HAVE NARROW ESCAPE One of the most miraculous es capes from a fatal auto accident was reported Sunday some eight miles south of Nebraska City, when the car driven by Tommy Thompson of Plattsmouth. went out of control on highway No. 75. The car, owned by Albert Thompson, a pipeline worker, was a total loss. The driver told garagemen that he had pulled out to pass a car when he saw a car coming from the opposite direction. While he was trying to 'pull his car back into his own lane, I the ma chine got out of control. It 'rolled over several times, but the oc jcupants escaped with nothing more serious than a scratched ear. BACK TO CAMP LEE Following a visit in Nebraska with relatives and friends Vincent Sund strom has returned to Camp Lee at Norfolk, Virginia. Last Saturday the Elmer Snndstroms and Vince were in Lincoln, guests of Mrs. Ralph Larson and family, and Sunday they were in Omaha as guests of Mrs. Yorta Davis and her family. Mrs. Larson is an aunt of Vincent's, and Mrs. Davis is his sister. Bible School Sunday, August 17 i "Peter Encourages Suffering Christians" I Pet. 4:12-19; 3:6-11. The subject under discussion, suf fering, touches every human being. It may be a painful experience; loss of property, of freedom; it may be caused by man's own folly, neglect, carelessness, oereonfldenee; it may be caused by others, purposely to in flict suffering. But that is not what Peter has in mind, the suffering he refers to is caused by persecution. especially by the Roman emperor, Nero, who tried to exterminate the j being Just aoout ngni in nis mm Christian religion. What these Chris- j ing and acting, his estimate or him tians endured in these persecutions j self is about H'O per cent. When com is almost unbelievable. (In Heb. 11 pared with the standard that God v e find a catalog of their suffering), j expects him to be, he is quite small; Peter calls this "fiery trial" a test j hence the exhortation "Humble your of their faith. History tells us that j selves." none recanted, but they went to i The habitual frame of mind of a their death singing Psulms. and with ehild of God is that of one who feels shining faces, eager to wear the i not only that he owes all his nat martyr's crown . . . rejoicing that ! "ral gifts to God. but that he has they were permitted to suffer like j been the object of undeserved, re their Master. ' deeming love, and who regards him- In this, that they endured the as being not his own but God's pain they became Christ like; as ! in Christ. As such he casts his (they shaved in his suffering, they would share in his glory. It would be a test of their loyalty to Christ. Bnt to rejoice in such a fiery test it took courage and faith, the faith that maketh not ashamed. To re - main steadfast and true is a sign "that the spirit of glory and the j spirit of God is upon you." He is j i n tnirit iiVii nnihlc- no r- alnrifv I the Christian, as the shekina lested I upon the tabernacle, and brings a i foretaste of that glory which is fully j given at the revelation. The Holy Spirit returns reproach into glory. If men have to suffer for their misdeeds, it serves them right, it is ! nothing more than a just punish- ment. Verse 17 brings to our at j tention the fact that believers are i tested for their loyalty, also for I cleansing and perfecting. But what t will happen to those who do not be lieve the Gospel, the only means to escapa eternal damnation? If such a test is required of the believers. ; fight. Faith is the victory! The God what chance has the ungodly and ! of al! grace, who has called us, re the sinner? (Let the teacher here : deemed us. will assist us to be firm make a strong plea to the uncon- verted, the lukewarm, the half - heart - ed for an immediate decision for Christ). Verse 19 is a summing up of the'ise; we are destined to share Christ's whole matter of suffering, it is lift-: glory. e-d to a new height; it reminds us All suffering has but one pur that the very suffering itself has been pese, to purify, cleanse, make ready allowed by God as an instrument for for our eternal home. It is worth all testing and proving us. This suffer- ( i; costs to gain heaven.

Lesson Study! By L. Neitzel, Murdock, Neb. i ing will end with this life. for the Christian . . . iu his heavenly Home "They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat, for the Lamb . . . shall feed them and shall lead them into living fountains of waters; and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes." (Rev. 7: 16. 17). We come now to our second part of the lesson stating "some great principles of true Christian living." Man is prone to think of himself as ! anxiety on uoa, iikc a cnnu uuis j E's father. I T1at is simple faith. "All" his j fares, none excepted. That covers a j lot of ground. Rev. Frane E. Graff 1 "as beautifully expressed this pas- "Does God care when my heart is pained Too deeply for mirth and song; As the burdens press and the cares distress. And the way grows weary and long? 0 yes, he cares, I know he cares! His heart is touched with my grief When the days are weary the long night dreary 1 know m- Saviour cares He cares." The watchfulness of the Christian is enjoined; the devil never sleeps, is always on the go. In an unguard ed moment he may overtake us. Resistance means a struggle a and steadfast; the trial, the testini j will end w hen we are found perfect ! in him.
