I Baker Eddy, "The true theory of M By REV. ROBERT H. HARPER H" Ait Always in the Presence '' of God. Lesson for December 18: Isaiah 7 14; Jeremiah 2 31; Luke 1. Memory Selection: Jeremiah 29: 11-13. THE TROUBLED mind of man has been tormented endlessly, throughout every age of his civili zation, with the immense question Is God with us? Is God with me? But the answer has always been there. God is with us. He is at hand for all men who seek Him. That is often the difficulty the necessity for seeking. A man who denies the existence of that neces sity might never find God. or at J the best, approach only part of the way to His grace. Jeremiah points the way to a full realization that God is ever available, "Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me. and I will hearken unto you. And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart." God is eternally with us, and God's promised blessings always have been fulfilled. To his con fused and spiritually downtrodden people Isaiah prophesied: '"For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonder ful, Counselor, The Mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace." The prophets of Israel never doubted God nor His sublime pres ence in the affairs of all peoples. The presence of Christ on earth bore out that supreme belief and continues now to sustain us in cur knowledge that God IS with us. The choir on Friday at 7:30. Saturday school at 9: CO.

Your name must be sijrnfrt to all articles intended for publication, liowevnr, by request it can be omitted from the letter ppeariMBT in piijit. (Contents do not ne"ossarily express the opin ions of this newspaper.) I want to take this oppor tunity to thank you and your ; newspaper, The Plattsmouth ; Journal, for the cooperation and assistance you have given the Cass County Tuberculosis and ' Health Association in carrying , out the plans and publicity foi j the 1949 Christmas Seal Sale j Campaign. Your advice and j help is greatly appreciated, j At the same time, there are other workers in Cass county who should be singled out for praise. Sunerintendpnt, Tnm .t Friest of the Plattsmouth school.-, and Miss Ruth Dickinson, Plattsmouth high school com mercial instructor, have been most helpful. Miss Dickinson's typing classes addressed the 5373 seal letters which went out to Cass county residents. The Rev. and Mrs. John Pry or of Weeping Water accepted the responsibility of finding vol unteers to fold the 11,000 sheets of seals and with the assistance of Mr. Schmadeke, delivered the seals to Louisville. Mrs. R. O. Sands of Nehawka took full charge of the publicity and also assisted Mrs. W. A. Got of Nehawka in seeing that all the letters were folded. Their efficient helpers were the Girl Scouts of Nehawka. Mrs. H. Davis of Louisville ac cepted the difficult task of get ting enough volunteers to stuff all the envelopes, sort them to post offices, place the seal on UNITED PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH Murray, Nebraska Roy P. Morris, Pastor 10:00 a. m. Bible School, with classes for all ages, James Corn stock, Supt. 11:00 a. m., Morning worship, with sermon "The Many Sided Christ." , the back and tie them in pack- ages of fifty. I also want tc j thank the American Legion at j Louisville for the use of their j lovely hall during the stuffing j 'parties.' j There are many other com- munity-spirited individuals, too numerous to mention, who have given freely of their time. Still others have promised to help out as the campaign progresses. It added greatly to the rou tine tasks of the many postmas ters in the county to see that nearly 5500 letters were deliv ered in one day. They have been very helpful, patient and considerate at all times. Since volunteers keep the files, there are occasional duplications, miss-spelling and wrong addres ses used on the envelopes. But in spite of all the complications, the postal authorities have as sisted us in correcting the er rors wherever possible. This will be the only time the residents of this county will be asked to support the Cass Coun ty Tuberculosis & Health As sociation, financially, and its work depends entirely upon the proceeds from the annual sale of the Christmas Seals to carry on its work. The money is usod for prviding X-rays where need ed, finding unknown cases by means of tuberculin testing clinics, preventing the spread of tuberculosis by means of health education and scholarships to teachers and also by furnishing funds for the rehabilitation of, tuberculosis patients and fam-' ilies. This work benefits every resident of Cass county by pre venting the spread of this di sease. This communication is the best means I know to thank all the people for their help and sup port in this fund raising cam paign.
