"The Christian as Witness"
I Thes. i:l-10
In this remarkable lesson we shall
see St. Paul, who bears witness to
the church, of Thessalonica, which
he had founded (the second in Eu
rope) about 51 A. D.. of their pro
found religious life amid great afflic
tions and tribulations; and' the won
derful success of his evangelistic
methods he pursued. Paul was ever
seeking out the centers of population,
the large cities; planting a church
in them was like placing a beacon
light on a high eminence, radiating
its rays far cut into the darkness.
Persecution made him to leave this
place and going to Eeraea where he
built a church notable for its study
of the Bible. Again persecution
drove him away and he went south
to Athens, where he preached the
marvelous sermon on Mars Hill, but
won few converts. Cornith is his
next destination, where he spent IV2
years; from here he writes (the first
of his Epistles), the letter of our les
son. Of ail Paul's letters this is the
greatest. There is not a word of con
troversity in it. A loving fatherly
ppirit breathes in every line. He has
preached to them in affliction; he
lias warned ther.i that they would
tuff or affliction, and that warning
has been fulfilled. But he has also
preached to them of the coming of
Christ, and in that hope all sorrow
vanished; so that by a splendid para
dox, which was not a rhetorical fig
tiro but a blessed truth unknown to
the world before, U;ey had received
the word in tribu!3tion, yet with
joy in the Holy Ghost.
Paul, Silas and Timothy (Silas
replaced Barnabas, Timothy takes
tho place of John Mark) the three
witnesses to the following facts, hav
ing been eye-witnesses: that thi3
(chv.rch) which means "called out"
"separated," a congregation bound
together fcr one pri-pcse, is, in God
the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
thus defining the Thessalonian I
church as a body of believers in God.
So not a pagan organization, and the j
Son of Cod, so not a Jewish but a ,
Christian assembly. Moreover, the
"in" is not repeated. God and Christ
are mentioned as one and the same.
See how much wise and necessary
theology is incorporated by Paul in a
single sentence.
"Grace to You and Peace." Grace
is the sum of all blessing that God
bestows through Christ. "Peace" is
the sum of all spiritual blessings
that man receives and experiences.
Peace is more than the absence of
hostility and disorder; it denotes
health and harmony of nature, in
ward tranquillity and well being.
Paul's whole Gospel is :n these two
words." Prof. George G. Findly.
Grace and peace are the basis of all
evangelism," all witness-nearing for
Christ. His peace must be in the
heart cf the evangelists, and his
grace must win men, though Chris
tians, to himself. Again Paul bears (
FIND FOR DEFENDANT
From Tuesday's Dally
The case of the Iowa Soda Prod
ucts Co., vs. B. L. Phllpot, et al.,
was terminated this morning when
the jury in the case returned a ver
dict for the defendants and set their
recovery at $200. The case was one
involving some of the limestone
products from the Weeping Water
quarries. The defendant was repre
sented in the action by Mrs. W. L.
Dwyer, Cas3 county lady member of
the bar.
HERE FROM LINCOLN
J. E. Lancaster, state deputy sher
iff, was in the city Sunday to spend
the day with the family and enjoy
ing a short rest from his work. The
scope of Mr. Lancaster's work takes
him to many different points in the
state in his investigating work for
the state and in which he has been
unusually successful and has had
part in many of the leading cases
handled from the state office.

