Christian Urged to "Bare Light’" Spirit of Christ Is Needed in Politics, Says Rev. H. C. Whitcomb. Let the light of Christ shine in the sphere of politics, was the plea of Bev. H. C. Whitcomb of Calvary Baptist church in his morning ser mon yesterday. His subject was "The Torchbearers." He spoke on the text, "Ye are the light of the world. Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your Father which is in heaven." "Unquestionably this is a high as sumption which Jesus makes for his disciples," Hev. Mr. Whitcomb said. "It is, however, a simple fact of his tory that Christianity and the Christian church have exerted on human society a moral Influence which fully warrants the assump tion. No influence has been more profound, more extensive and more enduring than that of Jesus Christ perpetuated through*the lives of his followers. Despite all the imperfec tions of the church, despite all that can be alleged against it in the way of priestcraft and superstition and persecution, the simple historical fact lemains that the lives of Christian men and women have exercised an incomparable Influence for good upon the world. "Before the light of Jesus Christ, the world's darkness has steadfastly disappeared and never in the history of time have the eyes of all nations been turned with greater hope or ex ^tctancy toward Him than In the ^present time. With boldness and confidence, we must proclaim afresh the adequacy of this light for the moral and spiritual crisis Which con fronts the world today. “A lamp burns through the pro cess of combustion. Just so, we must be willing to allow the self within to l e consumed in the act of letting our life burn more consistently for Christ. Your business and mine, friends, is to ro live that after our personalities have become lost in the shadow, w*e shall leave behind us a trail of light that will guide the steps of those who otherwise may walk in darkness. "Our greatest need just now is for the Christian citizens of this com munity to take the bushel off their lamp and let the light of Christ shine in (he sphere of politics. Let the Christian business man take the bushel off his lamp and allow the principles of Christianity to be clear ly evidenced in commercial circles. Whatever responsibilities are yours -in the community, let your light shine there for Jesus Christ. When people begin to take Jesus seriously, they will lose their temerity.” Too Much Opinion, Declares Minister “The great difficulty today is that there is entirely too much opinion instead of conviction. Even in the fc,>called Christian world there are doubts about the divinity of Christ and the inspiration of the word of Cod,” said Rev. George A. Miller In his Sunday morning sermon at First Christian church. “Paul, assured of the resurrection, admonishes each one to steadfastness in the Christian faith. If we have a settled conviction that there is an other life, and have accepted Christ and lived according to His law, the victory over death is certain. It is not an opinion but a settled convic tion. “Some even go so far as to have no settled conviction as to the cer tainty of the resurrection. Is there any wonder that so many are not ‘steadfast, unmovable?’ The man of opinions in any walk of life accom plishes hut very little. Opinions have never built up society in state or church. Conviction, and steadfast ness in that conviction, has been the great power to transform the world.” Holdrege Backs Circuit for Automobile Races Holdrege, Neb., March A report given by the chairman of the Auto show committee at the banquet of the Commercial club promised the best auto show ever held. The club authorized the auto race association committee to make arrangements for an association composed of bexing ton, Franklin, Holdrege and probably North Platte.

King If the men would stick to their jobs they would receive higher wages, according to Itev. W. D. King in his sermon at Central Park Congrega tional church on the subject “Hold ing On.” "One of the greatest causes of loss in many of the activities of life is lack of stability,” he said, “Some Industrial leaders tell us much larger wages could be paid to the workers if men would stick to their tasks until they could do their work most effi ciently. The turnover in labor is therefore a large Item in the over head expense. We find the same principle true in church life; many a pastor leaves his task before the op portunity for his best and most effi cient service is ever reached. How often times the church officer or Sun day school teacher becomes discour aged and declines to continue, when before him are the untouched fields of greatest opportunity. So often, as soon ns the novelty has worn off and the hard pull commences, the tempta tion to let loose and not surmount the difficulties Is welcomed, and great blessing and growth to both the indi vidual and the cause are thus lost. “On the other hand, if we face the most severe difficulties, the most ardu ous tasks, perhaps mingled with trials, sorrows and seemingly unsur mountable obstacles, with not a thought of letting loose, we receive a taste of the joy of our Isjrd, our souls are "purged of the dross of self ishness, and our lives are bound to bless those whose lives we touch. So severe may have been the test that one may sometimes have almost ques tioned divine love; yet the greater the test. If we have passed It safely, the richer will be the blessing which will flow from our lives; Just as the one first to come to the mother who has been bereft of her child, and in her agony, is questioning een received by Robert Burns, 31 1 South Fifty-second street.

