Price, DD. More relates to this theme and Person than any other subject in the world. The world is indeed Christo-centric. While President Coolidge’s Thanksgiving proclamation did not mention Christ it was dated Anno Domni—in the year of the Lord. Only New Testament Scripture portions are indicated for research but many could have pertinently been given from the Old Testament. There are many prophecies which refer to Him and one of the strongest evidences of the authority of the Bible is the record of prophecy and its fulfillment in later history. Search out the facts and teachings in the Scripture portions: Luke a:II, »5:j-7; John 3:14-17; 10:9-11, 14-16, 27, 28; Acts 3: 1-18; Romans 5:1-11; Philtppians 2:5-11; II Timothy 1:9-19. The Golden Text is a definition of the word “Jesus”—“Ajtd sfialt caiPhTs nJwr Jgriti for it is he that shall save his.people from their sins,” Matt. 1 .21. Let it be noted that the historicity of Jesus, the Man of Nazareth, is accepted by mdividtMU and races wb~ d» not acknowledge Him as the Christ, meanu^i the Messiah, the Anointed One. Those who doubt or question may well !>c referred to both literature and art which finds its pi rious basis i Christ, the Son of God. Saul of Tarsus beheld his Lord as he approached Damascus and evidence thereof is to be seen in the changed life that fol lowed. The letters of Paul are mature conclusions after most careful research and divine revelations. laist month, at the Birthday celebration the very air was ringing with the secchoing of the angel's song, which was first heard by the shepherds of Judah. The angel explained to them “There is born to you this day in the city of David, a Saviour, who is Christ the l.ord, M Lake *:M. * Hts life was fully in accord with the claims made concerning Him. He did not fall short in any respect. He outlined his method of working in the (arable recorded by Luke. He is ever the Great Shepherd vitally’ concerned for each lamb and sheep in the entire flock. His mission in leav ing the throne-place in heaven, where He had been from all time with the Father, was to shepherd His sheep and at any cost to Himself. During the 33 years on earth He revealed how intimately He would enter into the life problem of rarh mai. I Mankind was not saved by his exemplary life but only by his supreme sacrifice «*n the cross at Calvary. Paul presents the matter very clearly in the selected (x*rti<»ns in Romans. Man could never make himself right eous in the sipht of our holy God. W f e are justified, not by a lifetime of our acts, but s<»lely as our sins are given to Jesus and His righteousness is imputed to us. He made full atonement for our sins in his sacrificial death on the cross. John also, in parabolic form, pictures the pathway of salvartou — - — —^ —f iim 4 HORSES!

South Dr.Frank Crane Says The Other World When you sail out across tfie sea you wonder what all that waste of water is for. It stretches away for miles and miles. Days at a time you cannot see even another ship. Water, water everywhere, clear to the horizon. And they say that three-fourths of the earth’s surface is ocean. We think we people who live on land, and those that sail across the sea in boats, are the whole thing. Man thinks that the universe is made for him, but Mr. Pope says that the goose thinks the same thing. It is stated that there are morp tivin^things TiTrder the water than in the air % It is not unreasonable to suppose that whoever made this earth thought the denizens of the sea were more important than the inhabitants of the land. Else He wouldn't have made so many of them. J? Curious about that pther world ! People drown wlieh they are submerged in the water, and those things that inhabit the water generally drown when they come up into the air. No man can go down into the home of the fishes and live very long. When Mr. Fish comes up into the air we all live but he dies shortly. Perhaps that other world of spirits, of which much is imagined, is like that. No spirit has been proved to mingle with men. This atmosphere of ours may be as fatal to it as to a fish. At any rate we know his atmosphere is fatal to us. No man has gone into it and returned to tell the tale. We eat the fish when they are cooked, but the fish goes us one better and eats us when we are not cooked. We^have strange stories of mythical beings who inhabit the depths of the sea. Few believe them. We have equally strange stories of witches and mediums who call spirits out of the upper world. Some believe them. But as far as we know our activities and acquaintances must be confined to this narrow stratum of the earth's atmosphef^. We go below it into the sea, or above it, through the portals of death, at our peril. —\J « # * TREASURER’S TAX NOTICE T . / The County Treasurer’s office will be open for the purpose of receiving taxes from October 15th, 1928, to March d.5th, 1929.
