larger crop and that is what
makes farming pay.

appeared through the dark, she im
mediate went after the fire with a
determination to put it out and save
the car, and when she went to queccc
the flames she received some very
severe burns, especially on her right
hand. After having gotten the lire
out, her hand was so badly burned
she could not drive the car and had

come after her and take her home.

as. well as could be expected.
He Sure Killed the Mites
Last Monday, in order to destrov

over the floor of his chicken house
and set it afire, but a? the straw was
rather damp it would not burn, he
then applied a generous quantity of
lamp oil, and when the match was
again applied the conflagration that
resulted also consumed the chicken
house, also we imagine that it hilled
the mites.
0BITUAEY
David James Hoenshell, son of
John and Susanna Hoenshell. was
born July 10, 1842, in South Hunt
ington township. West Moreland
county, Pennsylvania, and died at
the age of S3 years, two months and
six days after a very brief illness,
having taken violently sick only
Thursday before he died. Very few
except the family and close friends
knews of his critical condition which
after the rst few days rendered him
semi-unconscious till the epirit took
it ight at 5:33 a. m. Wednesday,
September 16.
He was the last of his father's
family to die. eleven brothers and
three sisters having "preceded him.
He and his brother, Israel, were
twins and the youngest of the fam
ily. On April 2C, 1S6S, at Davenport.
la.. Mr. Hoenshell was united in
marriage to Miss Rebecca Hartman
of East Huntington township. West
Moreland county, Pennsylvania.
To this union were born seven
sons and one daughter. Willie at
the age of three years, passed on be
fore them in the year 1S7.S.
Mrs. Hoenshell. known well to
this entire community, preceded her
husband in death on September 9,
1922.
We pav them tribute today as v.e
recall their life of devotion to their
children who are each one a credit
to the home and also their life's pro
fession. Known as the railroad fam
ily, they have each one made good
and occupy railroad positions of trust
and great responsibility.
Father Hoenshell enlisted in tne
service of his country with Company
B. 142nd Pennsylvania o!unteers,
West Moreland county, Pennsylvania.
He fought in the battles of Bull Run,
Gettysburg and the Battle of the
Wilderness.
Following his honorable discharge
as he journeyed homeward his atten
tion was called to the following lines
on a grave stone:
"Remember, man, as you pass by,
As you are now, so once was l;
As I am now so you will be.
Prepare for death and follow me."
These lines made a lasting impres
sion upon our brother and you can
read them now on his tombstone ior
he wanted them to live on and help
someone else.
Mr. and Mrs. Hoenshell came to
Nebraska over 45 years ago and in
that early day took their place in
Christ's church and always endeav
ored to live the Christian life. They
were always charitable and consid
erate of the failings of others, al
ways ready to be a friend to the
friendless and render help to those in
distress and as men have remarked,
without an enemy on eartlK
They were not only blessed with
health, strength and wisdom in rear
ing to manhood and womanhood
their own seven children but also
their son, Marion's four children, who
are today young men and women
among us.
Besides these four so near to them,
twelve other grandchildren mourn
their loss as also the daughter, Mrs.
James Johnson of Blair, Nebraska,
and the living sons as follow: Mar
ion of Alliance, Neb.; Dee of Fre
mont. Neb.; Erie. Onie and Ray of
Omaha, Neb., and Joe of Greenwood,
Neb.
"In life and death all travel toward
God's throne.
His hands reach out to draw us
gently home;
He, at our journey's end, gives
peaceful rest;
His hears the only homeland of the
blest."
Funeral services were held at the
home on September 19 conducted by
the Rev. C. A. Park and interment
jmade in the Greenwood cemetery

