I .............................iiiiiiiiimuiiiiMmiiiliiiuMimi.uiiiliiliu During the last four years $95,000,- advisory capacity in furthering the'ooo },as been spent in advertising the program designed to assist Greene liquor business County's dependent children and needy blind. Members o f the Board, a bi-partisan group, do not receive pay for serv­ ing as board members and have been helpful in determining policies and procedures which would help re­ cipients o f the two programs and at the same time serve the best inter­ ests o f Greene County. In July o f 1936 when the current dependent children’s program and the plan fo r the needy blind were placed in operation in Greene County, wise planning was necessary to build strong foundations for these pro­ grams so they would best serve those for whom they were intended. Shortly after the programs fo r de­ pendent children and the blind were started, the Greene County Board of Public Assistance was formed. Under the public assistance setup in Ohio on every county board is the juvenile judge who is the administrator o f the dependent children’s program, a mem­ ber o f the board o f county commis­ sioners which administers the blind program, and at least two lay persons interested in the welfare o f the county. Not only does the Board o f Public Assistance aid • in interpreting to the community the workings o f the So­ cial Security programs for dependent children and the blind ,but it also brings to county officials in charge of •the program the desires and thinking o f the community relative to the pro­ grams. A t present, those serving on the County Board include; Juvenile Judge Homer H. Henrie, County Commis sioner C. j f . Jacobs, Mrs. Helen Van Pelt, Mr. David E. Bradfute, Reverend H. B. McElree and Mrs. James Haw­ kins. - •The wishes o f the community are very-important in a welfare program such as this. By knowing, what the needs and resources of the community are, it is much easier to shape policies arid procedures which will meet the needs o f the community and yet con­ form to the, federal and state regula­ tions o f the Social Security Act. In otto* words, the board assists in a dapting the program t o make it most effective in Greene County. During the past year, the Greene Cdunty Board o f Public Assistance ha# rendered the county great, service bringing together the health, educa­ tion and welfare . resources o f the community in helping the under' privileged. There' is no doubt in the minds of The Journal o f the National Educa­ tion Association says that "Period­ icals which carry liquor or tobacco advertising have no proper place in any public library. There are now plenty of excellent periodicals which do not carry such advertising.” "Drys gain support” reads the lead­ ing headline in the October 15 issue o f Beverage Industry News, liquor paper published in San Francisco, followed by a story describing “ a per­ fectly functioning nationwide organ­ ization lending financial and moral support to a concerted campaign to again dry up the nation.■'—National Voice. “When we become thoroughtly con­ vinced o f the spiritual nature o f the temperance movement, i.t will become a twenty-four hours a day interest."

CARD OF THANKS We wish to thank the friends and neighbors for their kindness to us during the illness and death o f our father, Jefferson Buckner, and to The Nagley Bros., for their efficient service. JOHN BUCKNER, REBECCA SPENCER. "What think ye o f Christ?” This question, which was asked by Jesus Himself (Matt, 22: 42), is the touchstone that tries men, and churches, organizations, and move­ ments. The answer to it determines character, condition, and destiny. As we study the life o f Peter and see how he responded to the ques­ tion of Jesus, let us not fail to apply the truth to ourselves and to those to whom we minister. This is indeed I. A Crucial Question (w , 13-16). With His crucifixion now only six months away our Lord in prepara­ tion for it is about to make a more definite claim to Messlahship, and thus to establish the truth in the minds of His disciples. He there­ fore asks this all-important ques­ tion about Himself. First, it is a general query, “ Whom do men say that I am ?" The answer (v. 14) indicates that the common opinion concerning Christ was a very high one. He had made an impression on the people of His time, and this has been true down through the ages. Even those who do not believe on Him admit that Jle was "the ideal representative and guide to hu­ manity," or the person before whom ‘.‘everyone would kneel,” But beau­ tiful tributes to Ifis character and leadership are worse than mean­ ingless unless they lead to a per­ sonal confession o f Hint as Lcrd and Saviour. The question become* personal as He asks, "Whom do ye say that I am ?” That question no on# can es­ cape, We cannot refuse to.answer. Neutrality i# imjxissibtew Whatever we da or stay, or do not do or say. is a decision, Peter** answer is really the sum arid subeutncc #f Christian doctrine. , He recofolzeid Him as the Messiah, the fulfillment of rill Hebrew prophe­ cy, -and as the Ben o f the laving God, the Redeemer and Savter of met*, the One in whom «*®ior# all Christian faith* ' ’ II- A Bfria* RevelaHas t*v, !?> m . ■ •; Peter had-been ready to fee taught by the Holy Spirit, and therefore made a eottfesato o f Christ which was not.eonfeeived in the masd of « man i«tt was a conviction bom of the Spirit of God (cfc I Cor. 181 Upon Prittriit eerifosstab which was thus really a divine p*yei*tk*t o f the person and work- o f Christ, . the Church it established, Christ ilisu e tl bring the chief .potneritos* (I Pet, 2;T) ifrith Peter himseU ** one o f the sposHrit built into its very ■foundation, <Eph, 2dKt)». . Note that Christ calls it ’*my church," U Is Hit Body, and He as the Head rules over ii, The gates of Hade*, that is, the wicked powv era o f the unseen world, while they, now seemingly have great power against the Church, shall not ulti­ mately prevail, We have a victori­ ous’ Christ.' The giving of the keys, and the authority to bind or loot* have been variously interpreted. It would room to be clear, however, that this was not intended to be any personal power to fee swed by Peter, and quite evidently r.ot to be transferred by him to others. It Was rather the authority to admit men into the kingdom of God as they fulfill. .His provisions for entrance, and to de­ clare that those who do not enter by way pf Christ must be forever barred from its sacred precincts. III. TI m Skadaw at tha Cross (vv, 21-25). The cross of Christ Casts its shad­ ow over the little group as Jesus begins to show to His disciples (v. 21} what He is to suffer as the Saviour of the world. The city of Jerusalem exalted to heaven by ita opportunities and privileges is to be the place where He is to be nailed to the tree. "Where roses ought to bloom, sin has often plant­ ed thorns." Peter in an outburst of affectionate folly tries to hinder Christ from going to the cross, and becomes for the moment the serv­ ant of Satan. He "meant well,” but it is not enough to have good Intentions. The cross of Christ calls for the cross of the Christian (v. 24). Note well that this does not refer to little acts of so-called "self-denial,” but rather to the denial of self. It means that self-will is set aside and God’s will becomes paramount in the life V. 24). It means the abandon­ ment of selfish motives and desires, the losing of life for Christ’s sake. Thus only do we find the real ful­ fillment of life (v. 25). For God to Dcdide There are those who say, and that continually, that life is too short. That depends. What are you doing with it? For some things it is; for others it is not. In any case, it is not for us to make any declaration on that point, God knows whether it is, or is not, too short. And it is safe to leave that matter with him, —Christian Conservator, FOB RENT Seven room house on North Main street, modern. Phone 174-F2, C. W, Mott, Jamestown, 0.
