y ST. JOHN A. NJ. E. CHURCH
THE Friendly Church"
Rev. L. p. Bryant, Pastor

Sunday, February 10, was a very
beautiful day. and the services at St.
John were well attended all day. The
guest soloists for the last two Sundays
were Mrs. Irene Morton, on February
3, and Mrs. Ruth Wheeler on Febru-
AIRY 10th.
Rev. Bryant took his text from
Paul's second letter to the Corrinth-
ians, third chapter and the 18th verse.
He took for his subject, The Liberty
Which Christ Gave. Some Of the
good thoughts to remember from the
sermon are as follows: All men want
to be free. Even children look for
ward to the day they can have their
freedom Christian life is a life of
lberty. A Christian can always get
JOY in his heart because he has Christ
in it. In fact, the only real freedom a
ma has is when he has the Lord
with him. There is liberty in the ser
vice Of God. Where the spirit Of the
Lord is, there is freedom from sin.
There is freedom from man, freedom
from slavery. Christ moves all these
evils SO one can be free to worship
him When one feels the spirit,
Christ wants him to give Him praise
and speak out for him. And when O
get God in your heart, you viii have
freedom.
The collections were very good, and
there were many visitors present. The
cards passed in were Mrs. Lillian
Thomas and Mayme Hardy, of Omaha.
The rally is slowly moving on. See
your captain and pay in on your rally
fund and let cars move out toward
New York. Miss Ofutt IS still out in
the lead. Come to St. John each Sun
day and see what your group is doing.
Sunday, February 18th. The ser
vices at St. John are very interesting
each Sunday. The spiritual aspect is
running very high, and the collections
are good. 1t is pleasing to see such
fine cooperation as there is now
throughout the church.
There was al old time prayer meet
ing last Wednesday night. The spirit
was very fine.
Rev. Bryant preached a vary fine
sermon from this subject, Goods
promise fulfilled in our lives. He
gave US many good thoughts on this
subject. There were too NAM to
name but some of those to be remem-
bered are as follows: God will fulfill
our best hopes if we will but let him.
We can best do this by leaving the
things of the world alone. The sue
cessful life must have Christ in il to
reach any degree of success. He will
lead you into a new light. When God
hrst comes into your heart you feel
like a new person, and can have ioy
and comfort. God wants US to RELY on
Him and know he is God and beside
Him there is none other.
The Sunday night service time was
taken up b. an illustrated lecture of
Jerusalem by DR.. Wesley Homes. There
were many visiting faces to be seen
at the services last Sunday. The

A DYING INSTITUTION

THIS years jurisdictonal wrangle among the
building trades unions. at the A. F. of L. con-
Vention, takes all the unreal and pitifl1l aspects
of dinosaurs death struggle
While the builders seemingly persist in doing
factory or an Office building as costly and % ncon-
Venent as it is humanity possible to make it, science
and industrial genius quietly at work arranging
their elimination Before many years have passed
prefabriCaton of houses will make the building
trades organization as we know it today as extinct
the dodo
The workers are not entirely to blame Their
struggle to make decent living in highly sea-
sonal highly uncertain industry has been a des
perate one. They can't be blamed for demanding a
high wage rate to carry them through the months
o. idleness They can't be blamed for fighting among
themselves for whatever work is available, when it
means bread and butter for their families
But the result, partly from this, partly from
other causes, has been less and less building less
and less work. In a machine age. building has
been held to the cramped, inadequate status of
handcraft, making the ownership of a home lux
ury which only well-to-do families can afford and
the construction Of home an ordeal calling for
more patience and endurance than the average
citizen can command
Factory-built houses, when finally perfected and
accepted, will change all this And when the in
evitabe casualties of change have been forgotten
building tradesmen. with year-round Jobs at home
assembling factories certainly should find themselves
better paid and more secure than ever before-able
even, to afford homes themselves

