RADIANT LIVING
SELLING OUT
BY Rev. C. M. Griffeth
Pastor Calvary M. 9. Church
sudlersvilie. Nd.

While going through town the
other day / saw sign which read,
Selling Out" The words got my
attention aiid started my thought. {
A great many people are selling
out today-bnt selling out too cheap
ly.
Remember how Esau sold out? He
possessed a birthright which was
worth millions. But the thing he
craved was a bowl of soup. For the
mere pleasure OF enjoying a good
dinner, Esau sold his priceless
birthright.
What Esau did has been going ON
ever since. What men and women
pay today for an hours Indulgence
in gratifying the desires that arise
within them is tremendous. The
money paid over is the smallest part
of the price they pay.
You too possess birthright. II is
your clean character, your family
record for sobriety, honesty and pur-
ity. You have been given a body,
strong, healthy and beautiful. You
possess a mind, developed, educated
and trained. Think Of the days.
weeks, and years of labor. Of work.
of study, of sacrifice that il has cost
to bring you where you are today.
Now comes Temptation, coaxing
you to indulge, soliciting You to sell
out-just for the mere gratifying
yourself with a moment of pleasure. |
1t takes years to grow the tree
and months to produce the apple, |
yet with a few bites, it is devoured.
It takes century to erect cathe-
tiral, but the bombs Of an enemy can |
iemolish 1t in less than thirty min J
utes.
1t took years to produce the quail
tiles and the virtues which you now
possess. One hours Indulgence and
hey will be shattered forever.
Don't sell. The price you are Of
iered is too low!

TEMPERATURES
DROP FOR MARCH
March Lambs Wool Ruffled BY
Lion Tnawing weather
Halted BY Cold Snap

Lost or strayed-a lamb. And
one Of the March Lambs, too, by
the way. For as March "lionized
this week, the lamb hit for cover as
cold winds ruffled his wool, and
temperatures as low as 6 degrees
sent him shivering back to the
fold.
Following a week of mild wealth
err that sent March into this COM
munity with the docility Of the
lamb, winds began rising Saturday
increasing in velocity on Sunday
from the north. Monday recorded
lower temperatures than for a
week and Tuesday hit the low for
March thus far.
All last week mild temperatures
towering near 40 and approaching
so on some days, dissolved snow
banks into running rivers Of water.
Perilous driving and walking con-
fronted residents as they threaded
their way homeward among the
puddles and the ice. Freezeups this
week had a vanishing effect on the
pools of water and floods which
threatened in southern Minnesota
were stemmed with freezing condi-
tons. -
Reports indicate that the good
earth is absorbing well the mois-
ture. Heavy SHOWS early last fall
prevented deep penetration of frost
into the earth. An early break up
Of roads and fields is felt as some
of them were going out" during
last weeks warmth.

Beach of Sank Lake
Being Covered with Sand
Freeze-up This Week Allows
Crews To Complete Most
OF Work

Freeze up this week sent crews,
loading sand on the ice fringing
the Park Shore Line and on the Ia
COON of Sank Lake, hurrying to
complete the work Councilman
Joe Miller, said Wednesday.
The project, to sand the Park
beach for better swimming, was
nearly halted during the warmth
of last week. With another extreme
melting work will have to be halted
lest the ice give way under the
wagons, said Mr.. Miller. The work
was begun when it was necessary
to dig out through a twelwe-foot
drift in the park roadway. Sand
will be dumped onto the ice as long
as the ice holds.
When the ice goes out, the sand
will filter to the lake bottom along
the shore extending from the band
stand west and girthing the small
picnic park. Work will continue to
get enough sand to insure fine
beach.
