AFTER DEATH?

The daily papers and the popular
periodicals are printing numerous ar
ticles regarding communication with
those who have passed on.
These articles make interesting
reading, whether one happens to agree
with the writer or not.
To US, however, the question oc-
ours: do we really want to know what
comes after the breath of life leaves
the house of clay? De we desire alb
solute knowledge of the hereofter?
Personally. we do not.
If we of the earth were suddenly
and simultaneously to receive positive
revelation of the events succeeding
death, what might happen?
Suppose we learned that when the
brain goes out the end is here; that
physical death is the end of exist
ence, as some scientists claim.
The contemplation of death would
be gloomy indeed. We could not en-
joy this life because Of the ever-in-
truding thought of death and oblivion.

positive knowledge of state of eter-

GO TO CHURCH

The most beautiful sight from the
pulpit is whole family seated togeth
er in pew. The church service is
not convention, that family should
merely send a delegate. Brush your
own shoe sand go to your own church
and don't expect some one else to keep
the weeds out of your garden.
The Union Memorial Service at the
Congregational Church last Sunday
morning was very well attended.
Veterasn of our last three wars were
present. Rev. A. J. Waller, of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, and Rev.
B. H. Schrader, of the Church of
Christ, assisted Rev. E. V. kuhns in
the service. In his sermon Rev.
Kuhns spoke in part as follows:
at is great privilege to live in
day of great oopprtunity. Some ages
of history have been dark with lack
of inspiration to noble achievement.
Other ages have been bright with
fine accomplishments. In connection
with the latter we read the great
names of Moses, Luther, Cromwell,
Washington, Lincoln. 1t is also a
great privilege to be able to see
clearly the opportunities that present
themselves in the day in which we live.
Men do not always have the clearness
of vision or disposition to leek square
ly at the problems of life. But the
greatest of all privileges comes to men
living in a great age who see their
duty clearly and with fine courage
give themselves to the good of their
1ellowmen. We recognize that sixty
years ago was a great day in our ma
tional history, but that day was made
brilliant by men who saw clearly the
path of duty and with a noble patrio-
tism gave themselves without stint
or reserve to the service of their
country. We are proud to make their
splendid contribution to our national
honor live forever in the heart and
thought of the American people.
While human liberty seems always to
have had it's blood price we turn in
horror from the necessity of War to
achieve our liberties and the way of
progress along paths of brotherhood
and unselfish daily living in every
walk of life. The Civil War Veterans
are passing from US at the alarming
rate of three thousand per month.
But they have not lived in vain!
March of the Grand Army
They pass
Some live who saw them, in their
youth and prime.
Go forth to battle for cause sub
lime; It.

AMONG OUR CHURCHES

Young Peoples Bible Class, which
now numbers IS. We are all very
grateful to Brother P. M. Duncan for
his fine leadership as acting superin-
tendent of our school during the ab-
sence of Brother and Sister Caven-
der. The loyal support of our teach
ing corps is also to be highly COM
mended. But most of all we are
grateful for Gods divine blessing upon
US and our work in His name.
Our congregations at both morning
and evening worship are more than
gratifying. Soon there will not be an
empty seat in the house during the
hour of worship.
Brother Fletcher, pastor of the
Church of Christ at Chappell, who is
to preach the sermon at the l. o. o. F.
Memorial services to be held next
Lords Day at 2:30 P. M. in the Con-
gregational church, will also be with
US during our morning worship.
On June 18th it will be just year
since Brother Schrader took up his
duties as resident pastor of the little
congregation which he found here at
the time and we are more than pleased
with the results of the years work in
the Masters service. 1t is indeed an
occasion for great rejoicing and plans
are already under way for an appro-
pirate celebration on Sunday, June
11th. More definite announcement
will be made shortly.

Yet beats their valor. strong as full

Yet lives the story of their deathless

Their love and faith that met the Ma

Such souls as theirs! Us with their

w. IF. Ferguson.
In our thought today we include the
veterans of all our past wars. We do
well to be inspired by the days in
which the principles upon which our
government is founded stood the test
of fire. Our national life has been
purged and the elements of our char
acter have been refined. Can we not
now see the better qualities of life
more clearly? The hand writing on
| the skies today is that of Brother
hood among men that is worth living
rather than merely to be talked about.
A fraternal spirit among peoples of
small and large groups with tolerance
charity and good will. A concert of
effort among men everywhere for
Justice and the Peace of the world A
genuine purpose in mems hearts to put
the common good above self. The
power of love is greater than that of
the sword. Unless we conquer self
ishness in human hearts the victory on
the field of battle will be poor indi-
cation Of right. AS great and horrible
as wars have been they are yet only
incidents of life, and have been the re-
suit of individual character and ma
tional ideal. Ignorance of the high
est ideals Of life is the most harmful
limitation of men.
In the beauty of the lilies Christ was
born across the sea,
With glory in his bosom than trans
figures you and me;
As He died to make men holy, let US
die to make men free,
| While God is marching on.

STRIKE AT 1T ANYHOW

A fellow got US going the other
night when he asked US point blank
What is your purpose in life?" Say,
boy, did you ever turn out the light
after you had gone to bed, and lie
there in the dark in an honest effort
to answer that question? Tryit.
There must be something you are
trying to do, but do you think of this
something often enough? No man
can get anywhere without fixed pur-
pose. No man can have dependable
energy and achieve success until he
has the power of purpose. We all
have this Godgiven power Of purpose,
but do we think of it often enough?
The haphazard human seldom thinks
of it. He is on his way. He drifts in
a happy-go- -lucky-way direction. He
is in line with progress, but takes
leap in the dark. He is random shot
and blind speculation. He is SIM
ply that and nothing more.
Life today offers unlimited oppor-
tunities for some special effort-un-
measured possibilities for the man or
woman of purpose. Frequently think
ing of a definite purpose gives you
new interest in life-a new impulse
new intent. Thinking Of what you
want to do adds to your power to do it.
Unless you have a prearranged plan,
you are quite sure to make a fizzle.
Many a good hitter is called out on
strikes while waiting for base on
balls.
