We want all newslvenm Editob BIBLE SCHOOL LESSON Sunday, January 23rd By M. B. Brisa .g. g. Golden Text: "Forgive us our trespasses just as we forgive those that trespass against us." Why Should We Pray? Just what is prayer, and its atti tude to ourselves when we really pray? Is prayer, as some understand it, simply asking for a favor of some one who is able to give it? Well, we hardly look at it that way; for that looks to us more like begging. To pray we are not to be just soli citors, but the really and truly pray erful mood is to bend our wills into conformity with that of the Father, who loved us, and the Son, who came and gave his life that we might live. Can vou. as a human being, imagine or conceive of the wonderful love of the Father, manifested in the coming of His Son into this world, from high heaven, here to suffer and give up his life, after agonizing hours of prayer and service, for did not the Christ himself, thru the medium of prayer on that black night in the Garden of Gethsemane, bend his will into conformity with that of the Father, when he said. '"If it be pos sible in thy great plans for the re demption of mankind, to pass this sacrifice, that of having me carry the burden of the sin of the world, and to spare my life, pass iC, but not my will, oh my Father, but thine be done." If we could conceive the wonder ful love which in the beginning prompted the creation of the Universe of which this world is but a small part, and of making a place here for man and in having everything just the very best for mankind, and then when man would njot measure up to the place which had been prepared by a loving Father, to rec laim him, God the Father, ( in conjunction with his Son, had tbe Son reincarserated, that He might live as we live and teach us the life, the truth and the way. The Master, for such he was. is and ever shall be, talked often with the Father, counselling with him and re ceiving advice and ' inspiration, for after a day's strenuous work he would go to the Father to pray. His was a life of prayer he began by prayer, he prayed through his life and pray ed when it was ending. As the spirit was returning to the Father, he pray ed for the world and those whom he had left here. His "Forgive them; they know not what they do" was one of the truest phases of his earthly lifr for he was forgiving his enemies and praying for those who were his enemies and were despitefully using him. When the disciples found the Lord in prayer, they asked him, saying: "Teach us how to pray, as John taught his disciples," for he had taught them before they became the disciples of the Master. Then did Jesus answer with the most wonderful prayer which was ever made: He hade them pray in this manner: "Our Father, who are in heav en. Hallowed by Thy name. Thy kingdom, come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread : Forgive us our trespass es as we forgive those who tres pass against us: Lead us, not in temptation, but deliver us v from all evil. For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever and ever. Amen." How do we understand this pray- er; are we just to say it, without do- ing all we can to bring the petitions to pass. The beginning "Our Father." recognizes the relationship which sn0uld exist between us and God, and as we are UiS children, all others are likewise, and we are all brothers Such a wonderful opening of such a WOnderful prayer. And with the aress, "Our Father," we also sav, "Who art in heaven." Thus we ate oomjnff to tne very throne of God with our pctjtion. assuming the at- titmle of a child with its parents, for we re trusting in the great love cf Uie Pagr, and are attempting to re- turn that love as we can. being but mortais Then in a burst of love &nd reTerence we say. "Hallowed be "pjjy nam1" pic,;m Promising, as it were, to respect. to honor and hallow the very name of the loving Father, to not take it in I vain, not to use it when it is not iproper to do so and to not attempt to do anything questionable under guise that we are doing it in His name and in His honor. 1 Then we say, "Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done " and "do we mean by this that we are going to, and in fact now doing all we can to bring a condition about on earth such as will produce a little heaven in our midst and make our fellows indeed the children of the highest. Are we, when we pray, wanting to make it possible for the will of the Father to be reflected from the acts which we are ever doing here. We want earth to be like heaven, so then let us be just and kind and loving, forgiving to our fellows, or are we just taking the name of our Father in vain. ! Then we say in all sincerity, "Give us this day our daily bread." Do we mean like a birdling that even before its eyes are opened, holds its mouth up for a worm just something to eat, ae everyone has to eat? True, the Father rained manna down in the! wilderness for forty years for the Israelites, and that lesson comes to us now, that we are really dependent on the love of the Father, for every thing we have, from the very air we breathe to the food we eat and the forgiveness which we are to ask in the next phrase, for Indeed, we are asking along with the material bread of subsistance for our bodies, the true bread which came down from heaven, even the very Christ, who came to purchase our lives and transform them into a better and fuller under standing of God's ways. Then we S. must realize the necessity along with 4. this petition of so conforming our 2. : lives to such a state of perfection that JL we can accept the true bread of life, Jesus the Christ. Were it possible to distinguish, we nave prayeei tnus iar witn more commonplace requests, and now we are ready for this wonderful petition and the conforming of our very lives which is necessary when we pray in all sincerity. "Forgive us our tres passes as we forgive those who tres pass against us." Since we attained an accountable age, we have sinned and trespassed i against the Heavenly Father; e have outraged his infinite love and mercy, and have sinned and broken most of the commandments in the decalogue, so we now realize our ex treme undone condition and we come to the father with a petition for for giveness, and we clothe it in langu age. We must have forgiven those who have trespassed against us; we must have freely forgiven them even if we feel that they have deeply wronged them. If we have fully for given them, then we may pray with full faith that the Father thru Jesus Christ will in like manner forgive us. But, if we have retained a grudge in our hearts, if we have not fully for given them, then we are praying that God in his justice shall not forgive us. for we say "as we forgive our trespassors. in like manner forgive us." On the other hand, thru hav- ing forgiven them, we may expect that God in his mercy will likewise forgive us, and as we do this, we are,i:f t3 bv Rebal. Wescott and Buttery blessed and are being conformed to a subject fit to be indeed a thild of the Father and a brother of the Master. We say "Lead us, not into tempet tion, but deliver us from the evil one' or from evil in general, for they are both nearly the same. Neither the Father, Son or Holy Spirit tempt us to do evil, but as we are surrounded by temptation, it behooves us to pray save us from temptation. The surest way to keep from being tempted is to pray and pray in utmost faith. We cannot be like the young man who said he could go right past a saloon and not be tempted and so to illustrate his strength and power to overcome evil, marches rignt past tbe door, and then to compensate himself for the strength he had shown, he re turns and sets up the drinks to his- self and his follows. We must shun the very appearance of evil. When we pray "Lead us not into temptation," we must do all in our power to bring an immediate an swer to the prayer we utter, and we are not entitled to an answer to our prayers unless ae do what we can to bring about the answer ourselves. Man's extremity is God's opportun ity. Do not do like the birdling, with its yes fhut and it mouth open, by waiting for the worm, hut get a hus-i tie on ourselves and help hasten the coming of God's kingdom. TRIUMPHS OF GENTUS Had our farmers employed the same methods of towing and har vpsting 1926 wheat as were used 100 years ago, it would have requir ed the labor of our lir million peo ple for 9 months, and the labor of 50 million people in addition. By modern methods, the great crop was sowed and harvested by 3 or 4 mil lion farmers in a few months. Statistics also show that had our railroads used same methods of mov ing the great commerce of 192f. as were used, but 20 years ago, cost to producers, shippers and consumers would be o",o per cent greater, and because of shortage of cars and lack of facilities, much of it would still be unmoved in the warehouses or rot-' ting in the field. Just as our farmers met th situ-. ation by using modern methods and machinery, so our railroads met it hv providing additional facilities, in cluding larger engines and care to j haul more tonnage per train.

