He/ then ' emphasized three things that! must characterize every one who is a christian. “‘A Christian is a person who exerts his influence for Christ. This means that he uses his influence actively for the church and for everything that is for Christ, and actively opposes everything that is evil 'whether ‘in the church, honie or city. .Again a Christfn,” without exception, has a| concern for those who are unsaved.” This conglusion he drew from Scrip- ture. “A’ Christian must thave the spirit of Christ, ‘and- Christ ‘tame to aeek and to'save .that which was lost. Because of this fact every be- liever must suppért soul-winning work, dnd the 'Christians of Bemidjl regardless of church affiliation must put forth-their utmost endeavors to forward this campaign and any oth: erg that may follow this meeting. A Christian also possesses the.assurance of his salvation, and ‘“knows” that le is saved.” Mr. Aldrich will preach this even- ing at 8 o’clock -from the theme, ‘‘Five Steps.” This is ome of his strongest ‘messages and it is urged that there be a large attendance: AVIATOR LOST FOR SIX DAYS IN MESQUITE BRUSH| (By United Press) San Antonio, Texas, Feb. 17 Lost in, the mountains and wildergess of mesquite. brush in southwest Texas for:six: days, elghty;hours of which he had heen without food, Lieyt.

Gambling wns = frowned upon throughout Europe during this pe- riod; but the blue laws' did not seem to make much of an impression. It is to be also noted that a prohibition movement was alive in that perfod. Reformers were engaged at various times in efforts to stop drinking at taverns. In a little eity in France the. dry ‘wave did not gain much head- way, as+the leaders turned to the al- ‘ternative of reducing, or trylng to re- diice, drinking to a minimum on Sat- ‘urday afternoons so that worshipers might attend evening services with full possession of their faculties. House With Straw Walls. A house with walls made of com- pressed straw has been erected in ‘Pakis. The framework of the building 13 of wood and the sides are filled in with' blocks of ‘tightly compressed straw, which are stated to be as hard ag eoncrete and just as inflammable. Owing to the lightvess of the mate- rials only small foundations are need- ed. and a house of this kind can be built in a month, - The jdea of using straw in. this way is attributed to a French textile engineer.
