CHEVIES SCORE SHUTOUT
From Tuesday's Dally:
The Chevrolet team of the softball
league last evening scored a 25 to 0
shutout against the Murray team of
the league. The Chevies had the ad
vantage in all departments of the
game and had little trouble in se
curing an easy victory.
This evening the Donats, still un
defeated in the second round of the
league season are to play the BREX
and this should be a game that is well
worth seeing. In the first round of
the season the Donats turned back
the BREX and now the carmen are
out to reverse the situation and
throw the league leadership into a
general tie up of the teams.
The box score of the Chevie-Murray
battle was as follows:

"Christianity Spread by
Persecution"
Acts 7:59; 8:4; I Peter 4:12;1
We study today one of the great
phenomena of all ages; it touches the
miraculous, it exceeds anything that
man can imagine and conceive of,
namely the growth of the doctrine
of Christianity. There is nothing
that compares with it. It had no
sponsors; no man of wealth or in
fluence stood behind it; no king or
potentate offered assistance; only the
devotion and loyalty of its devotees
carried it forward, instilled by the
Holy Spirit; a holy enthusiasm,
soul aflame, a reckless abandon, even
not counting their lives dear, moved
them to bring to others the blessing
they had obtained through faith in a
living Christ. But the greatest fac
tor in the spread of this "new way
was persecution. This sounds like
parauox, mit the proof is at hand,
uui Btiipiuru passages mat we
are to study will convince the most
skeptical. In our first passage (Acts
:49) we see how unmerciful preju-
lauantisiii can De. Here a
godly man against whom no criminal
charge was brought, suffered a cruel
death at the hand of the church
leaders because of loyalty and devo
tion to Jesus Christ. We do not tarry
to review cause and effect, but look
at the result devout man buried
Stephen, the first martyr, who had a
wonderful vision before he fell asleep
seeing Jesus standing, arising from
his seat at the' right hand of God,
beholding hi3 servant "fight the good
fight" he went down fighting; but
was the ardor and enthusiasm of the
believers in any way diminished? On
the contrary, the persecution scatter
ed these "Firebrands." See Acts 8:4.
"They that were scattered abroad
went everywhere preaching the
word." (For illustration see Gen.
50:20). So, the fire spread and other
regions were set afire.
Had no persecution been started,
who knows how long the church
would have rested on its laurels and
jnight have gone to sleep.
Another persecution started by an
over-enthusiastic member of the old
Jewish church resulted in producing
the greatest personality, with the
greatest magnetic power, the great
est bravery ana greatest iorce, . to
epread the Gospel of Jesus Christ to
inore people, taking more territory
for" God than any other human be
ingSaul of Tarsus.
The death of Stephen had not
jnoved him to tolerance, rather in
flamed his fertile brain to find ways
and means to suppress and blot out
H possible "this way." But Jesus
jiad told Ms disciples: "I will build
jay church; and the gates of hell

other son passing away in infancy.
Those who remain to mourn his go
ing are his wife, two sons, Alfred, 19,
and Harlan, 10, his mother, Mrs.
Sarah McNatt, one brother, Julian
McNatt of Plattsmouth; two sisters,
Mrs. Artemer Barkhurst, Weeping
Water and Miss Emma McNatt resid

tives and a host of neighbors and
friends.

shall not prevail against it." (Matt.
16:18). And he made his word good
The greatest persecutor became its
greatest defender. The man who was
"breathing threatenings and slaugh
ter against the disciples of the Lord"
(Acts Jt:l) and here read his own
confession of his mad career (Acts
26:9-11) was shown the error of his
ways. The appearance of Jesus on
the road to Damascus changed this
zealot into a meek and humble sud-
plicant. "Lord, what wilt thou have
me to do?" Instructions are given
and he. becomes the greatest witness
for Christ.
No one can measure or tell or de
scribe the good that came out of
that persecution.
This is what he himself has to say
about his labors: "Frem Jerusalem
and round about unto Illyrimm, I
have fully preached the gospel of
Christ." (Rom. 15:19). See map of
Paul's travels. And then look on the
catalog of his suffering for the Gos
pel.(II Cor. 21-33). All this for the
furtherance of Christ's church.
ine conduct of Christians under
the fire of persecution will occupy
some time in our study. Why endure
persecution, when one strives to serve
God to the best of his ability? That
is a question that has puzzled many
a saint, and what is the answer?
