TEMP ERATURE
DROPS SUDDENLY
People Awoke Monday Morning
to Find Real Winter Weather

How cold was it? swas question
heard frequently on the streets and
IN business houses last Monday. 1t
was cold enough to suit most every
one if the different answers are any
thing to go by. The answers usually
started with, My thermometer show
ed that it was so and SO below zero.
And the different anwers varied quite
d. bit in different locations and in lo-
cations which We're not so far apart
either You could take your choice
of temperatures, ranging anywhere
from 4 above zero to 16 below zero.
The lowest temperature, according
to the government thermometer, was
i3 below zero. That is quite cold
enough, thank you, after enjoying
the wonderfully warm winter we hav
had
Coming along the street that morn
ing, readings were taken from diff
ferent thermometers. The tempera-
ture of the different thermometers
taken within a few minutes of each
other showed surprising results. For
instance, the thermometer at the
Wood County National Bank showed
10 below zero. A thermometer acros
the street less than a minute later,
showed 10 above zero; down the
street further were thermometers
which showed as high as 20 above
zero. The fact of the matter is
there are very few accurate Their
mometers-ones that have been test
ed and verified. You can't get a
good thermometer for small price.

CHRIsT's CALL TO SINNERS.

T. There Are None Righteous. The
lesson story is concerning the Phari-
see and publican, and the call of
Zacchaeus. The PhaIisee was self
righteous in his prayer when he gave
thanks because he was not as other
men, and particularly because he was
unlike the publican, standing prob
ably in the temple at the same time,
confessing his sins. Jesus in effect
condemned the Pharisee for being self
righteous, and commended the publ
can for his penitence because having
been a sinner, he prayed for Gods
forgiveness. From Gods standpoint
the Pharisee was the greater sinner
of the two. 1t is true, perhaps, that
his sins were not outstanding immOr-
alitieS, like those of the publican, but
they were the more subtle, and there
fore more dangerous sins of pride and
self-righteOusneSs. These two men
are types of persons living today.
There are Pharisees among the
preachers and among those who oc-
cupy the prominent positions in our
churches / sincerely hope that the
great majority OF professed Christians
are sincere followers of Jesus Christ.
but alas! there are many examples OF
the spirit of the Pharisee Every man
experience, that he is or has been
sinner. He may not be the kind Of
sinner who defies the public con-
science IN doing things which all men
admit to be wrong but he knows that
his life has been selfish, untruthful
unhOly.
?. Outward Acts Do Not Constitute
Righteousness. The Pharisee was, no
doubt, scrupuIously careful TO observe
the outward forms Of morality and
religion. He was a praying man, ana
in his prayer he said to God, Il thank
thee that I am not as other men are,
! eXtortiOners, unjust. adulterers l
/ fast twice in the week. / give uthes OF
all that / possess, Admitting that
/ all he said was true. the very spirit IN
which ne prayed proved that he was
a Journalist only. and that while ne
( was ouCwardly observing good FORM
in mis- heart he was a bad man. IL IS
a good thing 10 attend church and

moved with religious devotion, but II,
/ at the same time, we are in any meas

Rev. Anthony ZubowicZ, G. s. c. pas
tor Of st. Hedwige's parish. the pupils
of St Hedwige school entertained a
large audience with the most pictur-
esque and interesting program Friday
afternoon at the parish hall
One OF the most pleasing features

come down; for today l must abide at
thy house" He made haste, and
came down, and in accepting Christ's
invitation gave his heart to God and
became a follower Of Jesus Christ.
Christ's mission to the earth is to
saves them not in their sins. but from
their sins; he turns bad men into
good men. and makes sinners into
saints. Christ today is calling all
sorts of sinners. He is bidding even
the Pharisee to come to him. He is
also anxious TO save that most danger
Gus class, which, for the want of a
ners; men whose sins are only known
to themselves. and those who have in
innate dealings with them.
4. Christ Saves Sinners From Their
Sins. One Of the worst heresies 7
know is in teaching that God does not
actually save men from committing
sin, but that in some mysterious way
Christ's robe of Righteousness is
wrapped around the sinner when he
comes for salvation. and although he
is still q sinner. yet that God does
not look upon him, but upon the robe
in which he is wrapped. All the eX-
pressions which are used in the Bible
describing Christ's salvation indicate
that all who come to him are saved;
that they are born again and receive
new natures; that old things have
passed away and behold all things
have become new. Christ is a physi-
clan who cures the malady Of sin: he
makes all those who trust in him
really good. He not only blOts out all
our sins, but cleanses us from all un-
righteousness. Like Mary Magdalene,
out of whom Christ cast seven devils,
and filled her with seven angels in
stead so that the Holy Spirit thor
oughly changes the old, bad, sinful ma
ture of all who come to Christ, and
makes il good. The woman who
washed Jesus feet to express the
greatness of her love for him. whose
work and ministry of love were so
much appreciated by Jesus, had been
a common woman Of the street; but
by the grace Of God she was saved.
