local party dined at the General Brock hotel where King George and Queen Elizabeth had been entertained at the Rainbow room. They witnessed the operation of the locks in the Welland canal that 13 one of the largest in the continent. The family enjoyed a visit with Mr. and Mr3. L. W. Earger, the lat ter formerly Alice Petersen, sister of Mr. Petersen, and later visited Latrobe, where they had the oppor tunity of visiting friends and hav ing a trip through one of the large coal mines. On the last part of the homeward journey they stopped at Chicago and witnessed the Yankee-White Sox series at Comiskey park. Dockaga facilities ma Plalla- mouth an Ideal factory site.
