Stephen Full of Faith
The cross of Jesus the Christ has
passed. He has been crucified and
is risen again from the dead, that the
world might be saved. A new era has
come. The Master has ascended to
heaven to be with the Father and the
band which l:.e organized are to carry
on his work on earth. At the time
of the reparture of Christ, He com
manded the Disciples to remain at
Jerusalem until they should be en
dued with power from on high and
they remained until the day of pen
tecost, which was the fiftieth day, and
as they were alf of one accord in one
place, they were blessed and Peter
preaching, being full of the faith,
there were some two thousand added
to the church which was formed and
which before had but one hundred
and twenty members. The church
continued to grow and increase, but
it was persecuted by the Jews and
the Jewish church, and many became
members, and as the church grew
there were many people who were
poor who became members as well as
some who were rich.
That the church might prosper,
many had given much to the church
and out of the pool all were fed. It
was during this time that Annanias
and Saphira his wife conspired to lie
to God and the Holy Spirit, and they
sold their farm and brought a portion
of the money and gave it to the
church, saying it was all and for this
they were stricken dead. This was
not because they did not give their
farm or all the price for which it
was sold, but because they had lied
to the Holy Spirit. The farm was
theirs and they could have kept it if
they had so desired, and when they
had sold it they could have given a
portion of it if they had desired, but
they conspired to deceive the church
and the Holy Spirit and for this they
were killed.
Now there are many who are lying
to the Holy Spirit at this time, and
while the execution is not as spec
tacular as in that rase, it must be
paid in the end.

from Jerusalem in great numbers, al
though many remained, like James
and some of the disciples, while oth

country, but wherever they went they
went preaching Christ and him cruci

In the years after when Saul had
become Paul the Apostle to the Gen
tiles and was arrested and placed in
prison for his testimony for the Lord
Jesus and was being tried before King
Agrippa, he testified that he had kept
the garments of those who had stoned
Stephen and that he had consented to
his death, saying, "and I was stand
ing by when the blood of Stephen
was shed."
Paul said. "I laid waste the homes
of the early Christians, arresting
them and committing them to prison
and killing many."
In much remorse, Paul lived the re-
niaiuder of his life, endeavoring to
Cass County Our Home!
What do you all know about Cass county, Nebraska, with its
nearly seven hundred thousand acres of very productive lands, and
over two thousand happy homes?
The croaker who wants to go some here else had better take
a trip over the county and see what this magnificent garden has to
offer. Streams of water over nearly every portion, and lands which
produce all kinds of fruits and grains. One only needs to go to the
state fair and see the exhibits from this county, and other counties
are much the same. Just now, when driving over the many roads,
one sees the golden brown of the wheat fields which are just now
yielding to the husbandman, a borntiful crop of the very finest of
wheat, which would make a cake ior Charley, or any one else. The
corn is looking fine and is all the way Irom six inches to six feet in
height, just as the tiller has expended or withheld his energies in
culticating. The oats crop, of which a short time ago people were
complaining would not be long enough to cut, is now compelling the
owners to re-order twine.
Take a ride out over the county and you will have a better
opinion of the farmer who grows the grain, for he is an artist and
has painted in natural colors his success over the landscape of Cass
county a county as rich in fertility as the valley of the Nile. And
from his efforts will be produced fcod sufficient to feed many thous
ands of people as well as providing the seed for the planting of an
other crop. Streams of trucks and .trains cr cars are at work all
the time carrying our stock the products of the feed yards of Cass
county to market. Have faith in the land which you have elected
to make your home.
