Peter Did Not Know. During the night in which the things which are to be considered in this lesson we have three scenes, the first in the upper charmber, where Christ washed the disciples feet, prayed for them, that they might be kept from harm, and from their very selves, for they did not and would not understand. The second was in the garden, a3 we studied in last Sunday's lesson, where He, with the disciples went to the favorite meeting place , the gar den of Gethsemene, and where He prayed to the Father, and where He was arrested, and taken to the judg ment hall. We have studied what Shenandoah, la., June 6. Far from backing down on his project to get 100,000 farmers in Kansas City to impress republican leaders with the necessity of getting farm relief, atMhHpii of Wbraska wound up a radio address over KFNF happened at the upper chamber, and at nnnn Tnpsdav bv raising the ante also a portion of what 50.000, declaring in his peroration: j the garden, when He "Let 150.000 farmers descend on : Father, and said "Thy the meetings of the Royal Neighbors j Kansas City next Tuesday, a week and every year an election was held i from today.

With the lapse of the quarter of a century, it has stood the gnawing of the insatiate tooth of time in a heroic way. True the exterior which was j painted white and a good piece of i work done it, has become dulled. and looks the part of its age. The interior has also shown the ravages of the years, and has demanded some attention, and kept on demanding until recently, the board of man agers of the building have listened and are making the home like new. They have secured Jess Chambers and with his paint pot, his brush and his skilled hands, is transform ing the appearance of the delapidat ed old building into a place of beauty ;:n.l as the ytars come and go will serve the people of Murray and vi cinity as it has in the pa?t. The building besides doing duty as a meeting place for the various orders and the holding of election, served Uncle B. A. Root as a dwell ing for a time following the fire which consumed many business hous es in the last year, as well as his home, untii I he purchased a nw home at York, and moved from the city. Many interesting remem brances of the building and its fes tivities are recalled by the peo ple of Murray and vicinity. Doesn't Plan Coxey Stunt. j When the governor arrived in Shenandoah, he was plied with ques tions as to whether he was growing cold on his farmer army project, be cause of statements he made in Lin coln Monday that "there will be no caravan." "Certainly not," said the gover nor. "I never meant it to be a Coxey's army, with ' myself as the general. I never entertained an idea of the farmers' meeting outside of Kansas City and marching on the convention demanding their plank and candidate." And in his radio address he ex plained further. Would Inspire Fear. "If a multitude of farmers will jut drop in on Kansas City next wee." he declare.! on the air from the "friendly farmers" station, "they will find the republican delegates the mo?t obliging group men ever gathered together in on" place.

The little Miss is twelve years of age, and was expecting to go to Omaha for a visit with friends. the accident preventing her enjoying the visit. A. Gansemer who was over to St. Louis last week, having a car load of hogs on the market there, and re maining for a few days, also stop ping in Kansas City for a couple of days, returned home last Wednesday morning, and immediately hopped into the work at the elevator, which was plenty busy, and with the over work was not feeling the very best the fore part of this week. Visited a Specialist. Mr. and Mrs. W. L. Seybolt were in Omaha on last Monday and again on Tuesday, where they went to con sult a specialist regarding the con dition of the ears of Mrs. Seybolt. which have been giving' this excellent lady much trouble of late. The diag nosis was to the effect that both ears were in a way affected and would have to be treated, to bring about a cure.

' Dear Murrayites: Well, folks I hope this finds all of you fat, sassy and happy. This is just a little note to let you know that Mrs. Taylor, the kiddies and myself although we are home. As my work of holding poultry and swine clinics take me all over the state of Ohio and one trip thri' New York, New Jersey and Pennsyl vania with a stop over in Canada. I get to see a lot of farming country and as a result of comparison I think more highly of Cass county with every day. The wheat crop in Ohio will be very light this year, being winter killed. Kverybody is busy with corn now. So far the prospects look for a good corn crop. I saw several fields up today. Thru this section they raise a lot of potatoes and to bacco. All I can say for these last two, is that they don't interest me frr there is too much live work and I can't get a saddle on the hoe han dle. Then- is one thing I wish you would all do for us and that is when Priggs is on his sojourns for news for the Journal, stops to ask you for news, just imagine you are sending a note to old Doc Taylor and family and tell him all you know and more too, for we surely enjoy the local news from home. Nothing would give us more pleas ure than hearing: from each one of you and if by chance any of you in a trip this summer get near us and don't hunt Us up well it will be I just too bad. We can bp found at 22 Berkley Place. Columbus, Ohio. u any ot you have been able to read this note thru to this line you will see we are wishing you the best of luck and happiness. DR. G. L.

