Christ's Voluntary Death

Text: And ye are puffed up, and
have not rather mourned, that he
hath done this deed might be taken
away from among you.-Corinthisns
So.
With all certainty there are many
reasons for Christ's being a worthy
Master. In the first place, He is a
leader and a Saviour As leader He
is courageous. HE steadfastly set
his face to GO" We gladly follow
such a leader. because one who is
leading should always be fearless.
He is kind. He never deserts us.
He sympathizes with us when the
way is hard. If we err. He has com
trial. In this way He shows His love
for us. Kindness is love active.
Christ is always kind. He spent
most of His time doing kind deeds
while here on earth.
Our Saviour is wise. He knows us
better than we know ourselves. He
says 81 am the Good Shepherd and
KNOW my sheep" No man with all
his skill outshines Jesus. A wise lead
er is a worthy leader. Christ was
servant No one is good leader
or good master who has not learn
ed to serve and obey-'not my will,
but thine be done" He says that we
should serve. "Whosoever will be
great among you, let him be your
servant" Let us follow his example.
1t pays. Paul revealed that Christ
rightly rewards for service; and not
only that, but that the rewards for
serving him were out of all proper
ton to anything we give up to serve
him.
As Master, He knows the way
that he wants US to tread. He knows
our ways. the ways of life and the
ways of God. Moses was worthy
leader when he led the people from
Egypt, because he knew the ways of
Jews, the ways of the wilderness and
the ways of God. He was expert
enced. So it is quite necessary for US
to follow a competent leader if we
wish to reach our destination. Christ
tells us to follow Him. Let's follow.
Christ is always victorious. There
are more and more added to His
band every year. Every year men
learn that His way is the ONLY way
to SUCCESS and HAPPINESS.
They learn that His way is the true
wav of life in which ALL men shall
walk. Christ has a way to win us,
to keep us engaged, and to reward
us supremely-He gives us eternal
life. Inevitably he is a worthy
Master.

So that director George Abbott, who

ROADS AND TAXES.

Tax reduction and stimulated road
building are not necessarily an
tipathetic.
Only a small fraction of money
spent by government goes to the cause
OF good roads. In all cases, when that
money is wisely and equitably spent
each dollar is returned to the COM
niunity over and over again, in in
creased tourist travel and commerce
better transportation and communica-
ton for rural jewellers, easier access
to markets, schools, fire departments
and social activity.
We must beware, Of course, of So
called political roads'-those arteries
which are built with public funds in
areas where there is no need or eX-
cuse for them. We must beware, also
of building extremely high-cost pave
ments where low-cost surfaced roads
will give good service.
Rural communities are being pro-
viied with weatherproof, year-round
roads with bituminous wearing sur
faces, at cost of less than five thous-
and dollars mile.
These are being built without UNI
duly burdening the taxpayers and
without plunging communities into
debt. Their construction is testi-
monial to the fact that good roads
need not cause excessive taxation ano
unreasonable cost of government.

Glad the message they are bringing.
While my vigil here keep.
Low and sweet the song I'm si;'ging,

While the New Year bells are ringing,
Sleep, my baby, sleep tonight,
Cheerily the bells are ringing,
Sleep, my baby, smiling sleep;
Joyous bells, their notes are flinging,
Over plain and woodland deep.
Prayers and praise are upward wing

Stars are shining clear and bright,

has just rounded out its twentieth
year of service between these two

its record which bears mailing and
receiving history from points in
Alaska, Porto Rico, New Jersey, Texas,
Florida and of course Washington
state. 1.-THE girls" however, are be-
coming somewhat settled in later
years and from the condition of the
card looks as though it could round
out another twenty years between
these two old friends even though
they are 3l36 years" apart.

 IN SEWARD FRIDAY
 XON0RINC WAR DEAD

Millions of Americans will pay honor to the country's World war dead tomorrow by wearing the little red poppy of Flanders Field. Early tomorrow morning an army of women, estimated to be 100000 strong, mobilized for the work by the American Legion Auiliary, will take the streets throughout the country with baskets of the mem orial flowers.
 The women of Seward Unit of the Auxiliary, aided by women of other local organizations, will pro- vide the people of Seward with their poppies. Preparations for the sale have been worked out in such detail that no one in the city will be without opportunity to buy and wear poppy, according to Mrs. Lorang, general chairman of the activity. A larger sale of pop pies is expected in the city than ever before.
 The poppies which the local Unit of the Auxiliary will offer were made by disabled veterans at various hospitals in the States. They are exact replicas of the wild poppy of France and Belgium which grew on the World war
