THOMAS BRUCE TO BE NEW NIGHT BUSINESS MEN AND COUNCIL UN- AM0U8LY IN FAVOR OF LATK APPLICANT FOR NIGHT WATCHMAN HERE. Thomas Bruce of Main street, waa appointed to serve aa the night watchman here to All the vacancy made by tho realgnitlon of Wm. Colburn by the village council Tuesday night. ' Mr. Bruce was recommended by the Business Men's Association at a meeting held last Prlday night. He took office Wedneaday after being sworn In by a notary public. The night watchman will afford the only ptfllce protection for Amherst, as Marshal, Wm. Miller has been temporarily discharged, owing to the financial condition of the village. This discharge, however, includes only the police .duty which was paid for by the village. As marshal, Miller was elected and will still serve ln the capacity of marshal until his term expires or he resigns. The business men, ln endorsing Mr. Bruce feel that they have reccomend- ed a capable man for the position and; the council in apolntlng him, likewise feel the same. "DOES THE OLD TESTAMENT TEACH WAR?" (Second sermon In series on "Jesus and the Next War" by Harold H. Hester, pastor Brownhelm Congregratlonal Church.) ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION TO ' HAVE BENEFIT SHOW. The high school athletic association have made arangements for a benefit show which will be given at the Empire Theater on December 5 and 6. The proceeds of the show will go to- wnrds defraying the expenses of the organization. A special feature and a good comedy has been secured for the occasion nnd tle*!;i*ts have already been put on sale. "This is an evil generation: It aeeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it but the sign of Jonah" Lk. 11:29. (Read Jonah 1, 3. and 4, and Luke 11:29-30, 32.) The people of America together with this congregation and its pastor are being called, not to have their fancies tickled, but before God and one another to look facts ln the face, to think, and to pray, "O Ood, what wilt Thou have me to do?" We ask today. Way did Jesus take the attitude ot non-resistance, of re- < fussl to use the sword ? What is tbere in our Testament, the scriptures Jesus had. to warrant the conviction that underlies his command, "Put up thy sword; my servants do not flght?" ''And they utterly destroyed all that was ln the city, both man and woman, young and old, and ox, and sheep, and ass, with the edge of the sword." "And he brought forth the people that were therein, and cut them with saws, and with harrows of iron, and with axes. And thus he did unto all the cities." "Blessed Is he that taketh thy little one and dasheth them agalns the rock." That sounds like a fitting description to events of terrorism in our Great War. We are wont to call It German terrorism, Hunnlsh atrocity. Is if mere words are proof. Jesus To mention it Is recoil at the thought. But these words were spoken neither of German atrocltle nor Allied reprisals. They describe the terrible acts of a certain captain Joshua and king David. They are found ln the Old Testament of your Bibles (Jos. 6:21; a Sam. 12:31; Ps. 137:9). Think of It! Not a innocent babe, not an aged grandmother, not a dumb beast will Joshua spare. And David, cruel David has no pity, but compells all Ammonite captives to be streched out on the ground, and drives over them Iron harrows, and saws them asunder with saws, and chops them in pieces with axes, men, women, and Uttle children. And a poet of the exile, with such examples before him, and feeling Indeed the persecution ot enemies ubout him, crys out that God calls the man blessed who dashes out the brains of little children. And the record suys that such acts were evidence that God was •with sudj men as Joshua und David. Noy then- Jesua hil1-* a" lhla before hlm. Here was sanction surely for hlm to lead u nurmy against u cruel oppressor. And here, men suy in thia duy, is sanction for all tlJ^ cruel ucts of war; God commanded such cruel acts In the paat; he is tlte same yesterday, today, and forever; therefore flght to the death und Blay your enemies Oh, oue can prove anything by the Bible, us Professor Luckey of Houghton Seminary used to say lo us. You cun prove by the Bible that slavery Is right; that it is wrong for women to vote, or even to speak ln public; that polygamy is right; that the saloon Is a good thing; and you can prove that war Is of God—that Is It were words are proof. Why then was Jesus so different? Why would he not go to war? Alt, my friends, Jesus found something else ln the Old Testament; he found something better; and he knew In his heart, as we know in our hearts, that God wants - every man to follow that which is bast, even that which Is best ln the Bible. Jesus found a place in Isaiah where It wss written, "The spirit of the Lord ts upon me, because hs hath anointed MEETS IN ELYRIA WILL HAVE PERMANENT BODY. OFFICER8 ELECTED FOR ENSUING YEAR Representatives of Lorain county churches met in Blyrla Tuesday and voted In favor of forming a permanent county council of churches.

The locals are ready to play the game under nny and ull circumstances NEW RATE TO CONSUMER GOES INTO EFFECT THIS MONTH BUT COUNCIL HAS NOT AS YET SIGNED CONTRACT WITH THE OHIO PUBLIC SERVICE COMPANY. Owing to ihe fact that there was nothing definitely specified in the contract pre'sented to the village council by the Ohio Public Service Company, in regard to the raising or lowering eif the rutes during the life of this contract, the council refused to aign the contract, at un udjounred meeting held in the council chambers Tuesday night. The contract hus been In the possession of the locul board of public affairs for the past several weeks but lias just recently been handed over to the council for tbelr approval. In view of the fact thut the contract will cover a period of ten years, the council did not feel ua if they were justified lu signing Is unlesa some provision was mude lu the contract giving the Tillage some protection ngainst Ihe raising of the rates.

And again he found where it said thut "'the servant of Uie Lord, In whom God took delight, would not so much as breuk u bruised reed" (Mt. 12:20; Isa. 42:3). Jesus must have done some real hard thinking aud studying in history and lltera ture. For most of his greut sayings one can find a parallel in the Jewish scriptures. The Beatitudes of Jesus, for example* ure to be found iu spirit, and almost word for word, in the Old Testameut, They are snmmed up in thut great word in Micah 6:8, "What doth the Lord require of thee, O man, but to do Justly, to love kindness, ami to walk humbly with thy God." Oh yes, there was hatred, and war, and murder, nnd a Ood of battles back of it all In the Old Testament, but there was also something better. Jeeus rejected the bad and chose the good ln the Bible. He rejected war even as he rejected the Mosaic law of divorce. His God was not a God of battles, but a God ot mercy and overcoming love. Think you it was easy for Jesus thus to choose? He lived lu the world just as we live ln the world. He was surrounded by. a pagan civilization, (Continued on Back Page) They Lost One Out of Eight Games ST. PETER'S EVANGELICAL A. Egli, Paator.

Jesus must have done some real hard thinking aud studying in history and lltera ture. For most of his greut sayings one can find a parallel in the Jewish scriptures. The Beatitudes of Jesus, for example* ure to be found iu spirit, and almost word for word, in the Old Testameut, They are snmmed up in thut great word in Micah 6:8, "What doth the Lord require of thee, O man, but to do Justly, to love kindness, ami to walk humbly with thy God."

He rejected war even as he rejected the Mosaic law of divorce. His God was not a God of battles, but a God ot mercy and overcoming love. Think you it was easy for Jesus thus to choose?
