"The Spoken and the
Written Word"
Acts 17:1-15: I Thes. 2:12.
This should prove a very interest
ing study, for the fact that Thessa
lonica played such a prominent part
in the world war, and the terrible
fire. August 10 and 30, 1917, that de
stroyed the greater part of the city.
It was the landing place of English
troops, a seaport, now called Salonica.
The time is 51 A. D., Paul and Silas
the actors in this drama. After leav
ing Phillippi, "they" (Paul and Silas
Luke remaining at Phillippi, it is
said for seven years) passed through
Amphipolis and Apollonia. They came
to Thessalonica and there was a syna
gogue and a great number of Jews.
Paul (as was his custom) would give
the Jews first chance, reasoning with
them out of the scriptures, proving
to them that Jesus had to suffer, die
and be raised from the dead. The
result was quite gratifying; it is in
teresting to note the frequent refer
ence of women in these Macedonian
churches. "Macedonian women were
permitted to hold property and were
treated as mistresses of the house."
M. R. Vincent. But. Satan got busy
and soon brought in a disturbing
element; a number of Jews and a
lot of loafers, the "rabble" of the
city, formed a mob and were bound
to destroy the preachers, believing
them in the house of a man named
Jason, but they were not there. So
Jason and certain brethren were put
under bond (what for?), the mob cry
ing, "Those that have turned the
world upside down, are come hither
also." What a testimony for the ef
fective preaching! Would to God it
could be truthfully said of all preach
ers today! Yes, the devil has turned
the world "wrong side up" and the
gospel preacher is trying to turn it
"right side up." That is the change
Christianity brings to the world.
Even the wrath of men in the Cos-;
pels and the Acts is made to praise
God. They had heard Paul preach
that Jesus Christ is King over all
that was the charge. Well, Jesus was
charged with the same offense. "If
Rome had honored the King whom
Taul preached, it might be standing
today." Frank E. Allen. Well the
uproar petered out, but the preachers
had to leave town, although the seed
was planted in Thessalonica and a
flourishing church established.
But their leaving this field brought
them into a nobler, richer field, which
ve shall study now.
Berea is the next stop with a
gnort history, but a wonderful rec
trd. They met u different class of
ionnlf ill this inland city, forty miles
Jrom Thessalonica, situated on the
CAPTURE BAD "KITTY"
A group of several of the young
boys residing in the north part of
the city Saturday morning taking
their trusty air rifles and plenty of
lunch started out for a day in the
open.
The party returned home in the
evening, bearing with them a trophy
of the chase, a small black animal
whose back was wonderfully striped
with white. The animal had been
aroused by the dog that accompanied
the boys and while the animal was
killed, it inflicted considerable dam
age on the party and particularly
the dog. As the hunters returned the
neighborhood was filled with a not
too pleasant odor. The hunters were
compelled to shed their clothing and
disinfect themselves, the trophy of
the hunt destroyed and the dog well
he is still in a bad way despite the
treatment that he has received.
LUMBER YARD ROBBED
Tuesday night someone robbed the
yard of the Cloidt Lumber Co., at
Louisville, taking some seventeen
rolls of roofing paper. The loss of
the roofing paper was discovered this
morning by H. A. Funke, former
owner of the yard and who lives
nearb-. Sheriff Sylvester was noti
fied of the crime and visited Louis
ville, but no trace of the parties tak
ing the paper was found.

edge of the mountains, with a plain
of twenty miles stretching forth to
the sea. A city of some importance,
with a colony of Jews and a syna
gogue; it is still flourishing and re
tains its ancient name. These peo
pie were more "noble" than the peo
pie of Thessalonica. "Nobility" is a
virtue or characteristic, not acquired,
but of birth. (I Cor. 1:26). It is the
word from which derives our word
"eugenics." (See also Luke 19:12)
Why they were more noble Luke is
about to tell us. "In that they re
ceived the word with readiness of
mind.." "Examining the scriptures
daily, whether these things were so."
They did not just take the preach
er's word for granted, but would
verify it by giving diligent search
and time to a judicial inquiry of
investigation. (Luke 23:14; Acts
4:9; 12:19; 28:1S).
