"Jesus Asserts His Kinship"
Mark 11:1-10; 15-18.
The older classes' will study the
entire chapter, considering the var
ious claims upon us that are made by
Christ as King his claim to our
possessions, to our fruitbearing, to
our allegiance, to our joyful grati
tude, and to our purity of lives.
Study also what the Kingship of
Christ should mean in the national
and world relation as well as in our
individual lives. Time Sunday to
Tuesday, the last week of our Lord's
earthly life. Intervening events are
opening the eyes of Bafrtimoeus and
another blind man, at Jericho; then
his visit at Zachaeus home, where
we witness the repentance, confes
sion and reformation of this publi
can. It is one of the moving events
in the Bible. Christ's visit In Beth
any, in the home cf Martha, the an
nointing by Mary, the resentment of
Judas.
I The taking of the colt. The
shades of night were rapidly gather
ing around our Redeemer, but before
the blackness of darkness came upon
him, he allowed the light of glory to
shine for a brief time, that hi3 fol
lowers might have a glimpse cf the
rplendor to come, and remember it
during the sorrowful days ahead of
them.
When they drew nigh unto Jeru
salem. Jesus sent two disciples to
procure a celt for him, to ride into
Jerusalem. The Mount cf Olives, ly
ing directly cast cf Jerusalem, a hill
with fcur peaks, attains at its high
est pcint a height cf 2,723 feet above
tea level and about 200 feet above
the ground on which the temple
stood. The disciples got the colt, the
objection of the owners being met by
saying what Jesus had told them to
say: "The Lord hath need of him."
Thus the Lord hath need of every
Boy and girl, man and woman; there
is a place for every one. Christ has
cs much need of us, as we have of
Ilim. Christ commissioned men to
"Go" and teach all nations; he laid
the foundation, we are the builders.
"Loose him, and bring him" is an
other injunction. The colt had to be
untied and brought to Jesus. That is
tha work of the Sunday school teach
er; to teach the word of God, which
ha3 power to make men see their lost
condition and bring them to Jesus,
who will pardon and save. It Is but
a borrowed colt; Jesus had no earthly
possessions. He laid claim to a bit of
property for his use, and asserting
hlA kingship in the realm of material
tallies,. was ready for-
II The triumphal entry. So they
place Jesus on the colt and the pro
fession is en the way. Many spread
their outsr garments cn the ground.
Lawrence Nelson, son of Thomas
Nelson, who makes his home in Om
aha, with a number of friends, were

Churcii at Murray, Nebr.
Minister: C. Loyd Shubert.
Sunday school attendance, 63; one
year ago, 64. Morning worship, 40;
evening worship, 50; Senior Chris-
others strew branches from the palm
and olive trees along the route over
which he .rode. .- The .multitude of
passover pilgrims had large number's
of those whom Jesus had healed, and
they were shouting his praise. A
children's chorus sang loud Hosan
nas and there was great rejoicing. It
was one glad hour in Jesus' life.
It was the last time he offered
himself to his people as their king.
"He came unto his own, and his own
received him not." This is the tes
timony of an eyewitness John. How
capricious, inconsistent a crowd can
be and often is. Is seen in this case.
Five days later they cry, "Crucify
him." Mankind has not changed a
great deal since that day.
Ill The cleaning of the temple.
This is the second time Jesus did
this. In the first year of his minis
try, he made a scourge and drove
them all out cf the temple and said:
"Make not my Father's house an
house of merchandise." (John 2:13
16). All that had been forgotten,
but he reminded them what the tem
ple is for. It would seem that It is
high time Christ would come and
clean out some places that are call
ed churches, but were anything but
places where worship to God is of
fered. We could never be enthused
for a kitchen under a church why
not build an extra hall?
Here is where Paul's injunction to
the Corinthians finds its place. We
read (I Cor. 3:16-17) "Know ye not
that ye are the temple of God and
that the spirit cf God dwelleth in
you? If any man defile the temple
of God, him shall God destroy; for
the temple of God is holy, which tem
ple ye are." It Is astonishing how
men do defile their bodies and many
pese as Christians. The use of nar
cotics, liquor, tobacco and stimulants
do not belong in the temple of God
man. Even ministers of the Gospel
will indulge in these filthy things.
Paul says "him shall God destroy."
God does not accept a half-hearted
service. Jesus said, "Thou shalt love
the Lord, thy God, with all thy
heart, and with all thy soul, and
with all thy mind." (Math. 22:37).
As King he will have only a loyal
membership, that will net divide
their time, talents and possessions
with another Only the pure in heart
shall see God. "Ye are not your own
(to do as" you please), for ye are
bought with a price." (I Cor. 6:19,
20).
Jesus died for adhering to his
claim to be a King. The dominion
that he lays claim to is the world of
man's spirit both here and in eter
nity. He does claim the Kingship ef
the spirit of man, and the recogni
tion of this is vital to Christianity.

