LUTHERAN CHURCH NOTES

The lesson treated in the Sun
dav School session Sunday morn
ing was the Baptism of Christ"
Our children were again remind
ed OF the power of Baptism.
BE baptised," says the word Ct
God, "and wash away thy sins. "
But the question arises: How can
water do such great thing as To
cleanse from SIM Answer: 1t is
not the water indeed that does
this but the word of God which
is in and with the water. for with
out the word Of God the water is
simple water, and no baptism.
Copper wire without connection

word of God, and therefore wash

An interesting fact brought to
light in connection with the scarcity

that four Utah coal companies have

proximately $425yOOO as damages
which they allege to have sustained
through failure of the railroads to

Der of cars for operations.

rather Unexpectedly, although Mr..
Bennett had been In poor health most

the age Of eighteen, in 1868, he sew
cred the ties which bound him to
his native country and crossed the
Atlantic ocean to begin life In Ameri-

cattle business In Owyhee county,
then sold out. He came to Noun
tain Home thirty years ago, secured
a ranch of two hundred acres and
went In the sheep business very ex-
tensively raising most of his own
