Phone No. 12 In a Plattsmouth home, where poli-I tics has been more or less the dom- 1 inant theme of discussion for some weeks, the young hopeful arose to ask Bible School 5m lay, December 18th Christian Standards cf Life Mark G:80-33; Jchn C:5-13. By taking a survey of the past, re freshing our minds, we will see how much better our conduct in actual life has become, what progress we : have made, how much nearer we 1 have come to our ideal, how much ' more we are like our Master; a three J months study should show some im- ; provement. or our time has been spent j in vain. Let us examine ourselves and see what progress we have made: Lesson I "Our Devotional Life." ' In our prayer life; in Bible reading i and study. Have we learned tow to i pray? Do we understand the ' model prayer?" Why we should pray? Is ! our yearning after God intensified? j Have we learned to know "our Fath er" better? Do we truly believe all Scripture to be the inspired word of God? Will we take the Bible as the only infallible guide of our faith and life? If so, we pass to Lesson II "Our Conduct in the Family." Do we fill our place as priest in the home, leading in the de votion at the family altar service? Do we, as parents, take the lead in going to the House of God? Do we take our children with U3. cr send them to chur h? Do we invite the Lord Jesus into cur home, and give him a chance to talk to our soul? Have we learned i to choose "the good part," to listen when the Lord speaks? Then we can go on to Lesson III "The Home and the Coming Generation." Can God say about us, "I have known him." like , He could about Abraham, that we will j train the youth, that they will "keep the way of Jehovah" and do right- , eousness and justice, and have the word of God upon their heart and bring the little ones to Jesus? Then take up Lesson IV "Problems of the Mod- ern Home." Will narrr.ts take such a stand as Joshua did, regardless of what others do; regardless of the jeers and sneers of the world, and s and four-square for God? Can we induce our children to follow our lead? Do we live so that we can have j the respect of our children, that they j will obey us? A God-centered home will solve the problem of this modern ! home. Lesson V "The Christian and Law j standing before the throne." We Observance." Do we recognize allclOe with autnority as ordained of God? Should ment? What brings man in conflict Wlta tne law? How can wo account for the violation of the prohibition laws, now uoes tne law of sowing j and reaping apply to character? ; Lessen VI "The Christian and " World Peace."

(Isa. 2:3-4). In Jesus Christ all men are one, belong to or-e family, all have actess in one spirit unto the father. In our way Lessen VII "Making a Living," the Christian knows that the unright- eous riches are often a curse. Wealth leads men to injustice: against the poor; to take and give bribes, and corrupt the judiciary. Jesus teaches that man is expected to use his abil - ity and increase his usefulness and be found faithful. God rewards faithful .service. Gcd is a good paymaster. Lesson VIII 'Stewartship of Mon- ey." Gcd gives to man and that puts man in debt to God. Has man a right to use his money as he pleases? Must he give an account to God for the way he spend: U. and for what he snends it ? Will man profit by withholding from God? He will have the appro bium cf being called a robber. (Mai. 3:8). Cheerful giving brings the blessing. Lesson IX "Stewardship of Life." This lesson teaches us the investment cf our life for God and his cause is the greatest man can make Proven by the example of those who made it. The called disciples, lsaian, omer prophets, Paul.

If the spirit of Jesus be in us, we will have no prejudice against those of other races or na tions. We believe in the brotherhood of man. "God hath made of one blood all nations of men." (Acts 17:26). Peter had to learn this lesson. On Pentecost, when sixteen nations were 'present, and heard Peter preach, 3,000 of those accepted cnrist ana Decade ... one in him. (Acts 2:46). David, in a vision, saw the beauty of harmony, when he wrote In Ps. 133:1: "Behold how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity." John saw in a vision (Rev. 7:9) "a zreat multitude ... of all nations , onri V?ndrrd and neonle and toneue.s. Lesson XI "The Christian's Usa Our leisure is as much as is cur work. "Whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the na of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God."

Nebraska counties are trimming the costs of county government by ingenious and penny-saving econ jomies. The depression and cries of than ever before. From tho trouble tome problem of caring for the coun ty wards to the routine task of order ing coal for the courthouse furnace, tho ever-present necessity of pinch ing pennies shows it3 influence. To begin with, 11 counties in the state voted to abolish the county farm bureau, thereby doing away with the necessity of a small appropriation which amounted to a few cents per person for maintenance of the coun-: ty agr-nt work. In most of these ccunties, however, the agent has been retained on a membership basis county beard to five members. S::h Economy Shortcuts. Eut those are bis items of economy. County f onimissioners in Nebraska aro locking to the little short cuts to cheaper county government. Jefferson, Cheyenne, Platte, Har- lan and many other counties have cr- idred telephones, with the exception one in the sheriff's office, taken oat. Itarlrn and Jefferson will re-. iu:re county officers to receive their i mail in one post office box rather Colfax county burns corn in the courthouse furnace. Furnas county commissioners serv ed notice on undertakers of the coun ty that after January 7, but $50 j wownd be allotted for the burial of paupers.

A plan to aid the unemployed cf the nation by giv ing them free college coureses along cultural and vocational lines was pre sented by Dr. William Mather Lewis, president of Lafayette College, East ern Penna.. newly elected president of the Middle States Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools at the forty-sixth annual convention held here recently. "The American college, which has been under fire, has an unexampled opportunity to prove its usefulnes I to society in these trying times," Dr. Lewis said. "It's professors, econom ics, sociology and government should devote much of their time to a study of present social and economic prob lems, to the end that the standard fo false values which led us into the present situation may be eliminated and a new deal be put in its place." Dr. Lewis held that colleges could help the situation by providing free instruction to unemployed men along cultural and vocational lines, thus increasing their productive possibili ties and at the same time maintain ing their morale. He said that more than 400 men were coming to Lafay ette College four afternoons each week for this work. Current interscholastic sport prac tices were criticized by Mr. Carl A. Jessen of Washington, D. C. special ist on secondary education of thoDe partment of Interior, in an addre.-s at the opening session of the con- Ivntion when he presnted the annual report of the National Survey of Sec ondary Education which has been ' in progress for several years.

They said that since the cancel ation at Omaha of the sales-in-transit privilege (the right to change owner ship of stock while in shipment, with out change in the thru rail rate) business had decreased while increas ing at Denver, where the privilege still is in effect. Van Amburg intro duced an exhibit which he said show ed that from January to Oc tober this year the fat lamb price at Omaha as cjmpared with the corresponding per iod last year, changed from a figure P7 cents higher than the price at Denver to one 7 cents lower.
