Obernaulte cf KeLawka was a visitor in Murray on Tuesday of this week, coming over to transact seme busine33 matters. James Van Allen was in Omaha last Sunday evening:, where he and a fair lady companion attended a Ehow, which they enjoyed. Martin Bloom of Omaha and Platts mouth, was a visiter in Murray on last Tuesday evening, having1 some business matters calling him here. Charles V. Barrows, of the Hi-Way station, wa3 called to Council Bluffs on Monday evening to look after You are Assured Honest Grades and Weights for Your Grain at the MURRAY FiRlWERS ELE VATOR. See us before you sell! A. J. Wei&eman manager Phone 1 7 Murray, Neb. Bible, School Sunday, Kay 2Sth 8 "Jesus aad His Friesds" Mark 13:33; 14:9. I Jesus warns his friends, Mark 13:1-37. Tlie coming end of the world. Christianity has no more prec--ious possession than the memory of Jesus during the week when he stood face to face with death. Driven from the temple by hi3 foes, never to enter it again, our Lord devoted himself during these last few days to his little band of loving friends. Our les son shows him faithfully warning them cf the trials that were to come upon them. In the background we see the dark menace of his foes, plot ting his death. It is a most moving picture. Jesus foresaw the end of the Jewish nation; the horrors that would accompany the destruction of Jerusalem. Eut he sees also his re turn in glory and power to reeive his own and take them to their ever lasting abode. He also points out the uselessness of figuring out the time of the end of the world, because no one knovs not even the son as Son cf Man. Then why waste time in speculations? "Take ye heed." A heedless life cannot be a Christian life. The Christian, is full of joy, but it is a solemn joy; for he sees dearly, the vast, eternal issues at stake in his life. Thcughtfulness be comes a Christian, for he knows that his life here determines his life throughout the endless years. Every day brings the Lord's coming one day nearer. There is no day which may not be cur last. "Watch and pray." "Lest coming suddenly, he finds you sleeping." Think of Peter, Jame3 and John sleeping on the mount cf transfiguration and in Geth serr.anc. Christians asleep! How many cf them arc. Laymen and preachers, Sunday school pupils as well as teach ers. To all, without a single excep tion, the Master is coming. "What I say to you. I say to all. Watch!" II Jesus plotted against, Mark 14: 1, 2. While Jesu3 was with his friends in Bethany, a dark plot was incubated in Jerusalem. The clan cf the chief priests with the scribes got together and passed sentence on Jesus to kill him. (Gangsters of to day put their victim cn the spct.) Trickery and murder these filled their cruel hearts in place of praise to Gcd and love to men that befitted the solemn and joyous festival. The lime wa3 not propitious, the crowds were too great, too many Galileans, whom Jesus had benefited, they might take his part; wait until after the passover. The crowds so great that tometimes as many as 23,000 lambs were required for slaughter in the temple, one lamb for each household. The Romans were prepared to quell ricts. keeping a heavy guard cn hand. And so they waited. Ill Jesus annointed by Mary. He stayed at the home of Simon, the Leper, Titom he had healed some seme business matters, making the trip on his motorcycle. Martin Sporer and his little daugh ter were over to Union on last Mon day, where they were looking after seme business matters as well as vis iting with friends for a few hours. J. A. Scotten, the contractor, and George E. Nickles, the lumberman, were called to Omaha on Tuesday to look after seme matters of business, driving up in the car of Mr. Nickles. W. G. Boedeker of the Murray State Bank, and Wm. Sporer, were In Plattsmouth last Saturday evening, where they were called to look after some business matters for a short time. Vac Mickluskey, the blacksmith, was in Omaha over the week-end, visiting with the family and also looking after some business matters. He returned to Murray Monday to look after the business at the shop. Edward Mutz ana wife have ac cepted positions at the home of Mr. and Mrs. A. W. Leonard, where they will assist with the farming opera tions. They have been in the farm ing game for many years and are well acquainted with its various kinds of work. Business brought E. W Thimgan, former sheriff cf Cass county, tc Murray on last Monday, and after having looked after some matters here, he went to Weeping Water, Elmwood and Murdock, where he also had some business matters to look after. Thomas Nelson, who is always looking for something sweet, scented a newly escaped swarm of bees on lart Sunday and soon had them hived and placed in his colony at his home. This is an addition to the already large colony of bees which he has