A Vision of the Past.

From Lexington on to Yorktown Walls Their life work nearly done Down the long lines of ragged men Rode noble Washington. They battled on for you and me, For honor, God, and right, Those heroes who this nation made, Were not too proud to fight. Through the dim vista \f the past To other forms I see Down the long lines of Blue and Gray Rode Veterans Grant and Lee. With heads erect and faces crim. For what they thought v as right, Those heroes of a hundred fields . Were not too proud to fight,—— : This heritage is now our own, To us this trust is riven, To guard this Land of Liberty And keep our Flag in Heaven. That banner still unsullied, Through all the passing years, Drenched by the blood of patriots And wet with Mothers’ tears. We’ll keep its folds untarnished As we struggle for the right; We stand for peace and honor But we are not too proud to fight. J. WILBUR.

Church Notice.

English Ev. Luth, service will be held in St. John’s Church, northeast xtf Pan? on next Sunday evening at 7:30 p. m. All are welcome. Theme of sermon: “The All-Important Question: What must I do to be saved?” Since this is to be the first entirely English service held here, a brief explanation of the doctrine the Lutheran church stands for may not be superfluous. The T.nthp.ran Church believes and teaches the justification of a sinner by grace, through faith in the merits of the Redeemer, Christ Jesus. That is a cardinal principle of the Lutheran church as it was of the Church of the Apostles. The meaning is this; In view of the vicarious life and death of His incarnate Son, God, the Judge of all the world, has forgiven and still forgives to every penitent believer all his trespasses freely, fully and finally. That is the plain teaching of Paul —“Even the righteousness God, which is by faith of Jesus Christ, nnto all and upon all them that believe; for there is no difference; for all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; being justified freely by His grace through the Redemption that is in Christ Jesus” (Rom. 3; 22-24. “Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the laiw.” (Bom. 3a28). This principle removes every mediation between God and the sinner, excpt that of Jesus Christ. It acknowledges auo other intercession. “Look unto-Me and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth, for I am God, and there is none else" (Is. 14:22). It denies all justifying virtue to man’s own works. Good works are the fruit of faith, not the cause of salvation. The Lutheran church therefore finds no use for self-elected forms of devotion which aim at the obtaining the divine favor; that is, so far as the power of these things to make the sinner acceptable in the sight of God is concerned. TJX The question “What must, I do to be saved?” the Lutheran church answers by directing the inquirer solely to Christ, as John the Baptist directed his followers to Christ, saying: “Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.” (John 1:29). And John the evangelist testified of Christ, “And He is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.” (1 John 2:22). “The blood of Jesus Christ, His iSon, cleanseth us from all sin.” (1 John 1, 2 H- And did not our Lord Himself proclaim the purpose of His coming into the flesh ’i: the familiar words ror Go«> 30 loved the world that He gave His only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in—Him should nih-peiish, but have everlasting life. (John J:1b) It is this great truth that distinguishes the Christian religion from every other religion in the world. All other religions make man’s salvation dependent on his own. works, on something that he must do. The Christian religion, recognizing mans inability to save himself by aught that he can do, comes with the Gospel (which means “Good News”) of Christ an 1 assures us that sinners are saved by grace of God (because of what Christ has done for us. This is what the Lutheran church stands for. H. F. Krohn, Pastor.

