This is a Fish Story
Speaking of fishing, last Tuesday
John T. Porter isaid he had lived in
Minnesota for a number of years and
that he with some other of his
friends, went out one afternoon, and
as soon as they began throwing in
their hooks the fish began to bite,
and in a short time they bad 293 fine
bull heads, and the following morn
ing they went out again and got 16a
more. Now do you know that would
be enough fish to last the writer for
over a week.
Excellent Hatchery
We had the pleasure of visiting
jthe hatchery of Herman Wohlfarth
jon Tuesday of this week and found
ja hatch coming off and which con
tained 1.N0O eggs, and law what a
i lot of fine c hickens. It took both Mr.
Wohlfarth and the good wife to han
dle the chicks when the incubator
was opened. Four and twenty was a
mere nothing there were just hun
dreds of them and fine looking little
j fellows, too. Following the taking
soff or the hatch, we went out and saw
jthe ones that were growing and from
jthe size of the little ones to half
grown, there were certainly a lot of
chickens, all of them scratching vig
orously to stimulate growth into the
'very finest of fries a few weeks hence.
Anyone who is a lover of chickens
and chicken raiding, should drop over
and see the flocks of Mr. and Mrs.
t Wohlfarth.

BIBLE SCHOOL LESSON
For Sunday, May 6th
By M. S. Brlggs
,JfJ.TTJ..J..J.J. Jfc.
Golden Text: "The Son of
Man
came not to be ministered unto, but
to minister and to give hjs life a
ransom for many." Mark 10:45.
Greatness of Christian Service
The great question which comes to1
us all, and many times after the oj-(
portunity has fled, is "Why do we
not understand?" The very Christ,
the Savior of all mankind, came to
this world and lived with the band
of disciples, they going about for
three years and doing good to every
body, healing the sick, even raising
the dead, and stilling the tempest,
and always was he serving mankind
and teaching the ways of the king
rJrtm anil th true wav of living, the
disciples with him. and after being
given power to cast out devils (dev
ils of unbelief, selfishness, greed, hate
and all the sins to which the human
is heirl. to heal all manner of dis
eases and to bring ease and harmony
in their place, and after having been
with the Master for the three years,
and especially Peter, James and
John, seeing him transfigured before
them, they did not comprehend, they
did not understand. They looked
upon the affairs of life, the real true
life in a different way than the Sav
ior of mankind had been trying to
teach them. They saw the other, or
the seamy side of life, and were ani
mated not by the true spirit of the
Master, but by ulterior purposes. In
the instance at hand, under the guid
ance of their mother. Salome, the
wife of Zebedee, they came to the
Master and asked a certain favor
one actuated by selfish motives.
The Request Granted
They asked of the Master to have
seats, one on the right hand and the
other on the left hand of the Savior
in his future home. Then did Christ
asV of them a question also. He said
unto them, "Are ye able to drink of
the cup and to be baptised with the
baptism with which I am baptised?"
and they said. "We are able?" Little
they knew what their request was
to bring them.
When they said we are able to
drink of the cup which you drink of.
they were sealing a compact to be in
deed the very disciples of the Master
in all its fulness, for they were to
verily give their lives for the cause
which the Master himself came from
high heaven to perform for mankind.
Jair.es was the first to pay in full
the devotion of a true disciple, to give
his life for others. Eleven years af
ter this instance did James pour our
his very life and was killed for the
cause which he espoused. John gave
his life, a long and hard struggle,
whirh extended until all others of
the little band had paid in full their
loyalty to the cause which animated
the Master to leave heaven that he
might serve mankind and become an
example of the love of the Father.
Many vicissitudes came to the life
of the beloved John before the weary
end came. They said "We are able"
and demonstrated it in a way they
little dreamed.
The True Minister
We have heard of preachers all our
lives, some eloquent, and some not
gifted with much gab. but withal
true disciples of the Master never
theless. However, it is not so much
what one does as the spirit which
animates the doer. Man may live in
the eyes of the world, a blameless life,
and do the things which are requir
ed as the schedule of a Christian and
not be animated by the love of the
Savior, and it availeth him nothing,
for it was indeed and-in truth that
"tod so loved the world that he gave
his only begotten Son, that whoso
ever belioveth on Him may have ever
lpsting life." It is the cause away
behind the act which makes it great.
The success which we so much envy
and desire to have does not come from
the single effort for the achieving of
our desires. Wa must count the cost
and he willing to pay it. We gain
the success in life by the way we do
the little things, and with each pass
ing moment, a decision comes to us,
and we decide either for the right .ir
the wrong, and whether it looks
good or bad to the world, we must
do the thing that is sure to be meas
ured by the love we bear for our
neighbor, whether he, as the world
looks at it. is our friend or foe.
It has been said that when a man
is true to God and himself, he can
not be false to any man. Making
mueh money, accomplishing what the
world counts some great deed is not
necessarily success, but the living of
the good life and helping the fellow
rubbing his elbow against ours along
the way.
Judging the Twelve Tribes
The matter of judging the twelve
tribes of Israel, spoken of by Christ,
was not the passing of sentence on
them for some fracture of duty or
allegiance as the world looks at it.
The judges of Biblical history were
not alone passing on a question when
one was to pay penance for the
wrongful act. We are our own judges
and we sentence ourselves according
as we do for the question is before
and as we do so we live or die.
If we do the things which make for
life, peace, joy, good health and the
best for our fellow man, then we are
passing sentence on ourselves that is
good for eternal life and service to
the Father, the Son and the Holy
Spirit aud our fellows. But what
shall it profit a man if he shall gain
the whole world and lose bis own
soul.
For the grabbing of the shadows
of greed, ambition and place and
walking over the heads, the rights
and the hearts of our fellow man is
inded passing sentence on ourselves