steps into something that looks like third base And
maybe poison ivy on some of the old rail fences he
Will climb in order to get to his listeners He'll
have to learn how to get along with strange dogs
But after all it won't be any worse than the normal
life of a lightning rod salesman
Getting out there won't be so bad and the rough
work won't start until he arrives in the heart of
the farm belt He can take drawing room as far
for example, as Kansas City. Then he may have
to go to locals, which bit slow and smoky but
will get him there just the same. Valet and room
service won't be SO good in some of the country
hotels but the zeal of the missionary will have over
come Mark by the time he is actually out among
the deluded So he won't mind
1t may seem that the task is too large for any
enc man But it won't work out that way because
there's nothing like farmer for action when he
finally finds out he's being gypped 1t won't be

potato crop. Indiana never has
raised more than SO per cent of her
actual potato needs, buying the re-
mainder from Michigan and Idaho.
Under the new order we will be
forced to purchase a considerably
larger percentage from outside
states. This will add not only the
process tax, but also freight charges
to the price of our potatoes, making
the purchase of potatoes by many
all but prohibitive What the poor
are going to do, those who have
small children to feed, is beyond

WATERED MILK

a NGRY farmers are dumping into Illinois bitches
n milk which might many Chicago baby
from ricketts,
They have been getting 38 cents a quart gross
while Chicago distributors have been charging con-
sumers II cents and up. The farmers are striking
for Sd cents
There are sections in which the farmer gets
even less than the protested Chicago price and the
consumer pays even than II cents
The milk puzzle is national in scope and the
problem is how to give the farmer fair price and
not bleed the consumer for one of the most es-
sentia foods
One Of the major evils which seems to beset the
industry is similar to one which brought disaster to
number of public utilities in the depression,
namely, over capitalization
In one major milk market producer-distribu-
tor cooperative, with a capitalization of $15OoO0
does larger gross business than competitor with
capital structure swollen to nearly million dol
lars.
Obviously much of the latter's stock is water To

CHS The producer and the consumer which is
exactly WI. is happening
Attempts Of the Federal government to regulate
the industry have met serious obstacle in this con-
dition. How can the problem be solved? Apparently
only by the voluntary oyerhauing of the big dis
trbutorS.
This will not about without competition
from a competitor with a healthy capital structure
And one possibility here is the growth of co-opera-
tive producing and distributing systems, farmer
owned and farmer-operated
One such organization has been operating sue
cessfuly for number of years. The results it has
achieved would appear to warrant the extension of
these cooperative competitors.
With good management, they could force the biz
distributors to squeeze the water out of their capital
structures and So restore the industry to sound
marketing basis

VOICES FROM THE DEEP

DY turning back the pages about 20 years one
~ may find ready to hand a reply to the tele-
gram sent President Roosevelt by the Conference
on Port Development of the City of New York
The message urged the President to rescind his
neutrality policy toward the Italo Ethiopian war and
protested against his warning Americans not to use
the ships of belgerents. The conference believes
the Presidents ban is premature and ill-advised
and not furthering neutral position at present
time"
There such ban on the use of the ships
of beigerents during 1915, 1916 and 1917 and here
is partial record of what befel the American pas
sengers:
March 2S 1915. British liner Falaba sunk, one
American lost.
May 7, 1915, Lustania, 124 Americans.
Aug. 10, 1915, Arabic, two Americans
Nov. T. 1915, Italian ship Ancona, II Americans
Dec 80, 1915, Persia, two Americans.
March "a, 1916, Sussex, torpedoed, but not sunk,
several Americans killed by the explosion.
Dec IA, 1916, Russian British horse transport
II American muleteers.
Feb IS, 1917, Laconia two Americans
More than $50 Americans by incomplete count,
lost their lives beigerent ships during the war
before this country entered. These deaths were an
infuriating and than any other a decisive
factor in bringing in and ironically one of our
most persuasive slogans was freedom of the seas"
II these torpedoed neuras could lift their voices
above the waves today they could tell different
tale to the Presidents warning being premature"