SOLD BOGUS BONDS AND DISAPPEARED

Lee M. Ransbottom, Former Auditor of Starke County, Missing—Ac--4 tion a Great Surprise. Knox, Ind., 31.—Lee M. Ransbottom, formerly county auditor, is on the ilst of the missing. He has gone, no one knows where, and the manner of his going created more surprise than if a tugboat had anchored at -the (bridge across Yellow The last man in the world that the people here would suspect of crookedness, sold some bogus gravel road bonds, pocketed the proceeds and went away. . And it is irony that in this county (Starke), where a treasurer, a sheriff, a recorder, an auditor and tiwo township trustees have been defaulters, that the moat determined effort was made to abolish the public accounting law, a law all honest officials admit to be -the best on the books <xf Indiana. However, as far as is known, Ransbottom did no wrong as county auditor. It is stated here that his books balanced and he left the office clean. But of that there is no certainty and some of die bondsmen are afraid, in the light of what he has done, that some of his official acts will make them liable. But here is the Story of what Ransbottom did after his term of office as auditor of Starke county expired. On September 10, 1909, Starke county issued $37,500 in 4% per cent gravel road bonds to pay for the construction of the Guernsey road in Washington township, the Moorman road in Center township and the Burns road in Railroad _ township. These bonds were legally issued and property signed bv W. H. Emig, F. C. WariMmetem- and Henry Luken, county commissioners. Because of the shortage of money or the low rate of interest or something else that no one here knows about, these bonds did not sell. Where they were kept and why they were not cancelled has not yet been figured out. In 1910 the (board of commissioners was changed. In April of that year it was composed of Henry Luken, O. J>. Fuller and W. H. Emig, and in that ( month the commissioners, issued a new set of bonds to pay for the roads named in the 1909 bonds. These later (bonds drew 5% per cent interest and were sold at Indianapolis and other places. As far as the 5% per cent bonds are concerned there is no cloud on their legality. Every one had forgotten about the who did think about them supposed they were cancelled, as required by law But a few days ago three of the 4% per cent bonds that Were supposed to have been cancelled were presented to Auditor Weninger for eayment and he, knowing that the onds were illegal, refused to pay. An investigation was made, and it was found that 'Ransfoottom, the former auditor, had sold $10,710 of the 4% per cent fctonds through a Crawfordsville bank which acted as agent for the bonds and to a bank at Toledo, 0., pocketed ffhe money and disappeared. L A dose legal question .is involved in .this matter—whether the county will be held liable for the payment of the bonds or whether Ransbottom’s bondsmen will be held. As the sale of the bonds was not an act done while he iwlas auditor, it is thought the bandsmen will not be held liable. The fall of Lee Ransbottom is almost a calamity in this community. He was the last mon in the world who would be suspected of doing a criminal act. He was a school teacher when nominated for county auditor in 1904, and elected. He was re-elect-ed in 1908 and served through 1912. It was while he was auditor that the state board of accounts made an investigation of the books of Starke county. He refused to issue a warrant for the pay of the field examiners. As far as any one around here knows, Ransbottom was a man of precise behavior and led a quiet and reproadhless life. As a rule when a public official goes wrong, there is a woman in the case or he has tangled the funds of his office in speculation. Bfut every ana here declares that Ransbottom did not seem to care for the songs and festivities of Bacchus, and no one has heard that he speculated. He had started' out as a hunter of money and he proposed to get money, honest money or otherwise. It is the belief here that he did not begin his crooked work until 1913, after he was out of office. Where he kept the illegal' 'bonds is beyond the ken of anyone here. How did he happen to take the first step along the slippery path that leads to easy money for a time, but in the end brings a bitter pay day?

The first thing he did for which he might be criticised was a deal in real estate. He was a director in a local bank. The bank had taken in on foreclosure a farm that was listed in its assets as real estate. The bank examiners did not like that asset and proposed that the land should ibe deeded’ to him and he would place on it a mortgage equal to the amount the bank had in the real estate. This was done and the bank then had a mortgage that was acceptable to the bank examiners as an asset and on which it should be stated, the bank made good. Remember, Ran&ottom did not (pay the bank a cent for this farm, but he traded it to some parties in tMtehigan for a store, ran the store a while and then failed. This, as far as Ransbottom’s friends here know, was his first quest for easy money and they believe that it was so easy he sold the illegal 'bonds to get more easy money. . '

Produce Infertile Eggs!

Farmers lose millions of dollars, annually from bad methods of producing and handling eggs. One-third of this loss is preventable, because it is due to the partial hatching of fertile eggs which have been allowed to become warm enough to begin to incubate. You can save the money now lost from blood rings by keeping the male bird from your flock after the hatching season is over. The rooster does nbt help the hens to lay. He merely fertilizes the germ of the egg. The fetrile germ in hot weather quickly becomes a blood ring, which spoils the egg for food and market. Summer heat has the same effect on fertile eggs as the hen or incubator. After the hatching season cook, sell or pen your rooster. Your hens not running with a male bird will produce infertile eggs—quality eggs that keep best and market best. Heat is the great enemy of eggs, both fertile and' infertile. Farmers are urged to follow these simple rule, which cost nothing but time and thought, and will add dollars to the poultry yard returns: 1. Keep the nests clean; provide one nest for every four hens. 2. Gather the eggs twice daily. 18. Keep the eggs in a cool, dry room or cellar. 4. (Market the eggs at least twice a week. ■5. Sell, kill or confine all male birds as soon as the hatching season is over.
