Calamities often are more a bles
sing than otherwise. Fires come and
destroy our homes and other prop
erty, storms come and devastate our
farms and wieck property, and we
feel that it is a great calamity, and i
truly It is. but after such things
come to the individual or the com
munity, we grow bigger and better.
Murray suffered less than a year ago
a fire that destroyed much of the
business portion of this citv. and it

! people here were able to gather them -
selves together and begin the re-
building of the devastated portion of
this fair little city.
Better stores have taken the place
of the ones consumed, and the city
of Murray is now better than it was
before. Still the town does not stop
its progress, for Uncle S. G. Latta
has broken ground for the erection
of a new modern five room bungalow,
which he will hasten towards com
pletion as rapidly as possible. This
will be a good Eddition to the resi
dential portion of the city. Ralph
Kennedy has the contract for erec
tion of this new building, which
is an assurance that the structure
will be well built and one which will
please the most fastidious. J. A. Scot
ten is also erecting a new all year
garage for Frank Mrasek. one which
iwill be heated so that it will be warm
in the coldest weather, so that it will
be so work can be done in the place.

BIBLE SCHOOL LESSON f j
Sunday, March 18 th.
By M. S. Bripgs
Golden Text: "Keep thy heart
with all diligence. For out of it are
the issues of life. Proverbs 4:25.
Christianity's Ring True
Live the very life, be true to the
impulses which dominate your very
uature, for you cannot get by by a
pretense. You must be true, for it
has been said that one who is true
to his God and honest with his own
inner being cannot be false to any
man. o one can uu,u io u.edi
himself in any wise, one may often
- -.1 j x A.
j kid himself into sonu t hi ng which
s uetter ieau mm
true. Mere formality counts for
nothing, to play fast and loose and
hot and cold, will in the end bring
you to trouble.
If you have a friend that, that
friend is worth sacrificing for, you
cannot afford not to be loyal to a
true friend. Ceremonies count for
nothing, pretenses are mere sham,
and not the reflection from an honest
mind. Devious are the ways of a
man who is not true to himself. As
in the days in which we live many
pretend one thing, and do some
thing else. When one pretend3 to
be a prohibitionist and had a case
of old Cognac in his cellar for spec
ial occasions, that man is not true
to himself, his God, his fellow man
or his country. There are many oth
er instances of like nature. Learn
that you cannot deceive your self,
your Maker, and it is with difficulty
that you are able to deceive your
neighbor for any length of time, so
it was in the days which our lesson
is set.
Greed for gold and a vr.in show
had at that time corrupted society.
The people had failed to follow fully
the Lord, and had substituted in the
place of allegiance, a form of wor
ship, which in truth was a mere pre
tense. They had placed pretense and cer
tain forms of rites above the very
commands of the scriptures. For
when the scriptures command it is
ours to obey, and where the scrip
tures are silent, we arp not expected
to nwkp applications. Ritualism, had
usurped the obeying of the direct
command.
Among the things which the an-
cient Jews were adhering to in place
ionowing me ct'ieunuiv hit- -iu-io,
not that their hands were dirty or
impure. Jjut according to their cere
mony and the proscription of the eld
i ers, they were unclean. The Mas
i ter had been throwing the mere for
jmalities and ceremonies to the winds,
but was following the true spirit of
the Father, and the disciples, observ

Are we Christians enough to take
the Master in earnest and to be as
frank as we expect our fellow men to
be with us. Christ was earnest and
sincere in his actions and he tame in
earnestness and sincerity from His
home in heaven to reclaim by paying
with his life which was without sin
or blemish, for our worthless lives in
order that we might be free; then
why not be earnest and loyal to
that principle of salvation.
Last Sunday we visited the Bible
school of the Disciples of Christ at
Murray, and it seemed a pleasure to
be with the class which we had cn
leavored to teach for the year; that
we had been meeting with them. We
were pleased that the clat,s had elect
ed for their teacher Mrs. J. F. Bren
del, whom we are sure will make the
class an excellent teacher. 1 wish to
say to all members of this class, "As
sist your teacher as much as ycu can,
for she will have a lot of work to
do. You will find much satisfaction
in being one of the workers and in
helping to make this the banner class
in this portion of the state. All get
to work and make this class help the
Bible school, the church and the
community and extend its influence
to the state and nation."
