VISITS OLD TIME FRIENDS Henry Ilabbinga, of George, Iowa, a resident of this community some fifty years ago, has been visiting here -with the old time friends. Mr. Hab binga came here in company with his son-in-law, Dan Gaffery to visit in this locality with the members of the J. It. Vallery family with whom he had lived on the farm some fifty years ago. This was the first visit In over forty years and many changes have come to the circle of friends in this long period of years. Mr. Ilabbinga has been a guest of John Vallery and family and visited all of the members available of the J. R. Vallery family and old time friends. Ey honest and upright living Mr. Ilabbinga has accumulated many acres of Iowa soil and has been re tired for sixteen years, living in George, Iowa, since the death of his wife. The visit was the source of much pleasure and satisfaction to his many friends as well as to Mr. Ilabbinga, and all enjoyed the opportunity of meeting his son-in-law, who is a scientific farmer and a young man of exceptional merit. Mr. and Mrs. John Vallery were host and hostess at a deliclously pre pared dinner Sunday to honor the visitors and the members of the fam ily circle. Those included in the party were the guests of honor, Mr. Hab-j Bible School Sunday, October 13th "The Story of Jeremiah" " ' Jer. 1:C-J0; 26:8-15. The subject of our lesson is not as well known as some others of the propnets, although oft quoted. As there are seven "Jeremiahs" named in the Old Testament, we naturally want to know which one is the writer of this book, (a) the father-in-law of Josiah, II Kings, 23:31; (b) the head of the house of Manasseh, I Chron. 5:2-1; (c. d, e) three mighty men of David's army, I Chron. 12:4, 10, 13; (f) head of a priestly course, Neh. 10:2; 12:1, 12; (g) the father of Jaazamiah, the Rechabite, Jer. 35:3. The writer is Jeremiah, the son of Ililkiah. a priest of Anathoth, two miles northeast of Jerusalem, from the line of Abiathar. Nothing farther is known about his youth. He grew to manhood in this little rugged mountain village, where he bought a field. (Chap. 37:7). Jeremiah must have had means, as he employed a secretary, Baruch. Early in life he received a call for work as a messenger for Jehovah, which he followed for over forty years, under five kings. Josiah, Jehoa haz, Jchoiakim, Jehoiachin and Zede kiah. His contemporaries in prophesy were Zephamiah, Habakkuk, Ezekiel and Daniel. He was predesined be fore birth to this office. So must every preacher and teacher have a devine "call." Preachers and teach ers are not made, they are born, and wunouc ine aevine can, tney are " a blaring trumpet or a clanging cym bal," according to Weymouth. It was Jeremiah's lot to prophesy at a time when all things in Judah were running down to the final and mournful destruction, when the worst passion swayed the various parties nd the most fatal counsels prevail ed. It was his lot to stand in the way over which his nation was rushing headlong to destruction; to make a heroic effort to arrest it and to turn it back, only to fail and be compelled ,to step aside and see his own people plunge over the precipice and into the wide weltering ruin. Now tome3 the call to step out boldly and speak for God; here the human shrinks, recoils from the tremendous task: "Oh Lord Jehovah! Behold I know not how to speak, for i am a cnna. Refer back to his obscure bringing lip, with no experience and knowledge to deal with kings and princes. It . j3 no easy task to be lightly un dertaken. The expression, "I am a child" is not to be taken literally, but lie means to say: "My experience in these matters is like a child's. I have had no chance to learn how to deal with, men in these matters." We think binga and Mr. Gaffery, Mrs. F. R. Cunningham, Nehawka; Misses Grace and Louise Vallery, Plattsmouth; Mr. and Mrs. Theodore Ptak and the members of the John Vallery family. TO ASHLAND FRIDAY The Plattsmouth high school foot ball team are to head westward Fri day to play Ashland high school and help feature the "Stir Up," fall festi val of that community. The Platters are now showing good form and should be able to furnish plenty of "stir up" for the Saunders county team. With the festival on at Ash land it is expected that a large num ber of rooters will accompany the team and help along the good cause of the Platters and take in the fes tivities of the day. The high school band may also be taken on this trip to add to the interest of the contest of the two old rival schools. WILL ENTER CONTEST The Plattsmouth high, school has selected as their entries in the Young Citizen's contest, Grace Wiles, Amiee Jane Thomas, Stephen Davis and Floyd McCarthy. The county contest will be held on Saturday at the court house and the local group will compete "with other of the fine young people over the county to determine the right to rep resent the county in the district con test. Lesson Study! By L. Neitzel, Murdock, Neb. of Moses, Ex. 4:10; Isaiah G:5; Eze. 3:15 and of Solomon, I Kings 3:7. To deal with the things of God and im mortal souls, is more than ordinary man can undertake. But in God's foreknowledge is implied that He knows what is in man, sanctified and ordained to be a prophet to the na tions. He will protect, sustain and see him through, "deliver" him. What a wonderful encouragement! Could anyone undertake teaching and preaching the eternal truths of God's word "without the consciousness of devine assistance? It takes courage and wisdom to deliver God's message. No one should stand before a class or in the pulpit without the devine unc tion, the annointing of the Holy Spirit. Jeremiah was empowered when the hand of God touched his mouth; that conveyed devine authority; without that life is a failure. What an ordeal Jeremiah had to go through, is shown in the second part of our lesson. Hav ing delivered God's message, the re sult was the leaders of the people, in stead of mending their ways, got angry and . said he "must die." So will, people today gnash their teeth when told the truth, get angry, and would destroy the messenger, like the Jews did crucify Christ. But God made good his promise to be with him. A hearing was given Jeremiah before another court of nobles of Israel, and the first verdict was reversed. It was a bold stroke for Jeremiah, to declare the doom of the nation, and then turn and give them good advice: "Now, therefore, mend your ways and your doings and obey the voice of Jehovah. ... As for me, behold I am in your hands; do with me as is good and right in your eyes." Who does not see Martin Lather before the Diet at Worms? Such cour age often overawes the eemies. "He derives courage from they greatness of his course; hi3 is but a single life, the contest is not really between him self and his accusers. But between good and viL right and wrong, God and the powers of fclarkhcsa. He for gets himself in realizing God." L. Elliott BimiB. Kins' Jehorakim destroyed Jere miah's writing- Baruch rewrites the same with additions. In the second siege of Jerusalem, Jeremiah i3 put into a dungeon, sinka to hi3 armpits into slime; is rescued by Ebed-Mel- ech, an Ethiopian, but U kept a pris oner until the capture of Jerusalem; is carried in chains from the city by Nebuzar-Adan, but finally released at Ramah. (See Jeremiah 40:1-3.) The story of this remarkable man will be continued in our next lesson.

