f BETWEEN YOU and GOD During the First World War, an Amen lean soldier fell wounded in front of th< trenches. Enemy shrapnel was bursting all around him, as he lay there unprotected. Seeing his danger, his buddy crawled out of the trench and, lying down beside him, whispered in his ear, “Don’t be afraid. I'm between you and the shells; they’ll have to hit me first.” What that soldier was to his fallen comrade, Jesus Christ can be to you. When Christ allowed Himself to be nailed to the Cross as the sacrifice tor the sins of the world, He placed Himself between us and the thunderbolts of God's justice. And He assures each believer, “Don’t he afraid. I’m between you and the strokes of God’s wrath; they must hit me first ’ That is what the Bible means when it His own self bore our sins in ffis own body on tne Cross?* “And again, “He was wounded for our transgressions; He was bruised for our iniquities.” Christ, the divine Go-Between, placed Himself between sinful men and a holy God —and bore the entire punishment which unholy men had merited. Whatever else you may have heard about the Christian Gospel, you have heard nothing until you have heard this central fact HEAR BIBLICAL GOSPEL PREACHING AT ZION LUTHERAN CHURCH WEST MONROE STREET SUNDAY WORSHIP: 8:00 and 10:30 A.

WHUT’S THIS HEER WATCH WUTH MISTER? • of, . * .• ; * • . 4'i > Jewelers are often called upon to estimate the "value of a watch. We are no exception to this custom. Strangers and friends alike bring them in. The watches submitted are most often the kind bought at sale bam auctions, through "wholesale catalogs,” or from itinerant hitch-hikers out to make a fast buck. Inasmuch as the most expensive part of a watch is the time producing mechanism inside the case, we don't pretend to understand the workings of the human mind which prompts people to hand out good money blindly, so to speak, to a stranger who is here today and gone tomorrow. If people made these purchases with any degree of confidence in the seller, we don't believe we would be called upon to put a “value" on as many watches as we do. Some brought in are actually new, unused watches. But even these, when compared with our regular stock, are at normal prices, seldom a bargain. And, without a service guarantee there would be room for doubt in anyone’s mind. It takes good men to make fine watches and it takes experience in the business to select the fine grades from the ordinary. Just as a ridiculous prico on a car makes you suspicious of a worn out motor; so should the same “bait” apply to a watch purchase. , r ' ' ■ When you’re not sure come see us. We will gladly give you an honest estimate about any watch you have been offered. Selling and servicing watches is a large and important part of our business; has been for a long time. Come in any time. BOWER JEWELRY STORE
