I In our Christmas meditations, all our thinking centers in the "Babe of Bethlehem," which is all proper find logically correct; but when we look lor a reason or motive for this extra ordinary event, then the spirit of ma:: has to search out " the deep 1 things of God." (I Cor. 2:10). And that leads him to the foundation of all wisdom and that is God. God is love and Love found a way to re deem man, who was lost, in trespass and sin, without any exception "they are all under sin." (Rom. 3:9, 10; Ps. 14:3). So here comes John the "beloved" Apostle of Love, who seems to have drunk deeper of the fountain of Love, than any other living man; deeper than Paul, who gave us the matchless "hymn of Love." .1 Cor. 13 . Yes. John goes back to the be ginning (John 1:1) and in his Epis tles it's the same. (I John 1:1). "That whk-h was from the beginning . . . the life was manifested and wo have seen it and bear witness. It is John' who tells us that "God is light," "God is Love" and "God is Life." .1 John 1:5; 4:S; 5:11). Now we have the motive for our Christmas medita tion and thinking: "God so loved the world ..." Love must manifest itself; it must have a subject to love, in this case it is man. The intensity of God's love to man is shown in that "he gave his .nly begotten Son" as a propitiation for a lost race his ene-nik-s sinners, aliens, strangers, all hoi-eier.oly lost. (See Eph. 2:1-19). We Kindy today the character of God, and the innermost experience of our hearts. The hardest and deep est lesson of the year yea of all the years and "who is sufficient for these things?" (II Cor. 2:16). But Join in our les-:on lifts the veil, opens the door, and lets the light shine in. The entire Usson deala with believers: only they can understand; "the nat ural man receiveth not the things of the spirit of God, for they are fool ishness unto him, neither can he know them, because they are spirit ually discerned." (I Cor., 2:14). The word or term, Love, bcloveth, occurs twenty times in our lesson. One of the words for love used in the New Testament is that of mere human affection, although it is used also when God i3 spoken of as being a friend of man. The other woid speaks of a more utterly unselfish affection, a leve which is seen in all Its fulness in God himself and which was manifested in our Lord, Jesus Christ, when here below; it is this love John has in mind when he says, "Beloveth, let us love one another." All love is of God; a true child of God is begotten of him, is a partaker pf God's nature, is one of his child feu. If we are children of God, par SEEKS WORD OF FATHER The Journal has been asked by Gloria Irene Berggren, 15, of Omaha, to try through a newspaper appeal to get some word of the whereabouts of her father. Carl J. Berggren. Mr. Berggren lived in this city when a boys and was schooled here and lived here some two years after his mar riage in 1906. In 1924 he departed for Midwest, Wyoming, in the oil fields and has not been heard from sine?. He would be 56 years of age now. If any of the old residents here or anyone else has heard from him or have knowledge of his where abouts, please notify Gloria Irene Berggren, 4419 North 39th street, Omaha. SMALL CAR CRASH Sunday night a small auto accident occurred south of this city on high way No. 75, when an Illinois car driven by a man named Faul, crash ed into the car of Norman Gamblin. Tho highway at this point is quite icy and the car of Gamblin it i3 claimed, skidded on the ic ice and was struck by the other car. The Illi nois car was damaged a great deal. Lesson Study! By L. Neitzel, Murdock, Neb. takers of his nature, and God is love, it is inevitable that .we shall love one another. "God is Love." In threse three words, we have one of the most tre mendous statements in the Bible. It is the Bible in miniature. Here is all we want. These are the words out o which all the other words come. This is the commentator of the whole scripture. The greatness of God's love is seen in that he loved us so much, so intense, that he would give up the greatest treas ure that he possessed his only Son to save man from destruction; to pay for our redemption the ransom demanded by law. It cost God a great price to save man (see I Pet. 1:18, 19; I Cor. t:19, 20); now man is not his own master, to do as he pleases; he belongs to him who bought him but with this differ ence so beautifully expressed by Paul to his friend Philemon (verse 16), "Not a servant, but above a ser vant, a brother," and our Lord has another word just as tender and beautiful: "Ye are my friends." (John 15:14). Having acknowledged that God is love and having partaken of His nature, man can do no other than to love his fellow creatures otherwise he becomes a liar. (I John 4:20). A very illuminating state ment follows (Chapt. 3:9, 10) which ! leaves no doubt of how God classi fies such people. Our confession 'of Jesus Christ is very important. It is more than just to say: "I believe on the Lord Jesus Christ as my personal saviour." That is often only repeated after some "worker" has laid it into the mouth of some altar, and then the "seeker" at the 'Keeker" is made to believe that he or she is saved. That is a calamity it is tragic it is ('eccit of the worst kind. No one need to tell a coul that he has "pass ed from death unto life" who, hav ing been blind, now sees for when God's spirit fills the soul, that per son will not only know they have been abundantly saved but can sing with great fervor that old and fa miliar hymn: "What a wonderful change in my life has been wrought Since Jesu3 came into my heart I have light in my soul for which long I have nought Sinco Jesus came into my heart Floods of joy o'er my soul Like the sea billows roll Since Jesus came into my heart! Thousands of "converts" of today have no experience such as described above. Poor, deluded souls! Who is to blame for their miserable religion? We love, because he lirst loved us We do not guess at this; John says "we know" thirty-two times in Unseat a hospital. Dr. L. S. Pucelik and Epistle, and we KNOW it too.

Mayor Lushinsky stated that it was necessary to secure definite proof of law violations to secure the re moval of a license. Councilman Bestor stated that un der the state law the outside places had to have the same closing hours as that of the nearest incorporated town or city. He also stated that drinking in cars or spiking beer was contrary to the state law. If a license or two was revoked it would set an object lesson to all of the dealers. The motion to prepare a closing hour amendment was defeated how ever by a G to 4 vote, Bestor, Tip pens, Hall and Brittain for the clos ing hour ordinance and Webb, Rebal, Puis, Johnson, Schutz and Vroman voting no. Considerable discussion was ha over the claim of John Bauer for $16.87 for repairs on one of the old trucks that had been bought a year ago for WPA work on Sixth street. The truck had been borrowed for use in the cemetery and it whs claimed had been put out of commission. The truck wa3 driven by a member of the city force and the dispute was over whether or not the proper driver had been used. Councilman Bestor, who had objected to the allowing of the claim, stated that the three men that he had recommended as truck drivers were well acquainted with the truck and able to handle them better than someone that was unused to these old trucks. Councilman Tippens failed to see why a man that could drive a car could not drive a truck. The matter was settled by the mo tion of Hall that the amount of $16.S7 be paid out of the general fund as it would have to be paid by some part of the city government. Thi3 was carried with Councilman Bestor voting no. The following claims were ordered paid by the council: Chas.

RAILROADS DOING WELL The passenger travel on railroads seems to be at a high peak at this season of the year and especially the travel on the Zephyrs of the Curling ton. A local family sought to secure a reservation on the castbound Zephyr preceding the Christmas day and found all passage on these fast trains had been reserved until after the Christinas season.

Her heme was Methodist and she haa re mained active in the church. She is a member of the Methodist church in Plattsmouth at the present time. Tells of Early Days She tells many interesting stories of her early days in North Carolina. Her school days, the families' meth ods of working, modes of travel, homes with their split rail fences, dresses all so different from those of today prove fascinating subjects. She is also able to tell of the hard ships caused by the Civil war when the confederate money was of little value and a calico dress cost 570. A pair of shoes would cost $70. The ladies spun and wove their own bed spreads and blanket.! as well as other materials. They made candles for lights. In 1SG3, Mrs. rerry'3 father, An derson Thompson Glenn, died.