witness of their "election" not pre
destination. They responded when called, and
became the "elect" of God confirm
ing them in the Holy Ghost. Thus
was the word, preaciieu by Paul,
made effective, that the power of it
brought about a transformation, a
convertion, which means a "turning
about," from idols to the service of
the living God. That is evangelistic
doctrine and practice any other way
is not approved by God docs not
change men's lives and hearts. Where
that does not follow there is no con
vertion a false hope is planted in
the mind and no "assurance" of adop
tion into the family of God's house
hold given. Christians must be able
to testify to the power of the Gospel
that changes men once blind now
seeing once dead, now alive once
a leprous sinner, now washed and
made clean.
Pau testifies to their influence
through two provinces, Macedonia
and Achaia, and cverwhere, where
Paul went he heard about the faith
they exercised, their reputation was
such that Paul could be justly proud
of them, and were examples to oth
ers. Such a change can only God
work in men; and such Christians
are indeed the salt cf the earth and
a light to the world. It is because of
such work by the Holy Ghost, who
fills the heart with joy and peace and
power, that the church of Jesus
Christ can withstand persecution, yes
even thrive by it even the gates cf
hell cannot prevail against her.
The Macedonian Christians and
their godly manner of life were the
best evangelistic address possible.
Even Paul, that master orator, could
not improve upon it. So it is every
where today, Christian lives are
Christian Gospels, telling the good
news of Jesus Christ to all they
meet. Paul had in hi3 preaching
told of the resurrection of Jesus,
which meant so much to him, which
he correctly saw to be the founda
tion cf historical Christianity and of
Christian evidences. He testified of
Jesus as being the Deliverer. "This
ever-present deliverance implies a
past. Ke redeemed us once for all;
he is ever delivering us." Bishop of
Derry. "All conversions that are
made are made not so much by what
we say as by what we do. We are
told that we should be living Epis
tles, known and read by all men. We
are a sort of book in the world's cir
culating library; and if the world
dees not heed us so much as we do
hope possibly it is because there is so
much fiction in the library, and not
enough history." Hon. W. J. Bryan.
The fact of our being saved, al
most always, through some human
instrumentality, makes it incumbent
upon us to help save someone else.
It is a debt which we owe to human
ity. "A Christian is: A mind thru
which Christ thinks r heart thru
which Christ loves a voice thru
which Christ speaks a hand thru
which Christ helps." F. A. Noble.
Nehavka
Dr. G. H. Gilmore, of Lincoln, was
looking after some business matters
in Nehawka last Tuesday afternoon.
Julian J. Pollard was called to Om
aha last Monday to secure some ma
chinery repairs and parts for which
he had need in his business.
In a game of basketball between a
team from the Alumni and the regu
lar high school team of Nehawka, the
former were winners by a score of 10
to S.
Mrs. W. G. Cheney and the family,
of Lincoln, were visiting for the day
last Sunday in Nehawka, and while
here were guests at the home of Mr.
and Mrs. R. C. Pollard.
Glen Rutledge, the editor and pub
lisher, was in Lincoln last Saturday,
where he attended the football game
between Nebraska and Missouri and
enjoyed seeing the Cornhuskers win
the game.
Frank Trotter, who is still at the
hospital receiving treatment for his
injury, is getting along as well as
can be expected, but it will be some
time before he is able to be out of the
cast and can leave the hospital.
Mrs. John O. Yeiser and children of
Omaha visited frow Friday to Sunday
afternoon at the home of her parents,
Mr. and Mrs. ..ndrew F. Sturm, they
all returning to their home in Omaha
in time for school Monday morning.
Billy Rosencrans, of Plattsmouth,
was a visitor for a number of days atj .
the home of his grandparents, Mr.
and Mrs. J. G. Wunderlich, remain
ing over Sunday, when his parents,
Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Rosencrans, drove
down for a visit and accompanied him
home in the evening.
John G. Wunderlich, along with
some sixty others have installed wat
er in their homes, and he is well
pleased with the convenience this will
bring. Herman Smith who did most
of the work of hooking up to the
meters, out of 55 installations only
had one to do over again. This makes
a good record and one that stands out
as something to shout about.
Mesdames A. F. Sturm and John O.
Yeiser drove over to Mynard Sunday
morning to get a turkey for the big
Thanksgiving dinner which the two
families are to enjoy together at the
home cf Grandfather and Grandmoth
er Sturm here, as the Yeiser family is
coming dow.n. from Qmaha with appe-
tites whetted to do full justice to the
bird and all the trimmings. The peo
ple whom they went to get the turkey
from were at church when they ar
rived for it, and they had to await
their return at about 12:30, which
made them late getting heme for their
own dinner.
Change in Working Force
With the change which has been
;nade since the recent election of the
head of the Federal Land Bank in
Omaha, the personnel of the entire
fcrce has also been changed. Among
the employees of the institution who
thus found themselves without jobs,
was Miss Virginia Pollard. She is at
home now and will enjoy a vacation
frcm the work which she has been so
closely kept at during the past num
ber of months.
Hauling; Coal from Iowa
Delbert Switzer has been trucking
coal from Clarinda to Nehawka, plac
ing same in the cellars or storage
bins cf those who buy. He says there
is a continual stream of trucks at the
mine, hauling coal to different parts
of the country, some large fleets haul
ing almost as much as a railroad train
would.

The Nehawka Postoffice
Verner Lundberg has been the post
master at Nehawka for some time and
received re-appointment for a second
term some time ago, his last term not
having yet expired. However, dur
ing the past year or so the office has
slipped down the ladder in the matter
of receipts, due to slow business con
ditions, etc., and instead of being a
third class office is now a fourth
class one.
As Mr. Lundberg had been appoint
ed as postmaster for the third class
office, and the same is now a fourth
class one, in the ethics of politics it
is required that an examination be
held and a fourth class postmaster
be appointed. However, Mr. Lund
berg has an opportunity to take the
examination along with others.
Postmaster General Farley has
written a letter stating that Earl Opp
is to take charge of the office pend
ing the holding of the examination
fcr appointment cf a new postmaster
here. However, no inspector has ar
rived to check out the present post
master and as he has not received any
official notice of the change, he is re
fusing to give up the office until he
is definitely advised to do so by the
powers that be in Washington.

not disclosed.
Flandin, rejecting firmly the idea
of devaluing the franc, said it no
longer agrees with the facts since
"deflation in France is nearly over"
and "world prices in terms of gold
are 'tending to reach the level of
French prices." ' , '
Appealing to the people to quit
listening to "the defeatists of 1934"
and unite to fight "exploiters of civil
war," Flandin answered demands
for constitutional reform by citing

Roosevelt in the United States.

MOUNTAIN KEEPS UP ANTICS
Durango, Colo. Carbon mountain,
whose strange shaking has attracted
thousands of sightseers, shows no
sign of going into hibernation for
the winter. Quite the contrary is
true. The mountain seems to be

At frequent but irregular intervals
the "jumbo" goes into action, hurt
ling down debris and rocks and open

lated report that the action i3 only
the result of a slide, or of the burn
ing of a bed of cool within the moun
tain, Carbon's structure breaks and
avalanches occur each time a seismic
disturbance is reported along the
Pacific coast.
The major movements now take
place at the extreme northwest point
of the mountain, where hundreds of
thousands of tons of debris have slid
down and the contour of Carbon has
changed in the last few weeks. Fre
quently the roar of the falling rocks
and dirt can be heard in Durango,
almost three miles north of the
mountain.

Geneva. Charges that Japan, by

first time.
It was revealed also that Japan,
which resigned from the League of
Nations, has threatened to withdraw
from the league's advisory commit
tee on opium traffic because of the
charges. A formal pretest against
the insinuations, allegedly made by
Wellington Koo of China, was sub
mitted by Masayuki Yokoyama, the
Japanese consul general in Geneva,

unjustified.
