Mrs. Walter Linn Receives Initiatory LET’S BE SOCIABLE Club Heais Review Of De Kruif Book Mrs. W. G. Heath was hostess to lpembers of the Vernonia Study Club for their regular meeting January 18th. Attend ance was small as several members were ill. Mrs. Ralph Valpiani was in charge of the program and gave an interesting review of the book “Kaiser Wakes the Doctors” l^v Paul De Kruif. Dr. De Kruif, former bacter iology at the "University of Michigan and at Rockefeller In stitute, now spends much of his time 1 eporting science’s dramatic struggle for a healthier mankind. The book, written in De Kruif’s dynamic style, tells of the medical plan in effect at Kaiser shipyards. The set-up at Kaiser’s Richmond, California yard is de scribed as a “model of disease fighting efficiency and promise” and is called“tomorrow’s health Hit a new High Footwear conserva tion makes it impera tive to get the utmost from every pair of shoes. Make those up pers go “over the top” with a double-the-wear LINES’ repair job. LINES’ SHOE SHOP MAIL ORDERS GIVEN PROMPT ATTENTION today”. The highly controversial question of medical insurance for all the people is handled in a very decisive fashion. During the business meeting it was voted to contribute to the March of Dimes and to sponsor a Campfire group of which Mrs. Heath is guardian. Preliminary plans for the forthcoming Red Cross drive were made with the civic committee to be in charge. The next meeting will be at the home of Mrs. Valpiani with Mrs. Fred Tousley in charge of the program.

There was a bit of annoyance at the Rocking W the other night, but it taught us some thing. Odd, isn’t it, that most of us learn our most important lessons from our trouoles rather than from our pleasures? We were expecting a week-end guest from the Big City on the nine o'clock bus, and were filled with pleasant anticipation. Then I went out to start the car. It wouldn’t start. I tried and tried, first prayerfully, and then “cuss- fully”. The Big Boss came out, his face covered with lather, to show me how. It still wouldn’t start. The lather dried on his face and he began going slight- lp berserk. That didn't start the car, either. Our flashlight was dead, so I tried to hold a desk lamn in such a manner that he could see to operate on the car’s internal organs. The desk lamp developed a short that blew out the big thingamajig in the whoosit, and there we were in the dark—ex cept for the lurid flashes when the Big Boss voiced his opinions of everything in general from ca-s that wouldn’t start to wives who neglected to refill flash lights. It came to nine o’clock, but at least the phone was still work ing and our guest was told that we would rescue her from the bus station someway, even if we had to hitch up Dickie and Queen to the farm wagon. Then we thought of our neighbor, and the Daughter - of - the - House grabbed her courage with both hands and rushed over to ask h:m if he would help us out. He did, and what is more, he did it with a smile—and a darn nice one, too, so she says. If you think that isn’t something, just you have somebody barge in on you on a rainy night at nine- thirty when you are comfortably sitting by the fire after •> herd day’s work and ask you to start un your car and drive twelv'" miles through the rain. So our neighbor brought our guest out. Meanwhile, I hunted up candles, dug an old coal-oil lamp out of the fruit house, gave its glass chimney a “spit and polish” and we spent a very pleasant evening after all the uproar had died down. What a lot of things in this world we take for granted and never appreciate until we lose them. Electricity, for instance. We push a button and the room is flooded with cheery light. We think nothing of it.It’s there, a part of our daily lives, and we never give a thought to the wonder of it, nor to the dif- MAN—HERE AND HEREAFTER WHAT HAPPENS AT DEATH? Part 4 God proposed to test man in order that he might first mani fest volutarily whether or not he would obey God and serve him. For this reason God said, “Of every tree in the garden thou mayest freely eat: but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.” Genesis 2:16,17. This shows that God made man a being that could die. ‘“Phou shalt surely die,” He said in warning against disobedience. Therefore, the only way by which death could be avoided by man was by disobedience to his Creator, by shunning sin. “The scul that sinneth, it shall die.” Ezekiel lg:4,20. Who is the author of the doctrine of the immortality of the scul? “The serpent said unto the woman, ye shall not surely ference it makes in our ex istence. It is the same with neighbors. You see them, exchange small talk and laughter, and go your separate ways, until a moment of need arises, then you understand how necessary neghbors are in the scheme of life; how much an integral part of our living they really are. There are other things, too, that we use without thought of their value to us: the right we *-ave in this country to say what we feel and think, the right to order our own lives, to do the work we want to do, to express our own individual desires. We have accepted all these privileges as a matter of course. Have we ever thought what life would be like if they were taken from us? We not only have failed to ap preciate them, but we have so often abused them. Maybe it wouldn’t be a bad idea if wo began to “count our blessings” and learn to appreciate them at their full value, and be willing to fight and work for them, even to give them up for the time being in order to secure them for the futur'1 If we don’t it is entirely possible that some body may blow a fuse plug and plunge us all into darkness. It’s worth thinking about. Wallpaper I i INCLUDING BORDER AND PASTE COMPLETE FOR AVERAGE ROOM Nothing Else to Buy!

That liar (John 8:44) was none other than "that old serpept, called the Devil and Satan, which deceiv- eth the whole world.” Revela tion 12:9 Paul predicted that “doctrines of devils” would be accepted among some professing the faith, and the doctrines of the immortality of the soul is one of them. (1 Timothy 4:1) Our first parents believed the lie propounded by Satan and they sinned. When God said that man disbelieved His word and disobiyed Him, He took special care that he should not exist upon this earth an immortal sin ner. God said, “And now, let he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live forever: therefore the Lord God sent him forth from the Garden of Eden . . .So he drove out the man; and He placed at the east of the Gar den of Eden cherubim, and a fiaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.” Genesis 3:22- 24. With access to the tree of life thus cut off, man left the Gar den of Eden as a mortal sinner. But even then God did not leave him hopeless.