IT T 7 v Flushed with victory on Friday over Nebraska City, the Platters Sat- urday evening added another note-) to their string of victories when they, defeated the large and heavy quintet J of Beatrice on the local floor uy the decisive score of 37 to 26. The game was hard fought, every score being gained by real playing and battling throughout and the breaks not operating for the locals as several beautiful tries for goal by Rebal and Wescott were short by fractions of inches or trembled on the brink of the hoop and then rolled off. The Beatrice team was larger and heavier and their superior height gave them advantages in passing that however was more than equalled by; the hard fighting and guarding game that all of the locals played. The stellar features of the game was the guarding and agressive playing of Joe Butter, local guard and the looping of George Perry, center of the Platters, while Milbern, left for-! ward and Jackson, the substitute cen- ; ter of Beatrice featured the game. ! The game throughout was fntured by close guarding on both sides and a large array of fouls was taxed against both teams.

The whole local team showed the fighting spirit and Rebal, captain, by his fast and furious floor game added to the confusion of the Beatrice team and in which Smith, left guard also added a strong part.

Lincoln, Jan. 13. To Editor State Journal: In thin morning's Journal I notice tbis item under "Fifty Year Ago Today:" "A driving snowstorm set in late at night, covering the en tire state." ( January 15. 1S77.) I was a member of the fourteenth session of the legislature from Cass ccunty, adjourning over the week end. Monday morning I made a Ft art : f or Lincoln on foot, ten miles noutb. to Palmyra. I feared to take out my team as the boy might not get home facing this storm. I was four hours reaching Palmyra, expecting to pet a i freight train. This was annulled on (account of the storm. i Later a passenger was started from Nebraska City. It had to buck the drifts. Finally at 8 p. m. Monday . we heard that it was derailed near Syracuse in a drift. Tuesday noon ! it reached Palmyra, a double header deep cuts. In the afternoon we pass ed Bennet and tackled the drifts west of town. Another engine came up as a pusher, but at 8 p. m. it was de cided to back down to Bennet for the night. ; Wednesday, January 17, it was tried again and at a little after noon we came into Lincoln, j The session convened per adjourn ment with thirty-six house members absent, all excused on account of the storm. Tuesday each house voted separately for United States senator. Twenty-two candidates were voted for in the house, th largest vote, fif teen for Hitchcock for re-election. Thursday, January 18, 1S77, the fourth ballot was taken (thi:d joint) and ex-Governor Alvin Saunders was elected, receiving eighty-eight votes, with J. W. Savage receiving twenty five. i This was not all of the storm. Friday when we adjourned I was ill and at 8 p. m. some of my lriends thinking I was unable to get out in the storm left Lincoln via train and at Greenwood took a conveyance and drove to my home at about 4 a. m. and called for me, thinking tD take me in the carriage to Lincoln, but finding that I had left early Monday morning, drove away. My wife was ho frightened and as soon as it was light got the boy and 'a neighbor to go to Palmyra and the train all right and the train was still trying to get through to Lincoln. As there was no rapid communica- tinr thn rrv famUv waa vinn: f,r a time and I was "ignorant of their fear The press reported I was lost in the storm and perished, which was a false report. T. N.