evening very pleasantly. The guests

dance of good eats and at the proper
time a delicious luncheon was served
Games were indulged in and some
very worthwhile presents tendered as
a token of their high respect for the
guest of honor. As they departed,

happy and useful life.
Ferguson Family Meet
At the home of Mr. and Mrs. Wm.
Sporer was held on last Sunday the
annual dinner of the Ferguson fam
ily, which Is a very enjoyable occa
sion once a year. The practice has
been kept up for a number of years
and always has been a pleasant fea
ture of their social life. There was
brought an abundance of good eats
for all and plenty of people to serve
them, so that all sure enjoyed the oc
casion. There were there for the oc
casion, Mr. Robert Ferguson, Mr. and
Mrs. Charles Ferguson and their
daughter, of Nebraska City, Mr. and
Mrs. Ivan Balfour and their daugh
ter, of Union, Alva G. Long and fam
ily, Athene, Margaret, Bobby and
Dale, Mrs. Ralph Kennedy and" Betty
Lou (Mr. Kennedy was away to the

Make Purchase of Trucks
The Murray Transfer company,
which Is composed cf Frank Mrasek
and son, Earl, have purchased three
International trucks, which are man
factured at Fort Wayne, Indiana. The
firm has been operating two of this
make of truck heretofore and is well
pleased with the service which they
have given, so decided to make pur
chase of new ones of the same make.
On Friday of last week, the Messrs,
Mrasek and Ralph Kennedy drove to
Fort Wayne in the car of Mr. Ken
nedy, and after receiving the trucks,
loaded the car of Mr. Kennedy on
the chassis of one of the trucks and
drove them back.
It was the intention to have also
brought three other trucks to Omaha
for the distributing agency there, but
the business has been very brisk and
the factory could not spare any for
the Omaha branch except the three
purchased by the Mraseks. Since the
purchase of the three trucks, prices
have been advanced considerably.
The gentlemen were shown thru
the factory and were given a good In
sight to the repair and maintenance
of the trucks by this concern. Leav
ing South Bend on Friday for home,
they arrived here on Sunday after
noon. They tell of conditions as they
found them in the farming communi
ties along the line, they state the sea
son is even more backward than in
this vicinity with very little corn
planted in Iowa and Illinois and al
most none in Indiana. They tell of
many places where there is water
standing In the fields to a depth of
two feet and not a stalk cut as yet,
for they are standing sticking out of
the water. Their trip has enhanced
their opinion of eastern Nebraska,
and they believe our own state is the
best one in the corn belt. Well they
may, too, for eastern Nebraska is
bard to beat as a farming commun
ity. Frank J. Domingo, the Weeping
Water banker, was among those visit
ing in the city Tuesday afternoon and
calling on his many friend3 in this
community. .

HAS GREAT RECORD
The Bee-News of Sunday a very
interesting story on Clarence Cotner,
local bus i driver, which was as fol
lows :
"More than 800,000 miles in 12
years without accident is beileved to
be an all time record for bus drivers
operating out of Omaha. To have
missed only five working days in all
that time is believed to be another
record.
"Honors for both records must be
accorded Clarence C. Cotner, 42, in
dependent operator of a bus line be
tween Omaha and Plattsmouth.
"For more than 12 years in rain
or shine, winter or summer, day and
night, he has hauled passengers from
Omaha to Plattsmouth, and Platts
mouth to Omaha, until to put it in
his own words, 'I know every man
woman, child and dog on tho route.'
"Cotner making the 20-mile run
three times a day on strict schedule
has come to know his passengers by
their first names. He has 'tended
babies, taken cakes to Mrs. Jones,
Sowers to the sick,' and ran errands
for friends at both ends of the run
until he has become a sort of 'inter
county institution.'
"The Cotner schedule leaves him
but little time for recreation, and
only allows for about an hour and
a half with his family at riatts
mouth. He leave3 Plattsmouth on the
first run at 8:30 a. .m., returning on
the run from Omaha at noon, with a
half hour for lunch. .Back to Omaha
by 2 p. m sleeps till 4 p. m., out at
5 p. m., with a half hour for dinner.
then back to Omaha for the final re
turn trip to Plattsmouth at 10:45
p. m.
" 'My wife and 15-year-old
son, Donald, are usually asleep
when I get in at midnight,' said
Cotner, 'and I don't get to see
much of them, but that is one
of the penalties for being a
traveling man."
"Starting with a seven-passenger
car in 1921, Cotner built up his busi
ness until of late he has been oper
ating at 21-passenger bus."

Omaha. Leaders of two largo farm
organizations assert the farm strike
scheduled to start Saturday will re
ceive 6cant support from the vast ma
jority of farmers in this territory.
They were H. G. Keeney, president of
the Nebraska Farmers Union and
Otto Pfeiffer, president of the Nebraska-Iowa
Co-operative Milk asso
ciation.
Keeney, who Is also vice president
of the National Farmers Union, said
that while attending a series of union
meetings during the past month "I
didn't hear a single farmer talk libout
a farm strike."
"They seem to realize," he added,
"that no matter how much tempor
ary good or harm a strike might do,
the farmer's chance for permanent
betterment lie3 thru strengthening
his own co-operative organization."
Both Pfeiffer and Manager A. N.
Heggen of the milk co-operative in
dorsed a statement in the associa
tion's official publication which de
scribed the strike call as "decidedly
unpopular."
"Possibly the farmers involved
started out with a worthy thought in
mind, but lost control of themselves
under the tenseness of the stiuation,"
tho published statement read. "Farm
ers have a right to a voice In the
sale of their products but that voice
must come thru a co-operative mar
keting organization rather than mob
iolence."
Pfeiffer predicted that his group
which has 2,500 members in Nebras
ka and Iowa, would be solidly be

roads open for transportation of milk
and other products to market. State