MahafTey in his Sun day morning sermon at First United Presbyterian church. “God's purposes may not i>e thwarted by the weakness of man. Abraham disgraced his God and Maker at times and yet he was a greater man than Pharaoh, whom ho deoeived. .Jacob was a greater man than Esau, whom he cheated. In fact, as we trace the purposes of God, we are surprised at what God Is able to do with the material He has to use. "Paul says: 'I determined to know nothing among you save Jesus Christ and Him crucified.’ “Every arrh must have a keystone, nnd many ft man falls as a builder because be has no keystone, no domi nating thought. Many a man is wan dering atidut the world today, doing nothing—l>ecau8e he has no sovereign purpose.” Wymore Community Club Talks Dairying Wymore, Neb., March 9.—The Wy more Community club elected 55 busi ness men to serve on committees.

Effie Cherry Back oil Stage^This Time to Push Mayoralty Campaign \--- — By I'Dltmal Service. Cedar Rapids, la., March 9.—Wear ing a gown in style 25 years ago, when sl.e was a vaudeville star. Miss Kffle Cherry today returned to the stage—this time to further her can didacy for mayor of Cedar Rapids. Miss Cherry, who as one of the three Cherry sisters became known throughout the country when their vaudeville act was received with showers of vegetables, delivered the first political nddress of her cam paign at the Majestic theater. She was dressed in a gown of black silk, tlght.fittlng. and trailing the floor. With it she wore a hat and long black gloves of the period matching the gown. Her appearance drew hearty laughs from the su dienes, but her brief speech was cor dially received. In It she reasserted her stand in favor of a 9 o’clock cur few law for Cedar Rapids. "The boys and girls are entitled to a better chance in life," she said. "The curfew will give them that chance by keeping them off the streets at all hours of the night.” She turned to a small boy In the audience and asked: "What does your father say when you get home at 11 o’clock?” The hoy, somewhat abashed, re plied: "Dad don't say nothing. He don't get in until 11:30.” Miss Cherry also pledged herself to break up swearing In public and said she would assure Cedar Rapids the purest drinking water It ever had. I Adele Garrison j ^ “My Husband’s Love” ^ Panic Seized Madge an She Searched for tier Car. Panic, stark and nerve-racking, seized me as I realized that nowhere could I seq the motor car which had brought me from Mrs. Bird’s home, and whicii the driver has said would lie waiting at the curb on Lexington avenue, somewhere within two blocks of the department store from which 1 had telephoned Alfred Dur kee. What could have happened? I asked the question frantically of my self when 1 had made ray second trip up and down the crowded thoroughfare trying to make my searching glances at the cars along the curb as unobtrusive as possible. The driver was no-ordinary taxi man, but little Mrs. Bird's own trusted em ploye. He would not fail to keep an appointment with me unless something of the utmost Importance had intervened. Conscious that I would attract at tention if I continued my parade up and down I walked into the wide entrance of the department store, made a hurried trip down one aisle and up another and emerged again into the sheltered space just outside the doors where 1 flattened myself against the wall and waited won dering what it were best to do. Could the man have met with an accident? Not a serious one I told myself answering my own question, or there would be traces of the ex citement' which surrounds any un usual happening in the city streets. I had spent but a comparatively short time in the store when I had telephoned, and the routine of traf fic had been the same when I left as when I entered. There must be some other reason neither so tragic as an accident nor so imp*»tant as a failure to find parking space for I had observed a number of vacant places along the curb. I scored myself Irritable for not having foreseen some such eontre tempts. I could have given the man directions to come to the gifty-ninth street corner where I had told Alfred Durkee to meet me. But he had no other instructions than to wait for me along this street and I did not wish to leave the vicinity without finding out where he had gone. Luckily Alfred understood that he was to wait for me indefinitely on Fifty-ninth street. But a glance at my wrfst watch told me that time, the most nocesShry of all commodities to me at this juncture, was gallop ing along with headlong rapidity. With a feeling that I would he hanged no matter which way I de cided, X moved into the street, re solving to take the first taxi over to Fifty-ninth street, and come back to hunt up my own driver .after I should have seen Alfred. I already had raised my hand to signal an approaching one, when from a little way down the street a ramshackle, old fashioned limousine put on a spurt of speed and swung into the curb In front of me while its driver swung open the door. "Taxi lady," he said hoarsely then in an undertone, and in far different accents he muttered "Get in quick." I looked at him twice before 1 obeyed for X found it hard to recog nize Mrs. Birds rather natty driver in the man who spoke to me. But [ saw that it was Indeed the same youth although he had enveloped himself in a big shaggy overcoat, and a rough cap whteh changed his apiiearance to h surprising degree, and I hastily stepped Into the car Instinctively shrinking hack in its depths as ho slammed the door shut, and with a quick, searching glance behind him guided the car deftly Into the stream of traffic and turned the corner track toward the bridge. "When we get out of this you can tell me where you want to go next," ho threw hack at me without turn ing Ills head and f took (lie hint, re maining absolutely silent while he twisted around corners and up and down streets until finally lie emerged Into a quiet side street several blocks north of where we bad started and with the car still In motion and hia eyes restlessly searching the streets, asked me wtiat was my next stop. "South side of Fifty-ninth street, east of Broadway as near to Colum bus Circle as you can park," X said, repeating the direction I had given Alfred Durkee. "I’ll cut through the park then." he said, evidently speaking to himself, and in a few moro minutes we were driving swiftly Into winding thoroughfares of Central l’ark com ing out at tlm Seventh avenue exit, and turning to the rigid along Fifty ninth street. "Are you going to watt here long?" lie asked, as he slowed speed behind a street car and I was sure 1 de tected uneasiness In his voice. "only to pick tip a man who Is to meet us here," I answered. "Let s hope he'a here," lie mut tered to himself, hut I caught the words, and the hearing of them did not allay my swiftly mounting lin en slttess.

