BIBLE SCHOOL LESSON
Sunday, April 12, 1925.
By M. S. Brisss
The Cripple Hesrored
"I am Jehovah that healeth thee."
Exodus 15:26.
There were m.nv cripples in the
east in the days in which this les
son Is laid. With no other way of
making: a living except begging, they .
sought the more advantageous points
for their craft. The one in our les-
son today was caried daily to the
eastern gate of the temple of Jerusa- j
lem where many people passed in
and out and while the donations '
were probably small the number !
made up for their size. This temple '
was the third Solomon had built, the i
first one from material which David, !
his father, had collected, but which ;
David himself was not permitted to :
build on account of his having shed
so much blood in the wars which
ravaged Israel for many yeirs. Thi
temple had stood until Nebuchad-.
nezzer had carried the nation of Ju- j
dah away into captivity, when it;
was destroyed. This was restored by 1
Jezzubahel some seventy years later
and stood until Herod had it remov
ed to make place for the temple in
which the scene of our lesson is laid
and which was the most magnificent
of all the temple buildings. It was
at the Branhful gate of thi3 temple
that the cripple was placed at pente-
cost. As in our last lesson all the j
aposrtlos were given power to per-'
form miracles. But a short time be-;
fore Peter and John had been at the
meeting of Pentecost. They were
endowed with this miraculous pow-i
er. Their habit was to go to the
temple every day as many people .
came at the hours of prayer and !
thus they had congregations to.
whom to speak. They, Peter and !
John', were entering the temple the j
following dsy at 3 o'clock in the'
afternoon. The cripple asked for
something when the two disciples!
were about to enter the temple, the 1
cripple for all his life asked of them.
Peter and John stopped. And ad-!
dressing him said. "Look on U3." j
Then Peter when he had the crip
ple's attention, said, "Silver and gold !
have I none, but what I have I give i
unto you. In the name of Jesus'
Christ of Xazarc-th, walk." Then!
Peter stepped forward and extending'
nis rignt nana grasped the right
hand of the cripple lifted him and as
lie arose the bones and muscles re
ceived strength. And the cripple.
perceiving he was cured, leaped and
ran shouting and praising God and
the Ixrd Jesus Christ which attract- !
ed the attention of the people and
In a very short time all that portion !
of the temple was filled with eager)
people wanting to know by what'
means this cripple was walking, run-
ning ana leaping about praising God.
All knew him for they saw him every
nay at tne gate begging. lie held on
to his deliverers, Peter and John, j
while the people were amazed. Peter
and John said. Do not be so greatly
puzzled for we by our power have
not done this but it is a manifesta
tion of the wonderful power of
Jesus, the Christ, the Son of the
living God. whom you have cruci
fied; he Is now both Lord and Christ
and eitteth at the right hand side of
the Father in heaven. From this
incident the two preachers of the
new church began and preached a
very able discourse which was effec
tive in carrying the message to many
people.
Peter said unto the cripple. Look
on us, to give money is one thing;
one might give money and think
nothing about it. To toss a coin to
one and go on is a light thing. Prob
ably a way of getting rid of an un
desirable person or situation. , Not
so in this case for Peter 6aid to the
cripple, "Look on us, we have no
money to give you, but such as we
have we will give." Then he said,
"In the name of Jesus Christ, the
Son of God, walk."
Never in his life had this man
walked; he was a cripple from birth, ;
when Peter commanded him to walk.
He also extended him a strong right
hand with a warm, cordial, friendly,
encouraging clasp, assisting him to
arise and as he did so the man's
faith grew with leaps and bounds,
for he immediately leaped and
bounded running and praising God.
How different from tossing a coin
or a piece of money was this per
sonal touch, this inspiration, this
faith building act of this disciple of
the Inrd. Thi was service, the
kind that the Master taught for he
touched the bier on which the son of
the widow of Nain was being car
ried and he arose. He took hold of
the hand of the mother. Peter's wife
and she arose from the dead and
ministered unto them. He stooped
down at the mouth of the cave in
which Lazarus slept and called Laz
arus, Come forth, and while he had
been dead for four days he obeyed
and was alive again. This is the
service that , awaits and fortunate
is he who can thus serve. We re
number when a number were visit
ing a sick friend, one of the party
bv reason of his trade was able to
render service while the other, while
he longed to do something for the
Pick man. but as his profession was
that of an attorney, there was noth
ing he could Co.
This huriness of service is retro
active as is illustrated by this story:
George Dean, who was unused to
hard rowing of a boat and was out
in n lake nenr six miles from shore
when John Fowler, a hardy fisher
man like this rugged Peter, came
along and seeing Dean, though a
stranger, was about given out. offer
ed to tow Dean's boat behind his
own the six miles to shore and then
refused to take any pay for the ser
vice. Dean when he reached shore
took his car and started for town,
his habit, like many was not to pick
any one he did not know, but be
cause John Fowler had been kind to
him, he stopped and asked John
Graves, who was walking to town
after his team, which he had left
that morning to have shod. Because
of this lift which Dean gave John
Graves, he was able to get started
home early and on the way came on
Joe Hardy with his car in the ditch.
John helped Joe out. pulling the car
out with his team. Hardy was able
then to speed along the lakeside
road. Someone stopped Hardy to
tell him of a very serious accident
which had just happened to Jean
Fowler's three year old daughter,
Lottie, who wa3 seriously injured.
