Bible School Sunday, January 31st Jesus Feeds the Multitude John 1:1-13; 48-51. The importance of this lesson is fhov.n by the fact that it is the only en? recorded by all four evangelists. After attending the feast at Jerusa lem (Jchn 5:1), at which time He heels the impotent man who had been si'k year?, reproving the Jews for thir unbelief. He goes up to Galilee. Jesus wpnt to the northeast of the s-f-a of Galilee, also railed the Sea of Tiberas, so named after a city built by Herod Antipas. which was named after the Roman emperor, Tibereus in the old testament call ed the Sea of Cinnereth; In new Testament times called the lake of .(;!inisar-f, after a plane to the west f;f the lake. After two weeks preaching and healing JeFU fels the need of rest, anrt ret ks the same in the mountain rang? east of the lake. But the multitudes- follow Him. They had seen the miracles performed on the sick and suffering. But there is no rest for the great Physician so long as there are sin-sick souls that - need Him. It is late afternoon, in a desert or iininhanited place. Seeing the mul titude. He is moved with compassion. He healed their sick until evening; now the desciples come and urge Him to send the people away. Not so Jesus! "Give ye them to eat." Math. 14:16). That is the Jesus way. He will not turn a hungry soul away. Her come the masses to our churches expecting to be fed with the living hread. and they receive a stone. How that must grieve the Lord, that the shepherds do not feed the flock. All kinds of "stories" are dished up to fill out the time and the sheep go away hungry, dissatisfied! The near passover feast accounts for the large audiences. These Gali leans are traveling in caravansrfor safety and coraradship. Philip he needs a lesson in faith: "Where can we find food for them?" Philip is practical, but materialistic. He finds out from Judas that there are only two hundred pennies in the treasury (about $34.00); bit there are 5,000 men and three times as snany women and children. That much money would not buy enough. The disciples are much worried. What woman would not be. if a large nuuber of guests she old ap Leo Switzer. jr.. of Nehawka, was a visitor in Murray for a short time on last Monday and was looking after some business matters while here. Business called Earl Lancaster and Will S. Smith to Union on last Mon day where they went to spend a short time with some of the merchants of that place. Mrs. Fred Beverage who is at the hospital in Omaha is reported as makins very satisfactory progress following the operation which she underwent last week. Lesson Study! By L. Neitzel pear about evening time, all tired and hungry? But Jesus is going to be host to this great company. He who feeds 1.600 million three times a day is not worried. Here comes Andrew, who found' a lad with a full lunch box; a prudent mother had filled it, who knew boyB are always hungry. He brings the boy to Jesus. (This moment wjll never be forgotten by this boy). Willingly he gives up all; a complete surrender is what God expects. The five flat little bar ley loaves (poor man's food) and two little dried fish are to furnish a banquet for some 20.000 hungry mouths. That is no problem for the Master. Order is necessary; they feme to order, the men on one side, in groups ,by fifties and hundreds wcraen and children on the other side; mothers and children together. The meal is prepared; it will not be served until the host returns thanks to the Giver. The Talmud says: "He that enioys ought without thanksgiv ing, is as though he robbed God" The multitude is fed and satisfied, and there are fragments left. "Gather them up." Jesus says; nothing must be wasted! Men do waste. F. W. Farrar says: "For the sin of all waste wasted money, wasted hours, wasted affection, wast ed health, wasted opportunities we must give an account." And this pa.3sage tells us something still that can be done, even for a wasted life. "The fragments of a life may be gathered up again." Although the men said: "This is of a truth that prepbet that should come into the world". (V. 14) the lesson that Jesus tried to teach them by this miracle was lost en them. The lesson for us is "that Jesus is the Bread of Life." He is the Manna come down from heaven. The Jews ate manna for forty years on their trip from Egypt to Canaan and died ; who partakes of this Bread of Life Jesus living: by faith in us rhall never die. He gives the ''abundant life" to them that have passed from death unto life. The "Bread" will satisfy and sustain- us until we come .to the rerge of Jordan and cross over into that promised land, where we will eat of the "Tree of Life" that grows 1b the paradise of our. God. "Bread of heaven, feed me 'till I want no more." Going cn Cach Basb Daap Frtontfs: , For a good many years we have extended credit to our customers and have always been glad to do so to those we believed worthy of this con venience. We are now practically the only stores in this vicinity that have continued to this time to extend credit privileges and we have hesitat ed to make this change in the con duct of our business, but we are now faced with the fact that we must adopt a new method of conducting our business if we are to continue to stay in business and to serve our cus tomers the same quality of merchan dise with unexcelled service at a fair and reasonable price. We are convinced that by elimi nating the waste and expense con nected with carrying charge accounts on our books we can continue to give our valued customers the same high grade merchandise at the lowest prices. We are therefore announcing that on and after February 1st, 1932, we will adopt an absolutely cash basis in our stores. We sincerely trust that the pleasant relations which we have enjoyed with our customers will con tinue in the future and that we may have the opportunity to prove to you that the new method of conducting our business will be a real benefit to you and will result in your saving many dollars during the coming year. We invite you to come in and com pare our new low prices. Sincerely thanking you for your business in the past and trusting that we may continue to merit your valued patronage in the future, We are Tutt A Brubacher Earl Lancaster Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Cisney, who have been farming in this community for a number of years departed a short time since for Coldrege where they will expect to farm the coming year.

The merchants of Murray have been revolving in their minds for some time the proposition of turning to a cash business entirely, and mak ing no charges. It is true that when a credit business is followed that there are sure to be some losses, be ing discriminating as one can well be, some bad accounts are sure to creep in. This causes a loss and if the business is to continue it makes the percentage of advance of the re tail price over the purchase price greater, and which the people who do pay, have to stand, otherwise the business will go down. The customer also is interested in the proposition. The ones who pay can get goods at a lower price where the cash system is in vogue. And again there are clients who pay and also need credit. and for this credit they are willing to pay a slight advance over what would be charged if all was cash. The matter has been considered and was to be decided this week for the change was to be made February 1st. Many Horses I)ying. There is reports of many horses dying in the vicinity of Murray, How ard Porter having some three that died and as it is not known what the cause is, there is much concern regarding the matter.
