About thirty-three years ago he came to Nebraska set tling in Cass county where for nine years he worked near Rock Bluffs for Jacob Kaublo, an uncle of L. D Hiatt. Following this he was also employed by W. E. Dull for 15 years and has lived in and about Murray during the past 33 years. He was always a friend to all who needed a friend, always willing to work when there was anything to do. He, the past year, has been janitor at the Murray school and while not the most robust in health was always found at his post of duty.

Golden Text: "Blessed is the King that cometh in the name of the Lord." (Luke, 19:38). The setting of this lesson, in place, Jerusalem, in tim near the latter portion of Christ's ministery, for He was crusified but a short time follow ing His "triumphal entry." The Master had been over in parea, and was returning to Jeru salem for one of the great feast days was approaching which He and His disciples came to attend. On His journey to Jerusalem, He had opened the eyes of the blind Bar Temeus and had dined with ZaccTieus and had come on up over the Jericho road to Bethany and Bethpage. These two places were near Jeru salem and on the Mount of. Olives Here He had just given the parable of the talents, in which He taught that we should do the best we can with what we have. The story of the talents, or pounds, being that of a man who had to take a journey into a far country, and had left his property in the hands of his servants with oders- to use the poses sions. When he went into the far country he received a kingdom and he must have assistance to rule the new lands. He was looking fr some one capable of helping hint. The world is now looking for capablie men in all lines, artisans, mechanics, fanners industrious men not. afraid t: w ik and do right. When he re turned, he tested the servants, The n.-r he called up he had in'rustei with ten pounds, vnd when he had r'poned he had iraag the ten pounds earn 10 more. Ho was immediately ccniticed that that man would make a krod governor for a portion cf his kingdom, and he rude him rul ovjt ten cities. Then came the man in trusted with five jounds. !7j had made a proportionate gain aud he was i-jade ruler ovt r five citie. Then cane the one intraMed with tut one pound, and he conTossed he ha I taken tne iound, digged .; hole and placed the pound in the earth, and thus ha the money. The status of tne c.se being he had done nothing, he bad rone to sleep at the swi:h and allowed all the goo1 opportunities to s'ip by unheeded tr.d with n) etfoit on his part. He was either afraid, lazy or did not posses the required knowledge for the proper earring on of business. This third servant proved he was entirely useless for this man, so the pound was taken from him and he was dismissed, in other words. thrown out, for he was not fit for anything and could not be used. These things happened just before Christ and the disciples came to the Mount of Olives, overlooking Jeru salem. For some time the Master had been retiring, keeping away from the public, now He come3 to make an entry into Jerusalem as King of kings and Lord of lords. The king of a spiritual kingdom, while even His disciples had a conception of a temporlal or earthly kingdom. His coming exactly fulfilled prophecy, when they had arrived at Bethany, He sent two of His disciples to bring a donkey for Him to ride, one which had never been riden before. When they had returned with the animal they took their garments and placed then) op the animal, and sat Jesus thereon and, a3 He moved toward the shouted Hosanah, which means sal vation, for indeed the Christ was bringing salvation for all the world. They cut branches from trees and spread them in the path. They waved palm leaves and shouted and sang, for the very King of spiritual Isreal was coming. With what gladness the multitude acclaimed Him King, who had raised the dead, had cured the lepers, had restored the blind their sight and done other wonderous works. But how were others looking at the matter of proclaiming Him King. The Jewish church had been trying to take Him for a long time. The Roman government were wondering about this new King, so some of the rulers came to the Master, while the people were shouting and sing ing, and asked Him to stop the dem onstration for, they claimed, it would endanger the welfare of the city. The Master answered, "Should I stop their mouths, the very stones would cry out for joy," referring to Haba-j kuk, 2:11, which says, "For tne stones shall cry out of the wall and the beams out of the timber shall answer. Then follows tne la verse of the same chapter, "Woe to him that buildeth a town with blood, and establisheth a city by eniquity." This was one of the credentials of the Master, one of the very proofs of His divinity, that He was and is and is to be, iorever anu iorever, me Son of the Almighty. All Powerful, Omminpotent God. Christ knew that this demonstration was to be fol lowed by His crucifiction. Knew they would crucifv Him notwithstanding the fact that He went in and cleansed the temple, and drove out the money changers and grafters., telling them, You have made My Father s nouse a den of theaves. Following this He went back to Bethany, to the home of Lazarus, Mary and Martha, where he remained for the night, only to return to Jeru salem in the morning. At Bethany He stayed with His friends and re cuperated from the day's hard work wel knowing the things which should come to Him during the weeK just beginning. The Master taught daily in tne temple, while at the same ,the scribes and chief priest sought to kill Him. But had difficulty in bringing charges against Him. He pronounced a judgement against Jerusalem for her sins saying.Luke, 19:43-44, "For the days will come upon thee, that thine enemies shall east a truch about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side, and lay thee even with the ground, ana thy children within thee, and they shall not leave one stone upon an other; because thou knowest not the time of thy visitation." This proph- sey was fulfilled some thirteen years afterwards,46, A. D. LEAVES FOE CHICAGO From Monday's Dally Yesterday afternoon George r .
