heart is peace. Left to himself,
man has never been able to find
peace. He may catch glimpses of

evening star. But when he turns
to his own life, he hears nothing
but the world’s endless pain, strife
and confusion.

in THE OMAHA GUIDE Columns
we grope and stumble in the hate
and darkness of sin, there can be
no peace in our hearts. Only when
our sins are forgiven, when the
wall between God and us has been
broken down, only then can we
find true peace.
This is the peace of Lent. It com
es to us through agony and blood
and pain of the eternal Son of God.
Our God-given faith in Jesus and
His cross now gives us qquiet of
mind and stillness of heart. This
is the peace which the world can
not give and cannot take away.
The message of that Cross will
be told with special sweetness in
every service at Hope Lutheran
during Lent. Neglect it not for
yourself! Services on Sundays at
11 a. m. and Wednesday evening
at 8 o’clock. The lessons for our
Sunday School children during this
Lenten season also features the
Passion of our Lord and Savior.
Your children are welcome at Hope
Lutheran every Sunday morning at
10 o’clock.

REV. E. B CHILDRESS, Pastor
MASON DEVEREAUX, Jr., Reptr
A man ought to get all the edu
cation he can, but if he doesn’t
know Jesus Christ, he is better off
as a ignoramus. A man endowed
with the love and spirit of j£sus
Christ ought to be ready and will
ing to stoop down and pick up a
child of God in need and if a man
does right a person with any sense
at all, whether the person does
right himself or herself, that per
son will admire the man for his
honesty and righteousness and if a
man or woman doesn’t wish to do
he or she can always find an ex
cuse and if he or she wishes to do
_no task undertaken will fail.
Some of the thoughts of the day
taken from our ministers Christian
sermon Sunday morning March 2,
1947 on the subject “The Altar of
Sacrificial Healing." The text us
ed by our pastor for this food for
thought provoking message wa3
St. Mark 9 chapter 29th verse,
o o o
There is still room enough for
your name on the list of the Cen
tury Club Roll. So why not hurry
and turn your name into any mem
ber of the Trustee Board or the
Pastor of St. Johns. The cause Is
urgent, deserving and merits the
100 percent cooperation of St. John
membership- List your name to
day so that you too will become a
part of this great Christian pro
gram.
Remember if you can’t become a
member of the Century Club, we
have a 75 Club, 50 Club, 40 Club,
and 25 Club. Any amount you
care to give will e graciously ac
cepted whether it be over a 100 or
under 25, but give according to
your God-given ability to this
cause. A Bigger, Better, Greater
St. John in Omaha will be realized
through your generous liberality
for God, our community, our child
ren, spiritually and financially.

THE CHALLENGER COLUMN
REV. BLETSON, Pastor
(bv E. L. SPENCER, Reporter)
HELLO FOLKS: this is your
Christian Endeavor League Repor
ter, bringing you the latest news
about the League- You know a
preacher walked into a saloon, or
dered milk and by mistake was
served milk punch. After drink
ing it the holy man lifted his eyes
to heaven and was heard to say:
‘‘O Lord, what a cow”.
Now we will get down to the
news. The Christian Endeavor
League opened Sunday at 6:30 p.
m. with the President taking
charge. The lesson Sunday was:
"When Nations Apply the Golden
Rule”....The Golden Rule is ‘‘Do
Unto Others as You Would Have
Others Do Unto You”... The ques
tion that started the debate was....
“Do You Believe the Golden Rule
will work as a rule among nations ?
Some of the girls and boys said it
would and some said it wouldn't.
So I am asking my readers to drop
me a card and let me know what
they think about It. The address
is 2702 Corby St., E. L. Spencer.
So in the meantime I will be look
ing to hear from you.
Sunday School opened at 9i45 a.
m. with Mrs. Reeves, Supt, in
charge. At 10 a. m. each class
went to their respective place and
Sunday School was out at 10 a. m.
Well that’s all of the news for now
but here's my thought for today,
“Parents spend half their time
wondering how a child will turn
out and the rest of the time won
dering when a child will turn in.”

