This chapter and lesson teaches the self-forgetfulnes3 of Jesus, how he gave the pre-eminence to people and their needs; always thinking of others, teaching them, warning them, healing them, helping them in any way he could. What needs of men did Jesus put first in this lesson? Have men.. the same needs today? Of the seven mir acles of mercy on the Sabbath day in the ministry of Jesus, four are re corded by Luke, this being the last of the four 4:.,S, C9; 6:C-11; 13:10 17). The invitation to dinner by the chief Pharisee was for the explicit purpose of trapping Jesus if they ( ould. How did Jesus frustrate their plana? (By turning the tables on them asking them questions). The host and the guests receive some val uable instructions in verses 7-14. (A great lesson in humility and in hos pitality). A parallel is recorded in James 2:1-S. The Parable of the Great Supper (1) Great Mercy prepared it; (2) Great "Worldliness rejected it; (3) Croat Zeal wanted a full house; (4) Grer.t Judgment pronounced. 'Supper," the principal meal of the day; the chief time of appeasing hunger. It was the chosen time of fellowship and rest the day's work over. Closing feature of the day. A brief recitation of the "Supper"' should be followed with a recapitu lation of how God prepared this great Supper, invited the Guests, was re jected by them and the consequences. A man of wealth and resources pre pared a great supper and sent invi tations to many. Those accepting the invitation were supposed to be ready lor the occasion, but when the time came and the "last call" was given, two excused themselves, the third gave a reason. The discourtesy was equal to a rejection and aroused the anger of the host. The meal having been prepared and made ready at a great cost, the food must not be wast- . .1 c . , - - . . . . I i'u. cu u tiierai invitation was Is sued to the despised classes and they came and filled the house. The deeper meaning will lead us into a very intensive study and bring out the great plan of God in his deal ing with man in the redemptive work of his son. This great supper was in preparation a long time. In Isa. 25 :C, we find a description: "In this mountain shall the Lord of hosts make unto all people a feast of fat things, a feast of wines on the lees, of fat things full of marrow, of wine BerefiBKfi: on the lees, well refined." The moun-jsteth, tain referred to is Jerusalem, as re corded in Isa. 2:2, 3. We have now the supper, the place and the host: "The Lord of Hosts." , The Servants Who Have Had Orders to Go and Invite the Guests. The first to mention is Closes (See used a rope to swing to an inacces sible place in the barn where pigeons nested, and fell while preparing to make a similar trip.

Numbers 12:6-8; Deut. 18:15; Isaiah 55:1); John the Baptist (See Matt. 3:1) and Jesus (See Matt. 4:17 and Heb. 1:12.) The guests were the chosen race, the Jews, the leaders. They were the first to hear the "good news." Jesus' instructions to the twelve was "Go not into the way of the- Gentiles and into any city of the Samaritans . . . but to the lost sheep of Israel (Matt. 10:5), be cause salvation is- of the Jews.

The prudent man stops and consid- ers; his reasoning would be: "If the religion of Jesus Christ is right and gives what it promises, I rannot lose anything if I embrace it; if it is a delusion and a fake, even then I have lost nothing through having lived a Christian life." Since Christ I and his kingdom are a reality and man does not accept him, then "How shall we escape, if we neglect so great a salvation?" (Heb. 2:3). God is not mocked (Gal. 6:7). The consequence will be that "None of these men which were bidden shall taste of my supper." "It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God." (Heb. 10:31). That is what happened to the Jewish lead ers, in the destruction of Jerusalem, 70 A. D. Bij God s plan and purpose cannot be foiled; they must come to fruition. The Jews, having brought the curse upon themselves are today hated and despised, and are wander ers upon the earth; but the "ser vants" are persuading men continu ally to "be reconciled to God" and thank God! The house is filling up, but "Yet there is room." Still they are crying: "Ho! Everyone that thir- come ye to the waters, and he that hath ro money; come ye, buy and eat . . . without price." (Isa. 55: 1). "Come unto me," says Jesus, "and I will give you rest." (Matt. 11:2S). Why not .come to him now? Then, "They shall hunger and thirst no more." (Rev. 7:16). "They shall be satisfied." (Matt. 5:6). UIIIONJTEMS. Mrs. L. R. Upton and daughter, !Sara, were Omaha visitors Saturday. Mr. and Mrs. James Pittman were visiting briefly in Nebraska City Sat urday. C. E.

Let us have a short and efficient session by eliminating useless legis lation which is of no value to busi ness or society. I believe in financing old age pen sions by a general sales tax, which will operate on the buying capacity of the public in general, rather than upon the buyer or gasoline, as is done at present. There are not enough improved "farm - to - market" roads for the amount of gas 'tax collected in the state. Instead of paved race tracks, give us better roads in the rural communities. In short, let us have "Honesty, Horse Sense and No Foolin in Gov ernment." ERNEST HANING. 1 y lt the severe" freezing has caused much damage to the cereal. The gov ernment to protect itself in the mat ter is to have the cribs reinspected to ascertain the exact condition of the corn in order that a readjustment may be made. George A. Stites has been required by the government to inspect the corn and has been given seven counties as his portion of the work, Cass, Otoe, Nemaha, Richard son, Johnson, Nemaha and Pawnee.

He got in the way of a swift moving auto, which was see ing how fast it could negotiate the hill in the Union streets and ran over Buster. It is fortunate that it was not some child.

Your Chair man recommended $11,550,453.85 a saving of nearly four million dollars from the amount requested.
