Surprise Birthday Party A jolly crowd of young people went to the home of Miss Eileen Stubbendick Saturday evening and took her completely by surprise. As it was her birthday, her Sunday school class at the M. E. church de cided that something must be done about celebrating the day, so they invited a few more young ladies and proceded to her home, where they enjoyed a most delightful evening. It took Eileen a short time to re cover from the surprise, but she made a most gracious hostess and the evening passed all too quickly. Broke the Other Arm Mrs. William Jameson was again unfortunate last week when she fell and broke her left arm. She fell when on the back steps of her home. We say that she was again unfor tunate for she broke the right arm in almost the same kind of an acci dent about a year ago. This fact makes this injury doubly hard to combat. Death cf Michael OXeary It was with saddened hearts that friends here learned of the death ot Bibk School Sunday, October 8th "Message of John the Baptist" John the Baptist has glory all his own. John did not just happen; the blood of fifteen centuries of priests coursed through his arteries. His father was the faithful Zacharias, accustomed to handling the holy things of Israel. From the building of the tabernacle before Mount Sinai down, his ancestors had been con spicuous in the service of Jehovah. The Jews had believed that Elijah was to revisit them. Elijah and John were so much alike that when John came the people who heard him said, "Elijah hath returned." But John was content to be just him self. He was "the voice in the wilder ness." The mothers of John and Jesus were cousins. We know nothing of John's childhood. He appears on the scene full-grown, strong, ready, clothed with the habiliments of a robust manhood. Luke makes the only statement we have concerning him prior to this time. Luke 1:80: "And the child grew and waxed strong in spirit and was in the deserts till the day of his showing unto Israel." He came not only into the wilder ness of Judea physically, but he found the world a wilderness relig iously. It is thought he began his ministry at a point on the River Jor dan where the caravans crossed, as this would be more attractive, and from the passing caravans he would draw audiences and they would carry the news to Jerusalem and the sur rounding country. Jesus walked sixty miles from his home in Nazaret to the wilderness where John was preaching. Our Lord was then thirty years old. The time had come for Him to enter upon His ministry. From the carpenter shop He came, the spotless son of Mary, and from the waters. He was raised and recognized as the only begotten Son of God. John knew Jesus to be a great character, a spotless man, ..and be cause of His goodness felt inferior to Him and considered himself un worthy to administer baptism to Him. John was told that on whomsoever he would see the Holy Spirit descend ing as a dove, that individual is the Michael O'Leary of Omaha last Sat urday while listening to a radio broadcast of the Nebraska-Indiana football g&nie. Born at Manley, Michael attended Weeping Water high school and made many warm friends here. After attending Weep ing Water high school, he went to St. Marys, Kansas, where he attend ed college. Mr. O'Leary served in the World War, as sergeant in the ammunition corps of the Rainbow division in- France. After leaving Manley, he was with the South Omaha stockyards for sev eral years. He was a man who made friends readily and retained warm friendship throughout the years since leaving here. The sympathy of the entire community goes out to the be reaved relatives. Cascade Chority Club Meets. One of the most active organiza tions among the women of this com munity is the Cascade Charity club, an organization of women south of town and all from the Cascade school district. For a period of several years, these women have met once a month and sewed for children of an orphan home. They make children's cloth ing and from the scraps left after cutting these garments, they fash ion quilt blocks and make comfort ers, which are also donated to the home. The material used in all of this work is donated by one woman, Mrs. John Rugha, who attends all of their meetings. Twenty women, all members of this club, gathered at the home of Mrs. Homer Jameson Wednesday af ternoon and spent a busy afternoon sewing, with a fine lunch served by the hostess late in the afternoon. Sang at Ashland Club Meeting Mrs. Earl Oldham. Mrs. C. C. Ral ston. Mrs. Ray Norris, Mrs. Henry Rugha. Mrs. Carl Hansen and Hrs. Walter Bickford were in Ashland Friday with the County Rural Wom an's chorus, who sang at the open ing meeting of the Ashland Wom an's club. On Thursday of this week the chorus will sing at the county meeting of Federated Women's clubs at Murdock and on October 17 they will sing at the state Federated club meeting at Lincoln. County Meetng of Auxiliary The fall county meeting of the American Legion Auxiliary will be lie Id at. Nehawka .Tuesday, Oct. 10. A large attendance