1 L a THE PLATTSIVIOUTH, NEBRASKA, SEMI-WEEKLY JOUHNA AGE TWO Thursday, September 21, 1950 1 fn REV. ROBERT B. HARPER . Paul. World Evangelist Lesson for September 24: Acts 26: 9-20 ' Memory Selection: 2: 2 Corinthians i' pAUL, native of Tarsus, came of a Jewish family that had ac quired Roman citizenship. Well j educated, and fluent in Greek. which was used throughout the j Roman empire, he was admirably ! fitted to become the Apostle to th Gentiles. J '. After being set upon in Jerusalem ! by a Jewish mob. and being sent by Roman authorities to Caesarea for his own safety, he despaired of I Justice from the Roman governor, and appealed unto Caesar and was 1 eventually sent to Rome. Mean- while, King Agrippa and Bernice came on a state visit to Festus, who had succeeded Felix as governor. rThey desired to see Paul and he j was brought before them. The les , eon text is a part of his defence. f Paul gave a brief history of his ; life and recounted in full his vision ' on the Damascus road, when the j risen Lord appeared unto him and j commissioned him as an Apostle to the Gentiles. And he stoutly I maintained that he had not been ''disobedient unto the heavenly ! vision." The world has learned how ! truly Paul spoke that day. ' The first to see Christianity as a world religion, Paul, in the course ! cf several missionary journeys and in his labors in chief cities of the Roman Empire, made Christianity a religion for all men. We are 'thankful for his great service to ; mankind. Let us each make sure cf redeemed life through the Christ Paul proclaims. OUR CHURCHES FIRST PRESBYTERIAN Seventh Street and Second Ave. Dr. H. G.

Fried chicken with all the tximmings maae up tne menu. Previous plans called for the City Park as the picnic site but was later changed at Mrs. Stones invita tion. A long table set up on their lovely green lawn was quickly filled with platters of fried chicken and soon to be heard, "m-mm isn't this good? Pass the potato salad and baked beans or make mine pickles, etc. Following the picnic those who wished went to the Chief Theater. I was told later that some of them went to Platts-I mouth to the King Korn Kar nival, but no names were avail able for this item. Mr. and Mrs. J. Alton Sterling, John and Dalene were Omaha visitors last Saturday, spending the day there Departmental work in the 6th, 7th and 8th grades has been reinstated here this year. Miss Maude Baldwin. 8th grade in structor, will teach geography and art, Mrs. P. H. Hinds. 7th grade, will teach reading, sci ence and health. Mrs. E. W. La Rue, 6th grade, will teach his tory and English. Each instruc tor will have her own arithme tic classes. Departmental work is no new thing here, having been used quite successfully for several years, but fell into dis use when some of the newer teachers didn't care to cooperate with the system. It stands to reason that we all have a flair for certain things and teachers are no exception. They excel in some subjects and can introduce them in a more understanding way than others. Bu using the departmental system each sub ject can be presented in a more efficient method and will, we hope, produce better grades for the pupils. According to custom and re quirements as set forth by the state health board of Nebraska, examinations were given for vi sion, hearing and dental defects. Out of 276 pupils enrolled ex aminations showed a total of 178 defects, of this number den tal defects reached the appal ling total of 88 pupils needing attention, next was nose and Mike Tritsch, O.

This, we would say. is quite alarming and it is hoped that the parents will use the results of these tests and check with their family doctor or dentist for further examinations and see to it that they are corrected.
