The Christian and His Bible Acts S: 26-39. Anyone contemplating a journey these days, is supplied with road maps and they are studied before and on the way all of which is a wise thing to do, if one wishes to arrive at their destination safely. Especially is this true where one has never been over the road before. Ilere now, we visualize man.' 9.11& is on a journey from time into eter nity; he has never gone this way be fore. Yet most cf the neonle todav. who are all traveling that same road, take no time to inquire about the way cr study the road map. They are just drifting along, careless and indiffer ent hoping to land somewhere which they surely will! Just doing nothing until they find their boat in the rapids and carried over the precipice. The traveler to eternity (which we all are) has been given a road map and guide that, if he will take the same precaution that he does when going on a long journey over unknown reads, will guide him safely through to his destination. It is the Bible! Sorry to say, that so few, even pro fessed Christians know so little of O d'.; word, find no time to study their Road Map. are not acquainted with the way, hence have such a hard time ir; life, make no progress, take the wrong road, have to retrace their way, losing time which cannot be made up, and come to the marriage fc3 t r.nd find the "door shut." Oi:r lesson shows us God's wonder ful leading and guiding in the lives of individuals, who are in earnest to find the way to God and jcy and true haj-.piness. A colored man (a prose lite Jew) goes 150 miles to church. When there, does he find satisfaction for h:s hungry and thirsty soul? How oft is that the case today. Jesus said, "Give ye them to eat" and what "hash" is often offered to men who are hastening along the highway to eternity, and have not been shown the proper route nor been given food for strength. But our colored brother can do the next thing, buy a road map a Bible and see how eagerly he is studying it. lie needs an interpreter. God has one ready. Philip the evange list, has just had a great revival in Samaria his soul is on fire he is anxious and ready to go and do any thing for his Lord. He receives orders to go on a lonely read some CO to 70 miles. Having worked hard in Samaria, (led rewards his worker with more power. There was nothing of the spirit of Jonah about Philip. Obedient to the call he does not question the Lord, but goes. A fine example to follow. As Philip goe3 along the dustry road, making sure he is on the right road, he sees a chariot with quite a retinue of servants fol lowing him. Finally they come to the lonely traveler, who beholds a per son traveling in state who is the treasurer cf the Queen of Meroe TO ENTERTAIN LADIES Mrs. Evelyn Sheldon of Nehawka will give a tea at her home on Fri day afternoon, October 12th, to the democratic central committeewomen. Mrs. Sheldon, who is chairman of the women's division of the democratic party in Cass county, will present plans at that time for the perfection of a Democratic Women's club in Cass county. SUFFERS FROM GRIPPE Mrs. Daid Rutherford, who has been suffering from the grippe and flu for the past several weeks, is now at her duties at the law offices of William A. Robertson, but is still suffering a great deal from the ef fects of the annoying malady and which makes it difficult to look after her usual work. A dress reformer advocates cut ting men's shirt sleeves off at the elbow and we don't see any great objection to the idea. You can't get anything on the cuff any more, any way. Lesson Study! By L. Neitzel, Murdock. Neb. Abessinia today. Philip is perplexed. Shall he step aside and let the chariot go by? The spirit that had led him thus far says: "Go near and join thy self to this chariot." Philip begins to see the light why God has sent him down this desert road. Thus it always is. He hears the passenger of the chariot read aloud the prcphet Isaiah (Chapter 53:7-8). This man found time to read his Bible a busy man will utilize every spare moment to read the Bible. The morning paper can wait take time to read your Bible for in it God speaks to you makes known his will. "This is the way, walk ye in it." "I am the way," "A fool cannot err therein" are seme of the statements, and millions have found it so that followed their guide. A bold approach by Philip stops the chariot. The reader stops also reading. "Do you understand what you are reading?" That would draw a sharp rebuke from most any man to day not so from this honest seeking soul; he frankly admits that he does not understand. A wise man he can be taught. Gladly he invites the stranger to teach him the meaning of the above passage. How gladly man ought to avail himself of any help to learn God's thoughts, the language and customs used ancT" described in the Bible come to us from distant lands and must be applied to our time and condition, hence we need (S. S.) teachers who know the way to help us understand. The result cf this chance meeting (wa3 it such?) is the preaching of an effective sermon that brought a soul to Christ. Why do we have no more such immediate results of our preach ing? The Gospel is still "the power of God unto salvation." Philip preach ed unto him Jesus. There was still another perscn present the Holy Spirit. As Philip developed the plan of Salvation by which God can save man the light broke in upon the soul cf this earnest seeker for truth, and see how quickly hU thirsty soul I drinks in the truth! It was so with Cornelius, Lydia, the Philippian jail er. The transformation was instan- taneous- a complete surrender a' perfert Savior full salvation. This man was ready at once to join the church by the rite of Holy baptism. The reading of the Bible brought this all about. Who can tell or measure the results that have accrued from heading the Bible? (I found my way into the kingdom by hearing a sermon ion Act3 4:12). But since Jesus had so sweetly saved hi3 soul, he could safely dis pense with the preacher he had to learn to rely on God and his own ex perience. A holy joy fills his soul. His way is lit up by the light within. He goes home a different man. What a change. A troubled, sad and unsaved man goes to Jerusalem a happy, joy ful man gees back home! Such is the power of the word of God Bible reading and meditation. Murray Bert Warthen is having his Ford overhauled. Arthur Hansen doing the work.
