Lions Club Charter Night The Lions club, in existence here for some time, dwindled in size until it ceased to exist before the members realized what a fine force for good it had been in the community. So it was re-organized last spring and has a large and flourishing membership, meeting regularly and working in greatest harmony. On Tuesday night they celebrated what in lodge parlance is known as Charter iMght, with a dinner ana a guest speaker. Besides the local mem bership, there were Lions club mem bers here from Lincoln, Syracuse and Nebraska City, in which latter town a new club has just recently been or ganized. A very pleasant evening was enjoyed. Grass Fires Dangerous Owing to the extremely dry con dition of grass and weeds, several flrps have been started recently. Some of these might have proved to be serious if they had not been dis covered in time. Great care should be taken about the disposition of matches or cigarettes during this dry period. Firemen were called to Wolcott's Hill Saturday morning when fire was headed toward the Wolcott home and later in the afternoon when the fire again broke out and was headed to ward other homes north of there. Attended Meeting at Avoca Twenty women from the Congre gational church of Weeping Water attended a fellowship meeting of the women's organizations of the Syracuse, Paisley, Avoca and Weep ing Water Congregational churches at Avoca last Thursday afternoon. The Weeping Water women were in charge of the program. These meetings, under the direc tion of Mrs. Ole Olsen, district chair man, have proved to be of great ben efit educationally and have become a meeting place where problems, if any, may be discussed, and there may be an interchanging of ideas, and plar.s made for the woman's work in the future. Club Now Has 40 Members The new Townsend club, of more than forty members, is becoming a thriving, wide-awake club. Their meeting last week was a covered dish dinner and a get acquainted evening, with speakers from out of town. Owing to a misunderstanding on the part of many of the object of the Townsend clubs, various points have been cleared and a better un derstanding makes for better work. Some have caught the phrase, "Two hundred per mouth" and believe that to te the main objective of the Town- send Club, when in reality two hun dred is only a maximum figure which perhaps never will be reached. They are hoping, however, for perhaps $50 per month at first, with the know ledge that that must all be spent during the month in which it is re ceived. Faith has been known to remove mountains and the faith of the mem bers of the Townsend club is grow ing greater each year. Married Last Tuesday Mrs. Gladys Henegar Little and Lawrence Eidenmiller were united in marriage at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Hene gar on Taesday of last week.

They will make their home near Nehawka on a farm. Enjoyable P. E. 0. Meeting Chapter BT, P. E. O. met Friday afternoon at the home of Miss Edith Clizbe. with Miss Anna flubbard as assistant hostess.

Mrs. Hess gave a very interesting and inspiring report of the P. E. O. Supreme convention held at Houston Texas, October 10 to 13. Inter-Church Brotherhood Meets. Last Monday, the second Monday of the month was held the regular meeting of the Brotherhood, com posed of the men members of the c hurches of Weeping Water. As usual they had an excellent program and Bible School Sunday, November 19th "Warnings and Promises" Matt. 7:1-14. This chapter is the conclusion of the Sermon on the Mount, and ends with a number of miscellaneous sayings and metaphors. It will be very difficult to avoid controversies in a class, if all would speak their mind on the different sayings, and little good would be accomplished; so we must concentrate on the more essential teachings. "Judge not" does not mean that no judgment should be rendered that is what courts are for. But Jesus speaks to his disciples and followers . . . they are different than the world, and must not pass judgment before they have gathered all the facts in the case. A tree is known by the fruit it bears. The mote and beam are a meta phor, meaning lesser and larger faults in man. The warning is against the faultfinder, who neglects to look into hi swon life, where greater faults may be found than in his neighbor. Jesus calls him a hypo crite not sincere deceiver. A self examination will disclose that every man will find enough in his own life to correct, so he will have little time to correct the faults in others. Any way, he lacks the right motive, to correct another, that is love. A further warning is what we say about our holy religion, and to whom we speak! We must tell the good news to the world; but few would understand, if told of our experience in conversation, the life we live in Christ with God, the intimate prayer life of the Christian these things only the spiritual-minded can dis cern them; the worldly minded man would ridicule, sneer and probably blaspheme. Be careful when and what and to whom we speak about the most holy things of our Chris. tian experience. The promise as to our prayer life, Jesus says, must be progressive. Ask! Seek! Knock! Here is where most people fail. It means a persistence, a hanging-on, like Jacob, when he cried: "I will not let thee go, except thou bless me." (Gen. 32:26). Again we find the friend in Luke 11:5-9, who per sisted and received. That is what Jesus meant when he said: "Ask, Seek, Knock." The promise is they shall receive; that ought to be a great incentive to pray, and a great encouragement to fervent prayer. Jesus says: "Those that ask re ceive; the seeker will find, he that knocks, to him it shall be opened. What a glorious promise. Then why doubt God? He is true and faithful. a very fine supper. The next meet ing will be held at the Methodist church the Becond Monday - in De cember, when they will have the members of the Weeping Water high school football team as guests. The meeting last Monday was held at the Congregational church. The new of ficers were Installed, Fred Allen, president and A. J. Patterson, secretary. Jamesons to Return The Cyrus Livingstons moved last Monday to their new home which they purchased last spring. It is the farm formerly owned by William Spangler, north of town. The farm home formerly occupied by the Liv ingstons will be remodeled and the owner, Bert Jameson and wife, of Omaha, have moved there. Weeping Water and vicinity will welcome the Jamesons back to our midst, as they lived here so long that they always seem to be a part of our community. Struck Down by Car in West Mrs. May L. Towle, of Lincoln, met death early Wednesday in a traffic accident at Long Beach, Cali fornia, when Btruck by an automo bile driven by a Long Beach youth, who was exonerated of blame. The deceased lady, who was 66, and the former wife of Sgt. Frank i Towle of the Lincoln police force, had left Lincoln only a week ago by automobile for California to spend the winter with her sister, Mrs. George W. Towle and husband, who go there each winter from Weeping Water. She had been a Lincoln resident for about 40 years.

