The Transfiguration. Golden Text: "This is my loved Son, hear ye Him." The ninth chapter of Luke's Gospel contained the two foregoing lessons as well a3 the one we study today. The feeding of the five thous and and Peter's confession. About a week after the last lesson, when Peter had made the confession, Jesus took Peter, John and James and went up into a mountain to pray. He had done so before and the dis ciples had asked him. "Lord teach us to pray?" Then He gave them the model prayer, not to be memor ized as so many words, but to be known,' for it contained our relation ship with God, and the requirements for our living togather as brothers. The prayer on this occasion had an other significance. Like at all times. when the Lord prayed. He did it with an earnestness that would not be satisfied, except the blessing was claimed and given, while in the earnestjiess of the 'talk with the Father, His countenance changed and His raiment became white and glistened, showing with that white ness surpassing the sun. As He prayed, there appeared Moses, who had lived and died nearly a thousand and five hundred years before, and Elijah, who had been translated, taken to heaven bodly, more than nine hundred years before. While these men communed, they talked of the time, and which shouldl soon come, when in fulfillment with the divine plan, the Christ should be crucified that He might save the world, taking the sins of the people and paying with His life their trans gressions, and which should shortly be accomplished at Jerusalem. This was at the very climax of His earthly popularity, for the time of prosecu tion were coming, when He should be ill treated in every way and final ly be put to death. The three dis c'.ples were very weary. They had been attendent upon the Master, had missed meals and lost sleep, and while the Master prayed they fell asleep, not the last time for it oc curred again in the Garden of Geth seneme while again the Lord wrest led in prayer. An this time, when they were fully awake they saw the Master with Moses and Elijah and as these two were departing Peter, who always wanted to do something said "Master, it is good for us to be here, and let us make three Taber nacles, one for Moses, one for Elijah and one for Thee," for he did not know what he was saying. While they thus spoke with the Master a cloud overshadowed them, and for its brightness they were unable to see, and great fear took hold of them. Then cams a voice out of the cloud saying. "This is My beloved sou hear ye Him." Then the cloud lifted and Jesus was found alone. This experience wan so over powering, so great, so marvelous they held their peace, and told no one in those days, for they were commanded by the Master not to tell it until He had returned from the dead. In the last Sunday's lesson Peter had said to the Master, "Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God." In their experience on the mount, the voice of the Father speaking from the cloud had said, "This is My be loved Son, hear ye Him." ' The Lord of Glory had been born as a little child had lived as a child, grew to man's estate, obeyed all the commandments and requirements, and had been glorified a number of times. In His death, in His resurec tion, His ascensoin to heaven and for ever He sets on the right of the Father in heaven. Christ had come teaching and had spoken with authority and not a3 other men, but with a convincing certainlty that compelled belief. When the voice came from the could saying, "This' is My beloved Son, hear ye Him," it was a credential far surpassing any that could be given in all the earth. Christ had taught and preached by example, by parable and by healing, in His hand the very forces of nature was held, for he restored life, etired all manner of disease, had stilled the storm, walked on the water and now the voice from the Father is an authen tication from the Great Jehovah to those of that day, to all who have lived until now, to us of this day, and to all who shall inhabit the earth until the end of time, that Jesus Christ is indeed the Son of God. The savior of all mankind and all that He said is true. These things are written that you might believe that Jesus i3 the Christ the Son of God, and that believing ye might have life through His name. When Thomas, who had not been with the twelve when Jesus had appeared following his ressurection, j and said that he would not believe , except he could put his fingers in the nail holes in the hands of the Master, where he had been nailed to the cross, and thrust his hand in the wound In His side, he would not believe. Then another time he was with the other disciples, when the Lord appeared, Jesus said come put j'our fingers in the prints of my lieving, Thomas confessing acknowl edged by saying, "My Lord and my God." Jesus saith, "Thomas because thou hast seen Me, thou hast be lieved, blessed are they that have not seen and yet have believed." John the beloved disciple, the writer of the Gospel bearing his nam- .nd the Apoclypse has testified, Johr 20; 30, "And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of His disciples which are not written in this book. John 20; 31 "But these are written that ye might believe, that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing ye might have life through His name." MRS. ELIZA- -BETH GREEN FOUND GUILTY 1 (Continued From Page 1) Witness had set in back seat with the defendant on the way to the court house. Questioned as to injuries to Mrs. Green, witness stated that she onlv one small discoloration under the eye when they had her at the court house. Sheriff