Have a Time With Bed Dog.
Now who is Red Dog, well those
who know say he is the trick horse
of Captain Harrison L. 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.

BIBLE SCHOOL LESSON

Sunday, August 29th

Brl
Golden Text: "Thou, shalt love thy
neighbor as thyself." Lev. 19:16.
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.

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:

"Within this silent cavern hung
The ready, swift and tuneful tongue
If bold in virtues cause it spoke
Yet gentle concord never broke;
If falsehood's honey it distained
And when it could not praise, was
chained
That tuneful tongue ehall pl-.ad
for thee,
When death unveils eternity."
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."
