(Christmas). Matt. 1:1-8 —2:12; Mark 1:1-11; Luke 2:1-20. Let Us Think Peace. Soon the air will be filled with the lifting music of Christmas carols. Soon we will join a fellowship of the nations by uniting with them in the quaint folk songs with which they herald the coming of a spirit of gaiety and friendliness, a desire to give to those less fortunate and to all whom we love, some token of our good will or affection. For a brief season at least the world where Christ is known and adored will think “peace.” Scarcely if ever has this em phasis been more timely. Per haps it is not too much to hope ■ that the suspicion, hatred and fear that turned the world into an armed camp will be rebuked ! and the very thought of war become so abhorrent that na tions will look upon it as nothing less than apostasy. Peace demands of each of us faith and courage. It rests upon individual dedication and the re capture of a sense of elemental joy. This is the good news of the Gospel. This is the center of the Christian message, “God so loved that he gave....” The coming of Christ into the world closed a long night of universal dread. His life points the way to individual and corporate happi 1 ness. Identification with his mind I establishes and undergirds all true joy. The, world has grown ol<i (in. recent ijiears. We have lost a large measure of resiliency and gaiety of spirit. We have de pended upon false stimulation that eventuates only in deeper disillusionment and despair. Now Christ comes again into our hearts. He comes as a help less Babe reflecting the virtue, the radiance and the beauty ex posed in the face of a little child. It may seem a far cry from our modern sophistication to the simplicity, the innocence, the trustfulness and the serenity of infancy. The spirit of youth grows largely from our attitudes toward life. It makes possible the recapture of a freshness and ' vigor too often identified exclu sively with childhood. Let us recapture the spirit of joy implicit in all true Chris tian fellowship. Doubt, disillu sionment, and despair have no ! place in the hearts of those who believe in God as Jesus revealed Him, who remember that this is God’s world and that all things I work together for good to them ; that love God. Quinn Chapel Begins Rally For Bus Fund Persuant to action of the Church Conference December 6, the Official Board is beginning a rally to raise funds for a bus to transport children and members who live a distance from the chapel, to Sunday School, church and other church activities. A number of pledges have been made to this end. The congrega tion voiced its need and willing ness to purchase a suitable vehicle. QUALITY PHOTOS Lower Prices—Faster Service PHOTO NOOK • a.M. to t p.ao. Ml Seada?s 1443 “O” Street Lincoln, Neb*. Out of Old Nebraska By James C. Olson Superintend?lit, Stat? Hlfttoriral Society Nebraskans always have been interested in education, and the history of our schools goes all the way back to Fort Atkinson, the first military post to be established west of the Missouri river. In the records of the Sixth In fantry, we find the following no tice, dated Feb. 4, 1822: “The school room being completed a school will commence on Wed nesday next under the direction of Sergeant Mumford who has been appointed teacher and will be re spected accordingly.” The next attempt to bring edu cation to the Nebraska country occurred in the winter of 1833 when Moses Merrill, a Baptist missionary, and his wife arrived at the Bellevue trading post. Seven days after her arrival, Mrs. Mer rill began a school in a log cabin for Indian children about the post. In 1855, the first territorial leg islature passed an act providing for free public schools. The of fice of territorial superintendent was combined with that of ter ritorial librarian, and each county was to have a superintendent chosen by popular election. The county superintendent was to divide his county into districts and notify residents to organize schools. Each county was to levy a tax of not less than three nor more than five mills on all tax able property for the support of its schools. These early territorial schools were a far cry from what we en joy today. Frequently no building was available and school had to be held in one of the pioneer 1 homes. If a separate building were ; available for school purposes, it was never more than a cabin about 22x32 feet with walls of logs and a roof of sod. The rate of pay was low and teachers were hard to find. The average monthly salary for a man was about $30, and for a woman, about $26. Men were preferred because it was believed they “could do the lickin’ as well as the learnin’.” Frequently, though, the mother in whose home the school was held had to serve as the teacher. As the territory and state de veloped, more adequate provi sions were made for the educa tion of Nebraska’s youth, although at times many of the state’s citi zens were discouraged at the progress actually made. The important features of these early schools, it seems to me, is not the degree of their develop ment but the fact that they give evidence of a sincere appreciation of education on the part of pio neer Nebraskans. Taliaferro Named Indiana's Most Valuable Player BLOOMINGTON. (ANP). Jun ior George Taliaferro, an All Big Nine halfback in 1945 and 1948, was selected by teammates as In diana’s most valuable player for ! the 1948 season. In 193 plays, running and passing, he marked up 812 yards and averaged 40.5 yards per punt. Besides doing practically all the punting and passing he found time to snag nine passes-star on defenses and play 50 to 60 minutes of every game until he received injuries which kept him out except for a few minutes at a time. Talia ferro starred at the Gary Roose velt high school before coming to Indiana university. 1 Plans Laid For Quinn Chapel Christmas Entertainments Quinn Chapel Sunday School will have its annual Christmas exercises and tree on Friday, December 24 at 8:00 p. m.