ship of the heights and distances
which has won world-wide acclaim,
passed into history Monday as Col.
Charles A. Lindbergh brought his
cherished Spirit of St. Louis to earth
at its last airport.
"We" participated in one last long
hop. The boyish and tannpd trans
atlantic flyer said the 725 miles from
St. Louis to Boiling Field had been
spanned in four hours and 58 min
utes. Thev came to be separated. In ac
cordance with his promise, Lindbergh
will turn his silvered partner over
to the Smithsonian institution. It
will take its place there along with
exhibits of outstanding American ac
complishments which influenced the
thought and actions of times past. 1
Graceful Landing.
Thirty army plants were "on the
line" at Polling fit-Id when the Spirit
of St. Louis suddenly was heard over
head, as though to receive a royal
member in their midst and to honor
this last gesture for aviation. Two
other planes here, while en route to
Langley Field for maneuvers, flanked
the incomer as it soared toward this
landing field. They swept aside as
Lindbergh gracefully planed to earth.
He taxied the Spirit of St. Louis
to a hangar door, sat quietly a mo
ment and then gathered a blue
sweater and some baggage before
stepping out. He wore a gray suit
and a flying helmet. hTe helmet
was removed while be p.s-d obliging
ly for photographers.
The plane was put jurt inside the
hangar. Lindbergh walked slowly
around it. looking it over. He show
ed by his expression what he woub'i
not say beyond. "Yes. I am sorry."
He said the plane had flown more
than 40.000 miles, and could "carry
on" that far again.

By the side of the Spirit of St.

not to let anyone touch the ship. ,
The other was Serg. Roy W. Hooe,
chief mechanic at Boiling field, who
had supervised care of the plane's
engines on its several visits here. A
rough-hewn, scarred-faced veteran,
the sergeant stood at a little distance
from the plane with glistening eyes.

HEAVY FIGHTING IN CHINA
Shanghai. April 30. Heavy fight
ing between the north and the south,
with its characteristic puzzling ebb
and flow, continues. The immediate
objective of the struggle is for the
possession of Esinan, capital of Shaji
tung province, lying about 200 milts
to the south of Peking. Both sides
are said to be suffering heavy losses.
The southerners are reported to
have pierced the northerners' defense
line north of Tainanfu and to have
cut the Shantung railway and cap
tured Chowstun. Ten thousand south
ern troops are engaged in operations
to the south and east of Tsinan
which they hope to occupy within a
few days.
The presence of Japanese troops
in Shantung is causing much un
easiness to the nationalists (south
erners.) Shanghai. April 30. Execution of
communists is taking place at Han