E. P. Stewart testified that he had been sheriff of Cass county since December 10, 1923, and had known of the arrest of Jess Green for violation of the liquor law. Witness was at the office of the county at torney when Young came down from the Green place and said he had some trouble and that Green had got away he thought. When wit ness had knocked at the rear door of the Greeu house Mrs. Green had come to the door and swore at them and almost instantly had drawn the gun on them and witness had grab bed her wrist as the gun was dis charged and witness had then grab bed the other wrist of the defendant and told Deputy Sheriff-Young to take the gun, which he had done, Mrs. Green was biting and scratch- ng at they disarmed her. He had told deputy to tie her hands as she was keeping up a fight and after that she had said that she would be good and that he had then told Mr. Young to take her on to the car. Mrs Green had said that she would go with the witness but not Mr. Young and they had then brought her to the office of the county attorney. At the office of the county attorney. Mrs. Green had said that she was net trying to shoot witness but Mr. loung. After this defendant had aid that she would go with the wit ness to jail by not Young. They had been no rougher with Mrs. Green than absolutely necessary. The dogs at the Green place were very vicious On cross-examination, Mr. Stewart testified that Mrs. Green was about a pace away when she had fired the revolver at them. They had stepped into the house after the shooting to get the gun. He had no warrant for Green's arrest and was not searching: the place but merely asked as to where Jess Green was. Witness did not know about any settlement agreement as to the cost and fine of Green prior to this time except by heresay. Witness had handled Mrs. Green as easily as possible when try ing to secure the gun and taking her to jail. Attorney J. A. Capwell testified that he had been county attorney at the time of the affair and had told Young to bring Green in for his fail ure to pay the fine and costs and that also Mrs. Green had said in his office and in his presence that she had not intended to shoot Stewart but Young. There had been no threats made toward the defendant to induce this statement from her. This was the last witness of the state and the prosecTition rested at 3:50. The first witness called by the de fence was Jess Green, husband of the defendant, and whose arrest had been the chief cause of the trouble. Mr. Green testified that he had been arrested for violation of the liquor law ana lined $100 and costs prior to the time of the trouble. He, had been told by the Judge and county attorney to go home and work to se cure the money to pay the fine and costs. No time had been specified as to the payment and some $40 had been paid later on the amount. Wit ness had met County Attorney Cap well on the early afternoon of May 27th and he had told him to come to his office and then Capwell had told, him that he would have to pay the nne or go to jail. Capwell had turned the witness over to Young and he had asked Young to let him go up the street and get his truck and see about getting the money. Young had driven to home of witness and witness had placed his truck in the garage and gone into the house to try and secure his wife to go up to relatives to get the money but wife hr.d said it was no use. He had then gone out of the rear of . the house down into the creek along the Bur lington shop yards and thence to the home of Jean Mason. Mrs. Green was setting and crying when he had left the house on his getaway. Wit ness had supper and staid all night at the Mason home and then gone over to Iowa the next day to try and sell his car. He had later come back to Plattsmouth and tried to get into jail but had been refused admission. On cross-examination, Mr. Green stated that his purpose in going out of the house and Into the deep creek had been to get. away without Mr. Young seeing him. When he had re turned here and gone to the Jail he had talked to C. D. Qulnton and who refused to let him into the Jail un til he had seen Stewart or Young. Witness had told Young at the time of the visitation at the Oreen home that Mrs. Green was getting ready to go after the money but Bhe did not do this. Jean Mason testified that Mr. show cause why the prayer of peti- t n .ti.u ... hands and thrust your hand in my ' Gren had 6taid at hi8 place fop sup. ' notice" of the penSncy of Aid May 27 th. On cross-examination. Mr. Mason testified that Green had visited there often but had never staid all night before. He had heard about trouble at the Green home and knew why Green was there". Wit ness had left word that Green was there when he returned from Iowa and that the authorities had come out and secured him, Harry Sitzmann testified that he was working in his garden when he heard Mrs. Green Bcream and later a shot fired. He had walked over and looked into the porch and saw offi cers tying both hands he thought. Young had carried the defendant down stairs. The officers handled Mrs. Green pretty rough he thought and were usink quite a good deal of force. On cross-examination witness stated that he could not see into the house as to what was going on. Wit ness was asked as to his having been tried and convicted for a crime and served a term in the penitentiary and stated that he had been given a full release. A number of ladies were called with whom Mrs. Green -had been em ployed or had known her as a neigh bor and who offered testimony that her actions had always been peace able and that she was industrious and among these