The noble hearer is not the man
who immediately says yes to the in
terpretation of the preacher. The
noble hearer is the man who appeals
again and again to the Scriptures
themeselves to find out if these things
be true. G. Campbell Morgan.
rr y. . . .
ine wruien word snould engage
our prayerful attention. The first
epistle Paul ever wrote was to the
church at Thessalonica from Corinth
about 51 A. D., in refutation of some
scandal mongers who tried to ruin
the character of Paul by stating that
he was a "deceiver," imputing to him
sins of uncleanncss (2:3). Others
said that he was one who made a
living like many wandering teach
ers (2:9). The church was in dan
ger of the chronic heathen vice of
unchasticy. (4:3-S). Some members
were spending their time unprofit
ably (4:10-17). There was danger in
this church of social cliques (5:13,
15, 20, 2C, 27). It was to correct
these errors and fake insinuations
that this Epistle was written.
The fine spirit of Paul in his ex
hortation (2:11) shows us how dear
and close to his heart this church
had grown.
It is every pastor's desire and the
yearning of his soul, that his mem
bers "should walk worthily of God."
That is the purpose and aim of the
church that is her mission; because
tney were caned into His own
kingdom and glory." This is the pre
paratory school in life for greater
responsibility. (See Matt. 25:21).
As we have proved faithful here,
so we will be promoted to greater
tasks and work, else heaven would
be a very monotonous place. Activity
in the line where we have made the
greatest progress, will be given to
us.

A reminder that the long summer
days are no more was given last
night when the city council started
their regular session a half hour
early, the meetings commencing at
7:30 instead of S o'clock.
The timo was largely taken up
with the routine reports of the var
ious officers cf the city government.
City Treasurer M. D. Brown re
ported that the city balance at this
time was $5,483.81, which was de
posited in the Plattsmouth State
tank.
City Clerk Albert Olson showed in
his repot t that in the month of Sept
ember he had collected the sum of
$160.67, which had been turned over
to the city treasurer.
Police Judge C. L. Graves reported
for the week ending October 1, there
had been one arrest and fines and
costs of $8.40.
Chief of Police Joe Libershal re
ported that for the month of Sept
ember there had been five arrests and
fines and costs had amounted to
$21.65.
A communication was received
from Fire Chief Dr. O. Sandin, in
which he stated that the firemen's
state convention would meet at Co
lumbus on October 20-23rd. On mo
tion of Tippens, seconded by Vro
man, the chief was voted expenses
of not to exceed $25, to attend the
convention.
Chief Sandin also reported that
since August there had been six fires
in the city, the most destructive be
ing that of the elevator and contents
at the Plattsmouh feed yards.
Councilman Webb reported that
in the appeals of the city from the
district court decision granting the
Standard Savings and Loan associa
tion the right of redemption of their
delinquent property at the bid price.
that there had been no reply brief
filed and that the case might be re
versed without the court touching on
the questions raised by the city and
on which they hoped to establish a
precedent.
Councilman Tippens reported that
the badges for the cour.cilmen had
arrived and been turned over to the
various members ot the council. He
also called the attention of the coun
cil to the fact that a vegetable mar
ket had been opened along Chicago
avenue and which on the highway
made a distinct menace to Ihe travel.
The nayor stated that stepo were be
ing i alien to have it removed from
the highway.
Councilman Bestor of the WPA
committee, reported that the signed
labor requisitions had not been re
ceived from the head offices at Lin
coln, as soon as they were here that
the work would probably start. Mayor
Lushinsky stated that there had been
a great many projects suggested but
that these would have to await the
time when the city as sponsor had
funds available to carry them out,
the sponsors being required to fur
nish a certain amount of funds.
There was an extended discussion
on a resolution which was suggest
ed by the tax and property commit
tee, in which the right of the city to
cancel delinquent improvement taxes
was involved, the fiuestion being
whether the city by purchasing the
tax titles automatically mergercd the
delinquent taxes with the purchase,
or whether they stood as a cloud on
the title of the property involved to
future owners. There was some dis
cussion of the matter by Councilman
Webb, Councilman Johnson, City At
torney Davis and Major Lushinsky.
On motion of Councilman Bestor,
the city was authorized to pay the
amount of the delinquent improve
ment taxes involved in the property
under question, amounting to $93.10,
and assuring a good title to the pur
chaser without any question.
Councilman Webb urged that the
questions involved in the resolutions
be prepared in the form of a bill to'
be submitted to the next legislature
to clear up many present doubtful
questions of law involving tax prop
erty. Tho condition of Livingston Road
was also given some discussion by
the council, there being several places
that require repair and which will
cost several hundred dollars. The
responsibility for the road was also
discussed and it was decided to have
the streets, alleys and bridges com
mittee take up with the state and
federal highway departments the
matter or repairing the road.
