The Purpose of the Law and Faith in Christ
A compact religious meditation contrasts law and salvation, arguing the law reveals sin rather than makes one righteous and that justification comes through faith in Jesus Christ. The text cites Romans and Galatians while noting unrelated local sports and community notices about Iowa National Guard, Century Farms, housewarmings, and extended family birthday gatherings.

Harkin seeks to protect small town post offices in cost fight
Congressman Tom Harkin urges the Postmaster General to stop closing small town post offices as a simple fix to Postal Service finances. He plans congressional hearings on long term rural service plans and questions the 57 percent closure goal, proposing contracted post offices as an alternative while stressing service over profit. He also notes inflation and energy costs as factors, asserts mismanagement, and cites a prior rural closing suit. The piece also covers Governor Robert Ray ordering a drought crop loss survey and Democratic caucus plans for September 19 in Iowa counties.
