CHURCH ASKS
BEST IN Man
Visiting Lutheran Con-
tinues Mission at Grace
Church Tonight

The congregation at Grace Lu-
thcran church Wednesday evening
heard Rev. V. K. Cromcr Of Con-
cord in a forceful sermon on the
subject, what Claim Has the
Church Upon Me-" The preach
ing mission will be continued to-
night at 7:45 when the Concord
pastor will have as his topic, DE
pendability in Service"
In his Introductory words last
evening, Rev. Cromcr said, Zone
of the regrcttable features of our
generation is the number of peo-
pie who recognize religious val
ucs, approve Christian ideals, and
accept Christian advantages, and
yet are unconcerned about relig-
ious institutions, unwilling to as
sumo any responsibility for the
support, the activity, and the pro-
motion of the church." Mr.. Gro
mcr spoke of the church as Gods
institution, asserting that people
owe to it essentially what they
owe to God. He enumerated some
of the blessings that have come to
mankind through the churcr and
said that it is with a deep sense
of appreciation for the gifts of
the church that one must answer
the question, what claim has
the church upon me-"
The speakers answer to the
theme question was presented in
very simple manner by summar-
izing under two headings: The
church claims of me the best life
| can live, and the best gifts | can
give" In defining the best life"
he said, eve can never live this
kind of life until we get a vision
of sin atoned, self dethroned, and
the Savior enthroned, and then
make each of them reality with
in ourselves"
In speaking Of the "best gifts
can give" Rev. Cromer urged,
"Let us not lose the blessed art
of giving our best. Usually the
best is withheld for self, and when
we give, we give the remnants.
Concluding his sermon, the
speaker declared: "The Master
gave His all, His very life in the
flower Of young manhood, that
the church might be established.
Should we not owe her all that
we are and have-the best life
we can live and the best gifts we
can give?"

TALKING ABOUT HOUSING

The new drive for great nation
al house-building campaign is being
picked to pieces In Washington. The
Government has played around a
good deal with this problem, and ad-
nits that results have not been sat
isfactory. Building costs are high,
real estate groups initiate prices
whenever a section of city or town
begins to be considered desirable
Materials and labor are very costly
as compared with operations In
other fields OF industry.
OF course the Government and pri-
vate industry can do all that is nee
essary to finance housing. After that
II is up to the buyer to say whether
he is going to assume obligations
even though the interest and month
ly payments are low-that will be
heavy, steady and burdensome
through most of his lifetime.
We are all familiar with the in
siallment system of buying. some
times referred to as "a dollar down
and dollar a month" That works
out very satisfactorily when the
amounts of the obligations are not 1
too heavy. But a house that costs
5000 to $4,000 is another and auite
q. different matter.
