How can these conditions be changed? Not by law; that has been tried! Only by chang ing the nature of man. and that is the work of God through the church and Sunday sehool and church mem bers setting a good example. The drink evil is almost as old as the human race; will it always be with us? No. the day will come when the world will be full of knowledge of the Lord, then this curse will disappear. Until that time the war will go on the victory will be our Christ's and his co-laborers. They will share in the glory of the final overthrow of the forces of evil. The law that operates in nature of sow ing and reaping. This seems to be so simple that it hardly needs an ex- To recognize this is ! planation: but thousands act and live as if they would prove that that is a doctrine of some old fogy. Put do we have to prove that Paul's statement to the Galations is "Weighing Consequences'' (A Prin ciple of Temperate Living) . Prov. 1:7-10; Isa. 5:11, 12; 1S-23; Gal. 6:7-9. "The fear of the Lord is the be ginning of knowledge; But the fool ish despise wisdom and instruction." This verse stands out as a motto, or key-note, both of the whole book and of the whole subject of which the book treats. The writer seems to say, I give you the right to enter the house of knowledge, showing you the chambers, stored with rich treas ures. P.ut as you approach the por tal, note well the inscription above it: "The fear of the Lord is the be ginning of knowledge." The house is not a palace, but a temple. They only who reverence the Deity, who inhabit it, are admitted within the shrine. It is the temple of God; yet rot that only, but of Jehovah, the God of Israel, the God of revelation and of covenant the beginning, the necessary con dition, tiie essential prerequisite of knowledge. Those who seek know ledge in any other spirit or by any other path really "despise wisdom and discipline," and in so doing show themselves to be not wise men, but "fools." "Who is the Lord? My creator, my preserver, my redeemer. What then, is his fear? My relationship to him. "In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths." No one has true knowledge unless they know God, acknowledge that man. is made in the image of God, intended for fellowship with God, d ulti mately must stand before (iotf. Man cannot understand the world around him, unless he first realizes j that the world is made by God. The Father becomes a teacher, giving in- struction to the inexperienced. The instruction of the Father and the Law of the mother are to be accept ed with childlike submission and un questionable obedience. Here is where the modern child and parent differ; children do not obey their parents, and consequently often land in pris on. Too often parents obey not God's law and set a bad example for the children, then the parents reap the harvest of sorrow and shame. This applies also Isaiah's teaching! For drinking fathers will see their sons yes, today, even their daughters, and the mother, also frequenting the taverns. And why shouldn't they? Ought not parents set the ex ample? Other vices and bad habits come under the same condemnation. Under the influence of strong drink, in the backroom of saloons, political slates are put up. This is partly the Weeping Water Mayor Troy L. Davis was a busi ness visitor in Omaha Monday, mak ing the trip in his car. Earl Oldham was a visitor in Omaha Tuesday, taking a partial load of cream and poultry, as well as some stock for the farmers, which he delivered to the yards in Omaha.

WEEPING WATER BOY WINS Later in the day Russell Fallon and HONORS ON ART COLLECTION! Pern Wallen. of Elkhorn, Nebraska, In the County Court of Cass Ccun tu. Nebraska. To all persons interested in the estate of Emma McCarroll, deceased. No. 34G3: Take notice that the Administra tor of said estate has filed his final report and a petition for examina tion and allowance of his adminis tration accounts, determinatio i of heirship, assignment of residue of said estate and for his discharge; that said petition and report will be heard before said Court on August 16, 1940, at ten o'clock a. m. Dated July 19, 1940. A. H. DUXBURY. (Seal) j22-3w County Judge. NOTICE OF FINAL SETTLEMENT true? Any twelve year old boy on the farm knows it is true that what soever a man soweth that will he al so reap. Our present life is the seed time, of an eternal harvest. We know t hat seed produces oft thirty, sixty and an hundred fold. We have ex amples in the scriptures. Jacob lied to his father, Isaak, saying: "I am thy son, Esau." In later years ten of his sons lied to him, saying: "We found this (bloody) coat; see if it is thy son's coat." See the harvest of an ovr indulgent father, Eli; see the record of his sons (I Sam. 2:12 17; and the harvest (Chap. 4:10-18). Who has not seen or heard of men who live intemperately, indulging in the excesses of immorality and who as a result of their acts invariably come to grief, losing health, manhood, self respect, courage, becoming tow ards and then frequently suicides. Many who try to cover up their unchaste lives take the seemingly easy way out. The harvest is sure that crop never fails. This being so, the church is en deavoring constantly to persuade men to turn from their' evil ways and sow to the spirit and reap eternal life. God himself calls out to men: "Why will ye die; I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but that men should repent and receive God's pardon." God will assist man, if he will but make an effort to be saved. His arms and mercy are always out stretched to receive and welcome the vilest sinner, cleanse and him for his eternal home. Painting County Bridges Harry Allen of Elmwood was in Weeping Water Tuesday, looking af ter business matters. Mr. Allen, who is a painter, has been painting some of the bridges over the "Weeping Water creek, both east and west of town. This time the bridges are be ing painted white, as this is con sidered much better than the custo mary dark color 'used in the past. Night drivers find they show up a great deal better. WEEPING "WATER, July 2 4 (By Special Correspondence) Dr. Fred Colbert, son of the late Mr. and Mrs. John Colbert, and a former Weeping Water boy. has recently won honors with his 139 piece collection of drawings and paintings at the Cali fornia Physicians Art Association exhibit at the California medical con vention. Dr. Colbert also had pic tures on display at the Golden Gate exposition at San Francisco. He has won particular attention with his southwestern landscapes. Another field of interest to Dr. Colbert is the collecting of historical antiques. When he was visiting here last year, he secured some of great interest which had been in his fam ily from early pioneer days. Many Applicants for CCC Camp Mrs. Elmer Sundstrom of Platts mouth was a visitor in Weeping Wat er Tuesday, bringing seven young men from Plattsmouth and Green wood for entrance to the camp here.
