Let courage rise with danger"
Such is the plea Of Webbs great
hymn, Stand Up for Jesus" Chris
tianity in our day calls for cou-
rageous men and women.
Courage should be distinguished
from such related things as bravery,
valor, or bravado. BraVado is an
affectatiOn of a reckless bravery
which surely has no place in Chris
tan life and activity. Valor is
associated with daring and vigorous
action, for example, in battle. To
be brave means to meet challenge
with confidence and resolution. To
be courageous means to steadily
meet perils of which one is deeply
conscious, doing so because Of the
call of duty Courage holds deep
er and n~oler meaning than the
other words. carrying with it the
idea of moral strength and. in the
case of the Christian, faith in God
as one devoted to His cause.
Elijah was courageous, and he
stands before our Christian youth to-
day as an example Of that godly
courage which
1. Works in the Open ". 800.
Men whose deeds are evil love the
darkness rather than the light. God
does not work in the dark. All Of
His workings are in the open SUM-
light. Every one is welcome to
come near" and see what is done.
Elijah knew God and he acted like
Gods man. What a tragedy it is
that not all of Gods servants have
followed his example. If we had
the open and above-board dealings
of Elijah in the affairs of our
churches, we might see more of the
fire and power of his ministry.
Certain it is that the administra-
ton of c h affairs which has
to be carr .~A out in hidden corners
by whispered conversations and by
secret manipulations behind the
scenes, is not Gods work at all, it
is the work of man.
ii. Asks No FavOrs (vv. 1880.
Elijah rebuilt the altar himself.
He asked no help of the unbelieving
prophets of Baal or of apostate Is
rael. How old-fashioned he seems
in this day when so much stress is
laid on a false unity of the faiths,
and there is so much solicitation
and acceptance by the Church of
the help of unbelievers in financing
the supposed work of God.
Note also that Elijah invited his
enemies to make the answer to his
prayer more difficult by pouring
water on the sacrifice. This was
not an act of bravado, it was for the
purpose of demonstrating that there
was no fraud. He was willing that
the enemies of the truth should
make the demonstration more diff
ficult if that would be to Gods glory.
There is a delightful old-fashioned
flavor about that act, too, in these
DAYS when men are frequently will
ing to compromise with unbelief and
even with sin in order that the work
of the Church may be carried on
without too much difficulty. Here
again we have an explanation OF
the lack of spiritual power in our
times.

Fetlers Give
Program To
Full House

Two performances, one Thursday
night in the First Baptist church
and the other in the Henderson
high school today, were given here
by the Rainbow Family Orchestra,
consisting Of Rev. and Mrs. William
Fetler and their twelve children,
and drew large audiences in each
instance. The Fetlers are Latvians
but recently had been eXiled from
Russia because of their Christian
religion.
A thirteenth child is in school in
Stockholm, Sweden, and did not
accompany the group, which has
appeared recently in a number Of
cities and towns in the State.
The audience at the First Baptist
church Thursday evening was so
large that the entire Sunday school
audtorium, the balcony and ad-
jucent class rooms were filled.
The program was largely musical
in nature, directed by one Of the
children, Jacky, eight years old.
The numbers were mostly native
religious and classical selections.
Rev. Mr. Fetler later spoke briefly,
telling of conditions in Russia, La
tvia and other Baltic countries IN
V0lVed in the present European war
and it's consequences. He denounced
Adolf Hitler as an agent Of the
devil, and otherwise commented on
the conditions that brought on the
war Rev. Mr.. Fetler was preach
er in Russia, where he was born
during the reign Of Car Alexander
III.
The children constitute an orches-
ira in themselves, directed by one
OF the eight-year-Old brothers, who
handles himself and his group much
as a veteran leader does. The num-
bers given were difficult but made
seemingly easy by the efficiency of
the players.
Programs distributed free for the
program contain not only the num-
bers presented, but also a brief his
tory Of the famous and unusual
family
A free will offering was taken
during the evening for the support
Of the large family, and the big au-
dience responded generously in the
feeling that they had been we'll re-
paid by the entertainment fur
nishad, as we'll as by the oppor-
tunity to help along what was pre-
sent as a most worthy cause.
At the high school today the
program was much the same as
that at the church Thursday eve
ming. It included the musical num-
bers and a talk by Rev. Mr.. Fet-
ler. No collection was taken.
At both the church and the
school, pictures Of the family,
with autographs Of each of the
fourteen individuals. were sold by
them, the price at the church being
Is cents and at the school ten
cents.
During their stop in the city, the
group were guests of various fam
lies Of the First Baptist congre-
