These, John A. Smith of Sious City, la., a member of the Monahac poet ; Hans Hunsdorf, a disabled man now patient in a Minnesota hospital | and John Kass of Detroit, led al! others in securing applications. Smith obtained his members In t ruther unique manner. He worked out a scheme known as the "Cudahy plan" by means of which he caused the big lndustrlul firms of Sioux City to pay up the dues for ex-service employees, utilizing a "checkoff" for repayment. His record approximated nearly one member for each working day of the year. . Hunsdorf obtained his members by personal contact, particularly In Vet erans' Bureau hospitals, and wherever veterans gathered and rolled his record up to nearly 250. Kass, a member of the Charles A. Learned post In Detroit, made an earnest campaign for his applicants, and Is said to have Interviewed more ex-ssrvlce men than either of the other two "champs." His record ap proximated that of Hunsdorf. But to do this, he faced severe competition from one Theodore Kolbe, now depart ment adjutant of the Legion In Mich igan. Kolbe's record was near enough to that of Kass that It took a board of judges to determine the standing of the two. Kass has already made a start toward a 1924 record. On February 29 ho hnd collected dues and applica tions from (ft veterans. His method John Kass. &f enrolling the veterans as LtVlon naires Is simple but ?tfflclent. "I ask tbem," he snys. Kass' accomplishment waa completed within 18 days, the du ration of the post membership drive. In addition he added members to other Wnyne county posts. Ills approach Is Hitch the Legion officials in Michigan believe that he must use more salesmanship than do either Smith or Hunsdorf. Smith's plan for reaching th i? industrial con cerns Is sort of an tdvantage, while Hunsdorf gets men Who are dally en Joying benefits of the Legion, they argue. And Kass gets out and lands the members by hard work, according to their idea. The three have on it triangular race for membership honors this year. The Learned posters kave challenged Omaha post for the greatest mem bership during- 1024, a record here tofore held by the N'lbrnskans. Kass Is one of the main reliances of the Detrolters In bringing this honor to his city. Hunsdorf Is avowml to better his record by nt least a hundred, nnd while the men of Monahan post In Sioux City nre dependent on Smith to handle tho recruiting alone, It Is safe to say that his re :ord will approx imate that of 1023. The "Mnn from Michigan" has al ready been proclaimed champion of th? Wayno county couinrll membership campaign, and hlR ac>nmpllshment re quiring less than thi?e weeks would apparently put him Into the national championship class w tth good chanres In the finnl outcome.

The veteran, Rarl Mason of Indlavupolls, provided for the bequest In his will, which named the head of the Iseglon dis trict hospitalization committee as exe cutor.

The will recites tllst "every con sideration and kindness" had been shown to Mason by Ijie legion, and that he made the gtfv as a token of gratitude, and to aarlst In providing aid for other disabled reterans.

The Conflict between Jesebel and li-iljah. I YOUNO PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP IC How Elijah Won the Victory. I. Elijah's Message to Ahab (vv. 17-18). ; When Jezebel become the wife of King Ahnb, she waged a savage war faro against God's prophets, killing nil she eoold find, thus seeking to abolish the true religion and $et up idolatry Instead. Elijah suddenly appeared, an nouncing the suspension of moisture (I Kings 17 :1) as a Judgment upon the people for their Idolatry. He sounded three striking notes In his message : (1) "As the Lord God of Israel llv cth' He knew that he represented the living God, therefore did not fear. (2) "Before whom I stand" ? Be cause Elijah stood before God, he could stand before Ahab. (8) "There Bhall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my word." Drought was the punishment for idolatry (Deut. 11:10, 17). II. A Challenge to Baal Worship (1 Kings 18:17-40). As soon as Elijah had delivered his message concerning the drought, he retired from the king's sight, while j the penalty of the king's sins should be visited upon the land. 1. Elijah Shows Himself to Ahab (vv. 17, 18). (1) Ahab's question (v. 17). His aim in tills question was no doubt to intimidate Elijah, to awe him into submission. The devil goes about as a roaring lion (I Wet. 5:8). (2) Elijah's answer (v. 18). He denied the charge a?d boldly declared that the calamity wtolch had befallen the nation was caused by the Idolatry of Ahab and Ms family. 2. The Bold Challenge (vv. 19-24). ' (1) The people assemble (vv. 19, j 20). At the urgent request of Elijah the king convened the people. (2) The ringing carl to decision (vv. .21-24). a. The question asked (v. 21). Many of the people had not wholly forsaken Qod. They attempted to worship both God and Baal. b. The silence of the people (v. 21). This may have been because of fear of the king , or Ignorance, for many were of the opinion that to be religious was ! the only thing necessary, irrespective of ^he being worshiped. c. The method of decision (vv. 22 24). Two sacrifices were to be pro vided, one to be .offered to Baal, the other to God. The one who answered by fire wag to bo the God. a The Test Applied (vv. 25-39). (1) Offering by the prophets of Baal (vv. 2G-29). Elijah gave the prophets of Baal the first opportunity to prove? to the people as to whether Baal was a real god. (2) The offering by Elijah (vv. 30 39). # a. People Invited near (v. 30). There aro no secrets In God's wor ship. b. The altar repaired (vv. 30-32). Elijah took twelve stones represent ing the united naflon. c. The offering on the altar (vv. 88-35). After the bullock was ln ploce ho hod four barrels of water three times emptied upon the sacrifice and the wood so as to fill the trench obout the altar. d. Elijah's prayer (vv. 30, 37). This \yas a model prayer. (a) It was based upon covenants (f. 80). All real prayer rests upon covenant relationships. (b) Its object was God's exaltation (v. 30). Elijah was Jealous for God's glory, but the only thing that he asked for himself was to be known as God's servant. (c) It was for the salvation of the people (v. 37). His heart yearned after Israel. He wanted them to come to know God. e. The result (vv. 38, 39). (a) The fire of the Lord fell and consumed, not only the sacrifice, but the wood, stones and dust, even lick ing up the water In the trenches. (b) The people fell on their faces and confessed that the Lord was ?he God. 4. The Execution of Baal's I'rophots (?. 40). Israel's government was a theocracy. ? Ood was theft- King. Idol atry was treason agalnfct the King. Loyalty to Hriat * No Christian ought to be afraid to take his religion qjtf where tliere Ik none. .