were Mrs. Fred Mumm, Mrs. Anna Geiser, Mrs. Fred Egenberger, Mrs. Madge Payne. Harry Hankinson, a lad of fifteen years, testified that he had been near the shop fence a short distance from the Green homo. He had heard a shot and after that a scream. He had not seen anyone at the Green home when he had glanced at the house after the shot and scream. He had seen Mr. Young later at the house. Mrs. Elizabeth Green, the defend ant, took the stand shortly after 5 o'clock. She testified that she was sixty years of age and had lived here all of her life. That on the late afternoon of May 27th Mr. Green had come home and said, "Mamma, go up to Bergman's and get me $70." Witness had said no use to go. Green had made this request twice and said would either have to get the money or go to jail and had finally said, "I m gone," and left out through the back door. Witness did not see where he had gone. Young had came to the door after about 5 min utes and asked for Jess and she had told him she did not know where he was and he had called her a liar. 1 oung had gone away and came back later with Sheriff Stewart and they had called her a liar again. They had pushed her against the door and bruised her and then threw her onto a couch and had struck and hit her several times. The revolver had been lying on a shelf Just over the ccuch and she had secured it and fied to get help. She had been han dled roughly and was frightened They had tied both hands while she was out on the porch. The witness denied telling anyone that she was shooting at Young and not Stewart and had not said anything about it The officers had torn her clothes in getting her out of the house The jury got-an insight into the fine points of ladies' wearing apparel as the garments purporting to be those worn by ' Mrs. Green on May 27th were shown the jury to show the torn places. Mrs. Green further testified "that she had not cursed the officers and did not tell Young to get off the porch or that' she would get some thing that would maEfe him get off. She had not carried revolver when she went to the door. .One shot was fired and this had entered the middle of the door panel and lodged in the wall and witness produce a bullet that was claimed to be the one found n the wall.. On cross-examination, Mrs. Green stated that she had the garments she had worn for two vears and washed them every week. The coun ty attorney questioned the witness as to whether or not 104 washings would not make the garments badly worn and apt to tear- easily. Wit ness stated that she had been per fectly calm at the office of the coun ty attorney and made no claims bout shooting at Deputy Sheriff 'oung. This morning when couit was con vened there was some additional tes timony offered by the defense to back up their contention that the shot had been fired by Mrs. Green from the interior of her kitchen. The de fendant, Mrs. Green was placed on the stand again and the door in the house that she claimed had received the bullet was brought into court and identified by the defendant and shown ot the Jury. The door bore marks of a bullet that had passed through the frame separating the glass sections of the door. Mrs. Green stated that she had first seen the bullet hole on May 29th when she had returned to her home after the preliminary hearing. On cross examination, Mrs. Green stated that the officers were on the left hand side of the door when the shooting occurred. Fred Patterson testified that he had visited the Green home and made a blue print of the house and the in terior of the kitchen and the situa tion of the different articles of furn iture in the room at the time he was there.

Ycr, cn a recently discovered map of his in St. Mary's College, Montreal, he outlines the course of the Missouri to a point far nortn of this latitude. He lays down the Platte in almost its exact location. The Indian tribes which he enumer ates bear such names as Panas, Mahas and Otontantes which can be easily translated Pawnees, Omahas and Otoes. He collected all his information from Indians and only his early death deprived us of a more detailed account of Nebraska of that day, because he had hoped and planned to explore the Platte. The lure of the Buffalo country, called by the Spaniard, Coronado "The land of Quivera", has exercised its enchant ment ever since. Its conquest is an epic of boldness and courage, cf endurance ana perseverance in the face of dis couragement and disappointment. It is a record of determination and heroism. That pioneer spirit lives on in Nebraska. It has made Nebraska a land of promise fulfilled, of opportunity unlimited. The state stands absolutely at the top in value of beef produced per capita. No state spends more money per capita for education. No state has a lower percentage or illiteracy. Right now Nebraska sees the dawn of an even greater prosperity than that which preceded the world-shaking and paralyzing period of post-war chaos. A Nebraska institution that has shared the labor of pio neering and known Nebraska's "growing pains", the success ful operation of the Standard Oil Company of Nebraska is absolutely dependent on the prosperity of Nebraska. By de veloping and maintaining a stare-wide and efficient service for supplying gasoline, motor oil and kerosene for all the people all the time in the sparsely settled rural districts as well as in rich cities the Company seeks to be an asset of increasing helpfulness. Constructive suggestions for bettering our service are always welcome and receive careful consideration. STANDARD OIL COMPANY OF NEBRASKA 1 Main Ofice: OMAHA Branch Offices: LINCOLN HASTINGS H.
