Neitzel, Murdock, Neb. "Sowing and Reaping" I Gal. 6:1-10. ! The great lesson In nature about towing and reaping is comprehensive to all. In life it is every act that represents seed, sowed into the ground, that will bring a sure har vest. This letter of TauTs (we are positive he wrote it) deal3 with r. class of people we ought to know something about. The people that in habited the province f Galatia in Asia Minor had come in the third tentury P. C. from the Rhein and Nethcrland countries of Gallic and Celt extraction, and became a mix ture with the Greeks. They were not Jews, but a heathen race, belong ing to the Roman Empire. Paul on his first missionary tour with IJar r.abas founded churches in Antioch, Ieonium, Lystra and Derbe. (Acts 13:14; 13:51; 14:6; 14:20). They received the new doctrine of salva tion by faith gladly and lived hap pily, enjoying a blessedness of which they spoke to Paul. (Gal. 4:15). On his return, he visited these churches in a reversed order, ap pointing elders and overseers. On his second missionary tour, he visited thorn again, having Silas with him; he had just come from Jerusalem, from the apostolic conference (Acts -5:6-20), which had declared the Gentiles free from the obligations of the Jewish ceremonial law. He con veyed the message of the council to the Galatian churches, and infused new life and strength into their .members. (Act3 16:1-5). Put after Paul and Silas left the churches, as they believed, well grounded in and established, there came the Judaizers, that caused Paul and the churches much trouble, and confused the Christians, preaching that they must become Jews first, be fore they could become Christians. This caused Paul to write this let ter, which is almost identical with the letter to the Romans. We shall now be better able to understand the lesson. How tender, and yet how sternly does Paul address them! "Brethren, If any of you is overtaken in a tres pass a wrong act before he can escape, be not over-harsh with him; you that are spiritual, restore such a one, repair what is injured." That is a teaching which, if prac ticed, would bring many an erring jncmber back into the fellowship of the church. It might well be called "Rescue work." That spirit of gen tleness, tolerance and forbearance is what Jesus taught and practiced. (Matt. 12:20). How may one bear the burdens of another? The word, "burden" here is translated as meaning "any weight" which presses heavily on the body or the mind, as toil, suffer ing, responsibility, anxiety. We bear other people's burdens by suffering with them, by sharing what we have with them, so as to relieve the acute ness of their distress, by believing in them. One great example is our Lord himself. (See Isa. 53:3-5; Matt. S:17) and in that way fulfill the Law of Christ. If this "were prac ticed by Christ's followers, there would be no need for a "Social Jus tice" party or program. How are we to understand, "For each man shall bear his own bur den?" The word "burden" in this verse differs from that in verse 2. In the former case, a man may rid himself of the "burden;" in this case he is expected to bear it. Each man has certain responsibilities im posed upon him, which he cannot throw off, to-wit: (a) the burden of providing for his own family; (b) to become educated, and (c) to make decisions. It will not do to shift re sponsibility in these matters onto another, by claiming circumstances are against one, or that he lacked opportunity or had inherited weak nesses to hold him back. The Law of Harvest in Human Life Man will concede that the law of sowing and reaping does apply to nature, but few there are who will give the matter serious thought when the same law is applied to the moral and spiritual realm. Here man oft deceives himself. Our daily observa tion confirms this. Men are deceived into believeing they ma' sow folly and reap wisdom; sow wild oats and gather wheat; that they can sow ex cess and reap sobriety, sow unclean and diseased things and reap health and strength; sow neglect and reap the reward of duty. They think they can sow to the devil and reap not the devils pay. Ponder this well! Applied to the liquor problem, hereare some pertinent facts: Kince repeal. Keeley institute pa tients have increased in number 55 per cent. (Sec. Nelson of the Insti tute). Convictions on drunken driver charges have increased 60 per cent. In Boston, the number of drunken women increased 75 per cent within three months after repeal. Number of auto accidents in 80 large cities over the nation showed an increase of 21 per cent in four weeks. Five months after repeal, the number of drunks in hospitals in New York had increased 50 per cent. These are a few samples. Sowing to the spirit has better re sults; it makes men sober, in dustrious, good neighbors, good citi zens, good church members, fathers and husbands. What of the future? What has the drinker to expect from the fu ture? Surely much different from that in store for the man who lives the Christ life! Let everyone see what kind of seed he sows; the harvest will come. From Monday's Uafly The death of William Barker, 52, member of one of the pioneer families of Cass county,-occurred late Sat urday afternoon at an Omaha hos pital where he has been for the past several days under treatment, being taken there after a few days of se vere illness that gave but little hope of his recovery.

Air-conditioned, and located just inside the Exposition fiates, "Hospitality House" has played host to nearly all comers since the Exposition opened June 6. DALLAS, Tex. Among other things, the Texas Centennial Ex ' position Is proving that to a visitor who has walked for hours under a hot sun, looking at exhibits, there Is no sweeter music than the invi tation: "Come in and take a load ff your feet" especially if the - proffered chair Is in a hushed, air conditioned lounge where all the furnishings conspire to turn the clock back 160 years. At least this is the claim of many here as, with the Exposition well along into It3 second month, Continental Oil Company's "Hospi tality House"' continues 10 be one of the chief meccas on the grounds. Offering no entertainment offering nothing, in fact, but a cool place to relax and have a draught of water "Hospitality House" is daily at tracting visitors ty the thousands.

It is painted a gleaming white, with green shutters and a green roof. Comfortable chairs and benches scattered on a tiled porcli complete the outside picture, whilo the spacious, air-conditioned In terior has walls panelled in knotty yellow pine and Is furnished with restful antique colonial maple chairs and tables.
