Bringing Christ '
i —
ST.LOUIS, Mo,—In a special
I radio address heard over the Mut
ual Broadcasting System and af
I filiated stations, the Rev. Dr. John
I W. Behnken, President of the
Missouri Synod Lutheran Church
spoke on ‘ Comfort for the Afflict
ed”. Heard over the International
Lutheran Hour, Dr. Behnken de
clared: ‘ When we consider the
horrible aftermath of the world’s j
most terrible holocaust, there
leaps to our attention the suffer
ing of millions so appalling that
it beggars all description. ^Perhaps
we do not like to hear it. Perhaps
we are becoming calloused to ac
counts of suffering which know
no parallel. Perhaps we have
hardened ourselves to the cries
of distress and to the pathetic
pleas for help. We are thousands
of miles removed from the actual
woe and misery and besides we
are so engrossed with our mater
ial affairs that we pay little or
no attention to he pitiful plea. It
is good that from time to time
government experts forcibly re
i mind us that there is urgent need
of physical relief because people
• are hungary. Yes, they are hunary.
Millions are undernourished. They
need clothing and shelter. Many
are sik and the severe winter has
claimed many victims.”
The radio speaker continued:
“Saint Paul’s most convincing
evidence of comfort and assurance
reads: “Our light affliction—
worketh for us a far more exceed
ing and eternal.'' The apostle
draws a comparison between the
weight of glory.” The apostle
draws a comparison between the
weight of affliction and the
weight of glory. Affliction has its
weight but it pales into insignifi
cance when compared with the
weight of glory. Note well that
the apostle who ordinaily is not
given to the use of superlatives
in this instance not merely uses
the term “exceeding” nor does he

Lime Essential
Lime is essential on acid soil# fcrr

pasture plants. To promote this de4
fired growth, sufficient lime should
be applied to change the acid condi
tion to a near neutral poird. Under
most conditions’in the upland area
the addition of lime to the. soil also
provides-'calcium for plant growth.

"and My Electrie Range
Proved Itself 100% Clean"
“I mw your ad,” say* Mrs. Moen, "about wiping •
pan. just off the range, with a clean towel. Well, I tried
it And the towel stayed white as snow. I really wasn’t
surprised. Ever since F ve had my electric range, I
haven’t had to scour pots and pans. Dirt and grease
don’t collect on my walls and curtains, and there’s not
all that greasy ‘fuzz’ behind the range, either. Electric
cooking is absolutely clean! I’m completely satisfied with
it in every other way, too. I wouldn't ever trade it for
another cooking method!”

Once you’ve cooked on an electric range, you'll agree
that- it’s superior in every respect. If you're not already
cooking with flameless electricity, why put off enjoying
modern cooking any longer! Why oot have an electric
range in your kitchen!