He sang, danced and juggled and did all of them well. Mary Drew and company is something in the “strong man" act line except that Mary hferself does the feats of strength, lifting the other two hefty members of the company with one arm and carrying them across the stage. Walters and Stern, a coupla sales men, put on some nonsensical songs that added a happy spice of mirth to the program.

Dedicate Business to God, Pastor Urges God must be supreme In your heart and your business must be dedicated to His service, declared Kev. F. II. King in his morning seimon yest'iday at I'nlted Brethren church, speaking on "A Three-Fold Chord." (lis text v,..s, "Simon, son of Jonas, Invest Me more than these?” John 21:15. "The text furnishes a standard by which we may test tlie genuineness of our love for our Savior,” he said. "It is a gauge by which we can do tect the impurities in our affection. Whatever 'these' may refer to, it In unworthy and unacceptable to Him. "One interpretation Is that Peter was loved more than the others. Was he not tlie first called? First to win another? Was he not at the mount of transfiguration? Did lie not hear the Father say, 'This is My beloved Son?’ Was it not Peter who spoke while Jolin and James fell to the ground? Did he not walk on the water? Did he not lift up the sword in defense of his I.ord in the garden? Did He not say, 'Go tel! My disciples and Peter?’ Yet that question was not to lie answered this way, that he stood above the others, for he that is chlefest shall become the servant of all. “Another Interpretation Is, he loved more than his companions. He left his companions first to follow Jesus. He ran away from them all to reach the sepulcher, plunged out of the ship into the sea to reach Him first. "This same question might be good for us to ask ourselves today. How many love their companions, amuse ments, professions, callings, better than their Lord. We are to love our friends, but not above our Lord. “Another interpretation is. ‘Do you love me more than these imple ments of your occupation? There are the boats, the nets, the fishers' clothes. He was fond of his occupa tion, and on the evening before he had led them all out fishing. Now comes the supreme test. Do you love Me more than your business profession, calling, and would you if called leave all and follow Me? Would you abandon all for His glory? Mill you answer these questions? Are you conceited? Are you bigoted? Is God supreme in your heart? Is you business God's business and dedi cated to TIis service and glory? If so then you may with Peter answer, ‘Lord, Thou knowest that I love Thee.*" $629,000 Real Kr-tate Deeds Recorded in Platte County Columbus.
