Gayer, demo cratic candidate for County Clerk. Well, some little spell ago Red Dog, seeking gieener pastures got entang led in the mud of a creek running down by Rock Bluffs, and was there for most of the afternoon, and be came nearly exhausted before he was discovered. Then with the mud up to his back it was a severe task to get the critter out of the creek. The neighbors, however, kept at it until they had secured the animal. Cap tain Gayer was in Plattsmouth and when he was notified he came and with the truck pulled the unfortun ate horse out. We like the loyal way in which the neighbors worked until the ani mal was safe. The matter is also appreciated by Mr. Gayer, as well.

One on the Nurse. The story is told of a farmer who had the great blessing of an heir coming to his home, and which nec essitated a nurse foif khe little one and the mother for some time. The nurse, who is a most estimable lady, was duly installed, and thing were going along all right, and having some occasion to go to the ' barn, where she found some strange look ing fluid in a Jug, which she secured taking it to the housewife, and ac cused the genUeman of having hooch. He informed the nurse that it was simply sweet grape juice, and that she could test it by drinking some which she did, and as a consequence felt very funny, the man of the house taking his share as well. They were both a little how-come-you-so and talked much of the evils of intem perance. By and by the nurse be came drousy and went to sleep, to awake the following morning with a slight headache. Still firm in her belief that to drink anything strong is indeed very wrong. Community Program.

Man's Relation fo Man Getting on with people is one of the greatest evidences of Christianity in an Individual. Ualess man can get along with his fellow man, whom he knows, how can we expect that he is honoring the Heavenly Father, whom he has never seen? Man has failed to get along with his fellow man since the birth of the world. The first man born slew his brother and the first man to pass from the world was kill ed by the hand of his brother. With this and the disobedience of man to the commands of God, man lost his high estate and became an outcast from the garden which the Heavenly Father had prepared for man, and which was paradise itself. For his acts .of disobedience, man became doomed to work out his own salvation with the commands of God to guide him, but man became apos tate and did not comply with the re quirements of the great Jehovah and suffered many hardships on that ac count. For four hundred and thirty years the children of Israel were in bondage, that they might learn the lesson of obedience. When they be came numerically great enough to form a nation, God thru his servant Moses led them out of the land of bondage and for forty years while they journeyed, thru the wilderness, taught them to become a nation of people devoted to worship of the Great Jehovah the God of their fathers. Last Sunday we studied the com mands of God in their relation to God himself rwhat man was required to do that he might retain the prom ise made by God to Abraham and which in later years was to be ful filled in Jesus Christ, his son. After they had been so miraculous ly delivered from their Egyptian taskmasters, they were fed in the wilderness for the forty years before jthey were given their inheritance in the land or Canaan wnicn was prom ised to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. . Following the commandments that placed man in a position where he should positively know his relation to his maker, six more commandments were laid down, that man might be fully informed as to his relation to his brother man. j The fifth commandment was given and is called the first commandment j with a promise, it being: "Honor hyj father and thy mother that thy days; may be long in the land which the. Lord thy God giveth thee." Not alone was the command wholesome, but it j gave a promise that if it was obeyed ! not alone would the one observing it rain an inheritance in the eternal; world, but long life should be his m the present world. The parents who cared for us in our earlier years when we could not . Jcare for ourselves wnen we were, 'so helpless that our only means of ! communication was thru the medium j I op a cry sacrificed for us more thanj :we may ever realize, in many m- .stances they have even given their lives for us and taught us to observe .the statutes of God. Then, after the years they cared ior u in our help less condition, they continued to pro ride us food and rainment, educated us and gave us pleasures that they could ill aCord. w3;ile they labored to make for themselves and us a living. ill Plattsmouth September 10 and honored in sleeping cars upon payment of the usual Pullman fare Return Limit September 21 Baggage Checked a Usual Half fare for Children, 5 to 12 Unusual Opportunities for a VACATION IN THE ROCKIES BUY TICKETS EARLY and our minds become developed un til we become capable of doing what our parents did in the days when we were young. Our parents, on the other hand develop into the old age ! period of life, when infirmities make them unable longer to carry on with , The vigor Ot tormer lays. We can never repay, much as r.-e may try, our parents for the things which they have done for us. But we do for the children whom God has blessed us with, a similar service, and in this way help to pay the debt that s.;we owe our parents. Thus by the .. . gr-ace of God we are joined to the past ..(and the future and become a. link in .j. j that long chain of humanity which j is forever indebted to the love of the Heavenly Father for the blessings that come to us. The sixth of God's commandments to mankind is "Thou shalt not kill." cannot restore a life we have taken, and even if we give our own life in return, we cannot wipe out the crime of taking the life of a fellow man. for in the destiny of God we know not what that life might have brought forth for the world which God's love has through the years and is now blessing. "Thou shalt not commit adultery" is another of God's commandments to mankind. The marriage relation was the first institution which God found ed and he blessed it, when he caused a deep sleep to fall on Adam, taking of his rib and making woman, whom he gave to man for his wife. This institution was blessed that the hu man race should be pure and flow from . the Father himself. To keep this relation pure, this command was given, and to violate it is as great a sin as to tafce the life of another or commit cny other transgression that God in his wisdom has forbidden." Then said God, -"Thou shalt not steal." When one shall take the sub stance of life the living of another he virtually takes he means of living and his life. It is evident that in taking the goods of another we are also disobeying that new command ment which Christ himselfgave, to wit: "Love, the Lord thy God with all thy heart, with all thy might and with all thy strength and thy neigh bor as thyself." If we love our neigh bor as ourself, we are' certainly not going to steal his goods or his good name. "Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor" is another of the commands of God. A lying, tat tling tongue is a source of great evil, and the one who talks about his neighbor, even if he tells what is so with the1 intent to do injury to that neighbor, is guilty of the breaking of the whole decalogue. Well do the "Liijfs on a Skeleton" tell of the office of the tongue, and what is good and what is bad in the things which it does. Describing the mouth, the lines read: RAY GOliNIIY PICNIC!

