NATURE'S PURPOSE WITH US IS TO SEE IF
WE ARE AFRAID
There Is no doubt there Is such a thing as a run of luck. To say there Is no such ttiing, and that It only seems so, is to forget the fact ttwt all there is real in the world, to me, is what Seems real to me.
Bvery whlst-player knows that he can get hand after hand of low cards during an evening, as though some imp of darkness were stiUtlng all the high cards to his oppo¬ nents. To try and break the spell he win get up and walk around his chair, or Call for a new deck.
There are the proverbs, "It never rains but it pours," and, "Misfortunes never come sing¬ ly'; and of these we find equivalente in all languages. The thing Indicated must be therefore a universal exper- tenoe.
When we apply our reason to this problem «e aay at once that it means nothing, that it te mere cotneldenoe, and that the objective phenomenon to probably subjective, a mat- tor ot our nood.
And StiU, tn spite of aU our reason, we flnd the beUef ia it perslste: one of those shame, faced haU-beliefs, half-super¬ stitions, that lurk in the dark comers of the brain.
I am not going to solve the mystery, because I canpot, which to a moat excellcul reason. But I wish to sug¬ gest one thing.
When luck to running against us, that to the time tu play the man. When th? un¬ seen powers seem to be hand ing us cUp and tweak a.it! • blow, that to the time to pluck up our courage, cinch up our belt, smile, and be unafraid.
Por my theory of Nature's purpose to rather fanciful, I fear. It to that she is Intent on trying us by every con¬ ceivable method, to see if we are afraid. And wben a man simply will not get scared, at danger plain or spooky, she gives tip trying, and hands ower to bim the keys of tbe Kingdom.

The cemetery was laid out in 1763. During this time many homes were also built In the conununity. Many people trom Nazareth, Chrts¬ tian Springs and Onadenthal were present for the dedication of tbe church and to see the new settte- ment. The congregation ftourUhed and more families settled near the church so that a vUlage was soon mtabltohed.
In less than 30 years the com¬ munity telt keenly the need ot a larger building for worship, and at the congregational festival on Oct. 3, 1792 the necessity was eagerly discussed. Stones and timber trere gathered during the winter of 1792

The Interesting statement sub¬ mitted to the Uons Club at their "school" meeting last week seems to indicate that real constructive economy has been practiced in the management of our local schooto durtng the past several years In an effort to meet the requirementa of the new conditions.
As early as 1931, the ichool board began a searching Inquiry Into all items of admintotrative, InstmcUon- al, operative and maintenance costs, from which resulted a deflnite pro¬ gram of economy.
One of the flrst major results of that program was the elimination of one grade teacher last February. This was accomplished by distribut¬ ing the pupils of one primary room among the other teachers. The position thus vacated has not been restored.
Another result of this program was the determination to close Con¬ tinuation school this year, if at all possible. Thto has been accomplish¬ ed and the more readily l>ecause of the N. R. A. regulations relative to the employment of minors below 16 years ol age.
A third major result has been the revision of the high school program of studies and the consequent elim¬ ination of one high school teacher.
The teaching staff was reduced by one teacher in spite of the fact that the high school enrollment increased thto year by 40 pupils. Since this increase would normaUy have meant the addition of another teacher it may fairly be said that the high school teaching staff was reduced by two teachers.
The board's program is one of real, yet coiutructlve economy.
It has not ruthlessly eliminated any necessary or desirable item of legitimate expenditure. It has not tfied to save money by ellmlnatmg mainteiuince as has been done In so many districts with the result that bulldlitgs and equipment have suf¬ fered severe and permanent depre¬ ciation. Our buildings and equip¬ ment are in as good condition today as they have ever been.
It has not eliminated any service nor has it denied to the children of our communitv any privilege or opportunity which they have hither¬ to enjoyed.
Yet it has been eflective in re¬ ducing costs all along the Une and in a subsequent reduction of the tax rate. The foUowlng facts sub¬ mitted in the statement wiU indi¬ cate what has really been accom¬ plished to date in this effort to ef feet savings.
Sunday morning, October Ist, at 10:30 s. m. St.. John's Lutheran Church win observe Old Folks Oay. In accordance with the custom for this service little girls wlU serve aa ushers. A white camatloa Will be given to every worshiper who haa atUlned the age of three score years and ten or more. Special musie wiU be rendered by tbe senior choir and the Pastor will deliver a mtaaafs appropriate to the occasion. At tbe conclusion of the servioe a bouquet, WiU tie presented to the oldest mem¬ ber and visitor tn attendance.
The following committees will serve: Flower committee: Klsaes Myra Druckeiunllfer and Heten Roth. Charles Decorating committee: Mr. aad Mrs. Prank Huth, Mr. and Mra.
