(1) The (Political Advcrtuins) R TMENT. Lamb of the Passover (a) without! blemish, perfect; (b) a year old, in the strength of youth; (c) a male, denoting power. (2) The Lamb slain as seen by Isaiah 53:7, "as a lamb brought to the slaughter;" also seen in Rev. 5:6, "stood a lamb as it had been slain" and by his sacrificial death "hath redeemed us unto God by his blood." (3) Seen by John the Baptist, as he cries (John 1:29), "Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world." This was typified in the feast of Atonement (Liv. 16:7-10) the scape goat. (4) Jesus was without sin. (John S:46). "Which of you con vinced me of sin?" He never yield ed to temptation, although "He was tempted in all points like as we are, yet without sin. (Heb. 4:15.) (5) The brazen serpent. (Num. 21:9.) Sin was brought into the world by the serpent; the antidote is the lifted up Christ. (John 3:14-17) "My faith looks up to thee." (6) A perfect man could redeem sinful men. Jesus Christ was perfect. "God made the captain of our salvation perfect thru suffering." (Heb. 2:10.) Though he were a son, yet learned he obeuience by the things which he suffered and being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all that obey him." (Hob. 5:S. ) "And the third day I shall be perfected" after his resurrection (Luke. 13:32.) (7) By tho full surrender to the will of God in Gethsemane when Jesus said, "I drink it." (Math. 2G:42.) When the struggle became so fierce that "His sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling to the ground." (Luc. 24:44.) By the complete sur render of his will to the will of the Father "We are satisfied through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all." (Heb. 10:10.) (8) As High Priest, typified by Melchesidek. (Hcb. 7:1.) The Livitical priesthood was not pertect, hence God annulled the old form (Heb. 7:1S) and brought in a new order of things. The law made nothing perfect, but the bring ing in of a better hope did." (Hob. 7:19.) The new order is unchange able. (Heb. 7:24.) Jesus Christ, as High Priest, entered into the Holy of Holies, not with the blood of goats or calves, "but with his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us." (Heb. 9:12.) For such an High Priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undented, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens." (Heb. 7:26.) Jesus paid it all; believing on his name inspires hope and by this hope "we have an anchor for the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which entered into that within the veil." (Heb. 6:19.) All this work of Jesus Christ was wrought in that midnight hour of which the four gospels speak: Matt. 26:36-46; Mark 14:32-42; Luke 22:-31-4 6; John IS: 1-2. Of this hour Jesus could truly say, ' But this i3 your hour and the pow er of darkness." (Luke 22:53.) In this hour all the fury of hell was concentrated on Jesus Christ. In this hour he craved human sympathy, asking the three disciples to watch with him. Suffering in spirit as, he did. "He offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto Him that was able to save him from death." (Heb. 5:7.) Here he gave up his life, satisfying the demands of the law. Nov.- God can pardon the sinner, who accepts Jesus Christ as his Savior, since God accepted the sacrifice of hi3 Son for the sins of the world. God is reconciled: man is restored to the favor of God. Therefore, being justified by faith, we have peace with God, through our Lord. Jesus Christ." (Rev. 5:1). What a marvelous change! God reconciling the world to himself. "God so loved the world that he gave up His Son." It was in a garden Eden that man lost paradise; it was in a gar den Gethsemane that paradise was regained. (The End.) L. NEITZEL.

Even from his early youth, his was a life of responsibility. Before he was ten years old, his mother passed away leaving four children of which Harry was the oldest, and thus the one to whom most of the responsibilities of the home fell. As the years went by these domestic responsibilities in creased and at 16 it became neces sary for him to take over the entire care and responsibility of the home. His fattier, prior to his death a few years ago, lived with him for many years and was entirely dependent upon him. All of these responsibil ities were willingly assumed and faithfully fulfilled. Forty-two years ago. on Nov. 22, 1SS7, he married Miss Hannah Jones. Six children were born to bless this home. He or me to Murdock as one of the pioneers in 1892, almost thirty-nine years ago. Upon his arrival he es tablished himself in the drug store business, which he was still carry ing on at the time of his death. Dur ing all these years he took an active part in the affairs of the commun ity. Hp saw it develop from the raw prairie stages into its present pros perous condition and his going takes from the community one of her first residents. Mr. McDonald was G4 years, 11 months and 12 days old. at the time of his death on Sunday morning, July 20, 1930. One sister, Mr?. Viva Scott, and one son, Merle, ( proceed ed him in death.

