Tippens on Sat urday received the sad news of the death of his brother, Eugene Tippens, 74, which occurred Friday at his home in Los Angeles, where he has made his home for a great many years.

The party returned late in the after noon to their home in Saunders county. Bible School Sunday, May 17th "Jesus Inspires Honesty" Luke 19:1-10, 45-48. Very earnest consideration should be given in the study of this lesson to the powerful transformation in the lives of men by conversion. The present age has lost much of the old fashioned, rugged honesty and mu tual confidence. Our civilization is threatened with corruption in gov ernment, trickery in business, crim inality among our gangs of city youth; all corrective measures will fail, the . evil being deep-seated in the heart3 of men and can only be corrected by a change of heart, com monly called conversion, which is a work of the Holy Spirit. The life of a converted man need not be governed by law; he may not know the exact provisions of a sin gle one of the thousands of laws on our statute books, yet, unconsciously he obeys all of them, because the law of love overrules all his actions. He obeys the laws of Christ the golden rule. When Jesus conies into the heart, selfishness, greed, avarice", hatred, malice, covetousness, etc. vanish. Charity, or love, is kind, envieth not, seeketh not her own, thinketh no evil, etc. All the foregoing is dem onstrated and proven by the incident of the lesson. May we elucidate the facts: Jesus had left Perea, crossed the Jordan and was on his last journey to Jerusalem; the route follow ed led through Jericho the city of palms a residence of many priests, fifteen miles from Jerusalem and six miles from the Jordan; a very old city. It was taken by Joshua In 1542 B. C. and rebuilt 91S B. C. by Hiel. A port of entry and custom houses. Why did Jesus intend to pass through and not stop over? (Of its reputed wickedness, according to Dr. William M. Thompson). Even in a wicked place, however, there may be found a soul hungry for salvation and a Saviour. Who is this Zahaeus? (1) a rich publican; (2) a dishonest man; (3) a man aroused to curiosity; (4) a happy man; (5) a changed man, and (6) a saved man. This man had grown rich like so many of our pub lic officials, by dishonesty, by rob bing the people through the office they hold. Politicians have pent $200,000 to get an office that pays only $10,000 per annum. Zachaeus vas dishonest according to his own confession. Well, that was a good Bign of an awakened conscience, and led to his conversion. It was a bless ed day when a sinner and the sav iour met. "Come down" . . . "Make haste!" Both commands were prom ptly obeyed. God has no use for a lazy man. "The Kings Business re quires haste." (I Sam.' 21:8). PLATTSMOUTH, NEBRASKA Neb., as second-class mail matter HERE FROM CALIFORNIA Mr. and Mrs. V. W. Perry of Orange, California, are enjoying a visit with the relatives in this sec tion of Nebraska and have been par ticipating in a family gathering that was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Charles D.

The next meeting of the Juniors will be on June 14th. The meeting was closed by the serv ing of refreshments by Mrs. Flora Welch. BARBARA RHODEN. Lesson Study! By L. Neitzel, Murdock, Neb. It is the sluggart who loses out in the race. When Paul received his call to preach, instantly he obeyed. (Gal. 1:16). "Zachaeus, come down!" We hear no argument, no hesitation. He slides down, a joyful, happy man. What has happened? How did Jesus know his name? Zachaeus had an-experience between "climbing up and com ing down" he is a converted, chang ed man. "Today, I MUST abide at thy house." How many have lost their soul3 happiness because they would not open their heart and home to Jesus, but waited for a convenient season? (Acts 24:25). Tomorrow never comes to any man. The proof of Zachaeus' conversion is found in his restitution of his ill gotten wealth; he could not keep it and be happy; it was not his. Now his joy is complete. Salvation has come to him and hi3 family happy home, where all enjoy the blessing of sins forgiven, and the love of God in the soul. Tradition says Zachaeus became the first Bishop of Casarea of Pales tine. The second part of our lesson pic tures a tragedy. The first cleansing took place in Jesus' early ministry. (John 2:14-22). This is the second cleansing. With extreme disgust, Jesus beheld the desecration of his Father's House. For the sanctity and holiness of the temple, see Isa. 6:1-5. If Jesus should come and visit some of our so-called "temples of wor ship," what language would he U3e! They are used for everything but worship; the prayer meeting i3 de serted; the evening service finds empty pews but have a banquet in the basement and there is a crowd. Bazaars and raffles are held in its sacred vestibules. What is the dif ference of Jesus' time and ours? Why prostitute the house of God for such ungodly purposes? Have the people forgotten the dedicatory ser vices? Was it Just an empty form we went through? What a sad state of thing3 wo find the church in; we haven't really learned anything from the fate of those Jews. The result was that those Jews lost their re ligion, and hatred, malice and mur der filled their hearts. When people lose reverence for the house of God, nothing is holy to them any more, although they may sing: "I love Thy kingdom, Lord, The house of thine abode; The church our blest redeem er saved With His own precious blood." Should we not fear to hear the Lord say: "I hate, I despise your feast days, and I will not smell in your solemn assemblies." (Amos 5: 21). Annual Dues '150 Club' are Needed Now Most Towns in Arbor Lodge Distric Have Already Paid Their Per Capita Cost for 1938. Arbor Lodge district leads the en tire Cornhusker area, Boy Scouts of America, in percentage of per capita cost for maintaining the Scouting program already paid In. In fact were it not for one of two towns like Plattsmouth that have not met their share of the expense to date, the dis trict would stand 100 per cent paid up for the year 1936. To meet this cost and the other in cidental expense of Scouting, there was organized in 1934 the "150 Club," an organization composed of 150 men of the community w illing to subscribe $1 a year to help maintain the Scouting program here. The last of the three subscribed years is at hand, and names of members signed in 1934 and the succeeding year are now in the hands of Rotarians and others interested in this work, who will contact the different members in the next few days to secure their $1 membership dues for 1936. In this manner, it is hoped to raise the year's area dues of $90 and an addi tional sum to meet overhead and in cidental operating costs at the Scout recreational grounds and cabin at Camp Wheeler, where the boys are spending many enjoyable week-ends Chief among these costs are tele phone rental, rental on grounds, in surance on cabin, purchase of merit badge pamphlets, etc. Last year's receipts are entirely used up and it will be necessary to raise the entire $150 this year in order to maintain the program. Those who may not be contacted and who desire to pay their dues at once may leave same with E. II. Wes- cott, vice chairman of Arbor Lodge district and senior advisor to the riattsmouth Scout committee. As stated above, other towns . in the district have already met their assessment, and it is desired to have Plattsmouth's share of this cost paid into the district office by Wednesday, May 20th. All who signed pledge cards in 1934 and did not pay the entire three years dues at that,time, owe 1936 dues now. H. H. URBACH IS PROMOTED H. H.

HEARING ON COMPENSATION From Wednesday's Dailv This morning a hearing was held at the court house on the compensa tion case of Joseph Warga of this city against the BREX company, for injuries received while he was in the employ of the company last year.

This is the first visit of Mr. Matchullat to his old home commun ity in several years and he was en thusiastic over the natural beauty that spring has brought to the hills with their tree3 that makes this one of the most attractive cities in the west.