The proposal to have i'airners go to Kansas City on June 12 has been ridiculed iA over the country, the govern'-r said over the radio. lie decialed. however, that those who ridiculed th- plan were these who did not favor agricultural equality. "This idea is neither hysteria nor pure emotion on the part of some man or men. as some persons have tried to make not,' said Governor McMullen. "It is a practical thing. It offers a way by which the farmers can bring rial pressure to bear on the republican leaders and on the men who will write the party plat form. Duty of Farmers. "The presence of the farmers will prove to these leaders that unless ag riculture is si ven recognition in the party platform and in the persons of ihe party nominee the success of the republican party will be peopar dize,!. "The visit to Kansas City will only take a few days, it i a duty the f .i7iev f.vo to tin :n.- lvos and to the countrv as a whole. Let tens thousands of farinets go fitv ii. vt week and demand eeonoini emialitv 'with other thev will tret it. ers know the farmer is in earnest and that be knows what he wants, he will get it.. I am confident that, if a multitude of farmers go to Kan sas City next week the republican nominee will be a western man in full svmpathy with agriculture and that the platform will contain a real farm relief plank." He reviewed the McNary-Haugen bill, and declared both republican and democratic conventions of inrluileil farm relief planks in platforms. "The republican party," he taid, "has been in power for thre years, and there is no farm relief. No won der the farmers have lost their faith in party platforms. For this reason it is far more important that a man in sympathy with the farmers be nominated, than it is to get the defin ite farm relief plank, although we should have both." North Dakotans to Go. : Again and again the governor urged the farmers to leave their fields and labor and descend upon Kansas City by thousands. That city, he saidfi will throw out its arms to , greet, them. He described it as "an opportunity of a lifetime" for the farmers, one j est thev should grasp with both hands. He said that he had just received word that Governor A. G. Sorlie of North Dakota will leave Saturday with 300 autos loaded with farmers, for Kansas City, by way of Omaha. Omaha Bee-News. 10 the occurred in prayed to the will be done." Following this the soldiers came when he disciples were asleep, and were awakened by the Master. Be fore we consider the action of Judas, let us take a glance at Peter, and the others, and esDeciallv James and John, whom the Master had named "Sons of Thunder" and see how they conducted themselves that night. Peter in the upper chamber, said, "Altho all the world shal forsake Thee, yet will I not forsake Thee." And so said they all. Still during that very night all denied Him, and fled when the crucical moment came. True Peter was ready to fight man or devil, but the tapering finger of a girl was too much for him. He de nied the Muster of ocean and earth and skies, and while Peter thought he did know and understand, he was not strong enough for the tasks which were to be his urtil he was couve.ted after the resurrection of the Lord. j The Treacherous ICiss. i An open enemy is not the worst thing in the world, and Theodore Roosevelt said. Death is not the worst thing in this world, death before dishoror. The enemy with a just cause for being so. is not the worst thing, but the one who pretends to he your triend rnd posts as rn hon orable man, and still is always try 'ng to do some skervy trick behind ones back, is worse than an open enemy. A copperhead. and we have them against, the government,; acairrt the law. and against the' chinch. The ehureh which teaches love, justice, right and honesty, with ; the maxim of doing to another as , you would have one do to you. and , a member of that organization, who practices deceipt, and is working one way while be pretends to be working anotlu-r i? a hypocrite, and is a dis grace to not only alone the church but to all humanity. This was Judas Iscariot, and we are in possession of a large number at this time, in- grates and traitors to the country i which makes a home for them and 'their families, we came near saying loved ones, but does such a person love even bis family, or is he sel-j fieh to that point where no love can dwell in his mind? Judast who was a member of the little band went ;out in the night and sold the Master I for a few paltry pieces of silver. Then in the diikness, before the com- ing of the day, came and betrayed, the Master with a kiss, kissing Him,' and saying. Hail Master, could such a man think that the Master and all heaven and earth would not. know. - The Majesty of Christ. J j Then came the soldiers with thei oH'iCe'-c and as they were in their J 'march, they tame to the garden, andj ' as they halted in front of the Mas- ' ter who was coining to meet them.! ! He said, whom seekest them, and, , they said, "Jesus of Nazareth, and ) replying the Master said 1 Am lie, i at which the majesty of the Son of God, the very declaration was with ; such power that they were thrown' backwards when they knew that they the Lord of lieaven and , The Nebraska City Building & Loan Association it judgment hall and given a trial? will be noticed that we place a mark at the ending of the former sentence, and why? It is impossible for finite man to try infinity. They were trying themselves and never knew it, for when they were weighed in the hallance they were found wanting. So the world is attempting to try issues, character Chris tainity. and are being tried them selves all the time. When they do this they are not putting Christ-j ianity to a test they are only testing j themselves and finding that they are: not equal to the task which they have set for themselves. ! In the Garden. When the Master was wre.;liing with the great problem of the salva tion of the world, he was gripping with the things which he told the disciples they must also meet in the days to come. The problems must come to us all, and ?.s Mr?. Ella Wheeler Wilcox. In Gethsemene, we must met t the issues, she said: "In goMen ycuth when seems the eiirth A summer land of sing ing mirth. When souls are glad, and hearts are light. And not a shadow lurks in sight. We do not know it, but there lies Somewhere veiled under evening skies A garden which we all must sec The garden of Gethsemane. But if we follow the advice of John i Clements when he said: Avails it whether bare or shod. ; These feet the paths of I duty shed. !

I could command legions of angles, and they would make it impossible for any harm to come to me. However, he went subservient, to the law which he came to fulfill. With the arrest all the disciples fled, evently terror stricken, and only followed a lone; way off to the judgment, but did not enter that, for they stayed in the court, which was an open place with a fire burning and around which the people- were standing and warm ing themselves for it was very cool, and it was nearing morning, the cool- portion of the day. Peter Denied the Master. When Peter was admitted into the inclosure. he was met by a damsel who said "Thou wert with the Gal laleean. and Peter immediately de j nied the fact, and sought to get away from her presence, and then he was accused by another and likewise he denied and in order to make it mere emphatic cursed and said, I never met him. Adding a lie to his denial for when one takes one step in the wrong direction another one is easy to take. The third time also he denied the Master and this with many oaths, and as he did so. the Cock crew, and he was reminded of what the Master had said in the upper chamber, and he went out and wept bitterly, for he had in a way discovered himself and found that the trial that night had found one guilty man and that was himself. !