The affair was planned and arranged by their youngest daughter. Miss Alma Scheel, who has a position at the Hotel Paxton, in Omaha. Much to the disappointment of the family, not all the members could be present, but a most enjoyable time was fpent to gether by those who found it possible to attend. A beautiful birthday cake was abked by Mrs. Frank Hart, a daugh ter who lives in Red Oak, Iowa, and Mr. and Mrs. Hart also brought along some delicious ice cream from the ice cream factory of their city.

Roads Ordered to Cut Charges from the West General Reduction to Principal Sea ports in Effect October 1 Aids Nebraska Territory Washington A general reduction in grain rates thruout western terri tory to principal seaports was order ed Friday by the interstate com merce commission, to become effec tive Oct. 1. Members cf the commis sion estimated the application of the new schedules would reduce earn ings of western railroads by $15, 000,000 or more per annum, but that some of this had beeu compensated for by recently granted increases in classified freight rates. A new method of making sched ules, described as "the rate brerk basis" was prescribed for the rail roads to follow. This rate form was sought by the business interests of nearly all the great western pri mary grain market cities. Under the new system one rate will apply on wheat, and other grain and grain products such as flour and meal. The commission considered proposals to establish a system cf export rsU'S definitely lower than the schedules applying to domestic shipments, but rejected it and left the present rela tionship between export and domestic rates substantially unchanged. Some Wheat Hates Higher. While on the whole substantial reductions are expected to result from the application of the decision, some wheat rates from North Da kota were increased, as were rates on other types cf grain from North Da kota and Minnesota to principal mar kets. The findings were entered at the conclusion of a special investigation instituted after the ndopiion of the Hock-Smith congressional resolution ordering the commission to apply the lowest rates to products of agri culture affected by depression, but the decision was careful to state that its findings resulted from an en deavor to perform its general duty of prescribing reasonable rates. It added that the exsct consequence; of its new schedules were imps"ibl- to foretell in advance, and that in the light of increased revenues al ready granted in certain other oases" to western railroads the grain reduc tions "will not threaten the main tenance of an ade-iuate system of transportation." Schedules Aro Complex. In view of the general commer cial practice of shinning grain on transit arrangements, by which they are converted into hour or meal vvnile1 technically moving under a single rate, the rate schedules provided were extraordinarily complex. In considering the rejection of the proposal to place export freight rates on wheat and products at points 15 per cent or more lower than domestic rates for the same movement. Com missioner Lwis. with the concur rence cf Commissioner Tate, argued that the position of the nation as a "surplus producer of grain, particu larJv wheat," required this. Notwithstanding, he said, the "more equitable ratf structure" created by the finding cf th com mission majority deserved support, tho he add' d that "a survev of spe cific rates reveals cuts of 20, HO, 50 or even CO percent in the present charges," which would bear severely on "some of the carriers which are not at this time in a position to stand such reductions." Specific Rates Announced. Fixing specific export rates the order prescribed 2? cents per hun dred pounds from Kansas City r.nd Omaha to Montreal against a pres ent rate cf 31 A cents; to Baltimore from Omaha and Kansas City a rate of 21 cents against present rates of "8: from Omaha to New Orleans the present rate ot 24.5 cents was made 27 cents; and from Kansas City to the same destination the prepnt rate of 23.5 will become 21; fr--m St. Louis to Baltimore the new rnto will be 22 cents against Orleans 14 cetns against a present rate of 11; Chicago to Baltimore will become 1C cents against 21; from contra? Illinois to Baltimore will broom 27.5 cents against "2.5 now cdmrged: and to New Orleans the new rate will be 25.5 against 22.5 cents. No orders were entered in refer ence to grain shipment -i from the l"ke boats via Buffalo to north At lantic ports for export. From Mon tana territory export and domestic rates on wheat were left at identical levels. Some cf th; New Figures. Some of the specific new rates in more important wheat producing and handling territory as compared with existing schedules were laid down by the decisions as follows: To Minneapolis from Sioux City S.5 cents against 16.5; from Omaha 11.5 cents against 1G.5; from Kansas City 15.5 cents against 17.5. To Chicago from Minneapolis 11 cents against 13; from Sioux City 15 cents against 17.5; from Omaha 15 cents against 17.5 and from Kan sas City 15 cents against 17.5. To St. Louis from Sioux City Id cents against 15; from Cmaha 13 cents against 3.5; and from Kansas City 9 cents against 13.5. To Memphis from Kansas City 16 cents against 24; from St. Louis 9 cents against 11.5. Among export rates a charge of 21 cents was fixed from Kansas City to Texas ports known as "Group 3" against a present charge of 23.5: while from Omaha to the same points the new rate was fixed at 27 cents against the present rate of 24.5. Frcm Colorado to the Missouri river a general figure cf 2 8 cents was fixed for grain shipment; as compared with the existing charge of 33 cents. To Chicago from Iowa grain rates were altered only in minute degree, both increases and reductions re sulting, and the same was true of Iowa shipments to Minneapolis, tho a number of reuuctions in lowa gram rates to Omaha, St. Louis and Kan sas City were indicated, averaging between 5 and 10 percent of pres- nt schedules. From Kansas points to Chicago Among 30 cents reduetiors were general, these were a new rate of from Wichita against a present rate f 35.5; 33 cents from I odge against 3S; and 2 1 cents from Okithe- against 97 Shipments from Kansas points to" Kansas City were likewise given gen eral reductions, the new schedule from Olathe being 7 cents agaii.st 9.5; from Wichita 15 cents against 18, and from Dc-dge City IS cents against 20.5.

