The filling "and service station I which va3 instituted by A. II. Ward a number of years ago and who by oulose. attention .to buskn.essaud .very fine treatment "of the purchasing pub lic had built up a very fine business has disposed of the station to Mr. I. C. McCrorey which he will conduct in the future. Callahan Evangelical Church. F. C. Weber, pastor In II Kings 10:3. we read. "The remnant that is escaped of the house of Judah shall yet again take root downward and bear fruit upward." This unique phrase, spoken Oi Judah, suggests a thought which may be profitably applied to each one of us. The process of "deep rooting" is too often overlooked in our haste to make fine showing of fruit. This downward stretching of the roots suggests the Psalmist's "tree planted by the rivers of waters." The roots of this tree have reached down until they drink of the underground streams which fail not. This depth means not only growth but also strength and beauty. The winds may blow, the storms may rage, but the tree that is deep-rooted stands un scathed. As the roots extend down ward, the fruitage extends upward, reaching toward the heavens. Even so it is in our lives. If we drink deeply of the "living water, if we are rooted and grounded in the word and wisdom of God. We too, will be able to stand firm when the stcrr,.s and tempests of life blow upon us and try to overwhelm us. And our fruit will be upward. - Murdock Evangelical Church.

The recent Christmas offerings contributed by the two Evangelical churches resulted thus: Louisville Evangelical church, 25.36; Murdock Evangelical church, ?2S.26. These offerings were divided 50-50 for the local budget cause and the Nebraska conference missionaries. Christian peoples love to give to God's work, so that His unfinished task may be more fully realized. A number of our towns-people worshipped with us Sunday evening for the first time in a regular wor ship hour. Believe us when we say, "You are very welcome, come again!" It is a good omen when the business people and citizens, not regularly at tending another church, show such a warm interest in. the church of their town. When we boost for the church we help the kingdom and ourselves.

Ask Him Don't Entrust Your Own or Your Family's Weil-Being to Unknown Preparations BEFORE you take any prepara tion you don't know all about, for the relief of headaches; or the pains of rheumatism, neuritis or neuralgia, ask your doctor what he thinks about it in comparison with Genuine Bayer Aspirin. We say this because, before the discovery of Bayer Aspirin, most so-called "pain" remedies were ad vised against by physicians as being bad for the stomach; or, often, for the heart. And the discovery of Haver Aspirin largely changed iiiciical practice. Countless thousands of people who have taken Bayer Aspirin year in and out without ill eflect, nave proved that the medical findings about its safety were correct. Remember "this: Genuine Bayer Aspirin is rated among the fastest methods yt discovered for the relief of headaches and all common pain3 . . . and safe for the aver' c person to take regularly. You can get real Bayer Aspirin at any drug store simply by never asking for it by the name "aspirin" alone, but always saving BAYER ASPIRIN when you buy. Bayer Aspirin evening.
