Text: "Go ye into all the world,
and preach the gospel to every creat-
ure. He that believeth and is baptiz-
ed shall be saved; but.he that believ-
eth not shall be damned." Mark 16:-
15, 16.
My text is among the last words of
Jesus, just before his ascension. It
is known as the Last Commission—a
command to preach the gospel to ev-
ery nation, to every man.
Jesus had just tasted death for ev-
ery man, a fact fraught with eternal
issues. The world was living in wick-
edness under the power and dominion
of sin. Jesus came to "seek and to
wave that which was lost," to "break
the power of cancelled sin and set the
prisoner free." But the mere fact of
the atoning work of Jesus did not
open the prison doors and let the
prisoners walk out. It was necessa-
ry to carry them word and let them
know that a pardon had been granted
to every man, provided he would ac-
cept it, walk out and do right. By so
doing they would become citizens of
a new kingdom—the kingdom of God.
But it means a great deal to accept
a pardon, como out of the prison of
sin and become a citizen of the king
dom of God. So Jesus gives this Last
Commission to his disciples and their
successors in office to go tell every
man in the world, or that would ever
be in the world. That is what it
means to "preach the gospel to every
creature." The gospel is good news
—the good news of salvation. It is
an offer made to all who are in the
prison house of sin, that it is their
privilege to come out and be free cit-
izens, free from sin. But there is
such a fascination about sin, especi-
ally for some people, that Jesus knew
that some of them would prefer to
remain in Satan's prison and be "led
captive by Satan at his will," rather
than come out into the "liberty of the
children of God." So Jesus said to
his disciples, the preachers, "Go tell
every creature." But he also said,
"He that believeth and is baptized
shall be saved; but he that believeth
not shall be damned." Go preach and
explain this great proposition; tell
them how bad it is to continue in sin,
and how terrible and wicked it is to
refuse the offer of eternal salvation.
Tell them that if they choose to stay
in prison, live in prison, that they
shall be damned, lost; but that those
who accept and turn away from sin,
and put on the badge of discipleship,
heart, the new love and the new life.
Also the doctrine of the witness of
the spirit and of 'baptism. Surely,
we should "search the scriptures"
with great care and come to the beyt
possible knovvedge of the truth. p;s-
pecially should we give due attention
to the promise of the new heart and
There is enough money in Saint Jo
to serve the commercial needs of our

passed from one citizen to another,
there is enough to make all of our
people prosperous.
Every time a dollar kisses this com
munity goodbye it goes to help the
prosperity of other sections. While

If the people of this town will only
make up their minds to be loyal to

will mean a greater future for us all.

Saint Jo is soon to have a complete
system of sewe.age. The oil business
is pic king up, and more than likely
we will have a modern hotel in a
short while. But whether we get
the hotel right away or not, if Saint
Jo doesn't open up a good load to the
oil field in a short time she will be
sleeping on her rights and letting her
opportunities slip by without im-
proving them.

Christian baptism, they shall be
saved. For many centuries there has
been a difference of opinion among
wise and" Rood men as to how Christ-
ian baptism should be administered.
Some think immersion in water is
the right way, based upon the state-
ment that John baptized in Jordan
and some other passages that suggest
that maybe immersion was practiced.
Others go back into* the Old Testa-
ment and think they find the mode.
Isaiah says, chapter 52:15, speaking
of Christ, "So shall he sprinkle many
nations." When Christ gave the com-
mission he said baptize the nations,
"Go ye therefore and teach all na-
tions, baptizing them." It would
seem reasonable to immerse, but as
the prophet said "sprinkle," it seems
reasonable to "spi inkle." Again,
Ezekicl says in chapter 36:25, 27,
"Then will I sprinkle clean water
upon you and you shall be clean. *
* a new heart also will I give you *
* and I will put my spirit within
you." Here seems to be pointed out
in prophecy the great and important
doctrine of regeneration—the new
the Holy Spirit. Not only should we
believe the promises, but we must re-
ceive them. Jesus said, "Ye must be
born again." This is receiving the
new heart. "The spirit itself bear-
eth wtness with our so'.rit that we
are the children of God." Rom. 8:16.
So those who come out of Satan's
prison and are "born again," and re-
ceive the Holy Spit it, the.i Mioy
should aei eive baptism in the way
that th'iy think to be right, and in a
way that satisfies the conscet'c.?. Af-
terwaid they should recognize them-
selves as citizens of the kingdom of
God, and then lay themselves out as
servants of God for the advancement
and enlargement of the kingdom.
This is the missionary spirit, and the
work of the church is to "preach the
gospel to every creature." All are
not called to preach,but all are com-
manded to serve in one way or an-
other. And every saved man or wo-
man ought to be glad to help bring
the gospel to all who are still un-
saved. Just as we are anxious to
help relieve physical suffering, so we
should be much more anxious to help
in the great work of winning souls
to Christ, that he might restore them,
not merely to physical health and
comfoi-t, but to physical purity and
to everlasting life. Common sinners
help to relieve suffering. Surely
Christians should help to relieve im-
mortal souls of the distress that sin
has brought to us all.
Preach the gospel to every creat-
ure. Give them a chance in China, in
India, in Africa, in every part of the
world, and through all the ages to
the end of time.