is expected. The Lesson Study! Christ of God. John may have had reason to believe that Jesus was that individual before he baptized Him; but after the baptism he knew it positively, for the Holy Spirit de scended and God spoke, saying, "This is my beloved Son,, in whom I am well pleased." The next day John pointed to Jesus, saying, "Behold the Lamb of God that taketh away the sins of the world." Jesus was not baptized because He was sinful. He simply submitted to the plan of God. sayinfi "Thus it be eometb us to fulfill all righteous ness." Jesus' baptism was deferred until the age of thirty because this new regime was not in order until this time. It was the beginning of bap tism. Furthermore, in the old order, the priests did not enter upon their ministry until they were thirty years of age. Jesus, now being thirty, was jinducted into His office. John's baptism was in vogue from this time until the beginning of the, I Christian dispensation on the first j Pentecost after the resurrection of Jesus. From that time on we have Christian baptism, which is the jburial in water of a penitent believer in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins. That John's baptism was not to be accepted after the beginning of the j church in Jerusalem, is clearly shown in the nineteenth chapter of the Acts of the Apostles, where it is re corded tTiat Paul reimmersed twelve imen, in the city of Enhesus. who had been baptized by Apollos according to John's baptism. This Incident also gives weight to baptism; makes it more- than simply a form. It is a form of the ; death, the burial and the resurrec tion of Jesus. But it is more than jthat; it is the meeting of our Lord where He promised to meet us and Jin this obedience, prompted by faith jand preceded by repentance, we re ceive the rmission of sins; and hav ing been begotten of the Holy Spirit through the teaching of the Word, land being born of the water, we be- jcome new creatures and are heirs of Gcd and joint heirs with Jesus j Christ, i meeting opens with a covered dish luncheon at noon. A varied menu will be provided. The host unit is furnishing the rolls and butter, also coffee. Their members will also pro vide the pies, leaving the meat dish, potatoes, vegetable and salad to the visitors from the other four units of the count-. Weeping Water unit, which is to be host unit to the dis trict convention later in the fall, will probably send a large delegation to the county meeting. County Bankers to Meet Here The Cass County Bankers associa tion will meet in Weeping Water Thursday, October 21, when members of the association and their wves will assemble in the Odd Fellow hall for the opening of the meeting, after which the ladies will be entertained at a matinee at the Chief theatre, and then go to the home of Mrs. Frank Domingo for a social hour before they again join their husbands for the evening banquet in the base ment of the Congregational church. Preparations are being made for a fine program, and visitors are ex pected from other counties. And a Good Time Had by All The girls of the eighth grade at school decided to have a weiner roast all by themselves Thursday evening, so, accompanied by their teachers, Miss Brown and Miss Kincaid, they climbed to the top of the big hill east of town, near the Frank Ronne home and were having a fine time when the boys of the class spied them and soon got a supply of wein ers and other foods and joined them. The result was a "grand good time," as one who was there expressed his pleasure. Cleverly Planned Surprise Mrs. Thomas Murtey was sitting and reading on Wednesday evening, when there was a knock at her door. As she opened the door, the yard seemed to be filled with women. They proved to be the members of the Cheer-a-Bit club, who had de cided to give her a housewarming, as she had recently moved into a home of her own after having made her home in the Olsen Apartments for the past three years. They had brought well filled baskets which produced a delicious luncheon, and a merry evening was spent. It has always been said that a woman could not keep a secret, but the secret of their coming had been so well planned that the hostess was completely taken unawares. Held Annual Picnic in Lincoln Mr. and Mrs. George Olive moved into their new home east of the Con gregational church last Saturday. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Wood were in Lincoln Sunday attending a pic nic at Pioneer park which has be come an annual affair, and is always held the first Sunday in October. The guests are old friends.

Shrauger's Pharmacy, Stock's Filling Station and John son's Cafe were responsible for the program. Among the other good things presented, was a surprise when Tommy Watson, of the KMMJ radio station at Grand Island, was introduced and delighted the audi ence with his banjo and with his violin later when there were danc ing numbers on the program. Mrs. Watson accompanied him and sang one number, accompanying herself on the guitar, with Mr. Watson playing the violin.
