"Jesus, the Good Shepherd"
John 10:1-16.
One cf the most beautiful charac
teristics ef Jesus is here given. His
lender, loving sympathy is portrayed
i y John as the "good shepherd." This
brings i'p memories of the long ago
la.-t. We think here of Abe!. Jacob,
Joseph. Moses and David. The latter
is especially dear to the Christian,
I'.c having left us a goodly heritage
in the 2:Jrd Bsalm. which has been a
l ieli banauet for many a hungry soul
pointing out the contrast between
shepherds that were hirelings and
li.: true shepherd. "The Lord is my
shepherd."
Tlu- scene pictured in this lessson
was very familiar to Jesus' audience:
they In l the picture before them;
!hf-( J::(iean hills had been the pas-t;!'-(-s
flocks for centuries. Here it
was '.there David tended his father's
f l.eep, vhero he learned to play the
bar) that later so enchanted King

that brought him into prominence
and l:nuViy, the Kingdom. Here it was
where lie risked his life to save a
sheep fr-i:i a hear and lion like bis
j.,.,. ;; an,son ater, who gave his
life for hi- shcpp sweet memories.
Here it v.-uo where shepherds watch
ed ihir Hoik:; by night the herds
that were used in the daily sacri
fices In the temple at Jerusalem. This
pastural scene is spiritualized by our
Lord. ;;n: John bus preserved it loi
ns. In this c'i1'; on ire Jesus points out
how he

mail's uccpes: needs in life love
care, protection, mm; ishment, lead

ing. security really only those th
know ('brut c.-n teach this lesson!
J(sus never began a discourse with
"Verily, erily.". This not only must
be taken as a continuation of the
preceding chapter, but it emphasizes
the great importance he places on the
matter. The Jews had e::communi- !
cated the man to whom Christ had
just restored sight they were not
"good s-hepherds." They were rather
the kind we find described in Ezekiel
34:2-0; but in a prophetic vision,
Ezekiel sets the Good Shepherd in
verses 11 to 1G. Blease read Ezekiel,
3 4th chapter in its entirety).
This allegory should have been
easy to understand; but prejudice and
sin had darkened their mind to such j
a degree that Jesus told them that
they were "blind and their sin re
mained." (John 9:41). This allegory
represents Christ as the head of his
church and the sheep those that have
accepted his leadership, the members
of the c hurch militant.
No one can enter into the true
relationship with God except through
Jesus Christ (see John 14:6). There

Madison Friday as soon as notined or

Mrs. Ofe and Mr. and Mrs. Edward
Ofe, reaching there before the young
man passed away.
The members of the family sur

is no other "way." "I am the way."
All power is given unto Him. He
alone can give sight to the blind, life
to the dead (in sin), admission into
his kingdom. Then why do men try
to evade him? Any other way is tried,
but no one can get in "but by me."
"I am the door." Let the sinner re
pent of his sins, "the wicked forsake
his way, and the unrighteous man
his thoughts and let him return un
to the Lord, and he will have mercy
upon him. and unto our God, for he
will abundantly pardon." (Isa. 55:7).
That is God's way. It costs some
thing, for man must give up his sin
ful life, acknowledge his wrong do
ing pride keeps many out of the
Kingdom. "Quit your meanness" is
the way Ram Jones puts it. Man is
the party that has most to gain by
such a partnership. The first is:
(a) "Love" of God. In John 14:23
we read, "My Father will love him,
and we (the Father, Son and Holy
Spirit) will come unto him, and make
our abode with him."
(b) Care. "I am come that they
(the sheep) might have life (in green
pastures) and that they might have
it more abundantly."
(c) Protection. "They shall never
perish, neither shall any man pluck
them out of my hand . . . no man is
able to pluck them out of my Fath
er's hand.
! (d) Nourishment. "He prepareth
;a table before me . . . my cup run-:

