Joe Kosta, of west of Parr, and several from here attended the sale at George Cover’s Tuesday. Things brought very good prices. While the country is going to ruin. Ha! We notice corn and hogs are advancing in price with all this great shipment of Argentine corn and Canadian hogs. As long as such produce advances we can't see much chance for the cost of living to be lowered. The change in the Monon trains has inconvenienced a great many people all along the line, especially milk train, as the people of the smaller stations where the fast trains don’t stop, always had time in going to Chicago on the milk train to do some shopping and get back the same day. But as the time is cut short an hour, they will not be able to do anything. We do not get any morning papers before the 10:38, so the rural subscribers do not get their papers until, the next day.

LET FORD OWNERS TELL YOU FARMERS CO-OPERATIVE CREAMCRY AXD SUPPLY CO. Successors to . HARDING CREAM COMPANY Churnefs of Fancy Creamery llutt^r Omaha, Neb., Dec. 24, 1913. < Ford Motor Company, Omaha, Nebraska. Gentlemen:—About nine years ago I bought my first pleasure car—price, after adding windshield, top, etc., about $1,800.00. This ear I sold one year later for SSOO.OO. I then bought what was reputed to be one of the best cars made, costing about $3,500.00. I feel tempted to say something about this car but what's the use? This car I traded in on a great big brutal sixtvhorSe power car which, after all, would certainly go some, but the appetite of that old beast for gasoline, oil and tires was something appalling. I finally concluded that the thing for me to do was to get a light car, one that I would feel like using at all times. I therefore bought a Ford. Since then I have bought, for the personal use of officers and employes, and for delivery purposes of this company, eleven Ford cars. These eleven cars cost altogether but little more than my last big •Juggernaut.” When it comes to comfort, service and satisfaction, however, we have simply had a HUNDRED TIMES as much. All our cars are in daily use. Have been going constantly in all sorts of service, and so far as I can see will continue to go indefinitely. Yours truly, CHAS. HARDING, h. L HOOVER, Local Agent.

Special “Health Warning" for March.

March is a trying month for the very young and for elderly people. Croup, bronchial colds, lagrippe and pneumonia are to be fearpd and avoided. Foley’s Honey and Tar is a great family medicine that will quickly stop a cough, check the progress of a cold, and relieve inflamed and congested air passages. It is safe, pure and always reliable.—A. F LONG.

FOUR CORNERS.

Homer Fisher is working for Geo. Hopsline this summer. Orville Fisher has gone over to a suffragette, body and soul, and moved on a farm northeast of Kersey. Miss Ethel Ilibbs, who has been sick for several months, was able to walk over to Mr. Turner's one day last week. D. H. Turner, we are glad to say, is now able to sit up the greater part of the time, and it' no complications comes up will get along O. K. The farmers are getting anxious to get their teams in the fields and their oats in the ground. A few will commence sowing this week, George Stemble has sold his lumber yard at Wheatfield to William Helmiok, who will now have full control of the lumber business there. Ted Keen will work for George Myers this season. George will continue his work as agent for the C. & E. I. and Ted will run the farm. J. A. Hixson and wife returned home from Fowler Monday eve, after spending a week visiting their two daughters, Mrs. Frank Cones and Mrs. Guy F. Barnard. The patrons of the Wheatfield postoflice are all worked up over the possibility of the office being gobbled up by our friend of the “Review,” one of the Murphy faithfuls, so to speak. Well, why don’t some of you get busy? There is sortie higherups than Murphy or Peterson either. If you should show up conditions as they will bo should this calamity befall the patrons of the office and rural route, it might yet be changed, for you can see what great expense there will be, in changing the interior of the office. The roof would also have to be altered and a skylight Substituted so as to “let a little Sunshine in.” And then, suppose while the P. M. was busy distributing the mail, the fire alarm should sound? The P. M. would have to take charge and the people would be obliged to call again in the afternoon for their mail. But the I*. M. would be so completely tired out after the strenuous work in putting out the fire that one would be obliged to enter the office on tiptoe and ask for his or her mail with a please-oan-I-get-my-mail tone.

Avoid Stuffy Wheezy Breathing.

