Enjoyed Fine Meeting.
The Order of Eastern Star met last
Wednesday afternoon at the home
of Mrs. Henry A. Tool where they en
joyed a very fine social afternoon
and looked after some business cZ
the order. Mrs. Tool was assistant
hostess in the serving by Mesdames

Wolters of Arlington, Rev. G. A.
Zoch, their pastor at Trinity Luth
eran church, Conradt Baumgartner,
Conrad Wehrman and Mrs. Rex Pe
ters, all telling incidents of the fifty
years of happy married life of this
couple. The occasion was enlivened
by the sparkling repartee of the well
qualified toastmaster. Following the
addresses, Mrs. Gakemeier respond
ed with thanks for the good things
which had been said but more so
for the blessings which had come to
them and to the giver of all good
and perfect gifts. All the children
of this estimable eouple were pres
ent and assisted in making the day
one of the very best.
In the expression of the spirit of
thankfulness, Mrs. Gakemeier could
have said:
"We have lived our lives from year
to year,
With forward faces and unreluctant
souls.
Not hurrying to, nor turning from
the goals
Nor mourning for the things which
have disappeared
In the dim past, nor holding back
in fear,
From what the future veils, but
with whole
And happy heart3 that pay their
toll
To youth and age and travels on
with cheer."
For such has been their lives and
they are living exponents of the
ouiet life which seeks at all times
to do something good for their fel-
lowmen and refrain from doing any
evil.
Pilgrims Visit Near Home
The Pilgrims had a very pleasant
day last Sunday, which was spent
with the M. D. church at Elmwood.
We had the privilege of teaching a
large and very interesting Bible class,
which proved a blessing to all. After
Sunday school we enjoyed a very
fine service conducted by the pastor,
interspersed with music rendered by
a fine choir, where their beautiful
pipe organ added greatly to the
charm of the service. We shall go
again.
In the evening a fine program was
given under the auspices of the W.
C. T. U. of Elmwood, at the Chris
tian church, it being a union service
of three chuyrches. Attorney Gen
eral C. A. Sorensen delivered a very
forceful address on law enforcement,
which was well received. An inter
esting part of the program was the
pageant entitled "A Patriotic Wed
ding," in which John Barleycorn, the
home destroyer, was given what was
coming to him, when our sheriff,
Bert Reed, arrested him, put hand
cuffs on him and put him where he
belongs where he could do no mis
chief. L. NEITZEL.
In sorrow will he eat his daily bread,
constantly in war with thorns and
thistles and all kinds of weeds to
fight; (3) He shall eat the herbs of
the field, whereas in the garden he
only had to reach out and eat of the
trees. All his descendants labor and
earn their livelihood by the sweat of
their brow under this course. (4) See
how justice is tempered with mercy.
That man might not eat of the tree
of life and remain in this wretched
condition, God drives him out of the
garden (man did not care to leave
his beautiful home) to till the
ground (the blessings of labor) and
a guard was placed at the gate to
prevent his return.
They lost their beautiful home,
the favor of God, peace of mind, the
joy of companionship the future
holds only pain, sorrow, unprofitable
labor for them. "The wages of sin
is death." (Rom. 6:23).
The separation between God and
man is complete; the wrath of God
is aroused by unfaithful man. Who
can heal the breach? Who will vol
unteer and satisfy the demand of the
law? Who will pay the ransome for
man's soul? Who CAN pay this
debt? We shall see.
To be continued next week.

lent couple and which was followed

Two Mountains of the Bible
V Genesis 3:8
The Judgment Day: Retribution
came quick. God was not far away.
He could not interfere nor prevent
Adam and Eve from breaking the
law; they were free to choose their
own conduct; life and death had
been placed before them. The law
was unmistakably clear they under
stood it. And so, today, obedience to
God must be a free will act, not im
pelled by fear or force.
Jehovah made his usual evening
call. When formerly Adam and Eve
had gone forth to meet him, now
they could not be seen, hence God
called: "Adam, where art thou?" and
Adam, from his hiding place behind
a tree answered, "I heard thy voice in
the garden and I was afraid because
I was naked, and hid myself." Sin
brings shame and terror. Man can
not hide away from God. The prophet
Hosea (10:8) sees Israel in the pres
ence of God, their sins uncovered;
they stare them in the face; in con
sternation they begin to cry out to
the mountains "to cover us," and to
the hills "to fall on us. Jesus quotes
this passage. (Luke 23:80.)
Jehovah holds court, calls the guil
ty before Him; in questioning Adam
he makes him; confess his guilt.
Adam tries to evade the direct
question; tries to shift it onto the
woman, but indirect, on God. God
gave him the woman, the woman
gave him, the fruit. Eve saw by this
time that it was useless to deny her
guilt, but uses the last excuse, "The
serpent beguiled me, and I did eat."
Let us note here: (1) The record
before us is the history of the first
sin; (2) The first sin is also the spec
imen sin all others are copies of it;
(3) Besides this, the first sin is also
the infectious sin. Let us now listen
to the sentence of the guilty parties.
The serpent receives a curse. Where
the serpent before had feet, now God
ssys: "Because thou hast done this,
thou art cursed above all cattle, etc."
No questioning here. The curse is
still on the serpent, and will remain
until the seed of the woman, Jesus
Christ, shall bruise his head, which
act took place on the cross of Calvary.
This curse put this dethroned angel
below all living creatures; hated,
dispised, destroyed wherever found;
pointing to the time' and place re
corded in Matthew 25:10 and Rev.
20:10. This is also the first prom
ise. The next to be sentenced is the
woman. Behold the changed condi
tions. Much pain, suffering and sor
row will be her lot; bound to the
man and where they were before con
genial companions, the man shall
henceforth3 rule over her. The wom
acn's sphere is here clearly stated
she is to be a mother, teacher of her
household and compannion for the
man.
The last to be sentenced is the
rsaa. (1) God chides him of havlnag
listened his wife; henceforth the
ground is cursed because of it; (2)
