The Paxton Record from Paxton, Illinois (2024)

1 a a a 4 BUCKLEY SE. JOHN'S EVANGELICAL LUTEERAN CHURCH Services for Sunday, Dee. 8. Morning service at 10 a. m.

The sermon based on Luke 21, 25-86 will treat of: "Our Attitude toward the Signs: of the Last Day, the Day of Judgement," We should observe them and heed their warning. A truth universally known is the fact: There is a God. Some people deny this fact, not by reason of conviction but because they do not want God. If they admit there is a God they must also admit that He is the judge to whom every one must give an account of his life. This truth is unpleasant to every man who has not sought and found pardon for his sins in the blood of Christ.

The Christian who through Jesus knows himself reconciled unto God, need not fear the judgment, To him the day of judgment will be the day of redemption from all evil. With pleasure he observes the signs which precede the last day and in repentance and faith he keeps himself prepared for it. The sermon will be a help to you to prepare for the coming of the Lord to Judgment, therefore, come to church SIX WEEKS EXAMS Exempt from the six week's exams at Buckley high school on Wednesday were the following: 90 to 100, Helen Braeunig, Edna and Esther Janssen, Lucile Mell, Raymond Behrends, Esther Hull, Leola Kaufman, Irma Stroup, Mildred Waldschmidt, Orla West, Irene Whitehurst, Ethel Weerts and Vera Strauss. 85 to 90: Vivien Hull, Florence Kaufman, Harold Lietz, LeRoy Mell, Betty Duever, Eleanor Patzman, Martin Wagner, Helen Ernst, Hazel Ditman, Jesse Hartke, Eura Mell and Hildah Ronna, AT SINGLETON HOME Mrs. R.

Kennedy Motor Co. Paxton, Illinois NOIS COURTESY EFFICIENT SERVICE ALWAYS Better Service Costs Less The numerous rate reductions made in recent years have taken a large slice off the bill for railway freight service paid by the American people.

The 1928 bill was 000,000 less than the same amount of transportation would have cost at the average rate of 1923-24, 000,000 less than it would have cost at the average rate of 1922 and $840,000,000 less than it would have cost at the average rate of 1921, But that does not tell the whole story. While the price of railway freight service has been going down, its quality has been going up, and the better service has saved additional money for shippers and receivers of freight. These additional savings have come chiefly from the improved speed and dependability of railway freight service. Faster service has redued interest charges on the value of goods in transit, and more dependable service has enabled dealers to reduce the size of their reserve stocks and thus to make savings in the cost of carrying inventories. Better service also has helped to make the flow of business more responsive to changing styles and conditions, and that has meant savings.

Further savings have come from the safer handling of freight; shippers have had fewer claims for loss and damage. The savings from lower rates, large as they are, considerably understate the total savings in the costs of business generally for which the railroads have been responsible. Constructive criticism and suggestions are invited. L. A.
