REBEKAHs GIVE SURPRISE FOR
MESDAMES WEST AND WITT

The Reheckahs met at the H. N.
Witt home Friday evening to surprise
Mrs. Flora West, who soon leaves to
join Mr.. West in Scott City, and Mrs.
Mae Witt who has recently been mar
ried. The surprise was complete as
the ladies, thought the shower to be
for the. otker, little thinking that they
were both to be honored. Many USE
full gifts were received.
The evening was spent in piecing
nine-patch quilt blocks which, when
completed were presented to Mrs.
West and Mrs. Witt to be used in
making a Rebakah quilt. A most en-
joyable time was spent while piecing
after which Mrs. Witt served an ex-
eellent lunch.
Mrs. West is one Of the Rebeckahs
good members and has many friends
who will miss the pleasant association
that they have enjoyed with Sister
Flora during the few years she has
spent in Liberal; and the best Wishes
for comfort and happiness follow her
to her new home in Scott City where
she will without doubt make host
Of friends and assist in the work Of
the Rebekah Lodge in that place.
The Rebekahs in giving Mrs. Witt
their good wishes and congratula-
tions, congratulated themselves in
their good fortune Of keeping her
still q member Of their order, as the
Wits will make this their home.

is going to lose some sleep over thi,
campaign? I tell you It will moi
mean much to you unless you make
sacrifice for II.
Temptations came to Nehemiah
when he heard Of the condition Of
his home city. Satan said, You have
q good position here, you can do more
where you are, your influence viii
count for 50 much more than II you
gave IL all up and went to Jerusalem
That is the DEVILS wayne is always
for the soft pedal. There were many
Inconvenience in the thing Nehemiah
contemplated,-there were no pull
man cars running between Babylon
and Jerusalem. He could not make
the trip in an eight-cylinder automo-
bile. He had to count on great per:
sonal sacrifices. He received q good
salary and he would have to give II
up.
"If you make no personal sacrifices
for the Kingdom Of God it means
nothing to you. There are physical
difficulties in the way Of this evan
gelistic campaign-the weather more
than likely will not always be agree
able. But we ought to be bigger than
the weather. The post Office, the
blacksmith shop, the railroad all do
business no matter what the weather.
So ought the church Of Jesus Christ.
&" There are always two sets Of diff
ficulties to be faced in work Of the
kind in which. we are engaged. q They
are the internal and external. They
confronted Nehemiahz-poverty was
one Of them. He had to readjust the
whole. financial scheme Of the Jewish
people Another difficulty was that
the mobiles put not their necks to the
work. There are mobiles in every
community who are like those Of
Nehemiah's day. Liberal is sure to
have some. Usually they are in every
church. In some churches they pre-
dominate. Then you do not have q
church. You do not even have con-
gregation-merely an aggregation.
Some people are too good to work. /
have an ofiicer in my church Of whom
made o request and he replied,
Why, Mr.. Rayburn, IL ! do that ] will
have to miss my dinner What stu
pendous sacrifice. People like that
are 30 good that they are good for
nothing. In Q campaign like this
there are always those who sympa;
thixe with me because Of the hard
work ahead Of me. Well, just save
your sympathy for someone who has
the toothache.

Then there iy fidicule-sarcasm
It is used by the opposition continu.
ally. They tried it at Pentecost when
they said after Peters sermon that
they were filled with new wine They
said to Nehemiah that il fox should

down. It was huge joke. But the
Lord will take the juice out Of their
jokes.
"They also tried trickery. They
wanted to get Nehemiah to come
down to meet them in the village. He
refused, saying, 4 am doing q great
work, cannot come down. In other
words il you want to see me come
up where I am. The devil is very
scheming devil. He is not married
to q method. He will even use good
IL he can make it work to his end.
There are some things out Of place at
certain times. They may be good
things but they are in the wrong
place.
The social life is all right. Man is
q social being. But il social Affairs
interfere with Gods work they are
out Of place. It is no small thing to
put anything in the way Of the saliva

"There are two things necessary
to carry out this campaign to a sue
