house when the local cooperatives
sponsored the meeting which was part
of the drive put on by Midland Co.
op, Minneapolis, in the sixth dis
trict. Ed Kukkola, manager of the
local Coop store, was master OF

with group singing under the able
leadership of Irving Tingley, well
known Minneapolis chorus leader. His

one hears over the radio, but which

There was a movie of the 1871 Co.

the guitar and there was number
by Alice and Bud Laska on saXa-
phone and accordion; as well as a
dozen or more buyers of the Spirits
of cooperation. Then Pearl and AIDE
popular radio stars on WDGY, sang
in their heart-warming manner many
of the popular songs of the day. The
evening was ended when coffee and
doughnuts were served.
There will be services at the Meth
odist church Sunday night at p. m.

She strobe over to a chair and
sat down, alas, but how she sat
down. She looked like a sack of
potatoes thrown in a corner. She
slumped down and practically folded
up. Gone was that fine posture, that
proud carriage.
Some people take a lot of pains
with their posture when they walk
down the street, but neglect it when
they are standing or sitting. Pos
ture Is something we should think
about all the time not just part of
the time. We should sit straight,
stand straight, and walk straight.
Then and only then will nature be-
gin to do something about your
figure. You know it is said that
one of the best ways to achieve a
slim waistline is to keep the stomach
In T. and up! Some of the most
effective exercises for the waist
consist primarily In stretching the
stomach muscles In and up.
Army men found this out long
time ago, and before long we will
see the effect of army training on

who have been called from farm,
shop and office for military duty.

or less hangs itself on Its frame.
But when we are buoyant and ex-

OUR BASIS OF FREEDOM
BY DR.. Charles Sickle

BY DR.. Charles Sickle
In these perlious times when coun-
try after country is being taken over
by enemies from within and without
it should inspire Americans to recall
the basis of their freedom. The first
three words of the Constitution
the people"-declare by what authority
the United States Of America is ruled.
The Constitution not only prescribes
the kind of government which shall hold
the United States together, but it limits
and defines the powers of the govern
ment itself, making the peoples liberties
secure against oppression from every
source.
The first ten amendments to the Con
sttutonare ksown as the Bill of Rights
. 1t is the purpose of the Bill of Rights
to restrict national power, so that these
rights should not be taken away from
the people. Their main purpose is TIC
give the people authority to maintain
their natural, rights. Certain restrict
ions are placed upon citizess for various
reasons, especially in some States, buf
in no case may the Federal government
establish such restrictions merely upon
the basis Of color, and, by another a
mendment State governments are sim
larly restrained
The Bill of Rights includes such prir-
ciples as freedom Of religion, frease r

CHRIST REJECTED

The lesson for this Sunday is quit

jected" is so evident in the hearts o
men. It seems as if the very essenc,
of living now is put into operation ar
| effective plan to show how so many
of us reject Christ AS we review this
lesson rather hurriedly, and briefly
/ suppose we think of the many ways
in which we reject Christ,
The lesson is important for two rea-
sons. 1t has the doctrinal element
that something taught or believed about
Christ and an historical elements
fact in history which gives truth 10 the
idea that Jesus is the Son of God. The
former element is brought out in what
Jesus thought about himself and how
far he was able to convince those tc
whom he preached about it.
A man, husband-man who planted
vineyard always expected it to bear
fruit. Therefore he had to allow mis-
crops time CROUCH to harvest by them
selves So the interim in which he
abSerted himself he expected to be
reasonable enough for the gathering
He sent therefore 3 of his men toge-
Their and each of the was scattered
and handled very discourteously The
husband-man became very puzzled and
sent special envoy the begotten son,
But they treated this one worse of all
because they sought the Inheritance
for themselves. AS our Lord told this
story one easily catches his peculiar
and intimate relationship with God and
how he seemed to have realized the
purpose of his mission. Yes, Moses and
the prophets had been purposely sent.
but had been treated unfairly by those
who had puzzled even God. But woe
unto them who perpehated their deaths!
Right would soon conquer.
