-ZION LUTHERAN CHURCH AT
DASHWOOD OBSERVES
DOUBLE JUBILEE
Sixty years ago in the late sum
mer of 1873 Zion Lutheran Church
at Dashwood was founded and twQp-
ty-five years ago this fall the present
church edifice was dedicated, Last
Sunday the congregation observed
this double anniversary with two in
spiring services. Rev. Paul Graup-
ner, a former pastor, was. the guest
speaker and the local pastor, Rev.
Theo. L. Luft conduced the services.
In the morning service Rev. Luft
read an historical sketch of the con-,
gregation since its inception. From
small beginnings the present large
congregation evolved. During these
years eight pastors served the con
gregation, the ninth and present pas
tor since the spring of the present
year. Older residents of this com
munity will recall the names of the
pasors: Graef, Himmler, Schroeder
and Eifert, while the younger gener
ations is acquainted with the names
of Thun, Gaupner, Bruer and Ness.
Nothing outstanding or sensational
occurred during these 60 years of ex
istence, it was rather a normal,
steady growth and congregational ac
tivities were carried on in a quiet
and unpretentious manner.
The choir under the direction of
Mr. Clayton Pfile, rendered splendid
and appropriate selections at each
service. At both services the church
was well filled with members and
friends from far and near. The
chancel was beautifully decorated
with ferns and baby mums. On Mon
day evening an anniversary supper
was served in the basement of the
church several hundred participating
in the well' appointed meal. During
and following the supper musical
numbers, choir numbers, piano and
vocal duetts, speeches and recitations
were offered for the entertainment
of the guests. The Ladies’ Aid were
in charge of the preparation, decor-,
ating and serving and did their part
well to make the affair a success in
every way: Rev. P. crraupner and
family, who had stayed over for the
supper, left for their home in Farm
ington, Mich., on Tuesday morning.
Sunday School Lesson
PAUL IN CORINTH
Sunday, Nov. 26—1 Cor. 2:10-18;
2:1-5.
Golden Text
I determined not-to know anything
among you, save Jesus Christ, and
Him crucified. (1 Cor. six.)
From Athens, the centre of the
culture of the world in literature, art
and philosophy, Paul came to Cor
inth and found kindred spirits in a
man. and his wife, named Aquila and
Priscilla, and he lived in their home.
'Because he was of the same craft as
. . . for their occupation were tent
makers.” Paul was a tentmaker and
he plied his trade and supported
himself financially so that he might
not be a burden to those to whom he
ministered spiritually, as he explains
in several of his letters. From the
Areopagus, philosophical centre of
Athens, to the home of tentmakers
may have seemed like a “come down
hut it was not this for the greatest
apostle in the history of Chrisianity,
Because Paul lived “in the heaven
lies” on. the throne with his risen
and glorifed Lord, nothing honest
or honorable beneath him.
Together with his tentmaking he
preached Christ at very Opportunity
particularly to the Jews in the syna
gogue, “and testified to the Jews
that Jesus 'was Clirst,” Every Jew
knew the meaning of “Messiah” or
“Christ,” from the Old Testament;
but few of them were ready to ad
mit that the man Jesus of Nazareth
was this promised Messiah of Israel,
,Sq they contemptuously rejected
Paul’s testimony and “blasphemed”
In obedience to the Lord’s command
(Matt. Paul declared to
these apostle Jews; “Your blood be
upon your own headB: I am clean;
from henceforth I will go unto the
Gentiles.”
The Jews were through with Paul,
but the Lord was not, and He spoke
to Paul “in the night by a vision;
Be not afraid, but speak, and hold
not thy peace; For I am with thee,
and no man shall set .on thee to hurt
thee: for I have much people in this
city.” And so Paul, stayed on his min
istry at Corinth for a year and a half.
The first tw>o chapters of his First
Epistle to the Corinthians make an
important part of this lesson. The
letter was written some five years
later, and Paul pleads with the
Christians of Corinth not to permit
the divisions that had sprung up
among them. 'Some were saying
they were followers of Paul, others
of ApoLios; others of Cephas or Pe
ter, still others .said they were the
Christ’s followers. Paul cut ' to the
heart of the matter with the ques
tion: “Is Christ divided? Was Paul
crucified for you? Or were we bap
tised in the name of Paul-”
Whenever Christians become par
tisans in any way, following this or
that man rather than letting their
whole interest centre in tne Lord Je
sus Christ Himself, there is division
and spiritual loss.
Then follows one of the most im
portant passages in the entire New
Testament. We may well believe it
was written because of the bondage
in which Paul had found tne Athen
ians (like cultured people every
where, both then and today) to
man’s wisdom, the human intellect,
the pTide of learning.
Paul reminds them that he had
preached the Gospel “not with wis
dom of words, lest the cross of
Christ should be made, of more ef
fect.”
Human wisdom appeals to men’s
pride; the “wiser”’ a bit of reason
ing is, the wiser must be the hearer
or the reader to understand it, and
and man’s attention is turned in up
on himself. But ’the cross of Christ’
never appeals' to men’s pride; on the
contrary, it exposes men’s degrad
ation.
The cross of Christ was necessary
only because man is a hopelessly
lost sinner, justly doomed to eter
nal destruction, “the second death.”
because of his sin. 'On the cross,
the sinless Son of God took man’s
place ,bearing his sins and even be
ing made sin for us, and thereby
receiving in Himself God's righteous
wrath against sin, and paying the
penalty of sin, which is death. This
was done freely and voluntarily by
the Son of God that men might be
saved.
But when men consider them
selves self-sufficient, they reject the
cross.—the “offense of the cross” is
too much for them.
So Paul writes, “the preaching of
the cross is to them that perish fool
ishness; but unto us which are sav
ed it is the power of God.”
The best human philosophy that
any man has ever worked out is ut
terly useless when it cornea to the
saving of a single soul. Therefore,
says God, “I will destroy the wisdom
of the wise, and will bring to noth
ing the understanding to the pru
dent.”
The Jews expected their Messiah
to come in power and glory, sweep
aside the Roman Government, take
the throne himself, and exalt them
above all other people. He is go
ing to do this some day; but they
overlooked their Old Testament
Scriptures showing that He must
first suffer, and later reign in glory.
So “Christ crucified” was a stumb
ling-block to the Jews.
To the Greeks, the world of cul
ture, like the intelligentsia of today,
the idea of meeting a Saviour from
their own sins was folly—-their su
perior wisdom told them something
“better” than that.
Now hear Paul’s inspired words:
“But we preach Christ crucified, un
to the Jews a .stumbling-block, and
unto the Greeks foolishness; but un
to him which are called, both Jews
and Greeks, Christ the power of
God, and the wisdom of God.”
Could Not Sleep at Night
Tired Out During the Day
Mrs. N. W. Lukowey, Oakburn, Man., writes:—
“After an operation I was left in a very weak and
fun dowh condition. I could not sleep at night, and
would be all tired out during the day.
I tried all kinds of medicine, but none of them
helped mo until I used Milbum’s H. & N. Pills. I
took two boxes and I am very thankful for the help
they gave me. I would strongly advise all those
being in a run down condition to give thcso Pills a
thorough trial.”

