JUL r 3 THE PLATTSHOUTH, NEBRASKA, SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL PAGE TWO Thursday, November 3, 1949 TAs Prophet Preaches Social Righteousness (Temperance) Lesson lor November 6: Isaiah 5: 1-12 Memory Selection-. Isaiah 5:20 .TTNDER THE FIGURE of a vinc , yard, to which every care had been given, the prophet sings of .the moral condition of Judah and .predicts the ruin to come upon '.the nation. When the vineyard brought forth wild grapes, the owner ceased his care and it went to waste. After gaining the people's atten tion, Isaiah applied the story of the vineyard to the life of Judah. The nation was going to waste. The, forming of vast estates at the ex pense of the common people would bring disaster to the greedy own ers. The mighty would be humbled. Social injustice would bring ruin to those who perpetrated it. A terrible sin of the trme was in dulgence in strong drink. The con dition of Judah may remind us of the condition in our own country. The roadhouscs, night clubs, cock tail lounges, and liquor stores are filled with men and women who are like unto those in Judah who tarried late into the night till wine inflamed them. An ominous feature of the pres ent "situation is the indifference of the majority of our people toward .that situation in our counry. The most of Christian men and women seem little concerned about the alarming growth of drinking and drunkenness in the land. Eouse you. Christian people: open your i eyes and see how vice is threaten ing the heritage from your fathers, while there yet is time to save many of our people from the grasp of greed and drunkenness.

Since the Bible teaches that a person is saved through faith in Jesus Christ "Without the deeds of the Law," then why go to church? Why try to keep the Ten Commandments? Why do good? Recently someone asked these questions. The Bible also teaches that such faith is something whic.hl the Spirit of God works in the sinner through the Word of God. Such a God-given faith exists when a sinner is created in Christ Jesus, or as Jesus de clares, "is born again." Such a God-given faith is .n active thing. It draws the forgiven sinner close to God. It leads him to worship, privately and publicly. It causes him to walk in the way of God's Command ments. However, it is not' church go ing and doing good that saves. It is the forgiveness of sins re ceived alone through faith in Jesus Christ that saves. Many go to church and expect to earn salvation with their deeds with out believing that "the blood of Jesus Christ, His Son, cleans eth us from all sin." 1 John 1, 7. i iMuivrn. i irruri?

THOUSANDS OF CATHOLICS in the United States have ven erated the relic of the arm of St. Francis Xavier, who is one of the most renowned missionaries in the church, in each of the stops on its current tour of the nation. One of the largest single crowds to venerate the relic filled the fieldhouse of Xavier University, Cincinnati, where services, were held October 5. More than 5,000 persons participated in the solemn , ceremonies in honor of the re markably preserved relic, the glass enclosed right hand and fore arm bone of the saint. The relic was brought to the United States from Japan where it was taken during the summer in observance of the 4GCth anniversary of the arrival of St. Francis, the first Chris tian missionary to reach the shore of Nippon. It will be re turned to its permanent reposi- . tory in Rome following conclud ing American services Decem ber 3 in St. Patrick's Cathed ral, New York City. The Rev. Arthur J. McGratty, S.J., who has been custodian of the relic on its tour, estimated that well over 1,000,000 Catholics in the United States will have viewed the relic before it leaves the country. Cincinnati was the 14th diocese among 30 to be visited. In one day alone, 100,000 persons viewed the relic when it was shown in the Church of the Immaculate Conception in New Orleans. A con tinuous stream of people filed by the relic from morning until night there, Father McGratty said. In Spokane, he said, a 118-car motor guests. Mrs. Chas. Patch, solo ist.

"The republican party must serve as an instrument of all persons, not as the tool of the business, labor, veterans, farm ers, or any other single class or group. "We must drop partisanship at the ocean's edge The Unit ed Nations must be strengthen ed so that ultimately a federal world government with limited powers adequate to prevent wars may be created." The battle of the two Dakotas and Montana to get a bigger share of power from the Mis souri river continued this week, although Gov. George Mickelson of South Dakota said he would not call a special session of the S. D. legislature to deal with , the problem. The three states voiced their demands at a three-day moet j ing of the Missouri Basin Inter-'-Agency committee at Bisinark. j ATorth Dakota. ! A definite proposal to change j the distributive setup will like i ly be made when the Inier I Agency holds its meeting here December 1. STATE HOUSE SHOUTS State Engineer Fred H. j Klietsch said Nebraska .pent, j $12,607,715 in highway main j tenance, construction and re j pairs during the first nine months of this year. ; Ben J. Sallows, former Aili- ance publisher, said, during a J call on Gov. Peterson: "West- ern Nebraska is enjoying the j finest road system since black- ! top was discovered. The Rev. Edward T.

