f i 1 I ? PAGE FOTTB New Funeral Home Fine Addi tion to the City I. I. Horton Moves to New Loca tion at Seventh and Oak Streets in New Home and Chapel. Saturday and Sunday the L. L. Horton funeral home was moved from its former location at Seventh and Vine streets, to one block north, at Seventh and Oak streets where a fine new modern funeral home struc ture has been completed, making a splendid addition to that part of the city. The new structure is made in strictly Modernistic lines, the pure white of the sides and the green tone of the roof making a very striking picture with the colonial stoop en trances on the south to the living apartments of Mr. and Mrs. Horton. The chapel and funeral home oc cupy the northern part of the house and has entrances from the spacious driveways on the east of the build ing. One approaches the chapel portion of the building either from the north or south over the driveway that runs the length of the lot. The large double doors admit to the main chapel and here a canopy will be built to cover the entrance in case of in clement weather. The chapel itself is a very impres Eive picture, the interior walls and ceiling being in newood finish in tones of tan, gray and lavender, all artistically blended to make a most attractive picture. The seating of the chapel is in keeping with the general decorative plan, white pew seats are placed on either side of the center aisle and giving a very wor shipful setting to the scene. At the west of the chapel is the alcove for the resting place of the casket, this to be featured with velvet drapes that are in keeping with the color theme of the chapel. To the south is the music alcove where the piano is located and which also has the Bible School Sunday, Jane 11th "Paul Solves Church Problems" I Cor. 1:1-3, 10, 11; -4:14-21; I Thes. 5:12-15. All ages have had their problems, the same as ours, and it has taken much wisdom to solve them and some are still unsolved; but why there should be problems in the church, besides finding the best way of approach to the human heart, to bring them to a knowledge of the Son of God, is hard to understand; only the imperfection of the human heart and mind can make problems possible. And if these problems are rot settled right, may cause dire re sults division ill feeling bitter ness hatred, the ruin of an orga nization. But since we find these problems, we say it needs divine wisdom to solve them; herein the Apostle Taul was a Master. Here is the church founded by Paul, who had successors, eloquent and great men. such as the Apostle Peter, Apollus, who did not follow the preaching of Taul, and who by their conduct and preaching had gathered followers to themselves; there were then those who said I am of Paul, and I of Apollus, and I of Cephas and I of Christ. This condition would hinder the work of the church the church could not pull In four directions and make progress. It has happened that men converted under r. minister, would lose their religion if that man was changed to another charge they were of the Corinthian style. Paul shows them by fine logic how absurd such actions were; if they were converted, only Christ could do that; the ministers were only instruments in God's hand to Taring them to Christ; they were called to follow Christ and no man; those preachers might preach to oth ers and themselves suffer shipwreck in the end the safe .way is to fol low Christ. Then there were some who tried to undermine the influ ence of Paul, belittle him. They were puffed up. Taul writes that he will soon come to see them and face them. Since he was called of God for this work, he spoke and acted with authority, and God -would vindicate him. It is not safe to ridicule or speak lightly of God's servants. But the spirit in which Paul writes dis arms them (read the saluation once more). That is the spirit of Christ, which melts the hardest heart and wins, not by power or might, but b7 his spirit. The division in CSorinth was not artistic velvet drapes. The family room is to the north side of the chapel where the pew seating is also used, a private entrance to this be ing located to the north and where the family may have the strictest privacy. The flooring is In a very artistic blending of gray and green to fit the general color theme of the chapel. The operating and preparing room is located in the north portion of the building, finished in spotless white and with all modern conven iences to make this a very efficient place to work and which has its own private entrance. From the chapel is a stair that leads to the second story of tne house which is to be used as the dis- ! play room by Mr. Horton for his line of caskets and which gives the oppor tunity of carrying a large line of caskets and their proper display. Under the entire house is a full basement where is located the heat ing and cooling systems for the building and which insures a com fortable temperature through the ventilating system whch Is operated by the large ventilator on the roof. The living quarters of the family are in keeping with the modern and up to the minute equipment of the building. Entrances are both to the living room and also the kitchen. At each of these special lights are installed that add to the general decorative plan of the building. The living room of the home is finished in the tones of soft tan color ing and is a spacious and comfortable room for the use of the family. The kitchen of the home is white and with strictly modern equipment to make it a convenient and 'pleasant place. The west portion of the living quarters is divided into the sleeping room and bath, both very prettily decorated In the soft colorings and which adds to the general comfort of the home. The bath room is In pure white with tiled half walls and all modern in every way. The building is one that certainly adds to the appearance of the sec tion of the city where it is located Lesson Studyl ! By L. Neitzel, Murdock, Neb. regarding any doctrine, but rather over their respective allegiance to some of the great men in the church of the Apostolic age. The church at Thessalonica had problems of a different character. This was a prominent city, like Philippi, with a large settlement of Jews who had a synagogue. Here Paul on his second missionary tour held a three - weeks' meeting with good success. Timotheus brought Paul, who was at Corinth, a good re port of the church at Thessalonica, that through all their persecutions the church had stood firm and lived joyfully and were examples to the country round about them, and how the gospel had radiated from them through all Macedonia and Achaia indeed a fine report. But on the other hand, they seemed to be trou bled and were restless, hence the ad monition to "Study to be Quiet;" be cause they believed in the immediate coming of the Lord and were worried about the dead, whether they would share in the blessing and glory of the second advent. This fine church receives the revelation of the pro cedure of the second coming of our Lord read carefully Chap. 5:12-15. Paul who by the Holy Spirit did "search . . . the deep things of God" (I Cor. 2:10) brought to this church the consoling Gospel, regarding the resurrection; he assures them that those who have passed on are (a) "asleep," hence an awakening fol lows; what a glorious hope that brings to the sorrowing; but this hope is only for those (b) who be lieve in the living Christ. Then fol lows Cor. 5:12-15 on exhortation to esteem their pastors for their work's sake, and be at peace one with an other. If this were lived up to to day, the church would have a bet ter standing in the world, her in fluence would bring many into the fold. It would be a victorious church. Since every church has many kinds of members like in any family they cannot all be treated alike for there are the unruly, the faintheart ed and the weak, which tkes long- suffering lor others to bear with them, but it will build, in the end a strong church and membership. If we would follow Paul's method in dealing with church problems there would not be the many divis ions among the churches, nor the endless work of mergiag the factions These efforts could be used instead in building the kingdom. and is a fine improvement, as for many years the lots where It is lo cated were neglected and barren and now boasts one of the most attractive buildings in the city. In the new funeral home Mr. L. L. Horton is to be congratulated on hav ing such an attractive and conven ient home and for bis part in help ing the improvement of that part of the city.