LEY'S acts promptly to help loosen up
thick, sticky phlegm — soothe irritated

ARE YOU JUST A
PUYTHINMUniK?
Nature may endow you with
breathtaking beauty, a lovely
curvaceous figure. She may be
stow gifts on you that make you
a brilliant actress, a leader in
your class at college, sought
after at dances, or a charming
wife and mother.
Yes, Nature may do all this.
And yet you may find your face
mockingly slapped if you suffer
these distressing symptoms,
which so many unfortunate
girls and women do.
Something You Should
Not Joke About!
So if female functional monthly
disturbances are causing you to
suffer from pain, nervous dis
tress and feel weak, restless, so
cranky and irritable that you
almost turn into a ‘she-devil'—
on such days—this is something
you shouldn’t joke about. Start
right away—try Lydia E. Pink
ham’s Vegetable Compound to
relieve such symptoms. It’s fa
mous for this purpose. And don’t
forget — Pinkham's Compound
does more than relieve such
monthly pain. This great medi
cine also relieves accompanying
nervous tension, irritability,
those tired-out, mean ‘pick-on
everyone’ feelings—when due to
this cause. Taken regularly
thruout the month—Pinkham's
Compound helps build up resis
tance against such distress—a
very sensible thing to do. Just
see if you, too, don’t remarkably
benefit! All drugstores.

mandment I give unto you. that ye love
one another: as I have loved you. that ye
also love one another.—John 13:34.
On the eve of his crucifixion our
Lord gave to his followers a striking
example of how true humility shows
itself in service to others.
Almost in the shadow of the cross
the disciples had fallen into an ar
gument about which of them should
be greatest. Christ showed them
the way of true greatness by an act
of menial service, giving them an
example for their own lives, a pat
tern of love.
I. Action (w. 3-11).
He who was about to wash his dis
ciples feet was fully conscious who
he was, whence he came, what hig
power was, and where he was going.
Verse 3 gives us a clear view of
our Lord’s knowledge of himself as
divine, sent by the Father and to
return to him. He was conscious
that he was King of kings and Lord
of lords—all things had been put
into his hands.
What followed would seem to be
a mistake—a misfit in the pattern of
the life of a being so great as the
one described in verse 3—except for
the fact that it was Jesus of whom
it was said.
He knew that real greatness
proves itself in the ability to stoop
if need be to minister to the hum
blest need. It was just likeNIesus to
take the place of the servant. It is
just like him to do the loving,
thoughtful, compassionate thing for
us today.
| meter s impulsive refusal to De
washed enabled the Lord to teach
him, and us, a needed lesson. The
one who had come clean and well
groomed to the feast needed only to
have the dust of the road cleansed
from his sandaled feet
Just so the one who has been
cleansed from his sins by the blood;
of Christ returns daily for the
cleansing of the stains and soil of;
the journey through this wicked!
world. We must remember that this I
constant cleansing (I John 1:7) is
necessary. It is not enough to make
a decision for Christ and receive
salvation; we need his daily grace
' for daily living.
□. Example (w. 12-15).
When he resumed his place at the
table, Jestfs faced a humbled and
ashamed group of men ready to
have driven home to their hearts'
the powerful meaning of the exam
ple which had been set before them.
They called him Lord and Mas
ter, and he agreed that they were
right. Now he had set them a pat
tern of lowly service. They had al
ready sensed the rebuke involved,
so he stressed only the positive side,
the need for them to do what he had
done.
It is one thing to understand what
has been taught, it is another thing
to put it into practice. Jesus con
ditioned his blessing on the doing,-1
rather than the hearing (see w. 18,
17).
We are told In James 1:22 that
the one who is a hearer of the
Word and not a doer of it is self
deceived. He is fooling himself
about his supposed spiritual prog
ress. God is not deceived by it, and
usually his fellow men are not de
ceived by his profession of what ha
does not have. How sad then to go
on deceiving himself and how fool
ish.
III. Command (w. 34, 33).
It is really not a matter of choice
for the believer whether he will live
in the light of this great example—
it is a commandment of God. Oh,
yes, it is a commandment of love,
but that makes it not less but more
binding on us who believe in Christ
By act and example he set before
his disciples the great and new
commandment of love, expressing it
self in loving service.
The measure of our love for our
brethren is the Igve of Christ Jesus.
That love, we all agree, was without
limit, unbelievably great inex
pressibly tender, infinite in its pur
pose and power.
We cannot measure up to it What
then shall we do? Surely we must
give to our very limit and beyond
that limit by God’s grace, of our
love for one another. Nothing less
will do, if we are to keep his com
mandment.
Such love between Christian breth
ren has always been the most ef
fective kind of testimony for Christ
As men see true and sacrificial love
shown between Christians, they are
drawn to Christ and the church. 1
The opposite is also true. Divi
sions and strife among believers
quickly become known to the world,
and are always a ground for scorn
ful rejection of the truth which the
church professes to believe and is
asking the world to accept We can
not effectively apply the gospel rem
edy (and it is the only remedy!) to
a strife-torn world while we are on-,
gaged in unlovely battles with one
another. “By this shall all men
know that ye are my disciples,” said
Jesus, “if ye have love one for an
other.”
