Four Square Club Starts Year
Yes, Four Square club is beginning
another year with a membership oif
nineteen. With only one member
absent at our first meeting in the

peel a very helpful and interesting
year.

believes in promptness, beun the
meeting at 7:30, which is the sched
uled time for beginning all evenins'
meetings. Our social leader, Mrs. L.
D. Lee is determined to make Music
and Game period interesting but must
overcome her timidity as music di
rector and use that right hand to
guide us in our training for a Music
contest that might be held at the
close of our club year. We did like
the paper bag race.
Our project leaders, Mrs. John
Gakemeier and Mrs. Lacey McDon
ald (who is, beginning her third year

our evening was well spent.

frosty morning do you place six or

Try it this winter. There are fifty
one other suggestions that might in
terest you more than this one.
That part of the lesson dealing
with "Accounts." scares some of us,
but having a simplified method for
keeping accounts, we are starting
this part of the lessons by listing the
number of meals served each day
during the months of October, No
vember and December. Each person
served is counted a meal. Watch our
report and see how we are doing this
part of our lesson.
Five members paid dues, which are
50c per member per year. Seven

Famous Cities cf the Bible
X SAMARIA
Many and strange things are re
corded about Samaria, the capitol of
the ten tribes. Located 42 miles
north of Jerusalem, it was built
about 929 B. C. by Omri, the sixth
king of Israel. The inhabitants were
Berried away to Assyria by Shalmarj
azer. 726 B. C and their place sup
plied by people from Babylon, who
brought their Gods with them.
Let us review a few of the most
prominent incidents that took plate
in Samaria:
In I Kings, 21, we find a story that
has no counterpart in the Bible a
case of utter selfishness and greed.
A r.ian by the name of Naboth had
inherited a piece of ground that join
ed the palace of King Ahab. The
custom of the Jews was not to dis
pose of an inheritance it should re
main in the family. The king covet
ed this piece of ground. When Na-
both refused to sell, and even gave
his reason for refusing, the king be
gun to pout and became petulent
refused to eat, and acted like a spoil
ed child. Then the Queen took a
hand in the matter. She said to him:
"Eat bread and let thine heart be
merry; I will give thee the vineyard
of Naboth." In conspiracy with the
city council of Samaria and two hired
assassins, she brought about the
death of Naboth, and the property
became Ahab's. He did not enjoy it
long, however, for both Ahab's and
Jesebel's blood was licked up by dogs
on this very same piece of ground.
Next we see a sore famine in Sa
maria (II Kings, Chap. 7). When
the famine had reached its limit,
God took a hand in the matter and
made the enemies who besieged the
city furnish an abundance of sup
plies. God moves in a mysterious
way, his wonders to perform.
Now, let us look on a bright pic
ture, an episode that took place in
Samaria -a wonderful revival that is
chronicled in Acts S.
In the persecution that arose after
the death of Stephen, by being ston
ed, the disciples scattered. They did
not give up. but continued to carry
on, going abroad and telling the
story of Jesus and his love. Philip
went north forty miles to the capital
of Israel and preached Christ; being
lull of the Holy Ghost, his word had
power and wrought conviction (we
do not have much of such preaching
today) and the people gave heed to
the word, and the power of God was
present, and the result was that the
devil was routed. He had to give way
to the spirit of God. Miracles were
performed (as Jesus had promised)
(Mark 16:20) and there was great
joy in that city.
Soon the church at Jerusalem
heard of the revival and to confirm
the report, delegated Peter to go and
investigate, who, when he saw what
had taken place, led the young con
verts on, by praying that they might
receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit
as they had received the baptism of
water, a id they received the Holy
Ghost. No man is a Christian in
the full sense of the word until he
has received the Holy Ghost. See
Rom. 5:5 and Rom. 8:9.
We must refer to a Samaritan
woman in this connection, who found
Jesus at Jacob's well; and a revival
followed this incident, which lasted
two days. This must have been a
happy time for Jesus. (John, 4).
Then we have the story of the
"Good Samaritan." (Luke 10:30-37)
and the last one we want to mention
is that one out of ten cleansed lep
ers returned to the :rreat Physician
and said "Thank you." (Luke 17:15
16). And he was a Samaritan.

The paving from the Burlington

customary regulations this stretch of
pavement will have to cure ten days
to two weeks or more, depending on
the beam test of the samples taken
by the inspectors. However, this will
be only a short time and then the
read will be open all the way thru
from Lincoln. While the curing pro-
cess Is taking place a large force of
workmen will be engaged in should
eiing the new roadway and getting
it ready for traffic. The stretch be
