TWO MINUTE SERMON
(By Thomas HastweID

INGRATITUDE STILL LIVES:
During the last few weeks of
Christ's Perean ministry as he and
his disciples made their last jour
ney together down to Jerusalem
he taught many truths to those
with whom he journeyed. The
shadow of the cross lay just ahead
and the concern lest he might not
get his message across to his fol-
lowers prompted him to crowd In
to this brief space of time many
lessons that not only touched the
life of that day but are alike ap-
plicable to even a modern world.
One day ten Iepers appeared in the
way, Outcasts, cursed by disease
that forever tostracized them from
home and friends and society. They
appealed to the Christ saying:
Master have mercy on U.S." The
marvellous miracle of healing at
once took place and they were
again made clean and restored to
home and friends and their place
in the community. But only one
of the ten returned to thank his
healer. And Jesus answering said.
Were not the ten cleansed? but
where are the nine? Were there
none found that returned to give
glory to God save this stranger?
We are prone, as we read of the
incident, to condemn the nine for
what appears to be their thought
less, and objectionable ingratitude
for redemption from living death.
But how different is mankind to-
day? How needless, how unmind-
full of the gift of Christ that
redeems mankind from sin as truly
as it cleansed that day the lepers
in the wilderness of Perea. Truly,
ingratitude still lives.

THE SCRIPTURE IN OMNIBUS

While swapping jokes with a
preacher friend recently he handed
us this one from which can get
a lot of the Bible without so much
reading and we pass it on:
Uncle Nose, a aged negro appli-
cant, was up before the committee
for license to preach.
"Brudder Nose, we OBJ de exam
ination committee do hereby ask
you the following questions, which
you for your part must faithfully
glib he answers. In he first place,
does you read?"
wal, no" said uncle Nose, But
my wife she done read me all de
scriptures"
Does you know de scriptures?"
asked one of the examiners.
"Shucks, Bredren, of cose 1
knows de scriptures My wife done
read EN- to me from kiver to kiver
What part of the scriptures
does you like best? was the next
question.
Uncle Nose scratched his head
and then said, 81 believes dat

tan"
Good, then tell us dat story
urged another examiner.
wal, it goes lax dis. The good
samaritan he went down from

THOUGHTS FOR SERIOUS
MOMENTS

So long as we love, we serve. So
long as we are loved by others I
would almost say we are indespens-
able; and no man is useless while
he has a friend. R. L. Stevenson.
To know what you prefer, jim
stead of humbly saying, amen" to
what the world tells you you ought
to prefer, is to have kept your soul
alive. r. L. Stevenson.
On the best books, great men
talks to us, give us their precious
thoughts and pour their souls into
ours. w. E. Charming.

WHAT WE THINK
[ BY Frank Dixon

Not so long ago I was openly
antagonistic to any thought of
government interference, or reg
imentation of the individual.
1 have changed my mind. Not
that I feel any more kindly to-
ward government interference and
participation in the life of the in
dlvidual nsan. I do not, but II
have come to the conclusion that
too many individuals are unable
to take care of themselves and
manage their affairs without some
superior force from the outside.
1 do not know why this is,
whether it is due to the fact that
we have become drunk with the
freedom idea and have run wild,
or whether mankind as now cons
tituted isn't equal to the highly
complex machine called present
day civilization that he has cons
tructed, and, in the midst of
which the mass of people, bewilder-
ed, grope their way as though
wondering what it is all about
The thing that has caused me
to change my mind is the recog-
milton of the number of people who
have arrived at the non productive
age with nothing of this worlds
goods saved up with which to make
tolerable their last days on earth.

gang waited inside.
Somehow word got out that the

out by the hundreds. They got on

firing. -Four citizens were killed and

Waterville, Dec. 15-One week ago
today, there appeared in this COL
unn. an article In relation to the
flooding of the ball field at the
north end Of Waterville park for
forming a public skating rink.
Today, a selec; group Of citizens
of Waterville began circulating Pc
titions and seeking signers to those
petitions to present In concrete
form, the desire Of the people OF
Watervillc to the park department,
unanimous voice In favor Of such
a public Improvement.
Another group Is preparing to
elect committee to appear before
the park commissioners and to voice
their approval OF this much wanted
Ice arena by Waterville.
Other sections of Waterbury are
we'll taken care Of, Washington,
Hamilton and Fulton parks are all
supplied and maintained by the
park department and each has an
ideal skating surface and the resi-
dents OF Waterville are asking
themselves, why 1t Is that this Sec
ton Of the city Is neglected? Why
1t LIS that the only skating surface
available here Is the Hancock
brook, which accommodates only a
few children, and why 1t Is that
those who wish to skate and who
know how to skate are forced TO
take buses or hitch-hike to one OF
Waterbury,s park, when the flood
ing of the local ball diamond would
solve the problem.

KIND USES TOWER |
FOR RECEIVING TO
END[NTERFERENCE
Believed First Station To
Use Plan Excepting
Ship Units

Seeking to clear up static and
insure better reception of calls
from other stations, KIND, the
Redwood Falls state police crime
broadcasting station, hooked up
it's 156 foot antenna tower to a
dual purpose Monday, making it
serve both for transmitting and
receiving.
The system, which is employed
by ships stations, makes it possible
by the mere snap of a switch TO
change the tower from sender
to a receiver. The signal power is
much greater than that of a reg
ular receiver and browns out in
reference. This is believed to be
the first attempt by any station in
the country, with the exception OF
ship units, to put it's antenna to
such a use.
The radio station was asked Sat-
urday by the Blue Earth county
sheriff to broadcast notice to
police authorities in the surround
ing area to- be on the lookout for
thieves who stole 81 raw furs in a
burglary at 2:30 a. m. that day at
Mankato.
Included in the loot were two
civet cats, 90 mink, 81 skunk, one
gray fox, three weasels and one
raccoon. The dispatch was also
sent over the Iowa schedule.
The station also broadcast a
stick-up of an oil station at $3.50
p m. Friday at Arlington, near
Gaylord, in which between $50 and
$40 was obtained.
