Sermon Subjects.

Rev. Mr. Schultz, who is regularly
holding divine services at Leadore,
took for his address last Sunday af-
ternon two thoughts, What Does 1t
Cost TO be Christain?" and Does 1T
PAY to be Christian"
In building a town the first con-
Germ is the excavation. So also in re-
ligion. This is repentance; John 3, B..
Next comes the laying of the founda-
Ition. This it's faith in Christ as your
personal savior; ! Cor. 3, IL. But a
lsuperstructure must also be added;
Rom. IL. 1 Cor. s. 20; Phil. 1, 81.
We call this conservation. Another
cost IL courage.
Does 1t pay? Some think not; but
the truth is that there is not a single
relation or human interest IN which
IL does not pay to be Christian. IL
pays physically, materially, domesti-
caly. 1t pays in regard to the joys
of this life, or when it comes to the
side of life. But above all there are
spiritual advantages, viz: good
conscience. forgiveness and favor
through faith, and the inspiration
of God. We shall, however, only in
Therefore. be steadfast.
Sunday evenings text was taken
from Exodus II, 8-13, with Our
Conflict with the Prince of Dark
ness" as theme. The subdivisions
were: /, THE foe to be encountered;
2. the weapons employed; 5, the vic
tory achieved" The leader and cap
tain is Satan Il Pet 5, 50 marshaled
around him are legions of lesser
spirit beings. These attack you at all
times, in your most vulnerable points
and at time when you are faint
and weakest examples: The lovely
pair walking the groves of den; the
outcasts; Judas betraying the Lord;
Peter denying Him. etc.
How can the lamb cope with the
lion? We have precious ally, a vail
ant, unconquerable leader-Jesus
Christ. He has furnished us with
weapons. Compare 18th verse of
text with Eph. g. 7--story of David
and Goliath. You are spiritual Da-
vids. You have spiritual sling, and
the smooth pebbles, which you are
to use are the Ten Commandments.
Learn to sling these Alright and you
|are invincible. Another weapon men
toned in the text is prayer. Prayer
Is the hand that moves the world;
Luke %. 81 and Matth26, Al. BY
using these weapons and with the
help of our Captain victory is ours.

A Proclamation.
nannla of Iowa:

TO the people Of Iowa:
The air is filled again with the
fragrance Of young life. The spring
time season is here Beauty In new
The stately and aged giants Of the
forest have reused themselves from
the slumber of winter and with bud
and blossom announce again their
perpetual life and usefulness. They
teach a lesson Of activity and utility:
Trees are beth %b Unitarian ar nrot and
Of the pioneer, and are the neces-
sity OF present and future genera
tions. He who plants and nurtures
tree, has left an estate for the
children of tomorrow; and on the
other hand. he who destroys g. tree
without, putting another IN its place,
of a gift nature intended for them.
AS a people and State, we have
been wasteful and destructive Of
natures gift in tree and forest until
today there is not enough left to
properly and adequately house our
people and supply their needs. Can
present inaction toward the problem
of our state?7 The problem is so
vital not alone to ourselves. but to
the future Of our country, that we
should act. Every c!LlLon ana every
organization within the state should
have some part in planting trees this
springtim and especially is this
true of the boys and girls in the
schools.
Permit this one suggestion, that
each community plant a tree, or
trees, as a memorial to the soldiers
who gave their lives in the late War.
Let this planting be done with ap-
propriate exercise, and if possible
with eX-service men present. Let a
record be made of the event anu
someone be appointed to nurture
and care for the tree, or trees, thus
planted.
BY doing this, lessons of patriot
ism will be taught; the memory of
sacrifice made, will have living
monument, and our debt to the
future will be acknowledged and in
part paid.
Therefore. |. W. L. Harding,
Governor Of the State of Iowa, do
proclaim Friday, April 80. 1920
ARBOP DAY, to be observed
throughout the state by all the peo-
pie by the planting of trees.
In Testimony Whereof, | have
hereunto set my hand and caused

State of Iowa.

day of April, 1890.
