One of the finer stories coming
out of Camp Ripley is about Huts
Bobzin who one morning found
four sergeants sleeping while the
rest of the Company was up and
doing. "Line Sergeants, eh?".
shouts Huts, Yeh, Line fiat on
your backs.

Two of our crack shots have
come to believe that cat really
has nine lives. It seems that En-
ma Miller has a pet kitten which
irritates some of the Second
streeters. One evening lately
while Emma was off duty, two of
them decided to end it all for the
creature. They took it into the
alley, shot at it three times and
went home to bed with that sat
isfied feeling. Next morning when
they came into Randgaard's, they
found Emma with the very live
cat nestled in her arms.

The federal deficit for the biennium
estimated by President Roosevelt two years
ago, at nine billions, will be only seven bill
lions. The spending is running fourteen
per cent below estimates, and revenues are
three per cent above. The government is
steadily refunding it's debt at a largely re-
duced interest rate. This, with the recorded
business gains, the restored stability to
agriculture, the gains in private employ
ment, holds out bright hope for the future.

A few years ago it was Pyle's Bunion

Bunyan days. Both publicized to the point
where most of us were tired of reading
about them. Fairmont had the national
cornhusking contest with $4,000 people. Ro-

enormous crowd. But no southern Mime

TO make an atOnement for the sins
of the world. AS the braZen SER
pent was lifted up In the wilderness
by Moses, so Jesus Christ was lift
ed IN on the cross. As the Israelltes
only needed to look at the uplifted
serpent, so the lost soul needs only
to look to the crucified Christ for
salvation. All who believe on him
as their Saviour receive eternal life
and, therefore escape condemnation.
8. He knows his own John 1e:
l4). The good Shepherd has a, deh-
mite knowledge Of the lost ones. He
therefore seeks them out and gives
his life for them.
4. He keeps his own (John 1921
29). Believers are Christ's sheep,
and because they are his sheep,
they hear his voice and follow him.
He not only knows them personal
Iy, but they, In turn, know him. He
not only gives unto them eternal
life, but holds them In his omnipO-
tent hands.
W. Some Blessings Received
Through the Saviour.
l. Justification (Rom. 5:1-11).
The one who receives Jesus Christ
Is by the living God declared right
eous. His guilt is removed and he
is given the same standing as Jesus
Christ himself. Because Of this, the
very peace Of God settles down Upon
his soul He has the assurance OF
Gods love and Is able, therefore, to
have Joy in God himself.
2. Freedom from the power Of sin
(Rom. 6:l-O. 1t is not enough to
be freed from the guilt of sin, there
must be a dynamic which win en-
able the believer to live a life OF
victory over sin. Being vitality unit
ed to Jesus Christ In the power OF
his resurrection life. the dynamic
is provided which enables the be-
lever to triumph over sin.
8. He Is free from the law as q
means Of sanctification (Rom. I'll
81. Christ's death nailed the law
to the tree. The one who has been
vitality united to Jesus Christ By
faith died with Christ. The law,
therefore, has no more dominion
over him.
4. Victory over the flesh through
the indwelling Holy Spirit (Rom.
1929. The introduction Of the law
Of the spirit Of the life in Christ
Jesus enables the believer to free
himself from the dominion Of the
flesh.
s. Christ Is the supreme example
to the believer (Phil. 2:5-11). Be-
cause the Saviour became incor-
porated with the race through the
incarnation he Is able to impart life
to those with whom he Ii identified
Furthermore, because he thus Inn
parts life, the believer Is able to
make the Saviour his grand exem-
plar.