The American reception par allels the reception the relic was accorded in Japan. At one stop in Nagasaki, 15,000 Cath olics attended solemn mass on the site of the atom-bombed Urakami Church. St. Francis Xavier, born in 1506 in Navarre, Spain, was one of the CAPITOL -NEWS - (Compiled Cy Nebraska Press Ass'n.) Lincoln Nebraska's unem ployment this week showed a sharp increase over last year, but Labor Commissioner Ddnald P. Miller said the state is con siderably better off than many sections of the nation. Records of Miller's depart ment showed 1,010 drawing un employment compensation now compared to 628 at the same time last year. An additional 365 had applications for com pensation pending, as against only 133 in 1948. The labor commissioner said the Nebraska picture conforms to the national pattern, but on a much reduced scale, even "considering the population va riations between Nebraska and costal areas." Miller said, "since there isn't so much manufacture in Ne braska, we're not so seriously affected." Miller said the Hastings area, where the closing of the naval ammuniticn depot threw hun dreds out of work, is the state's darkest spot. He said six or seven per cent of the city's w-orking force was jobless, but contrasted this to the 25 per cent Rhode Island reported last summer. Meanwhile, the State's assis tance rolls remained pretty much the same length they've been for the past ten years, ac cording to State Assistance Di rector Neil C. Vandemoer. But the cost has gone up sharply. Nationally Vandemoer said, the numbers of those seeking aid have increased ahnost con stantly in recent years, but in Nebraska, the level remained static. Last month's records showed 23,813 aged persons re ceiving aid, 8,155 dependent children and 535 blind. In 1939, the average monthly grant to those receiving, old age assistance amounted to about $23. Last month, the cost was $47.37. Similar hikes have come in the ADC and blind payments. Supporters of the proposed 77,070-acre Loup Basin Recla mation District, will have "no trouble" securing enough sig natures to form the district, ac cording to Cyril P. Shaughnes sy, district attorney who filed the first petition with the state irrigation : bureau. The district will serve Howard, Sherman, Valley and Custer counties. The proposal is the second under. a law passed by the 1947 legislature. The other district is controversial Mid-State. A suit is now before the state supreme court challenging constitution ality of the law. Named directors for the pro posed Loup Basin District: Rudolph Manasil, Martin Sack and Alvin Christensen, St. Paul. Ray Lewandowski and C. S. Lukasiewicz, Farwell. Peter I. Badura, Ashton. Harold Grint, Frank Wells, Dale Price and George R. Sem ler, Sargent. Arnold Krogh and Anders Nielson, Dannebrog. The district proposes two units: Farwell and Sargent. In the Farwell unit, a main canal and several smaller canals would irrigate 54,500 acres of tableland and 1,170 acres of benchland in the middle Loup valley. Most of this is not now irrigated. Hydroelectric power is proposed by a large reservoir on Oak Creek between Loup City and Ashton. In the Sargent unit, 21,400 acres would be irrigated by two large canals. The Sargent ca nal would service the north side of the Middle Loup valley east to Comstock and the Lillian, the south side from Milburn to Wal worth. S diversion dam north Loup would supply water to both. A hydroelectric plant first Jesuit priests. He traveled through India, Malaya, and Japan in ten years of missionary labor during which he baptized approxi mately 1,000,000 people. He died in 1552 and a year later was re buried in Goa, India, scene of many of his heroic accomplish ments. His right arm was severed at the elbow from his body in 1614 and sent to Rome. west of Milburn on the Middle would be located on Lillian creek near Gates. Gov. Val Peterson has some thing to say about the Republi can party. Speaking on the New j York Herald-Tribune's Forum, the chief executive repeated his ! proposal for a G.O.P. meeting "to outline a set of principles upon which the party is willing to stand and fight, regardless of the political consequences." The governor said the failure I to define the republican posi tion before the heat of a cam j paign makes it nearly impos ; sible for the party to escape , slipping into either the error of ' "Mee-too-ism" or blind opposi- tion. Other quotes from the gover . nor's speech : . "The' maintenance of a free competitive society must be the party's major aim. "Take a firm stand against the tendency toward economic monoply of the government and look with equal mistrust on private monoply. "The farmer must have help in the marketing of his crops.