now at the home. Chester Sporer and the wife are Lesson Study! By L. Neitzel, Kurdock, Neb. time before. The house was Chrirt's headquarters during passover week. Mark goes back a few days (as we learn from other Gospels) to the Saturday evening of Passion week, in the home of the beloved family, and there we learn the motive of Judas' betrayal. A banquet or supper was given to Jesus and the twelve. Prob ably in memory cf the resurrection of Lazarus, which took place eight aeefcs before. This was one happy day for our Lord, marred only by in terruption of Judas. This annoint ing must net be confused with the incident recorded in Luke 7:36-50, al though the name of Jesus host is the same and the annointing was in the same manner. This first woman has no name (she is called a "sin ner") while in our lesson of today, it is Mary, the sister cf Martha and Lazarus, as John 12:3 reveals who did the annointing. We must remem ber, that the active attempt of the Jewish rulers to bring about the death of Jesus started with the rais ing of Lazarus (John 11:53). Mat thew and Mark gave no names, ,but John wrote very much later when he could give us the names and there was no danger that they would be molested by the rulers. Mary and the cintment. This alabaster cruse of cintment is believed by some was bought to embalm Lazarus, but for seme reason was not used. It was very costly estimates vary between $100 and $1,200. It was the most precious thing, probably, that Mary possessed. She broke the cruse over his head and feet, the house was filled with the odor. The two prin cipal actors in this scene are Judas and Mary; the former represents the worst that is in man and the latter the best. The monument that Mary built will stand to the end of time. Judas is named only with contempt; no one will name a bey "Judas, but the "Marys" are very numerous. The remarks of the indignant disciple may have caused Mary to weep. Now we hear the Lord, with a sharp re buke saying: "Let her alone, why trouble ye her; she hath wrought a good work on me." Jesus always came to the defense of women. "She hath done what she could." Would to God that could be said of all his followers. Have we done all we can? Could we not exert ourselves a little more? Can Je3us say about us, "He (or she) hath done what they could?" With a prophetic vision the Lord sees the gospel preached throughout the whole world and Mary's act spoken of as a memorial for her. She gave her best to the Master and only that is gocd enough for him. God alone values our efforts correctly. He knows the motive that prompts the deed. God keeps a book of remem brance. (Mat. 3:17). And some day the books will be opened (Rev. 20: 12). caring for their kiddies, two of whom have gotten the measles and are get ting along nicely with them, as the weather is now mild and the best time of the year to have such an af fliction. They are also receiving the best of care from the parents. Mr. and Mrs. Earl Lancaster and the family were over to Murdock last Sunday, where they were enjoying a visit for the day at the home of Mr. and Mrs. John Eppings. Mrs. Eppings and Mr. Lancaster are sister and brother. The Lancaster family en joyed the fine dinner that was pre pared by Mrs. Eppings. Dewey Hobson, who has leased the corner building of J. W. Holmes, has moved his mill to the room and has been busily engaged in getting the machinery set in order that he may get to work grinding again and not have to keep the. trade waiting, as he is. here to accommodate whoever desires any work in his line. Mrs. C. V. Barrows received the ?ad news of the illness of her sister, Miss Marguerite Brown, of near Hub bell, Nebraska, and that she had to undergo an operation for a severe ?ase cf appendicitis. The appendix had burst and the case was one of very grave concern. Mr. and Mrs. Earrows hastened to Hubbell, where they went to see the sister and were pleased to find her feeling some bet ter, but still not well. They remain ed over the week end with the sister. Entertained Last Sunday Miss Bertha Nickles entertained for the day and dinner on last Sun day, having her two cousins, Miss Etta and Mr. Lee Nickles, of Platts mouth, as her dinner guests, as well as Mr. and Mrs. Alonzo Nickles and wife of Murray, who with her broth 3r, Alfred Nickles and her mother, Miss Mary Nickles, made up a very happy party who enjoyed the day and the fine dinner very much. Keeps Bustling Henry Heebner, who while he has attained a number of years, still keeps at the work notwithstanding the added fact that he has not been in the best of health. He has a num ber of gardens in the vicinity of Mur ray, which he is keeping up in fine shape. When it comes to growing a gcod garden, Henry Heebner knows how. The two ingredients that count most are hard work and keeping at it. He has