DAKOTA CITY SCHOOL NOTES
Marguerite Shreiner, Principal
The State Inspector of Schools vis
ited us last week.
We defented the Sioux City sec
ond team in an excellent game of
busket ball hero last Wednesday
evening. The score was 29 to 19. A
return game will be played on the
Morningside floor March 1st. Coach
Fenenga of the Sioux City High
School paid our boys some splendid
compliments on their playing.
There were many absences last
week because of the bad weather.
The boys play Oakland and Lyons
th 3 week, both games being played
away from home. Our next game
will be played with Ponca here on
February 28th, unless we arrange a
return game with Oakland on a
week night. ,
Lutheran Church 'Notes
By Rev. C. It. Lowe.
There comes to our table the
church paper and it has an item in
it on "profitless preaching." That
there is too much of it. We have
been so used to substitutes that some
preachers have got the notion there
is one for the gospel. There are
some who try to preach on the popu
lar themes and get their "hiatenal
out of the war news and books. They
touch the popular mind and give the
hearers the news and discussion of
the hour. There are those who want
that thing. It does not tend to
righteousnous nor to godliness and
their consciences will rest easy under
it" and they are .satisfied. Their sins
do not burden their consciences, and
they seem to be good and right.
But Jesus said "Feed my sheep."
And to give the war news and its
discussion is like feeding a horse
wheat straw. There is some food
in it, hut it takes as much energy
to get it out as the straw affords.
It may be alright for an occasional
t discourse to interpret the signs of
the times in the light of the bible,
but the ,thing that the church is to
do thru the ministry is to preach
Christ and Him crucefied for the sins
of the world. A preacher can in
terpret the times so much there is
no time left for the preaching of
sin and salvation. Straw is cheap,
but the real feed is not. The gospel
is the power of God unto righteous
ness and it brings forth fruit unto
repentance, a discourse upon civic
and national duty may give some di
restion to some people as to what
ought to be, done, but there is such
a wide divergence of opinion and
every man thinks his is as good as
the other man's, that he does not
appreciate it. But when the prea
cher 'preaches the gospel, and has
the authority of the Almighty be
hind him, there is no room for dis
pute save with God. The president
tried to instruct the voters how to
vote, but it did not go, and when the
preacher leaves the Word of God and
preaches national and civic funct
ions, he is getting out of his sphere
of proper action. The pastor at
Salem has at times felt an inclina
tion to take up some public matters
and discuss them, but has tried to
keep to the Gospel messages, tho
the other would better strike the
popular ear. It is the Gospel we
preach, sin in the heart, and redem
ption through Christ. Wo may have
ideas on othter things, but they are
not to be discussed from the pulpit.
It was not possible last Sunday to
have the communion service, or any
service pt all, because of the con
dition of tho roads, and wo will an
nounce this service for next Sunday.
It Is not a good thing to put olF
such a service, wo know, but in as
much as thoro would not have been
n fair representation of the congre
gation, had we had servico, It may
, be best after all. The pastor con
ducted the funeral of Mr. Oscar
Lehman of Homer. It was necess
ary to go down Saturday night to be
there.
Many will wonder what was done
with the Midland College affair in
moving the institution to Fremont,
Nebr., to which we referred some
time ago in this column. The
board has taken the matter under
advisement and has a committee to
Investigate the proposition and law
yers looking into legal aspect of the
matter. That is about all they could
do, The mattor will be definitely
Hettled at the spring meeting of the
board,
Repair Machinery Now
The overhauling of fa.m machinery
und making repaua before tho field
seasons opens is being urged by ag
riculture engineering extension wor
kers of the University of Nebraska.
Blacksmiths are not very busy at this
season or the year, ami it Is a soml
time to have plows and discs sharpen
. ed, new sections put in mower sick
les, the lister and planter repaired
and regulated, and in fact all innch
of new parts, repairs and regula
tions. It Is time to order repairs
for tho grain harvester, for it may
take two or three month? o obtain
new parts. Time devoted to mak
ing repairs now may mean a
saving later on.
