Md-Tv Bible School Sunday, November 15th "The Heroism of Christian Faith" Acts 21:12, 13; 27-34; Roman3 9:15. In no other field of human endeav or (le we find heroism displayed like in the church of Jesus Christ. Bible students should study the "Hall of Fanu " as given us in Hebrew 11, which is only a partial list, up to the time just before the destruction of Jerusalem. In the ten major per secutions of the early church, in the first three centuries, history records heroism for ine faith which seems al most unbelievable. We have facts of men dying on the battle field in the interest of science we honor them but the honor roll would be a long one if all would be enumerated that perished in the great tribulation as recorded in Rev. 7:14. The church counts its heroes and martyrs by the million. The faith given to the saints is worth dying for lose your life, you find it again. (Matt. 10:39). Our lesson shows us a character well worthy of emulation. In Paul we find a man so filled with the love of God for the cause he represents that he would gladly give up his life, if he could further the cause and bring- a soul to Christ. Who can read the record of his suffering and not see the hero in it? (II Cor. 11:21-23). We sec him in the lessen, in spite of all warning, set his face to go to Jerusalem, just like his master. (Mark 10:33; Matt. 20:18; Luke IS: 31). There he stands, the ideal hero, saying: "None of these things move me, neither count I my life dear un to myself, so that I might finish my course with joy and the ministr3 e tc." Hut he goes on in spite (as the Holy Spirit testifies "that imprison ment and stiffen ng are awaiting me." (Weymouth). It is the last time in his liie that he is to s'.-e Jerusalem, the place of his college. clays and early labors against Jesus. Who is not re minded of Luther's Etaid saying: "If there were as many devils in Worms as tiles on the roofs, I would go there."" The occasion of Paul's arrest wa3 caused by men spreading a lie. They "supposed." While paying the Naza rile vow (their expenses) for four men (see 'Numbers G:2, 13), which was quite an amount, Paul proved that he still respected the ceremonial law of Moses, but be did not regard it as binding on Christians, because Christ is the end of the law. (Rom? 10:4). But Paul would "become all things to all men. in order to save some." (See I Cor. 9:19-22). Question: Was this a wise act. directed of God, when it turned out go. disastrous for Paul? Did it pave the way for Paul to finally get to Rome and the state pay the fare? Do all things work for good to them that love God? (Rom. S:2S). Would the devil trouble himself about a man with less zeal than Paul had? DIES IN CALIFORNIA Word has beon received by rela tives of the death of Will Bennett Miller, on November 7th at Manhat tan Beach, California. He was born in Plattsmouth. and is the son of Mrs. Grace Bennett Miller and a grandson of Captain L. D. Ben n:tt, a pioneer merchant and resi dent of Cas3 county Tor many years.

C. The funeral services were held in California. CARD OF THANKS With profound gratitude I wish to express my appreciation to the vot ers of Cass county. The fine vote given me for county attorney was most gratifying. I shall in every way strive to merit the confidence of the people of Cass county. J. A. CAPWELL. Lesson Study! By L. Keitzel, Hurdock, Neb. A few unscrupulous men can stir up a lot of trouble (we had a sad experience in that line). Here it was Jews, church members, who had come from Asia Tlinor to the festival of the first harvest (Pentecost), who caused a riot, by "supposing" Paul had desecrated the temple. Jerusalem had never been very kind toward Paul; even the church there always looked upon him with more or less suspicion; it may have been coupled with envy. Small men, compared with Paul, every one of them; who never could do the work he did, nor have written ihe Epistles he wrote who never agonized in prayer like he did. But he followed their ad vice and got into trouble. The city was stirred up, the mob spirit was unleashed and people were hard to hold in bounds many being ready to lynch these "church members." What crimes are sometimes com mitted in the name of religion! The Gentiles, Roman authorities, take a hand, and, bound with chains, Paul makes hi3 defense to the peo ple. At the word "Gentile," the mob becomes infuriated. The centurian, trying to find out who Paul was, had him brought to the castle, and be lieving him to be a very dangerous criminal, intended to flog him. Upon being made ready for the iashes, Paul asked what the Roman law was in his case, because ha was a Reman citizen. That changed the sro.:i:cdirK3. Now, we shall see the real hero Pan! was, when we look into his heart, revealed in Rem. 9:1-5. A man with such abiding love for his people must have the spirit of Christ. Alter suffering such treatment at the hand of his own people, he can say: "I have great sorrow and unceasing pain in my heart." Jes:i3 died of u broken heart for the human race. Paul would endure the curae of God u that could save Israel. That shows the hero. Could anyone today do as much? That is Christ-like. Realizing the exalted position his people occupy (a) who are Israelite princes with God (Gen. 32:28) (b) who are adopted into God's family (Deut. 7:G), (c) their's was the Glory (I Sam. 4:21), (d) they had a covenant with God, binding both par tits (Gen. 17:2; Deut. 29:14; Jer. 31:33), (e) the giving of the law (Rom. Z:2; Vs. 147:10), (f) the ser vice of God (Heb. '9:1) and (g) the 1 premises j(Eph. 2:12). D. L. Moody said there were 30, 000 promises in the Bible. Paul saw his people casting all these things to the wind, disregarding their exalted position, spurning God's mercies, hav ing murder in their heart, thereby showing -'that they are from their father the devil. (John S:44). If that nation is destroyed, "how shall w e escape, if we ( neglect so great salvation?" A momeutuous question, we do well to ponder, weigh and deliberate.

Nebraska farmers are warned to be on the lookout for severe outbreaks of hog flu this month, in a bulletin issued by livestock authorities. "Like human influenza, hog flu L ch d Us form soniewhat in ; rec:nt years, but it is one of the most j difficult and costly diseases the t'arm ier has to fight," says a bulletin from j the American Foundation for Animal 1 Health. "Swine influenza is caused j by a virus some what similar to the j hog cholera virus, and is very con- ' tagious. But unlike cholera, there is I no vaccination to control it. The ani j mals have a high fever, will not eat, lie in their bed, and will resemble animals affected with cholera. In fact, cholera may be present, along with flu, unless the herd has been properly vaccinated against cholera. The only safe course is to have a veterinarian properly diagnose the disease, so that the correct treatment may be given and unnecessary losses prevented." Severe inroads on next spring's pig crop may be caused by hog flu at this time, the Foundation states, due to the effect of the disease on sows which have been bred. The sows may appear to recover, but they near ly always lose their pigs before time, or the pigs will be born dead, weak, or will die soon after birth. HCN0H W. G. EEG0ES W. G.