Joe Hardy rushed to the Fowler
home and taking Lottie and her
father rushed them to town and the
doctor, thus probably saving the
child's life. Little did Jean Fowler
think that he was contributing to
the saving of hi own child's life
when he offered to tow George
Dean's and his boat ashore. When
one dees a good deed to anyone he
is contributing to the some human
happiness.
Every person should recognize
God as the Giver of all temporal and
spiritual blessings. God has entered
into partnership with man. God
furnishes the sunshine, the rain, the
wind3, the fertile soil, gives man
life, strength and the use of all na
ture and shares with man the bless
ings. Man sometimes is thankful,
sometimes not. The very least any
of us can do is to express our thank
fulness. Christianity means a new aspect
of life. The facts in life are differ
ent to us, the people are different,
the change make3 all men our broth
ers and we see in everything some
thing to be thankful for.

EtajLk ksaiw al the Soual t&BaA
There have been over twenty-five
new translations and revisions of the
Bible since 1900. according to the
Rev. Dr. John Fort Newton in the
April Internationa! Book Review.
The awakening interest in the Testa
ments is fostered by the desire of
people for a guide in this age of con
fusion, Dr. Newton states. Several
of the new editions of the Bible are
in commonplace phraseology so that
the plain man can fully understand
the context.
"A new translation of the Bible has
more than once meant a renewal, if
not a revolution, in the life of the
people," Dr. Newton says. "And an
extraordinary fact of our time is the
new interest in the Bible, a desire to
hear and understand its truth, if so
it may once more heal the hurt and
heartache of humanity, and give
guidance to a bewildered age. groping
its way with no common faith and
no spiritual program.
"It bespeaks an effort to unite the
e-ntemal values of faith with the
vision of the world and its laws,
thereby healing the schism between
science and mysticism.
"Since 1900, not less than twenty
five new translations or revisions of
the New Testament have appeared
three-fifths of them in America. Tak
en together, they make a rich gift
to our generation, as much to the
plain man who wants to know what
the Master did and said in words he
can understand, as to the scholar
who will revel in new felicities of
phrase and niceties of thought. In
four, there is an effort to escape from
the unnatural form in which the gos
pel has hitherto been printed.
"Each of these translators is keen
ly aware of the sacred revalry of the
King James version, whose stately
antique diction is entwined with the
holiest memories of our heart. Yet
they freely depart from it, sacrificing
association in behalf of clarity and
intelligibility; and therein they are
right, tho it does jar a bit at times.
We can hardly turn a page of any
of these new translations without
finding an old passage retouched until
it glows like a star."
TREASURER BALKS
PAYING INCREASES
IN STATE SALARIES
Holds Money Not Appropriated, Tax
Levy Insufficient to Meet
Grants.
Lincoln, Neb., April 6. Governor
McMullen's administration received
another solar plexus jolt this morn
ing when State Treasurer Charles A.
Robinson walked into the state fi
nance department and said he would
refuse to honor warrants drawn on
the state treasury for the increased
salaries of code secretaries as author
ized by the governor.
Robinson informed the finance
department which is one of the code
departments, that the vouchers for
the six code secretaries salaries
would have to be drawn in two parts
one representing the amount allowed
these officials during the Bryan ad
ministration and the other represent
ing the increase allowed by Governor
McMullen to make up the complete
5 thousand dollars a year which was
allowed by the McKelvie administra
tion. The treasurer's theory is that no
money has been appropriated to meet
thi3 increase. He holds that the tax
levy made a year ago was calculated
only to. raise the money called for by
the appropriations made at that time
by the legislature of two years ago.
It is impossible to pay these higher
drafts now without mortgaging the
state treasury, he contends.
Warrants will also be registered to
cover the more than 7 hundred thou
sand dollars worth of claims con
tained in the general deficiency bill
passed at this session, Robinson said.
"The session of the legislature two
years ago became so involved in par
tisan jockeying that they refused to
recognize that these debts existed,"
he told the World-Herald today.
"There i3 no money appropriated to
meet them, and they must bo car
ried as interest bearing registered
warrants until Governor McMullen's
tax board makes a higher tax levy
to bring in the money for them."
Robinson said that these warrants
would probably have to be carried as
registered until next September.
The total amount of warrants to
be regitred will total nearly a mil
lion dollars, it was believed here to
day. These will bear interest at the
current rate until they are taken up
by the state. Besides a tax levy high
enough to pay these increased claims,
there will have to be additional
money to pay the interest on the
registered warrants.
Robinson said that his decision
also affected all other increased sal
aries and new salaries authorized by
McMullen.
Robinson ordered a rubber stamp
to be used in registering the war
mants, the first to be held up for
payment in Nebraska since 1915.
Deficit Over Million.
"They cannot continue to pass the
buck to me and create a million dol
lar debt and let me take the credit
for it," said Robinson. "I will not
carry the state a million to two mil
lion dollars in the red."
The treasury deficit Is 1 million 2
hundred thousand dollars. It the cur
rent bills were paid it would in
crease the deficit to over 2 million
dollars. The warrants today lay on I
the desk of Secretary of State Pool.

Robinson estimated the extra ex
