THE PLATTSMOUTH, NEBRASKA, SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL PAGE T.WO Thursday, August 19, 1948 WEEKLY BIBLE COMMENT, Great Women Among BY WILLIAM E. GELROY, IX D. TJECENTLY I wrote of the con , trast between the traditionally and supposedly inferior position of women in the past, and the actual power and prominence that many women have attained: like Deborah, great judge in Israel; Jezebel, Cleopatra, and Catherine of Russiaall powerful for evil or very doubtful good; Elizabeth of England, powerful monarch, and Victoria, whose subjects called her "the Good." y The same contrast is found in the history of the early Christian Church, where Saint Paul's atti tude of what would be called anti feminism today was in sharp con trast to the ministrations that Paul nevertheless accepted from women disciples in the churches that he founded and visited, and also in contrast with the part that women actually played in the Christian fellowship- One should not, of course, be too critical of Paul. He was so far beyond his age in almost every thing, that he ought to be forgiven for lagging behind in some re spects. But he was so able and logical in most things, it is strange that he did not see the logic of the facts concerning ; women in the church. Their great ness in saintliness and service '. ought to have freed them from the limitations that Paul imposed. But ;for the most part churchmen and , church councils of later times have ,been no more liberal or logical than Paul, though the Congre.ga : tionalists recently elected a woman WAVWVWVWWWWWW Our Churches EVANGELICAL UNITED BRETHREN Rev.

TPHO were the womenwhose names have at least a place of honor 'in 'the New Testament, even if they did not have all the free dom and power available to male disciples? . y- . Greatest of all was Mary," the mother of Jesus; Anna, the prophetess, stands with Simeon as the devout saint, awaiting the coming of the Messiah; Mary and Martha, of Bethany; were content to be humble, faithful disciples; Mary Magdalene is the type of fervent worshiper; the unnamed "mother of Zebedee's children" put fire into her sons, James and John, seeking to realize through them her intense ambition, But in the first generation of the church, following the death and resurrection of the Master, were women who through saint liness or force of character, or both, are famous for what they contributed to the Christian fel lowship. " , Dorcas, in the church at Joppa, "full of good works and alms deeds," made her sewing needle a means of grace and consecration, winning the love of those whom she clothed, and an honorable mention (Acts 9). Lydia, seller of purple, apparently successful in business, was equally energetic, and effective as a Christian (Acts 16). And there were other hon orable women, pioneers in service and distinction such as women have had in the ag-lang life of the church. ' ' r CHRIST EVANGELICAL AND LUTHERAN CHURCH Dr. A.

(Contents 3o not iieeessHtily express the opin ions of this ntswspauer.) ZZZ3 It is certainly gratifying to read the letter appearing in the Letter Box regarding the high rents now prevailing in this town, where those with but modest in- come are trying to live, the re- sentmcnt expressed is that felt by the majority of those who are obliged to pay rent, the question so often asked, is why Platts mouth is not under rent control, instead of allowing a few selfish money loving people who happen to have the advantage of being able to buy property and extort high excessive prices for the privilege of having a roof over their heads. Of course it is possible for of ficers, who are here one day and gone the next, who care nothing about building up the community who have no interest in the town, who have their quarters paid by the government, to meet the high rents but after all who is the government, but you and I who are paying the officers rent as well as their own mouth, who feels that rents are out of line in this community. ROMANCE REVIVED AFIER LAFSE OF 50 YEARS AUBURN, N. Y. (U.R) A ro-1 mance, interrupted by a lovers' quarrel 50 years ago, has been climaxed in marriage. The bride, Mrs. Bertha Swain, formerly of Auburn, flew the At lantic to England to marry E. R. Swain, her sweetheart of a half century ago. It was her third marriage. The couple had been engaged when they were in service to gether as housemaid and butler but there was' a misunderstand ing. They parted and the girl came to the United States, rela tives here said. Some time ago Swain, twice a widower, met a brother of his : early love and a letter of reunion followed. Where Duck Walk on Fish HARRISBURG, Pa., (U.R) The i Pymatuning reservoir spillway in western Pennsylvania is known as the place where the"the ducks walk on the fishes' back."

New Tractor Seat Makes Farm Life Easier COLUMBUS, Neb. u.P.)Farm ers throughout the world may ride easier because of the inge nuity of two young Nebraskans. The pair decided there was no reason farmers should be jolted and sometimes injured as theyi operate tractors, so they set out' to do something about it. j The inventors, Ivan Schmidt and Leonard Fleischer, devised a' tractor seat that eliminated all! discomfort. Schmid, 39, is farm-bred with ideas gained from operating tractors in the field. Fleischer, ! 37-year-old salesman, learned the needs of farmers in making his' rounds. j They pooled their talents. Dur-1 j ing 1944 they worked on new ! - seat ideas. In the spring of 1945 they made their first sales. Firm Expands In August of 1945, the pair in corporated for $10,000 and start ed manufacturing- in a 22-foot building. The firm was re-capitalized recently at $200,000 and has expanded into three more build ings, j The firs't thnig the inventors did when they tackled the pro- blem in 1944 was to buy a used 1 tractor for $50. They devised a ! hydraulic shock absorber under; the seat which stopped "seat spanking." 1 After a few sales of their orig- j ir.al model the firm provided an'1 air-cushioned seat to pad the con vention steel seat. However, on rough ground, farmers still were lurching from side to side. Stabilizer Used Fleischer and Schmid licked that by installing a gyroscopic stabilizer, adapted from the me chanism that kept tank guns lev el and accurate during the war. The final improvement dream ed up by the pair was a tilt-back arrangement to enable the farm er to tilt the seat and stand up right on the frame of the tractor. 7 CASS THEATRE i PLATTSMOUTH, NEBR.
