SUSIE IS FIXED From Wednesday's Dally Yesterday afternoon in the county j court was heard the complaint filed against Miss Susie Sponge of Omaha, who was arrested here on Monday afternoon and charged with intoxi cation. In addition to the first charge that was preferred against her, the young lady was charged with a sec ond offense, that of driving a motor vehicle while intoxicated and which carries a heavier fine and penalty. On Monday evening Miss Sponge had announced her intention of pleading not guilty, but when the case came up for hearing yesterday, she had changed her mind and entered a plea of guilty and threw herself on the mercy of the court. Judge Duxbury after considering the evidence gave a fine of $50 and costs for the offense and as the young lady lacked a great deal of having the amount needed to settle the claim of outraged justice, she was remanded to the custody of Sheriff Bert Reed and escorted to the county jail to reside until the amount of the fine and costs are settled. The two companions of Miss Sponge who returned to Omaha on Monday afternoon have so far failed to appear on the scene and assist their friend in regaining her liberty. HOLD FINE MEETING From Wednesday's Pally The Social Workers of the Meth odist church held a very pleasant meeting yesterday afternoon at the home of Mrs. W. A. Wells and with a very pleasing number of the ladies !jn attendance.

The ladies also enjoyed a short talk by Mrs. Sylvester on the dis trict work of the T . T. C. U. and which was followed with the great est of interest by the ladies.

Kaufman Scheming Jews Set a Trap During the years since the flood destroyed the world and the wicked inhabitants thereof, and mankind was( given a new start, the seed oi sin implanted in the blood of the human race, again caused the world to be come corrupt, and the people who did sin were greater in number than those who did not. Corruption was to be seen on every hand and sin ran ram pant through the land. The Jewish religion was a mere form and was a covering for a multi tude of sins, and the temple worship was more of a monej'making scheme than it was to truly worship God. The temple at Jerusalem was poluted by the traffic which existed there, so much so that the Master referred to it as a den of robbers, and which it truly was. for did they not fleece all who came from a distance and with' other money than the Temple Sheek-j el, when they transformed the money of the other country into that which had to be used in the payment of the temple dues. Then again when they sold doves, pigeons and lambs for sac rificial purposes, they exacted exorbi tant prices, and thus were enriched by the profit which accrued unto all connected with the temple. Even the priests kept farms in the near neigh borhood of Jerusalem, that they might supply kids, lambs, pigeons and doves for the sacrifices at rates that were indeed robbery. When the Master came teaching justice and that one should treat an other just as he would be treated. they did not like it for it was, as they could see, the beginning of the end of their corrupt practices. So. therefore, they sought to get hold of the Master on some pretext' and to! slAnito thp npitnb from him who i had been gathering in great muiti- tudes to hear him. They therefore sent unto him a number of Herodians and Pharisees' that they might entrap him in his; answers to their queries. A Question of, Loyalty . They had cunningly devised a ques- ( tion which they thought would cause' him to either antagonise the people, the government or deny his loyalty? to the Heavenly Father, and theyj asked him: "Is it lawful to give trib- ute unto Ceasar?" continuing, "We j know that thou art a teacher who, rarest not for man. nor his opinion,; but teachest the way of God truly,! and we want to know your opinion; on this quesion, and we will know it will be right." i Discerning their intentions, Jesus, asked of them: "Why do you make, trial of me?" Show me a Denarius piece of money probably worth about j sixteen rents). So they went for the piece of money in which the taxes, - f-i .AiintV1 Y ni oris) ti Ti n c. I ing it unto the Master, they desired to know. "Shall we pay or not pay?" Looking at the coin, the Master I plainly read on the obverse side, "Ti-j berius Ceasar, Divi Agusti filius Au-j gustus Imperator," which means in i English. "Tiberius Ceasar, the august ! son of the divine Augustus Emperor." j Then to make them show their de-: signs, he asked them, "Whose image i 2nd superscription are these?" for the head of the Emperor was on the front side of the coin. When they had an swered, Christ said now get this plainly "Render unto Ceasar the things which are Ceasar's. and unto God the things which are God's." Loyalty to the Government For had not Christ in another place in the Bible said. "Be subservient to, your masters; be loyal to the govern ment under which you live and which, guarantees you a home, an opportun-l ity to make a living and be secure in ( your lives, your family and your prop-ertj-." This you are expected to do now. He also meant that you should render unto God his dues, which is a reasonable sacrifice, for he has made the world and supplied it with all tilings which are good for our wel fare, and supplied us with every good and perfect thing. When we were disobedient and wandered away from the things that ! he had commanded of us, he gave his. son, the very Christ, to redeem us, and for all these blessings, we are ex- pected to be loyal, in every way, to ( tne f atner ana ton, ana De guiaea Dy the Holy Spirit. The people at that time in order to create a feeling against the Master,1 had sought to place before him a! question that would either allienatel him from the government or from the . people, but he showed that the two' were in accord, for the service and homage which one pays to God, the Father, includes loyalty also to the government of which you are a part. They Try Another Lead Then tbey seek to entrap him in another way, when they raise a ques tion of eternal life, and the Master says unto them, "The first and great est commandment is 'Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind and with all thy strength, and the second is like unto it, 'Thou must love thy neighbor as thyself.' " The one who had asked this of Jesus said, "Of a truth, teacher, thou hast well said that he is one. and there is none other but he, and to love him with all thy heart, with all thy soul and with all thy understanding and all thy strength and. to love thy neigh bor as thyself, is more than all the burnt offerings and sacrifices." And Christ then said to this questioner, "Thou art not far from the kingdom of heaven."

Then did the Master illustrate in the parable of the Good Samaritan, saying:, in substance: There was a certain traveler on a journey, groin?: from Jerusalem to Jeriro. and he fell among thieves (and by the way. even unto this day, the same road is in fested with a cruel, heartless gang of robbers who do not stop at murder to commit their robberies, and we might find some of the like even in our land, who ply their business, some times as highwaymen and at other times as smooth traders and in many other ways). These robbers of that time robbed this traveler to the ut most, even taking his clothing, and after bf-ating; him, left his lying at the roadside half dead. As he lay there in th" mountain passes on this cold night, he was about to perish, when along came a levite, whose duty it was to serve in the temple, and when the wounded man asked for help, he passed by on the other side, and was fallowed by a priest, whose offices required that he should render succor, but he like wise turned a deaf ear to the appeals and passed by on the other side, as well. These two were expected to have compassion and mercy, but they did not. Then came along a Samaritan, and who was an enemy of the Jews, and he was likewise in the act of pass ing by on the other side, when he thought. "Well, is this not my broth er?" So he returned and made the man as comfortable as possible, and taking off his cloak, wrapped it about him, placing him on his own burro and carried him to an inn. where he charged the landlord to care for the stranger, and paid him for what he thought the service would be worth, saying to the landlord. "Whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay you." The question was which of these was neighbor to him that fell among the thieves. The answer was quick in coming. "The one who had mercy." Then did Christ say, "Go, thou, and do likewise."