Stheehan were shelling and de livering corn to the elevator in Man ley on last Monday. R. Bergman was called to Omaha lat Tuesday to look after some busi-n-s5 matters which means more goods for the store. Herman Rauth threshed and de livered his small grain during the past week and is now ready for the later summer farming work. Herman Dall and the family were looking after some business matters at Murdock for a short time on last Wednesday, they driving over in their auto. Andrew Schliefert and wife were over to Omaha on last Monday even ing, wherj they enjoyed the show v.hkb is put on under the auspices of the Ak-Sar-Ben. Fred Flaischnian and the good wife were over to Omaha on last Mr-".day evening, whore they attend ed the play incident to the amuse ment nights which the Ak-Sar-Ben sets aside for residents of the differ ent counties. Among those attending the show at tho Ak-Sr.r-Ben den at Omaha on last Monday evening were Rudolph rergman and wife. A. Steinkamp, Joseph Wclpert, Harold Krecklow, Verne Rockwell, Walter O'Brien and wife. George ar.el Henry Vogler, Ted dy Harris. Oris and Arnold Sehli' fert, Eli Keckler, William, John and Joe Sc heehan. Art is long aiid time is fleeting, ;;s wa;. proved that the motion of the hand is qui ker than the eye. for at the Ak-Sar-Ben there was arranged a ?(reen which was almost invisible, but still there just the same, and when one walked into it, there was something doing. Anyhow, a coup le of the visitors from Manley are minus a piece of skin from th ir noses because they did not see the screen in time. Threshing is nearly completed in this vicinity with fair returns no exceedingly large yields reported and ro very small ones just a good, sat isfactory yield from most fields. The rain of last Sunday caused a heavy selling of the reserve corn and con sequently good receipts were in order for a da- or two. While there are still a few lots of corn in the farm ers' hands, the amount of old crop ren.aining in the country is small, and v. ill probably be put onto the market pretty slowly from now on. Award Contract fcr School T. J. Jamison, of Lincoln, the sue cessful bidden on the erection of the new school building in Manley. was here a few days ago and entered in to a contract with the Manley lumber yard, conducted by Crane, Curyea A: Murtey. and managed by John Crane, for furnishing the material used in the erection of the building. The school board is contemplating the purchase of some more land for school grounds, but nothing definite has been done as yet. Many Attend Ak-Sar-Ben There was a large crowd from Manley at the den at Omaha on last Monday evening, with some eighty tickets provided in the beginning, and still a demand when all were gone. It looks like the Ak-Sar-Ben has no cause to complain the way Manley and vicinity treated them. There were many who were there with their wives as the practice of entertaining the ladies was institut ed with thi3 year. Meets vdth Accident While Herman Dall was returning from a trip which his business f ailed him to Omaha, and was north of Louisville, a number of miles, his ear struck n pile of loose gravel that caused it to skid and strike a road machine. The car was overturned, doing some damage to the car and injuring Mr. Dall more or less. He was abie to get on home, but has rince been feeling pretty sore from the numerous bruises and sprains which he sustained. Played a Nifty Game At the Manley ball park on last Sunday was gathered a goodly num ber of the Manley baseball fans and sure nearly everyone here is a dyed-in-the-wool baseball fan, for the pur pose of enjoying the very fine game which was played between Manley and Louisville.