WORTH NOTING
The government of the United States commenced muddling the
world’s business affairs w'hen it went off the gold standard, that is
when it refused to allow its treasury officials to pay one dollar s
worth of gold or 23.22 grains of gold, for its paper dollar. From
that time on United States money had merely a gambling value, as
no one knew from one minute to another the real worth of the Unit
ed States Dollar. The Dollar from that moment was worth just
what the whim of the party in power might devise or order or al
most anything else you care to imagine in your wildest fancies.
But that was not all by any manner of means for the Congress of
the United States gave the President authority to get up a new gold
dollar in which the gold content of the dollar might be reduced
anywhere to 50 per cent. That is, no man knew the worth of the
United States gold dollar. Confusion has been the result. You
can’t trade with a people who have no monetary standard. The
whole situation is worthy of the fertile brain of that big business
man, Andrew H. Brown.
The people of the United States cried for this thing and they
are getting what they cried for to the very top of their bent.
Ex-President Hoover was interviewed recently regarding how
he spends the day, so it is alleged. His reply is said to have been

THAT WEAKEST LINK
For a number of years we have been persuading ourselves that
severe winters of one sort and another, are a thing of the past. We
have been getting rid of our cutters and sleighs and otherwise as
suring ourselves that “the seasons are changing.” Well, we know
better now. We have had about as severe a November as any of
us know anything about, all stories about the relative inactivity of
squirrels to the contrary notwithstanding. In this country, we have
learned that we may count on severe winter weather. The farm
er whose roots and fruit were not protected against the invasion of
the North wind and the frost king has been a real sufferer.
Further, we have learned that really hard times may always
be looked .for. Like the severe winters, they are bound to come.
The longer severe winters and hard times stay away the better the
most of us Will be pleased. But the better we are prepared for
such contingencies the better will it be for everybody. Like severe
winters and hard times, pay day is sure to come. Every chain
whether of weather or business conditions or personal affairs has its
weakest link and. well off is the party prepared for such. an. exacting
contingency.
But that is not all, summer is bound to come. And in these
summers there are bound to be fine seasons that will mean fields
filled with waving grain, And these summers have their autumns
with the best of prices and prosperity that fills our lives with de
light.
Just now we are having the weakest link of our system severe
ly tested. Our duty, meanwhile, is adjustment coupled with hard
work and patience. When we used to be using the chain we
were careful to use the grab hook in such a way that the weakest
link was spared severe strain. The same principle works for sev
ere wintres, for trying business conditions and for personal credit.
When some one with a gift for eharacjterization tells of this present
day, ho will speak of this as the chaotic period. Well, so It is.
Here are two lins that we believe written for just such a time as
“Courage, brother, do not stumble though thy path be dark as night;
There’s a star to guide the humble—Trust in God and do the right.”

IRISH APPLE MARKET
The prospects of shipping Cana
dian apples to the Irish Free State
this year, states the Canadian Trade
Commissioner, are not so good as
they were, chiefly because of the
recent imposition of an import duty
of one penny per pound (or roughly
25 per cent, ad valorem) and the
intensive Government efforts to en
courage domestic production. Never
theless, there is likely to be a fair
market for Canadian edible apples,
which are well-known and popular
in the Free State, as elsewhere.
