If we are surrendered to Christ we
shall not surrender to self.
The great indictment that Christ
brought against the things for which
men were giving their lives was that
they were not worth while. They
were not in themselves bad, but they
were of minor importance; they did
not last. His summons to men was a
summons to rise. to loftier concep-
ton of life. He babe them lift up
their aims and quit the mere exist
ence which took no count of highest
things. Jesus implanted in mems
breasts divine and eternal ambition.
"Seek first the kingdom" cried he;
these lesser and incidental things will
then fall into their proper place and
be added unto you. They of them
selves, as life aims, are not worth a
thought.
For all that men have trusted
Christ in the past, we may trust him
today. Every triumphant Christian,
every martyr, every hero of the faith,
and the Church of God itself, are all
witnesses to the truth that our Lord
is to be unwaveringly trusted for
everything needful.
The ghost of tomorrow haunts many
persons. They fear the future. They
worry about what the days may bring
forth. And by this worrying and
fretting care they incapacitate them
when 1t does come. The Master wants
us to trust him for the tomorrows.
They are his, stored up by his hand.
and therefore laden with nothing but
take the place of trembling and faith
the place of fear.
The secret of faith, the secret of en-
durance, the secret of success in the
Christian life. is seeing him who is
keeping the eye firmly fixed upon him
in whom faith has its beginning and
end. Would you trust more? Then
look at Jesus more.
All of a Christians power is i'm
parted power.
A child goes driving with his father
and pleads to hold the reins. He is
permitted to do so-above where the
fathers hand grips them. The real
guidance and control is with the faith
fret to be given free rein over the
world within and without; but we are
safe only when we let the hand of
Omnipotence control.
The power of the father is the pro-
lection and peace of the child.
An obedient child delights in the
presence of it's parent: a disobedient
child breads it. What we think of the
omnipresence of God is largely de-
termined by what our moral attitude
toward him has been.
We should be proud to have a house
that had been planned by a famous
architect: 3ut our life may be planned
by the most glorious of all archi-
tects.

Live in Flesh and i'm Spirit.

Those who hear the Gospel and &C.
cept its terms of conservation unto
the Holy Spirit as New Creatures
"partakers of the Divine nature" have
SO to speak. a dual existence from the
time of their begettal of the Spirit.
From Gods standpoint they are New
Creatures begotten to the Divine ma
ture, which, If faithful, they will fully
obtain in the "First Resurrection. u
Yet according to all worldly concept
of the matter they are still human be-
ings, very much the same as they were
begettine The world may. indeed, see
certain changes more or less radical in
their conduct and words. but, like as
not, these will appear to the worldly
merely as fads, fancies. eccentricities
Perhaps, indeed. as in the case of st.
Paul, they may be considered as "be-
sides Acknowledgement. Hence, as
the apostle declares, 1.-THE world know
eth US not. even as it knew him not
Il John iii. -. The world did not
know Jesus to be begotten Of the Holy
Spirit, the Son of the Highest. etc,
nor does the world yet know that he
is highly exalted at the Fathers right
hand. So also it is with the followers
of Jesus. They similarly have re-
ceived a Spirit begetting and, similar
ly, in due time, are to experience the
glorious change of the First Resur-
rection" and be perfected on the new
plane of the Divine nature.
Judged of Men-Judged of God.
Note again the apostles words re-
speeding these Spirit-begotten follow
ers of Jesus, the little flock" who
walk In his footsteps Of self-sacrif1ce.
He says that these will be judged ac-
cording to men in the flesh, but ac-
cording to God in the Spirit. Men not
knowing us as New Creatures in
Christ may think of US and approve
or condemn as they would think of
and approve or condemn others-ac-
cording to the flesh. The world will not
see that in these New Creatures there
is a battle in progress-the New
Creature seeking to conquer the flesh
and to bring it into subsection to the
Divine will, but not always able to
do so.
All we can do is to do our best,
whether our best shall be as good as
or better than that of our fellow
creatures who are not Spirit begotten,
but who may be less depraved by ma

are not to be judged by human judg-

through the blood of the cross. and
who begat US with his own Holy Spirit
to his own Divine nature. He will
judge us according to the spirit-ac-

He would vote against one-cent post

vote against making magazines pay

as he voted against establishing post

to offend the magazines any moro

The same logic applies to demo.

block the legislation that a republi-
can president is trying to get enact
ed. Anything that will prevent the
Republican president from gaining
popular favor, no matter how meri-
torous the measures that he asks
for, and no matter how much the pco-
pie may want those laws, will find
subtle opposition from the democratic
congressman and senators.

age plan and higher magazine post.
age rate, he has great many highly
important measures that the people
want enacted into law. But demo,
cratic senate and democratic house
could block every single measure that
he might suggest.
That's why it is a very vital matter
to send republicans to congress and
20 the senate at this time-men who
will help pass desirable laws instead
of trying to block them for political
reasons.
No greater mistake could be made
by the people of northern Nebraska
at this time than to vote against Boyd

When Mr.. Hitchcock. democratic

as in Norfolk the other day, he dis
covered a dramataic and deep laid
conspiracy to let the people of the
eleventh senatorial district (Madison,
Wayne, Stanton and Pierce counties)
and the people of Madison county
have a voice in the choosing of the
next United States senator from Ne
braska. He spent several hard earn
ed dollars which might better have

to make the voters of this county and
of this senatorial district forget that
the republican candidates for the
state legislature from this county and
district, are the only ones who will
vote for the peoples choice on United
States senator.
The News said the other day that
the only way in which people of this
county and this Eleventh district
could vote effectively for Burkett for
senator, was to vote for Charles Nc
Leod of Stanton county for the state
senate and for George N. Beels of

titled the voters that they will vote
for a democrat for the United States
senate, regardless of the peoples
choice as recorded in the coming
election. In the primary campaign,
Phil Kohl of Wayne, who was nomi-
mated by the democrats for the state
senate from the Eleventh district
failed to promise to vote for the peo.
pies choice, thus going on record with
the declaration that If elected he will
vote for democratic United States
senator, no matter what the people
of Nebraska say with their ballots.
H. C. Matrau of Norfolk, the demo
cratic nominee for representative of
Madison county, went on record as
refusing to promise to abide by the
popular choice, so he, too, will vote
for a democrat for the United States
senate, if he is elected.
If Kohl and Matrau are elected,
there 'ore, the people of this county
and district have no voice in the max
ing of the United States senator. Both
these men, If elected, would vote for
a democrat for the senate, no matter
what the majority of the people of
the state should decide.
But the people of Madison county
and the people of the Eleventh dis
trict can have voice in making a
United States senator, if they will
vote for Mcleod for the state sen,
ate and Beels for the state legisla'
ture. These two candidates, if elect