Take Foley’s Honey and Tar Compound for an inflamed and congested condition of the air passages and bronchial tubes. A cold develops quickly if not checked and bronchitis, la grippe and pneumonia are dangerous possibilities. Harsh racking coughs weaken the system, but Foley’s Honey and Tar is safe, pure and certain in results. Contains no opiates.-—A. F. LONG.

BROOKLYN TABERNACLE

BIBLE-ST UPY’ON

WHAT DOTH JEHOVAH REQUIRE? Matthew 7:24-29—March 29." "What doth Jehorah require of thee, but to do justly and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with thy God?" -Alirah 6:S. sought to impress upon 4 His hearers that it was not suf- ■ ficicnt to hear that a Kingdom of God. was coming to bring blessings to the world, and that a Kingdom class was being called to be Messiah’s joint-heirs in that Kingdom. Action would be necessary on their part if they would attain this high privilege which God had granted them. Jesus gave an illustration, saying

that those who heai obeyed it would be like a Wise man who built upon the rock, where rains would not wash away the foundation. Th e storms of life and the great erisis, death, are sure to come. Amidst these trials there will be calmness, security and confidence for such

as have accepted the Lord’s arrangement and have walked to the best of their ability in Jesus’ footsteps.

“Other Foundation Can No Man Lay.” On the Other band, Jesus iutimatod that many who heard Ills words and expressed great appreciation of them, would fail to take the proper steps to attain the glorious Kingdom privileges which lie presented. They would allow custom, habit, love of pleasure, love of ease, the spirit of the world, to hinder them, from making full devotion of themselves to God. Such did not build their faith upon the proper foundation. Perhaps some built upon the Law. and thought to commend themselves to God by their own endeavors, without the imputation of Christ's merit. Such would be greatly mistaken Other foundation can no man lay than that which God has laid—Jesus Christ. HI death is our redemption-price; aud’lii - appearance in glory as our Advocat - is to make good our unintentional shortcomings. With all such, the day of trial will surely come; and their faith structure, being without proper foundation, will give way. They will suffer loss of all their hopes This, however, does not signify, as many once supposed, that they will go to eternal torment. Evidently nearly all Christians, misled by the creeds of the Dark Ages, have read Into God's Word things which It does not contain.

Compare Bt. Paul’s Parable. The Apostle Paul used a similar illustration. Those building upon that foundation with the gold, silver and precious stones of Divine Truth—developing faith and character In harmony with the Divine requirements—will suffer no loss in the great trialod.ly at the end .of this Age. But others who build with the wood, hay and stubble of human tradition and self complaeency. will have their entire faith structure consumed. 1 Corinthians 8:10-15.) Nevertheless the Apostle tells us that even these, if they have built upon Christ, will t hemselves be saved, yet so as by fire. They will be what is termed a tribulation class, described in Revelation 7:14-17. Vhe class building with gold, silver and precious stones, will be a Little Flock, a Royal Priesthood. But the class building upon the Itock without proper materials will be the Great company, the antitype of the Levites. They will serve God through the priestly class. “The People Were Astonished.” No wonder the people were astonished at such doctrines as Jesus set forth ! His teachings had a positiveness quite different from the speculations and wonderings of the scribes and Pharisees. So it is always with the Truth. Wherever there is confusion and mystery, we may be sure that there is error and ignorance. Hence the necessity that all who preach Christ should have the anointing, or ordination to preach, which God alone gives through the begetting of the Holy Spirit

Our Golden Text. The Prophet Micah addressed our Golden Text to the people of Israel, and therefore his message was given

"Saved So as by Fire."

giv e n to Israel through Moses will be given to the whole world of mankind through Messiah. The requirements will be to do justly, to love kindness, to walk humbly with God. The reason why Messiah’s ministration of this Law will be a success, while Moses’ ministration was a failure so far as bringing any one to perfection was concerned, is that Messiah’s Kingdom will be fully prepared and authorized to forgive sinners and to help them back to the image and likeness ot God, originally represented in Father Adam. The right to thus forgive sin and lift the sinner out of degradation, belongs to Messiah, by virtue of His sacrifice.

“The Rock of Christ Jesus.”

from the standpoint of the Law. Nevertheless iio Jew ever fulfilled the Law except Jesus, because all except Him were fallen and imperfect He alone was “holy, harmless, undefiled and separate from sinners.” \ During Messiah’s Millennial Kingdom. this same Law
