Syracuse-Wawasee Journal PUBLISHED EVERY FRIDAY AT SYRACUSE, INDIANA BY SMITH & HOWARD * IRA T. HOWARD EDWARD H. SMITH Editor Business Manager Entered as Second Class Matter December 31, 1937, at the Postoffice at Syracuse Indiana, under the Act of March Big Lake Season In Offing THE Journal welcomes the opening of the 1938 Lake season and all reports from the resort hotels and cottage owners this is going to be the best season since 1930. Few resorts in the country can show improvements like those that have been made around Lake Wawasee and Syracuse during the past year. In addition to the fine smart up-to-date building improvement in the Town of Syracuse, the J. K. Lily lake house on the north shore and the extensive landscaping and building by Mr. Sheeley and Mr. Stroh on the east bank of Wawasee is making our resort one of the leading summer show places of the middle west. Ready For Summer Lake Season WE know the summer visitors will be struck with the up-to-date-ness of the stores in Syracuse and the fresh attractiveness of displays of merchandise. There is no longer any need of vacationists and cottage owners to have to truck their supplies and necessities from their home towns to their summer cottages, for now they can easily purchase all their requirements for the summer here in Syracsue and the quality of goods and price cannot be bettered at home. > _ . , „ , ._ ~ Horses Originated in America Unique for Canals and Bridges Horses originated in America, but Utrecht, Holland, is unique for its ever y horse in this country is an sunken canals spanned by innu- import or the descendant of an immerable bridges. port I Classified Want Ads I It Easy To Place A Want Ad in The Journal * t JUST CALL | | 842 | Wanted, Buy, Sell, Trade, Lost or Found

PUBLIC SAFETY Today, the problem of driving safely is of paramount importance to your welfare, and that of millions of Americans. Much time and effort, and millions of dollars are spept annually in an endeavor to reduce motoring accidents and fatalities. The tire manufacturers spent endless effort to make motoring safer for the American motorist. Police and research departments ceaselessly strive to discover “why so many accidents” — “how to reduce them”. * Their efforts show that the motorists themselves are directly responsible through carelessness and neglect, for over 90% of the auto accidents every year. One of the greatest causes of auto accidents are caused by the blowing out of old and dangerous tires. This next week the nation’s tire men are spending thousands of dollars to emphasize the risk of driving on old worn out tires. We join in this nation-wide movement for safety and heartily lend our support and effort to extend this timely warning for Public Safety. A recent survey, just completed, indicates that 59 million tires now in use are smooth, old and dan? gerous. Unless these dangerous tires are replaced millions of motorists will be taking needless chances. Why rish human life for those few extra miles? Only you, Mr. and Mrs. Motorist, have control over this MENACE of old, dangerous tires. WHY TAKE AN UNNECESSARY RISK? From actual figures it has been found that tires are the cheapest item in cost per mile in operating your motor car. Tires in America today are the best — at about onefourth the cost of “the good ol’ days”. It’s time for action to halt the Hand of Fate! Designed Ferris Wheel George W. Ferris, an American engineer of Galesburg, 111., designed the Ferris wheel. Habits of King Salmon The king salmon of the Yukon riv- ’ er often swims 2,000 miles upstream . before it spawns.

YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC— Marks of Discipleship. “The almighty dollar’’—how triumphantly it rules in the affairs of nations and of the men who make up nations. The world’s measure of success is how much one can “make,” and “no questions asked” as one made it, if he but "~SM5fd the legal pitfalls that may Uand him in jail. Even that is no longer a disgrace, for men who have defrauded others serve a term in jail to “pay their debt to society,” and then return without shame to enjoy the use of their ill-gotten gains. Skill in the arts and sciences is rated according to its financial value. Brains and beauty are commodities of the market place. Liquor is permitted to destroy our people because it provides a profit. The minds of men and women of decency and intelligence revolt at the whole situation. Let us encourage them as we improve the opportunity today to present God’s moral and spiritual standards. I. Self Before God (vv. 17-22). The rich young ruler had many advantages and virtues. He was young, life was before him, vivid was his imagination, strong was his body. He was educated, and developed intelligence is an honor to any man. He had position, which can always be used for good. He had money, which when rightly gained and used, is a powerful and honorable possession. Above all, he had the priceless jewel of good character. Notice that he had kept the commandments, that he came before the Lord in humility seeking truth, and that Jesus “loved him” (v. 21). Almost any father would be proud to own this young man as a son. Many churches would welcome him to membership and even to leadership. Jesus dealt with him honestly, however, and went to the root of his difficulty which was that he loved himself and his possessions more than he loved God. Therefore he must give them up before he could really follow Jesus. Sad indeed was his refusal. He came running (v. 17), but he went away sorrowful (v. 22). What stands between you and a full surrender to Christ? Face it honestly. Be thankful if your pastor or a friend frankly points it out. Shun those who would “pat you on the back” and assure you that all is well. A cancer will kill unless it is cut out. The surgeon’s knife may hurt, but it is an instrument of good. Note that the statement of Jesus in verse 18 is not a denial of His deity, but a definite claim that He is God. He says in effect, “If you call me good you must recognize that I am God.” H. God Before Self (vv. 21-27). The disciples, who evidently shared the common opinion that money could do almost anything, were surprised to hear that riches were really a hindrance to spirituality, because (v. 24) of the tendency of men to trust in their wealth and forget their need of God. Jesus does not leave the rich man without hope, for he goes on to say that what is impossible for men and even for the rich man himself is entirely possible with God. Two things need emphasis in this connection. First, let those of us who have little of this world’s goods be thankful that we have, at least, been delivered from this temptation. It may well be an expression of God’s love and grace toward us. Second, let us thank God for every man of wealth who has given himself and what he has into God’s hands. 111. The Last Before the First (vv. 28-31). The ways of God are confusing and humbling to the flesh. The way up in spiritual things is to go down (Mark 9:35). Those who are first in the eyes of men are often last in God’s sight. Others whom men count as least stand highest in God’s sight because they are faithful and true to Him. The world looks at the missionary of the cross and says, “He has sacrificed everything,” and knows nothing of the “hundredfold” reward even in this life, “and in the world to come, eternal life” (v. 30). Man’s Humble Origin And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and the man became a living soul.— Gen. 2:7. The Live Minister The minister who gets out of touch with men will soon forget to speak their language. What to Pray For What should we pray for? Everything which we need.

PASTOR OF FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH PRAISES RETONGA “I Bless The Day I Decided To Take It,” He States “I have always been a great believer in herbs, and I knew that some day I would find an herb medicine that would help me. Now I bless the day I decided to try Retonga, for its benefits were so wonderful it has changed the whole aspect of my life,” is the straight-forward statement of Rev. Chas. B. Barnes, Pastor of the First Baptist Church, Rockville, Ind., in a remarkable indorsement of this celebrated medicine. ft < ipyHlj REV. CHAS. B. BARNES • “For a number of years I was in such a badly run-down condition I could not eat the simplest homecooked foods without some form of stomach distress,” continued Rev. Barnes. “I guess I had a nervous stomach, for my food would ferment until my whole abdomen seemed full of acids and gas. I don’t see how this fermented mass could nourish my body, and in fact it seemed to fill my whole system with toxic poisons. I felt tired and draggy all the time and seemed to lose my ambition and initiative. When I went to bed I felt like I wanted to stay there. My kidneys and bladder apparently became affected causing an achy feeling in my back; and my bowles would not move unless I took something to make them. “My improvement on Retonga was wonderful. I digest my food perfectly; my bowels are regular, and my vitality seemed increased a hundred per cent. I hope this statement will help others who are suffering from the same conditions which troubled me.” The first bottle of Retonga is guaranteed to bring a gratifying improvement or the small cost will be refunded without question. You can obtain Retonga at Thornburg Drug Co., Syracuse, Indiana. a<HCHMHMHKH>OWWSHO<KHMHCHCHCKHCHOS ice | For Ice Service | Phone I 98 “ J I Syracuse Ice Co.

Hol Cross Buns Are Legendary Whence came the hot cross bun Amejicans eat annually on Good Friday? Several legends surround this in- ■ stitution, most of them apparently founded on the following explanation : The early Greeks offered to Apollo, Diana and other gods, at the spring festival, corresponding to Easter in the Christian church, cakes or “bous,” round with small horns. The round feature represented the moon, on which was placed four quarters, representing the stages of the moon. The Christian church later adopted the custom, making buns of the same dough kneaded for the host, or bread or wafer used in the sacrament of holy communion.
