ASKED 0F PASTORS.

Rev. DR.. Stoetzer spoke last evening
regarding questions asked him from
time to time. He said A pastor in his
experience is asked many questions
growing from serious things in life
and will endeavor to give q few eX-
plantations and reasons for some OF
these questions. The first question
was, What help you can give one
about to undergo surgical opera.
tion?" DR.. Stoetzer said such an oper-
alton was often thought the most serl-
GUS step in a PERSONS life that one
often faced life or death at such time
and that he usually impressed upon
the patients mind one OF several Bible
thoughts. Il will never leave thee OF
forsake thee" was comforting line.
Fear not, am with thee" was an.
other. He suggested that the sick per.
son think Of butone verse and con.
tinue to think Of It. 1t was necessary
and best to lay aside every care no
matter how big the problems were.
Christians always stand operations
best because they relax and feel the
Lord is standing ready to sustain.
enc always comes out out ether best
when free from worry or strain.
The second question What is the
simplest condition in order to become
Christian?" was answered best with
the words, Believe and We shall be
saved" DR.. Stoetzer said that min
illcd with good thoughts had no roor.
for evil. To live by Christ and Wa.
him continually was the. simplest coli
dition necessary. To do this men necl
help from on high.
The third question, Why does not
the church pay sick benefits as does
a lodge?' Rev. Stoetzer answered ii
this manner: The lodge limits me-
bership to certain years; catching
man during his productive years. Nc
drones can gain membership to
lodge. In this way the charge or lod
dues are min!glized h chr"rh :"

and conditions. SINE churches
spite of this are considering this We
ming but it will require much more
machinery than is now mamtaAeu.
Can one hold to Christian scicc,
and be member Of an evangelistic
lhurch?" Rev. Stoetzer saul tEl
re different kinds of Christian s
rtlsts. He thought If Scientist be.
ieved firmly that there was no matte
no disease, and no sin, there was no
necessity for his belonging to AL
evaGgelistic church. Rev. Stoetz,
aid he thought those who believed
more in the power of mind over mat
ter could very well belong to an evan.
gelistic church without any interfer.
ing with the Christian Science faith,
because he believed in that phase OF
science himself.
There were many more questions
which Rev. Stoetzer did not answer
last evening but which he promised to
answer next Sunday evening. Among
them were What is real success? How
can a young man best overcome temp
tations to impurity? What is the
greatest cause for divorce?
After answering the questions prom.
Used for last evening, Rev. stoetzer
preached his usual Sunday evening
sermon on another theme.

The grounding story is all right for
those credulous folks who are willing
to accept neary anything poured into
their ears as truth. But the discrim-
mating folks who have given the mat.
ter study and research know that the
first sign Of spring is the appearance
Of the robin. Experts go further and
point out that the singing robin on
the first Sunday morning in March
means-but then that would be telling.
Luther Fleming, who resides in Cole.

in last Sunday morning:
1t kind of surprised me to hear
the robin singing with the Their

There is no question but what some
of the boys in military service had to
swallow many bitter pill and it is
gratifying in this connection to read
the testimony Of Ira w. shaffer, who
writes to his mother at Warrington:
1T has not even been necessary
for me to take a pill since have

What patent medicine does Ira plan
