Just 30 years ago today. April 29th, 1908, the first issue of the original Syracuse Journal was produced by two young men, Garfield Walker and John Fancil. These young men purchased the old plant of the Leesburg Standard. and moved it to the old frame business house that at that time, occupied the present site of the State Bank building. Within that year the paper changed hands twice, passing from its original owners to the -management of the writer, then to Ed C. Graham. Mr. Graham ran the paper for some time, then it was sold to Wm. G. Connolly, who for some years conducted it. later selling out. Since then, four people have owned and managed the old Journal plant. the last beirig F.

Then came the advent of the present Syracuse-Wawasee Journal. Ira T. Howard, old, gouty and testy, as its editor, and Edward H. Smith, young, full of vinegar, vim and what it takes to put it over, as manager, with six dollars in capital, launched the new “informer of public opinion.” just 20 weeks ago today, without a “fly in our ointment”. True, we are in debt, out of jail, hated by some, adored by others, and going stronger than mustard. We trust we are giving our large circle of readers the kind of a country newspaper it wants.

IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY I chool Lesson By REV. HAROLD L. LUNDQUIST. Dean of the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago. © Western Newspaper Union. Lesson for May 1 FOLLOWING VISION WITH SERVICE h LESSON TEXT—Mark 9:M-». GOLDEN TEXT—AU things are possible to him that believeth.—Mark 9:23. PRIMARY TOPIC—When Only Jesus Could Help. JUNIOR TOPIC—At the Foot of the Mountain. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC— Living Up to Our Knowledge of Christ. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—j Following Vision with Service. One of the lessons that seems hard to learn and to keep constantly effective in the life of a Christian is that mountain-top experiences of spiritual uplift are not an end in themselves but a preparation for service. All too often we come, to regard such times of peculiar blessing, whether in the privacy of our own room, or in the great conference of Christian workers, as something which should glow warmly in our own hearts, making us glad in the Lord, and not as a background and preparation for ministry to others. One might just as well hope to feed the physical body constantly without any work or exercise and keep in good health, as to feed the soul on good things, do nothing for God or fellow-man, and stiH avoid what someone has called “spiritual dyspepsia.’’ The writer has just attended a most unusual and blessed Bible conference, the leaders of which rightly apprehended this truth. Evangelism was the matter chiefly in mind, but instead of announcing the theme of the week’s meetings as “Evangelism” the program presented it as “Preparation for Evangelism.” That is sound spiritual sense. We came not to discuss evangelism itself so much as to prepare ourselves to go out and evangelize. God help us to do it! Jesus rightly characterized the time in which he lived as I. A Faithless Generation (w. 1419). “Jesus found in the valley disputing scribes, a distracted father, a demon-possessed boy, and defeated disciples.” The unbelief which called forth the rebuke of Jesus “is revealed in different phases. There were the scribes, willful and persistent unbelief; there was the father, unwilling unbelief; there was the boy, irresponsible unbelief; and there were the disciples, unconscious unbelief. The whole atmosphere was an unbelieving atmosphere” (Morgan). As we look at that depressing picture of long agd, let us consider ourselves lest we also be tempted to “limit God” by our faithlessness. .The most casual reader of Scripture cannot help but see that God seeks out and honors faith, and as we begin to study God's Word with care we realize that the fundamental of all fundamentals is really to believe God. Some Christian men and women are living out a tremendous testimony for God by fully believing Him and His Word, but many of those who profess to follow Him actually make Him appear ridiculous before the world because their unbelief makes Him out to be a “small” God instead of the infinite, eternal, omnipotent God. 11. The All-Powerful Saviour (w. 23-27). The keynote of our first division might well have been the sad words “they could not” in verse 18. But now the Son of God has come and the new keynote is the inspiring words of verse 23, “all things are possible to him that believeth.” There is np problem too difficult for our Lord; Jhere is no sorrow top deep for His comfort; therp if pp challenging opportunity tpo great for His enabling power. 111. Prayer the Connecting Link (w. 28, 29). The disciples in chagrin at their inability to deal with the difficulty of the demon-possessed boy, having witnessed the power of Christ in delivering him, begin now to realize that evidently even though unconscious of it, they had come into the powerless position of unbelief. What a solemn warning there is for us in the experience of these followers of the Lord. Like the termites who destroy the very life and strength of wood—and yet leave 1 it apparently whole, only to crumble in dust when it is put under the pressure of daily use—there are spiritually destructive influences which all but unconsciously destroy the virile strength of the Christian. Prayerlessness is the most effective weapon of Satan at this point. Without prayer there is no power. Real problems are not successfully met nor are opportunities grasped “but by prayer.” Happiness Happiness grows at our own firesides and is not to be picked in strangers’ gardens.—Douglas Jerrold. Our Business It is to' you, who are grown men, poble and honorable, that the whole y/prld calls for new work and nobleSilencp Helps The soul needs silence paore than speech.

The people of the community have manifested their enthusiasm for the school in the fact that an average of a hundred have enrolled each year. The school will run again this year according ti the general plans used during the past two years, with certain additional features growing out of these years of experience, and the latest methods in conducting vacation church schools. Sessions will be held from 8:30 to 11 five days a week. The daily program will include worship service, class periods, handicraft work, supervised recreation, and church visitation.
