DON’T THROW AWAY
YOUR CITIZENSHIP—
good citizen’s are going to lose
A one lot of of the our most
cherished possession’s of a
free citizenry by failing to register, in time 10
vote at the primaries to be held on May 20.
It is an old saying that we never miss a thing
until it is either taken away from us or lose it
through our own carelessness. Don’t let either
happen to you! Did we say carelessness? Yes,
we mean just that. How easy it is to put off reg
istering until we find the closing date passed
and that we have lost the privilege to vote. Sup
pose that you were a citizen of most any Europ
ean country, Germany for instance, when on
April 10 the ‘citizens’ of that country will be ask
ed to vote on the Austrian ‘plebescite’.
If that vote is conducted along the same lines
as the first one after Hitler ascended to the role
of dictator for Germany, there will not be much
choice on the manner in which the electorate
must vote. Their ‘ballot’ will have just one col
umn to vote in, and that column will contain the
word YES. No alternative, and if they fail to
vote, star chamber sessions will be in vogue, un
til the ‘purge’ will have had the necessary effect
of eliminating those that do not believe in that
form of voting.
How different we in the United States are
governed by our election law s! Any one can tell
us how to vote, but after we enter that voting
booth we carry as much power as anyone in the
country. And after we have cast our vote there
is not a single person that has the legal power
nor right to question how we voted on any issue.
And, peculiar to the American citizen, it is usual
ly the fellow that does not vote that has the most
to say and criticize. This type of citizens always
accuses those in office of running things to suit
themselves. Our contention is that if a person
fails to vote, he deserves exactly what he gets in
the form of government. If enough people took
the time and interest, to make our voting one
hundred per cent, what a different attitude poli
ticians would take toward ‘the great common
peepul’.
,
This year ,and especially in this county, elig
ible voters must register Nt)W, and then get out
at the primaries in May a n d vote. DON’T
THROW AWAY YOUR CITIZENSHIP! You
may register at the office of the registrar, in
Nyssa, at the Nyssa Realty company.

“The Greatest Text in the Bible,”.
“For God so loved the world, th at He
gava His only begotton Son. that
whosovere believeth In Him should
not perish, but have everlasting
life." John 3-16.
Why do so many people think this
Is the greatest text In the Bible?
There are other wonderful texts that
dwell on the love of God, that show
ohw men are delivered from judg
ment. that tell us how we may ob
tain everlasting life, but no other
verse gives us all these truths so
clearly and distinctly. It is this
verse that is used by the mission
aries to give a synopsis of the gos
pel to the heathen.
There are many great truths
wrapped up in this verse In the first
place there Is the personality of God.
"God so loved." A God who can love
is a person, a person with a warm,
loving heart.
A Chinese translation says, “Ood
so passionately loved the world, that
He gave." It was a divine paslson. a
heart In heaven throbbing In loving
sympathy with men in all their
trials and difficulties here on earth.
Then there is the truth of the di
vine Father-hood If Ood gave His
Son. God himself Is a father and has
the heart of one.
Then again there Is the lost con
dition of mankind. God gave His
well beloved Son. “that whosoever
believeth In Him should not perish,
but have everlasting life." An un
saved man Is lost, and is in grave
danger of being so utterly lost that
he may be banished from the pres
ence of this God of love forever, and
yet He it Is Who has provided a
means whereby those lost may re
turn to Him.
It Is the simple act of believing In
His Son with the whole heart that
saves the lost one.
The universality of the offer of
mercy Is also here. It Is a whosoever

number to be saved but of any and
all who will believe In His Son.
The question might be raised,
whom does God love? My friends let
me say It Is not th at God Is waiting
for us to be good so He can love us;
God loves sinners, and has proven
His love for them by the gift of His
Son, the Lodr Jesus Christ. 1 John
4:10.
God has no message for those who
are trying to Justify themselves, but
If we come Into His presence and
confess ourselves lost, and guilty
sinners. He has a message and bless
ing for us. A message of sins for
given and the inheritance of eternal
life.
