On Cod S Word

John Wyclife, in the introduction
to his translation of the Bible into
English in 1880, wrote as follows:
"When the teachings of the Bible
are generally accepted and acted
on, then shall we have a govern
ment of, for and by the people. ;"
Four hundred years later the Amer
lean republic YVES established-the
first great democracy-and it was
successful because the Constitution

LOVED AND HONORED

THE first impression I get from
L this story is the fact that these
people of Ephesus loved Paul.
They loved him enough to lay aside
their work and hasten to the near
by seaport of Miletus TO see him
for the last time, and to bow down
in his presence and honor him.
Why did they thus love Paul?
Because he had told them about
God. You need but read again the
record of Paul's ministry in that
important city of EpheSus to be
reminded of how greatly he had
served them in the name of Jesus.
Loved and honored What trib-
ute to the worth of Christian char
acter! Wouldn't you appreciate the
tribute which they paid Paul as the
goal out yonder to which you strive?
Boys and girls Of today may thus be
honored tomorrow, if they will live
for Jesus as Paul did.
THE POWER OF RIGHT LIVING
DAUL not only told the Ephesians
how to live, but Illustrated day
by day in his own life what he
preached to them. The most elo-
quent sermons are not spoken, but
lived. "What you are speaks so loud
ly l can't hear what you say
The boy and man who plays the
game straight are putting into
practice what the teacher and
preacher prOelaims on Sunday.
The power OF right living will win
its way today, just as it did in the
long ago when Paul witnessed for
Jesus in Ephesus.
It was not easy to live for Christ
in Ephesus, nor is it easy to live for
him in Chicago or Los Angeles or
Boston or Miami, but it is the one
way to ultimately impress the world
of the reality Of Christianity.
PAUL'S CONSUMING PASSION
NV E ARE what we are becoming,
w and never was this axiom of
life more powerfully illustrated than
in the case of Paul. Il press on
toward the goal for the prize of the
upward call of God IN Christ Jesus,
Philippians STA. And in Ephesians
5:G-2l, Paul reviews the qualities of
conduct which produce worthwhile
character, admonishing all Chris
tians to strive for these qualities.
- live, yet nOs /, Christ livcth
in me-" is another of Paul's
watchIgor6s, and still again, II
can do all things through Christ,
who strengthened me-"
1t was the consuming passion of
his life to embody the teachings OF
Christ in his words and in his works.
It is conceivable that the people at
Ephesus had come to see Christ in
the life Ct Paul, and that his daily
ministry in their midst convinced
them that God was in Christ recon-
Cling the world unto himself.
WHAT AM I WORTH?
THE question then emerges,
L What am I worth to my COM
munity? When l come to the end of
the journey, will the people who
know me best honor and love me for
what l have done?
1 can see the people of Ephesus
bowling on the dock at Miletus,
kissing this weary old servant of
the Lord. 1t is a beautiful scene.
This tribute meant more to Paul
than all the gold Of Ephesus would
have meant. 1t was compensation
CT abiding worth to him. And what
is vastly more important, it was
glory to God which must have
evoked the praise of the angels
about the great White Throne.

Ford coupe. Charles Buckley was
one of several victims in a wreck

Legion Club Chance
Devices Not Being
Played By Boys
BY Walter Trerise, Commander

BY Walter Trerise, Commander
1t has come to our attention
that there are people in this
community, who believe that the
various youth organizations that
have been meeting in the Legion
Hall, have been permitted to
play the slot machines, punch
boards, etc.
After investigating the rum
ored situation we make the fol-
lowing statement:
Since we took over the pres
ent building and installed our
soft drink counter, with slot ma
chimes and punchboards, etc.
there has never been any use of
these devices by youngsters.
For further proof, we suggest
that compliments ask the young
sters in question, themselves.
AS has often been explained.
the Legion Club is for the bet
terment of the community.
Rumors and idle talk can often
do a lot of damage along these
lines. We believe that possibly
the influx of slot machines in sew
eral of our business houses late
ly might have started some of
these rumors. Being a non-prof-
it organization, our income in
this case is derived in accordance
with the laws of our state and
country, from our slot machines
and punchboards and various 9TH
er things at our club.

Soil Saving
Project Plans
Near Reality

Until last week the G C r
County Soil Conservation Dis
trict, voted into existence last
year by farmers and ranchers,
was thing on paper. Meetings
of directors, of whom D u a n e
Sammons is chairman, and their
activities have been devoted to
organization and the scope of the
program.
Last week the board had ex-
perts in the field testing soil,
sizing up erosion and drainage on
the first farms for which applica-
tons had been submitted. The
party included Vern Lypton,
Poison, soil scientist; T y ! e r
Quackenbush, Kalispell, engin-
eer; Louis Moos, Kalispell. dis
trict conservationist, and County
Agent Larry Flesch, secretary of
the board. Clyde H o b b s and
Owen King of the Indian service
joined them.
Tuesday they gathered at Lois
Wilkins Ell Rancho Fredanlo on
the Marias river. Her soil was
classified and plans were laid out
for a pump irrigation system to
serve ~ acres of land on the river
bottom.
Wednesday they moved to Ed

Success Greets
Band Concert
And Glee Club

The annual concert presented
by the Browning band recently
was one of the most successful
events in the history of the Local
school. Sharing in its success was
the high school glee club, a IS.
member group.
One of the highlights of the
program was the number, Mill
tary Escort" in five ways. 1t
seems t h a t there were several
gentlemen present who did not
appreciate Mr.. Servers b e
directing of the march. So each
of them was awaited an opport-
unity to do it as he thought it
should be done.
Tom Bartlett played Signor
Baruski, the great Italian con-
ductor. Jim Racine was the Ger
man, who conducted it as Strauss
would have. Jack Billedeaux was
the jazz band leader from Basin
Street. B e t Y Powers, Dolores
Brown and Doris Kipling Were
the twirlers, who led the number
as it would have been in parade.
OF h e r outstanding numbers
were Jack BilledeauX' piano solo,
Sabre Dance" and Jim Racine's
bass solo. When Irish Eyes Are
Smiling"
The attendance was unusually
large this year, nearly 1000 tick
cts having b een sold for the
event.