The Church and Missions.
The missions of the church and
missions and the church. The people
make the church under the guidance
and blessing of God. 'the Father, the
Creator of the world, through the
life and death of His Son, Jesus, the
'Christ, a brotherhood of the chil
dren of men. A devine institution,
having its purpose the blessing of
mankind o nearth and leading them
to that life eternal in heavan and
of pleasing God, the Father, and his
son Jesus Christ, whom he has sent to
dwell with us that our lives might
be moulded into his likeness, that
we may live in harmony together
here, which shall be a symbol of
that life everlasting in that other
and eternal world unto which we
may grow by obediance to the com
mands of the creator whose we rae
and for whose love we were created
in his own image..
Such is the church we are prone
to conjure.
The mission of the church and the
missions ana the church, our lessons
for the past quarter, when Paul with
Silas, Luke and Timothy were es
tablishing churches and instruct
ing its members in the way of life
and the church and its mission to
the world of today, gives the mission
of the church plainly.
Paul the Missionary.
Paul, inubed with an intense love
for the Master whom he had so re-
centyl hated and whose people he
had persecuted, to rectify his former
acts went about telling the story of
the Christ and his mission of love
to the world, a love so great that,
as John has put it, "God so loved the
world that he gave his only begotten
son that whosoever believith on him
might not perish but have everlast
ing life." That he came to the earth,
lived among men blessing with His
kindly ways, and showing them the
way to life. Then giving His life to
purchase theirs from sin.
When Paul and his companion?
told in their simple straightforward
manner of the life of the Savior, con
secrated to man by the great love of;
surrender of that life to rideem man,
there in rebellion to Him. The people
were won to the Saviors cause and
many churche3 were established
which in there trun became mission
ary with the years. Thus have many
millions espoused the cause of the
Lowly Nazarene, and as all believers
have spread forth ".Like a sea of
Glory spread from pole to pole."
The church has grown and pros
pered and with its growth the world
has been blessed, man has emmerged
from Barbarism and heathendom to
civilization and enlightenment. From
the savage state, the state of the cave
man of the stone age, man by the
refining influence of love and justice
has come to point where compara
tive safety of life, of home, of family
and property exist, but where the un
regenerated and unredeemed assert
itself, when lapse into the former
condition occurs and man is made to
mourn and Angels to weep, because
of mans sins. When mankind walks
in the way which the Christ has come
to lead, safety, good government,
love, prosperity, good health and hap
piness have been the result. When
the people have forgotten God. and
relapsed into sin and not followed
the lives which the Father through
His Son had marked out famines have
come, pestulence has walked at noon
day. There has been no security at
night, murders have occurred. The
sacredness of the home and the mar
riage relations have been invaded
and transgressed with wars and
trouble on every hand, which is the
persecution of sin and death.
Those who have sown to the wind
are reaping by the whirlwind for by
sin comes death and when men shall
forget God and not reverence the
source of life, life here and life
eternal there is no other way than
to suffer for the offense, opposition
to the way of life and non-belief,
when the world had grown wicked
the punishment of the flood was
sent and many other catastrophes
that man might be reclaimed.
The wages of sin is death, but the
gift of God is eternal life. "The last
enemy to be destroyed is death."
The present day sees many thousand
murders-dealt each year, many more
dying by diseases, the result of sin,
still many more thousands because of
the sins of lust, avarice, greed, hat
red, violence and envy. When the
people shall forsake their sins and
return to God.
To honor, believe and serve Him
then will peace, security and health
return to the race for disease, sick
ness and death in all forms are none
other than the result directly or in
directly of sin and disobedience.
The church was brought about as
a way creating that proper relation
ship between God and man which
instructs man how to live and pro
tect MM in the enjoyment of peace,
home, health, happiness and love. The
church in another phase is the asso
ciation together of the true believers
of God for the promotion of good
will among men for the carrying of
the message of the Christ to the
world and teaching truly the way of
the better life here and the attain
ing of that life eternal which shall
forever be a praise and a benediction
to the Father of the universe in if
only a very minute fraction of His
great plan.
The security of the loved ones. the.
sanctity of the home, the very pro
tectness of life and that happiness
which the Father guarantees to those
that love and obey Him will come
when people shall follow the Christ.
Christ came, lived and died, giving
His life as His portion, leaving the
church to carry on His work. Now
it comes to every true Christian of
whatever faith by co-operation in
his church and with all churches snd
ChriEtians and by personal evangel
ism and carrying the message one-
A House is not
a c7tome
sinless everything that goes into it tends to