both. Loses Three Friends Thomas Nelson has had the ac quaintance of a number of friends for many years and occasionally he has found fault with some of them. Just lately he has had cause to com plain of three of them and so, while it cost him some pain to sever his connection with them he did so, but not without bloodshed. They were three decayed teeth and he is now feeling some better. Eave Gecd Record At the Christian Bible school on last Sunday nine of the students of that institution were presented with a wreath for not missing Bible school fcr over two years and three had a record of over four years without a skip, they being Richard Brendel, Charles Sporer and Raymond Lan caster. This makes a good record and shows well for the interest taken in Sunday school work. Getting Ready to Euild The committee having in charge the rebuilding of the Murray school building, which was burned to the ground last winter, has taken steps to have the ground cleared and the basement which has been left since the fire, cleaned out and everything gotten in readiness to commence the work of rebuilding as soon as the preliminary arrangements can be made. Everett Dodds, the architect, who has been employed to draw the plans and furnish the specifications for the erection of the building, was down and looked over the grounds where the building was and where the new structure is to be erected. It has been decided to erect a ten grade building, although there was considerable talk cf increasing the facilities of the school to make it a fully accredited twelve grade high school. The tenth grade i3 the high est that has been provided in the past and as the increased cost of providing for two more would have made necessary the voting of some bonds in addition to the insurance money on hand and proceeds of the sinking fund, it was thought best to only provide for the number of grades heretofore accommodated. Hurray Study Club. The Murray Study club met at the home of Mrs. Betty Barrows on Thursday, the 18th at a 1 o'clock luncheon. There were 24 present.

After completing two weeks of his projected three weeks fast Mahatma Gandhi was found to be well. Doctors, astonish ed at his condition, said it was al most a miracle that he remained so fit. But the pound the mahatma is losing each day is weakening him, and physicians will redouble their attention during the next week as well as in the week after the fast. They expressed some fear about a sudden change in his condition. Tax Delinquency as Defined in New State Tax Law Partial Payments of Taxes, Dates of Delinquency and Eates of In terest in S. F.

MNF0ED, Proprietor Murray Corners Wiley Post to Have Only Robot for Companion Winnie Mae to Carry Him Again in Attempt to Beat Record He Set in 1931 with Gatty. Oklahoma City. Wiley Post, co holder of the round-the-world flight record, announced today he would take off about July 1 in a solo at-. tempt to set a new globe-circling re cord. The flight. Post said, would be made in the Winnie Mae, in which he and Harold Gatty flew around the globe in eight days, fifteen hours and fifty-one minutes in June, 1931. The fuselage is being rebuilt and the plane will carry a new motor. "I am simply going out to set a new record, my personal ambition," was Post's only comment. "I will have no backer, no manager and no partners." Eobot His Companion. The attempt to beat the record will be financed by Post, interested aviation equipment and plane build ers, and Oklahoma City aviation fans, the pilot said. Instead of a human companion. Post will be accompanied ay a robot, which he has been test ing several weeks in all kinds of weather, and over plains and moun tains. Post expects the robot to relieve him of much of the flying, leaving him free to navigate and rest. On the record flight. Post did the flying and Gatty was navigator. Final details of the flight and es tablishment of fueling stations in Si beria will be worked out by Sam Griebi of Chickasha, a pilot and friend of Post. The two expect to leave in a borrowed airplane for Washington and New York. Griebi plans to sail from New York for Eu rope. Berlin on First Hop. Under plans announced, the route of the new attempt would be much the same as that followed by Post and Gatty. Post would leave from New York with the intention of mak ing a direct nonstop 3,900-mile flight to Berlin. He then would make a 4,300-mile jump over Russia, which probably would be broken at 2,600 miles by refueling. From Russia he plans to fiy 2,200 miles over water and ice to Fair banks, Alaska, then 1,450 miels into Edmonton, Canada, and 2,100 miles back to New York. The rebulit plane will have a fuel capacity of 658 gallons or 110 gallons more than on the first flight. It will have a cruising speed of about 170 miles an hour and top speed of 225 miles an hour.