R. Gbbelman and his force. Many Attend Convention Many of those- interested in Bible school work in Murray went to Tlatts- mouth Monday, where they attended the Cass County Bible School conven tion.

During the afternoon, there was a pleasant social hour, followed hy the Young People's meeting and then the regular evening worship hour. 1 ' A most pleasant ime was had by everyone and those who missed "the meeting this year will be the more anxious to be present next year. Discussing Library Building The quest ion or a new library build ing in Murray is still being given much attention and it is the hope cf everyone interested that the building may be secured in some manner or other. There are a large number of books on hand at the present time and the crying need is for a suitable building in which to house this worth while civic enterprise. Our neighbor ing town of Nehawka found itself in need of such a building and by close co-operation of all the people, secured it without having to expend a very large amount of money. Perhaps Mur ray can do likewise. At any rate, it is worthy trying. New Elacksmith Here Newton L. Grubbs, who conducted a blacksmith shop in Murray, receiv ing an offer from the government to act as blacksmithing instructor in the CCC camp at Weeping Water, con cluded to accept the same and closed hi3 shop here.

Met Sunday at Julian Some forty or more years ago, W. S. Smith and wife were residents of Filmore county and while living there became close friends of two other couples who were near neighbors. On their moving away the friendship has continued throughout the years and they have made it somewhat of a practice to get together one day cf each year at the home of some one of the group for a visit, always enjoying the day together and the sumptuous dinner which it has brought. Last Sunday, Mr. and Mrs. Smith went to Julian, where they visited at the home of Veston Robb, one of the trio of families. There they were join ed by M. U. Hadsell and daughter, Mies Pluma. Needless to say, they en joyed tho usual pleasant reunion and expect to get together again next year, although it has not been decid ed just when or where the meeting will be held, that being left to be ar ranged later by letter. Spent Sunday at Home Earl Terhune remained at home last Sunday notwithstanding the fact that he likes to get out and take the family for a ride. The reason for thi3 was that he has sold his car and with the winter season rapidly coming on, is not anxious to buy another one un til spring.

SIZE Super Suds WITH THE PURCHASE CP CRYSTAL WHITE SOAP TIME ONLY LIQTJ0H TAX BELOW AVERAGE September receipts for the Nebras ka liquor commission failed by mar ly $20,000 to reach the average set up by the state board of equalization in fixing the state levy two months ago. Commissioner McEachen, in charge of finance, said September recipts to taled $109, 886, the lowest in the four full months of operation. The state board of equalization figured the aver age monthly receipts at ?129,C80. The board used that figure to hold the 1935 state levy down to 2.15 mills a fter it was believed the tax v.cuhl have to be fixed as high at 2.5 mills. Monthly receipts to date: June, $111, 230; July, $1SS,911; August, $152, 919; September, $109,836. McEachan said "anybody's guess is a3 good as mine" as to why the September receipts showed a decline. "Th;3 September figure includes very little license money, however," the commissioner explained. "Previous months' receipts did include a large percentage of license money. Then, many dealers on first impulse over bought on their stocks and have since slowed down." TO E00ST STATE PATROL Columbus, Neb., October 4. Harry Russell of Hastings informed those making arrangements for the .annual meeting here next week of the Ne braska Good Roads association that endorsement will be asked of a plan for an adequate state highway police force. - - I The resolution to te presented, ho said, will be based on the ground that such a system would pay for itself, help reduce high automobile insur ance rates, reduce accidents and check flagrant disregard for Nebras ka's laws. Mark T. Caster, of Lincoln, who like Russell i3 a director of the as sociation, also informed convention officials there is increased interest among association members in a state police force.