Tell the truth and shame the devil is -the better way, foV when one lie is told it requires ten more to square yourself. The tenth and last of God's com mandments to man, "Thou shall not covet thy neighbor's house, thou shalt ! not covet thy neighbor's wife, nor his ! man-servant, nor his maid, servant, i nor his ox, nor his ass, nor anything j which rs thy neighbor's" covers a wide latitude and teaches a lesson that should be observed equally with the other nine. God has blessed this land. Thru his grace we have the fertile valleys, the warm sunshine, the gentle show ers, the balmy winds and everything jthat goes to make life worth while jand produce for us the things needed l to promote life and prosperity. He 'has placed on us all, the badge of labor, and only by the sweat of our j brow shall we be able to eat. The other fellow is in the same position, !as he likewise must work for what Jhe has, just as hard as we work, or mayhaps harder, and if perchance he has more then we. it is because he (or those before him) has denied him- iself some of the indulgences which ihave been ours, and if by this, or be ' cause he has worked while we slept or played, he is indeed entitled to the additional amount he accumulated while we played or spent our sub stance. Then, in truth, why should we covet our neighbor's goods, which is estientially stealing, for we are com mitting the act in our heart, whether If we covet our neighbor's wife, we are guilty of more than one sin, yea of many, for we are an adulterer In our heart to begin with, and we are desirious of stealing that which be longs to our neighbor, as well. To ye sister we say this applies jut the same if you are trying to steal some one's husband. You are both conspir ing to break up the home of another the very first institution that God created on earth and the basic orga nization which God formed to bring blessings and happiness to all man kind. Know the commandments of God and keep them, for in their observ ance we are doing the very things which God has said will brings for us eternal life, and is verified in the truth that Christ himself put forth when he talked with Martha and she said, "Hadst thou been here my brother had not died," to-wit: "He that believeth on me, though he die. yet shall he live; and he that liveh and believeth on me shall never die." Remember God's admfnition to mankind: "Love me and keep my commandments." fior M
