CROOKS MADE INTO HEROES
Milwaukee. Attorney General
O'Connor of Iowa, asserting racket
eers are levying 15 billions in tribute
annually against the American peo
ple, pleaded with the attorneys gen
eral conference of the American Bar
association convention to fight crime
Criticizing what he termed a
tendency to make heroes of John Dil
linger and kindred hoodlums, O'Con
nor said newspapers "should carry
more stories of the hazards encoun
tered by fearless law enforcement of
ficials in tracing the criminal to his
lair." If heroes are needed in the
tragic drama of crime they should
be the peace officers and prosecuting
attorney, O'Connor said.

Bible School Lesson Study!
Sunday, September 2nd . By L. Neitzel. Murdock. Neb.
"Micah Champions the Oppressed"
Micah 6:1-12.
Little is known of Micah's life up
to this time. He was ready and will
ing to carry God's message to his peo
ple. He must have enjoyed a close
fellowship with God and knew condi
tions as they existed in. his day. He
lived and worked with Isaiah, 740 B.
C, and must not be confused with the
v.-
Gcd requires. He calls to the hills to
witness what God has done. (Vv 1
and 2). He appeals to the great deeds
of God's redemption for his people
(Vv 3 to 5). He insists on the sim
plicities of God's requirements (Vv 6
to 8).
God sure has reason for complaint i
today. Sabbath desecration, the neg
lect of public service by the masses,
prophet Micah ia King Ahab's time, the indifference and contempt for the I
Hallas Akins was looking after
some : business matters in Platts
mouth on last Monday, driving over

Attended Wedding at Tabor.
Mr. Warren Gregory of. Tabor,
Iowa, was a school chum of C. H.
Boedeker II when they were attend
ing Shattock school at Faribault,

tinued after they left their school

Driscoll, parents of Miss Monna Dris
coll, and Mr. and Mrs. Boedeker were

Christian Church Celebrates.
On last Sunday, August 26th there
was held at the Christian church of
Murray an all 'day gathering with
the regular services and Bible school.
At noon the dFrher and social hour
was enjoyed, rhich lasted until two
in the afternoon. . The regular even
ing services "were enjoyed, he
young peoples service was also en
joyed during the evening. Many of
the members and many from out of
town were there to enjoy the day
and discuss the problems of the
church.
137 years before this" lesson. Theyrrre
two different men.
In Jeremiah 26:16-18 he is refer
red to as the man who delivered God's
message and was listened to. Micah
had a message for both Juda and Is
rael; he understood world politics of
his day. He knew of the downfall of
Samaria and believed that Jerusalem
was enly postponing her time of de
struction for a few years. He i3 the
"Herald Prophet;" his is the book of
the "Watch Tower." Its keyword is
"Hear." His key text is "Hear all ye
people, harken, O earth, and all that
therein is, and let the Lord God be
witness against you, the Lord from
his holy temple." (Micah 1:2). He
lifts up his vcica against the social
wrongs sanctioned by their religious
leaders. The wrongful accumulation
of great estates is especially mention
ed as a flagrant social evil. That
would be a very thankless job for a
minister' in our day. The "woes" of
the oppressor are pictured in a vigor
ous and grsphic language.
Like Amos, Micah toclc up the cause
of the pocr. Hir, was the first voice
to Lc raised against child labor, a
crime even more deadly i:i the east
than in the west. Denouncing the
greedy covetous acts of the rich that
added one farm to the ether, depriv
ing many of a home. The religious
leaders (preachers) did net cry out
against this; even ai in our days.
Having pronounced the judgments
of God against the evil-doers, he is
also the prophet of hope. The fourth
chapter gives us a glowing description
of a better day; the triumphant day
cf the church the people will seek
God in his house end will gladly obey
his teaching declare that they will
walk in his paths a great change
will come over the people. Verses 3
and 4 describe the ideal condition of
the world when Jesus Christ shall
rule men, not the law. What i3 the
church doing to ha3tsn that day? Is
It not about time that the churches
give up some of their "hobbies" non
essentials, and merg-2 their forces and
powers and prosent a solid front
against a common foe? Whenever wc
come to that stage in our work for
Christ that we can sing: "We are not
divided. All one body we, one In hope
and doctrine, one in charity," then
will be fulfilled the prayer of Jesus:
"That they all may be one, a3 thou,
Father, art in me, and I in thee; that
they also may be one in us; that the
world may believe that thou hast
sent me." (John 17:21).
God calls and appeals to nature, to
Iiistory and to the reasonable service
church for waickClirJst died-tajese
are reason enough to call upon all
reasonable men to come and argue the
matter. If God is not entitled to hon
or, reverence and undivided loyalty
and service. Isaiah gave voice to the
same thought when he cried out:
"Come now, and let us reason togeth
er." (Isa. 1:1S). And Paul in his
day admonished the church at Rome
"to present their bodies a living sac
rifice, holy, acceptable unto God
which is your reasonable cervice.'
(Rom. 12:1).
God is very much in. earnest about
this matter.
Showing by past history his loving
care for his people.
The Jews in their day believed that
one must not come to God empty-
har.ded; on offering, a sacrifice must
accompany him. David had caught
the right meaning of serving God.
"Sacrifice and offering thou didst not
desire; mine ears hast thou opened;
a iamny picnic given in their honor.

Martin L. Ruby and wife of Mc-

Attended Eastern Star Picnic.
Mr. and Mrs. E. S. Tutt were over
to the Order of '.Eastern Star picnic
which was held atjthe Spangler grove
east of Mynard and where they en
joyed an excellent time with the Ma
sons and the wives from Plattsmouth
and a number from Murray. At the
conclusion of the celebration, they
volunteered to take a number of the
members of the 'Masonic Home to the
Home which they did and also visit

Some Cora Anyway.
There is a corn stalk at the Mur
ray State bank which is over ten
feet in height, and on which has
grown two good ears of corn, and
while, not as large as grown some
years they are both good sound cars
and of the very best uality which was
grown by John Noddleman over on
the river a short distance below old
Rock Bluffs, where Mr. Noddleman
has a large field which he thinks will
average thirty bushels the acre. Even
in a year of complete failure there
are some fields which still grow corn.
at the advanced age of 94 years was
held from the Christian church at
Murray Friday afternoon. The fun
eral sermon was delivered by the
Rev. Lloyd Schubert, pastor of the
church. The services were attended
by a large number of relatives and
friends of this excellent man.
Mr. Graves had resided in this
community for so many years and
lived such an upright life that his
passing will be missed by everybody.
The interment was held at the Rock
Bluffs cemetery, near where he re
sided for so many years and near
where so many of the incidents of
his active life were transacted. It is
a fitting place for the mortal remains
to rest until that time when the
Angel of the resurrection with the
trumpet of the new life shall call
this excellent man from his long re
pose to that higher, better and eter
nal life above.
