Mrs. L. H. Palmer. The meeting was

Mertzke had charge of the deyotionals
and opened the meeting with the 33rd
psalm. After the reading of the. sec
retary's report and reports of commit
tees, Mrs. George Moore gave short
parliamentary drill. Mrs. Mertzke
read an article, How the Nation Must

might be saved from their sins, even
if they paid the penalty of their
crimes by death, and the murderer's
eyes filled with tears as he thought Of
Christs love for him, murderer with
blood upon his hands.
God help us to realize that the only
safety is in the shed blood of the
lamb, but it's complete safely. Jesus
says: 81 am the Way, the Truth and
the Life. No man cometh unto the
Father but by me-" There is not any
other way. The words of Jesus are
very searching. He says, "Strive to
enter in at the straight gate" God
didn't intend that any of us should be
lost He was not willing that any
should perish. Sometimes when I
walk down the streets wonder how

living, of those that are there, Right
in our town, right in the midst ofsour
walking the streets we see those who
do not know God and according, to

to Christ and that We must recognize
this as our chief duty all the time.

In discussing the hereafter, Rev. J.
J. bingham of India at the First M.
E. church Friday night said in part i:
Jesus parallels are always wonder
fully fitted to the truth which he

Dante, in his "Inferno !" never grasped
such a concoction of torrents as the
Buddhist hell, and Dante has ex-
pressed for all time the conception
which the Roman Catholic church APP
proves of as it's doctrine of hell It's
a comforting doctrine to the man who
wants to walk in his own way, that
death is the end Of existence, but the

comes as naturally to humanity as it
does to breathe, to realize that our
humanity, with all its possibilities of
good and evil, demands both an eter-
nal place of blessing and an eternal
place of torment. You and I must con-
tinually remember that our race is
lost; that we are not dealing with
folks, on whole, that are in what
God intended to be a normal condi-
ton; dealing with humanity that sin

GAVE Up ONE JOB
AND LOST ANOTHER
(Kendall Keystonel

\ANOhocbAA Ivy otOhSJ
Herman w Kuehner, who was en-
gagged as assistant principal of the
Kendall schools, served the first two
days of the opening semester and then
quit his job. Miss Myrtle Roberts Of
Wilton took his place.
Mr.. Kuehner received an offer of
$50 more a month in Kansas than he
was getting here. That looked too
good to him to pass up, SO he asked
the school board for his release. A
meeting of the board was held and
his resignation accepted. However,
being obsessed with a fear that the
new job might not be an absolute GER
tainty, he asked the board to defer
action 48 hours until he could hear
from Kansas more definitely; but
the board insisted that he must decide
at once either to remain or quit the
job. He quit.
The Kansas job failed to material
ize. Kuehner sent two kilograms,
which elected no replies, and after
waiting until Saturday he returned to
his home at Milwaukee, feeling pretty
blue.
Kuehner is the son of a German
Lutheran minister who died about
four years ago. The young man did
not seem to make a very favorable
impression with the pupils. They did
not take him seriously as a teacher.
However, that is not criterion. He
might have developed unexpected
qualities, But it is q handicap to be
gin with.