RUG FOR SALE A good as new French Wilton ruj, size 8x12, in excetional fine condi tion. Phone 44 for : appointment to see it. Lesson Study! By L. Neitzel, Murdock, Neb. Then we see God as a Father. Where is there a father who would not withhold from a child things that are harmful, however hard it may cry for them. The father knows best what is good for the child. So is God often withholding things from his children, because if granted they would not be appreciated the child is not ripe for them. Are all pray ers answered? Yes, some positive and some negative. "No" is an an swer as well as "Yes." Trust the Father, he knows best; he will only give good gifts. We can take an ex ample from our own fathers they would not give us what we ask, if it would be harmful to us. Now Jesus sums up all his say ings in what is commonly called .the "Golden Rule." If man lives up to that, he has fulfilled the law and the prophets. But is that enough? Will that save a man? Is God satis fied with that? Any man can live up to that rule and not be a Chris tian. Many moralists boast of such a life; the praying Pharisee in the temple was such a man, so was the '.rich young ruler. Jesus has more to say on this matter: "Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them that despitefully use you and persecute you." God's children are governed by a higher law the law of Love. Verses. 13 and 14 bring home to every manjKitntz put Qn a pancake feed last this fact that he i9 called upon to'-,. , . 41l Ti,-wta itnHnm chose the way he wants to go thru life, and meet God at the end of the road. As man has the free will to chose, he assumes the responsibil ity for his acts. Narrow and straight the way and the gate which lead to eternal life and joy and peace. The broad way, the wide door, go in the opposite direction. It is not the easy way to follow Christ, it means selfdenial, a giving up of worldly pleasures. On Broadway you find the dance halls, theatres, bars, the movies the white way all leading down ward. It's easy going is it? Look at the wrecks by the wayside, the suicide, murderer, gangster, drunk-, ard, the licentious and at the end of the road? "Hell hath enlarged herself and opened her mouth with out measure; and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoiceth shall descend into it." (Isa. 5:14). "But the path of the just Is as the shining light that shineth more and more unto the per fect day." (Prov. 4:18). Man must make a choice there are only two ways, t'nless be choses the narrow way with its limitations, the broad way will be his lot.

The auto was almost en tirely demolished. Just after they had been injured another car came along and the injured men impor tuned the C8r to take them to a doctor, but they were refused and told that the members of the other did not have time as they had to hurry or the liquor house at Union v.ould be closed and they could not fet any liquor. It would seem that the occupants cf the second car muit !iuve thought they were needing tho ririf pretty br.d. However, the in jured men got to the doctor and had their injuries dressed. Visited Golden Rod Oil Well. Many people of Nehawka and vi cinity were over near Murray last Sunday where they visited and saw in operation the drilling at the Gol demod oil well, which is now some 1.200 feet deep and were curious as to the different kinds of earth, rocks and sand which is passed through. Verncr Lundberg and Clif ford Trotter were over and found hundreds of curious people with all kinds of questions and ideas as to how the work should be carried on. With the similarity of the different stratas which have been encountered in the drilling would seem to favor the idea that there is a likelihood of soon striking oil. Still no one can tell. Looking to Drill Near Town. With the interest whiih has been generated by the striking of oil at Falls City, there has been encour aged the idea that there is oil near Nehawka and other circumstances seem to favor the idea. For without much ceremony the hole which was drilled on the Shrader farm was abandoned which led to the belief that the prospects were good and that the place would be drilled again when needed as ther are plenty of producing wells at this time over jmucn cf tne country Map Looks Very Favorable. Some years ago a party of univer sity students came to the region of Nehawka and spent a month making surveys and sinking small holes to ascertain the anti cline of the rock formation under the soil. Ralph Sturm was with the party and all of the party would go during the forenoon and make investigations and during the afternoon Mr. Sturm and another man would figure out the depth of the stone and make maps or worn on tnem wnne me other members of the party would still investigate We had the privilege of looking at a copy of the maps made which shows a dome running northwest of Nehawka. also there are a number copies of this map at the offices in Lincoln. From these sur veys it would look favorable for oil in this neighgorhood.