HARD KNOCKS AND LOVE •
LICKS.
A young country lad is setting a
fine example for less thoughtful and
ambtious boys. He gets up at 5
o'clock every morning, milks the cows
and does other work about the home
till time to rush six miles to town to
High School. Then he leads his
classes, making the very best grades.
In the afternoon he rushes home,
milks the cows and works about the
home, helps the little children till 9
o'clock, then studies his lessons till
midnight, if necessary, till he learns
them well.
This working, ambitious studious
young man lost his father by death
a ytar o two ago, but he is determin-
ed i' get an education. O.hcr boys
with living fathers, and who live ni ar
i school and have no cows to milk,
jet i'ail to make grades v.ith ihat he-
roic country chap. If I were a city
dude or a jelly bean or a flapper,
yet in high school, I would be asham-
ed to allow any country boy or girl
to beat me in my grades or to carry
off the honors.
But it has been reported that some
high school students can't make the
grades. They are said to be "dumb."
They are like the little boy said about
a young preacher who made a very
poor 0ut preaching one day. The lit-
tle boy said to him: "You couldn't
tell it," and the preacher said to the
boy, "Why couldn't I tell it?" The
little fellow said to him, "Because
you didn't know it." Yes, they
"flunk" because they don't know it.
They would rather play football or
baseball than to learn books.
It is also reported that some school
children, even High School students,
are lazy. Presumably they neither
work noi play nor study to do any
:rood. They would like to get by with
their studies, and they sometimes ask
a classmate to "show me how to do
this," and sometimes they even beg
for "copy." Such students may get
out of work at home, and may warm
a bench at school, but they can never
get anywhere in the professional or
business world. They must just be
hewers of wood and drawers of water,
just doing what somebody else tells
them to do.
' to blame for the indifference of their
I children in school. They know so
' little themselves that they fail to in-
| spire their children to learn. In other
I cases the children are furnished too
much money and they seem never to
get an idea that a preparation is nec-
essary for the great duties of life in
the business world or elsewhere.
Hence they must waste their oppor-
tunty.
f>—
Other reports indicate that a large
percentage of children and young
people in the public schools, colleges
and universities are doing fine work.
This is emphatically an age of
schools, libraries, learning, scholar-
ship and culture. It is already in ad-
vance of any former age, and there
I are indications that the future holds
out hope for more general education
among the masses. Education is on
the increase. So is crime, lawless-
ness and bootlegging. Education does
i cuse the^e evils, but education
of the criminal element prepares
;.hfm for shrewd work in the realm
of crime.
—o—
The courts and the churches must
take care of the criminal element. If
schools and young people's societies
fail to impress the young criminals
with the importance of going straight,
then the sheriffs and police officers
will just have to run them down and
bring them into court. There they
should be made to take their medi-
cine, as a last resort for the protec-
tion of society.

NEW DISCOVERY
PRAISED HIGHLY.
Stops Pain in Five Minutes—Abso
lutely Harmless.
After thorough tests on thousands
of severe types of pain, a recent med-
ical jorunal states: "The new pre-
scription A-Vol is indeed a blessing
to those who suffer from pain, it is
absolutely harmless, safe for anyone
to take, as it does not contain aspirin,
acetanilid or any heart depressants
whatsoever."
If you suffer from severe throb-
bing, bursting, nervous, sick head-
aches, have neuralgia, torturing neu-
ritis, rheumatism of joints or mus
cles, toothache or earache, you should
at once get a tube of 12 A-Vol tablets
at your druggists, the 25c size. Take
two tablets at once and if you are not
relieved of pain five minutes, your
druggist will refund your money.
A-Vol is truly wonderful. It will
check the worst cold very quickly.
You owe it to yourself to try this re-
markable new discovery. Just ask
for A-Vol, the new prescription for
pain. You will be delighted.

The following is taken from a bul-
letin sent out by the Agricultural
Experiment Station at College Sta-
tion, Texas, on October 9, 1928:
Peanuts had not been an important
commercial crop in Texas until the
war-time demand for vegetable oils
brought the crop into prominence and
in 1918 a peak of 7,117,000 bushels
was reported, which declined in 1926
to 1,644,833 bushels. The principal
demand at present is for the shelled
peanuts, which are used in the pro-
duction of peanut butter, confections,
and for roasting.
Approved methods of planting, cul-
tivating, harvesting, and curing pea-
nuts are discussed in Buletin No. 381
of the Texas Agricultural Experi-
ment Station. Experiments at Bee-
ville and Lubbock indicate that close
planting from three to six inches in
the row, will produce larger yields of
both forage and nuts than when a
greater distance is given between
plants in the row.
The culture of peanuts is adapted
to the sandy soils of the state, and
fits well into a crop rotation. Pea-
nuts produce forage comparable with
the clovers as a feed for dairy cattle.
Peanuts also make good feed for
hogs, but when the nuts are not prop-
erly fed, either whole or as a meal,
they frequently produce a condition
known as soft pork, which is penal-
ized by the packing trade.
There is practically no difference
in the yields of peanuts, when plant-
ed in the hull, or where the hull is
broken or cracked. Peanuts produce
higher yields of forage when plant-
ed in thirty-six inch rows, but higher
yields of nuts are obtained when
planted in eighteen-inch rows.
The Macspan peanut, a selection
by the Texas Agricultural Experi-
met Station from the little Spanish
variety, matures earlier, is more pro-
ductive and uniform, and' the kernels
probably contain a higher percent-
age of oil than the common Spanish
peanut.

Some Stuff.
They tell a story about a tiny ant i
who gazed longingly but helplessly
at the body of a dead horse. Just
then a bootlegger's truck rattled by
and a case of stuff fell over the tail
gate and crashed to the ground. A
puddle formed and the ant took one
sip. Then he seized the dead horse
by the tail and shouted: "Come on,
big boy, we're going home."
