JACOB GARTEMIAIS Jacob Gartenhaus Preaches Murphy And Andrews Next Sunday Rev. Jacob Gartenhaus, of liie Homo Mission Board of the South ern Baptist Convention, Atlanta. Ceorgia. has for the past twenty tour years been in charge of the riepai tment of Jewish Evangelism es field secretary. In this capacity he has visited and spoken in forty different states and a number ui Foreign countries. He will speal: at First Baptist Church. Murphy the 11 o clock service, Sunday. Juno 9. and at Andrews Baptist C hurch. Andrews. Sunday night 8 o'clock. Mi-. Gartenhaus was born in Aus tria. in an orthodox Jewish home of wealth and culture, and was edu cated in the strictest Jewish schools of learning ? the cherished hope ot h s parents being that he become a rabbi. Ho came to this country in his youth seeking more wealth, but this world with its charms failed la satisfy this young Hebrew's search for peace of heart, until he found j Jesus of Nazareth. During 1913, in | a Eaptist mission, he made tne complete surrender. He was com Pell 'd to give up his business and he turned to his Christian friends for help. After completing hi.-. stiK.ies at the Moody Bible Insli- j tute Chicago and the Baptist Theo- j logical Seminary, Louisville, he I came to his present position. City- '? wide meetings have been conduct ed by him in many oi the larger cities, among them: New Orleans. Atlanta, Louisville. Knoxville. Kan s?s City. St. Louis. Richmond. Baltimore, Oklahoma City .-nd Washington, I) C. In an interview Mr. Gartenhaus stated he is not what some people term "a converted Jew", but rathei "a completed Jew". There is a general impression ;hat when a Jew embraces the principles as pro claimed by Jesus of Nazareth, lie thus ceases to be a Jew. but the Apostle Paul spoke of himself as ' a Hebrew among Hebrews." This ( hristian Jew holds a responsible place among Southern Baptists in the life of the denomination, and is rendering a great and lasting service in promoting better rela tions and understanding between Jews and Gentiles. Quoting the president of the Home Mission Board. "He has done more than any other man to impress upon the minds of southern Baptists the great debt of gratitude they owe the Jewish people. His appeal for fellowship and brotherhood is not alone for Jew and Gentile in America, but for all peoples every where." Nurses Increases Daily Charges Private duty nurses of district ! one.

The county has two licensed | boarding homes for children, but | none for the aged. From time to time the welfare j department is confronted with the , problem of finding a home for an eld age assistance recipient who has no home. These persons are rot sick and are able to wait on themselves, but are in need of com fortable home surroundings. A boarding home for the aged must conform to the county santitation laws, must provided adequate sleep ing quarters and proper diet, and should be accessible to a church.