. I shall not want!" In

Murray
Many from Nehawka and vicinity
were in Murray last Friday to a card
party and dance.
Little Lavina Troop was attending
the birthday party given to the little
cousin, Billie Wehrbein.
Shrader Rhoden was called to Iowa
last week where he went to purchase
a number of head of cattle which he
also sold to a farmer here.
Hobart Blake was called to Blatts
mouth Friday of last week to look
after some business in connection
with the business he conducts here, j
Bud Young, salesman for the C. A. j
Ruse Motor company of Plattsmouth,
was a visitor in Murray last Friday
looking after some business .matters.
Kelley Rhoden of near Union, was
called to Murray Monday of this week
to look after some business and was
also visiting his mother, Mrs. Anna
Rhoden.
Earl Lancaster was called to Platts
mouth last Friday to look after some
business matters and while there was
a guest of his brother, Jarvis Lan
caster and family.
John Jacob Stones, living on the
Davis place a short distance west
of Murray, recently made the pur
chase of a John Deere tractor and
its complements of farming machin
ery. Enjoying the South.
A letter from W. G. Boedeker who
with the wife are spending the win
ter in Miami, Florida, tells of them
both enjoying the south with the av
erage temperature ranging between
70 and SO degrees in the shade, with
plenty of sunshine. They expect to
remain in the south until the cold
weather we are having lets up.
Have Some New Books.
The Murray library which is con
tinually adding to their stock of
books, has recently received a num
ber of new books which have been
placed on the shelves. If you want
to read new books, now is the time.
You have a "good public library in
Murray and it is up to you all to do
what you can to push the services as
far as possible.
Water Problem Agitating Jlurray.
The matter of water for the city
of Murray is growing worse with
the passing of the days. Some of
the wells where the water is" rather
scarce have been closed to the public
and water is being hauled to many!
of the places in Murray. Frank
Mrasek with his water tank has been
called upon to supply water to a num
ber of places. Murray is not alone
with its scarcity of water, for other
places are the same. The demand for
more moisture is widespread, both for
ordinary use and as well for crop pur
poses. We are hoping for a better
season and we as one believe we are
going to get it.
The Snow Interferes.
The recent slight snow, but which
drifted very badly has caused much
trouble on the side roads. Many have
found it very difficult to get through
the drifts, many getting stalled, re
quiring help to get cut. This makes
it very inconvenient to the farmers
to get their produce to town and in
getting f.pplics for the home. But
this will soon be over and all roads
open again.
Hurray Parties in Court.
Dating back several weeks and
some months in 'fact has been some
cases of Murray people in court,
which have been waiting for the con
vening of the district court to settie.

SAYS TRUCKS JUNK
From Wednesday's Daily
Editor of Journal:
In reading last night's paper, I
think there should be some explan
ation. In the first place, if the city
would put out some half way decent
trucks there would not be a high re
pair bill, the trucks were fitted for
the junk pile when I worked on Cth
St. last winter. As far as the work
is concerned under the conditions we
have to work with, anyone who has
worked at common labor will know
and realize that the work has been
successful. I am not speaking for my
self but every man who is working
up here on the job. I am letting my
foreman use my home as an office
also. I am letting them use my gar
age as a tool shed at no cost what
soever. So if the city dads are so
skeptical why don't they pay rent
same as on Cth St. when they had an
office down there?
Every man on WPA is willing and!
will work on this Wintersteen hill
project. And I also think it was time
there was something done on Win
tersteen Hill, as I pay out as much
as the average. Why should we have
to wear rubber boots to go to town
on account of the mud and ice? Just
because we are getting some improve-
mcnt on the Hill is no reason we
should be criticized us fellow men
who are working here. As far as our
foreman is concerned, I am speak-; do this sum::rr. 1 Lave no feed to

is what they want I'm afraid there
would not be much done and a lot of
dissatisfaction. After all, how many
people could live on $40 per mo. This,bany and dam 4

DISAGREEABLE EXPERIENCE
From Wednesday's Daily
Last evening two of the local high
school students had several disagree
able hours following the close of the
basketball game. The boys had
brought autos and parked them along
the Main street curb in front of the
school. When they came from the
game the cars were missing.
The cars were a 1936 Plymouth
sedan belonging to John Hobscheidt
and the Chevrolet coupe of Warren
Reed.
The boys reported the matter to
the police and Sheriff Homer Sylves
ter and a tour was made over the
jcity to try and locate the cars while
Sheriff Sylvester notified the Omaha
police to be on the lookout for the
missing cars.
This morning the two cars were
found parked in the alley between!
Main and Pearl street south of where
they had been left by their owners.
The keys had been left in the cars
and it is thought they had been taken
for a joke.

John Chappell received a letter
this morning from a friend who has
suffered from the flood. Simon Bour,
who writes, lives 12 miles south of
New Albany, Xy., a half mile rrom
the river and on relatively high
ground. He writes:
"Well, John the 1937 flood war,

enough feed to tide me over but the

He speaks of different hemes which
were earri.d away. "There are only
