Many Beautifying Properties A good number of our Murdock citizens have been engaged in re cent days in beautifying their prop erties around their homes. After the severe drouth last summer many beautiful trees and many lawns died. Some of the dead trees have been removed and replaced by many young trees and shrubbery. This speaks well in giving the growing generation beauty and comfort froui the broiling sun in years to come, It is a sad sight for nature lovers to witness large trees, once beau titul and once filling a large place, but now gene. When they are re placed by young, hardy trees. It keeps our village beautiful and com fortable. Shrubbery and many flowers make a fine improvement to any property. They don't cost much, yet are worth a load of satisfaction and joy. A number of lawns have been reseeded lately and are showing early re sults of improvement and care. We are happy when our citizens take pride in their village to make it beautiful and clean. The growing .teds so soon to become unsight ly and which destroy our beauty, will be each one's challenge to con trol. Co-operatioa in making and keep ing our properties in order this season will give satisfaction and beauty to all nature lovers.

Here are some gifts that would please her greatly. ii i b i Mottoes Pictures Vasec Candy Call and BATES Meeting Daily Needs EVERYONE has daily needs, and In many cases they are numer ous. Thus, everywhere people are engaged in devising ways and means of meeting these needs. Food, clothing, and shelter are generally considered to be the most Important daily necessaries. Through cut the ages, humanity has worked to cultivate the soil for crops, to weave material for clothing, to build homes for shelter and repose and ships for transportation. These and other methods of supplying the needs of mankind are constantly being in creased in scope. In their turn the world's busy workers receive pay ment with which to buy these neces saries, so that the so-called law of demand and supply may be carried out. , c But sometimes this so-called law does not seem to be working proper ly. On the one hand there appears to be unemployment, stagnation of trade, poverty; and on the other, such a surplus of food that there Is no longer any demand and little re turn for It. Then, too, a sudden de crease In valuo of stocks and shares, or rents from houses or lands, may bring a sense of insecurity and even, at times, lack to the one who has re lied on a settled Income for the sup ply with which to meet his needs. In this maelstrom of material living everyone needs to find a reliable source of supply, one which cannot possibly fail, because Its basis is neither material nor limited. . . . In that most wonderful of all ser mons, the Sermon on the Mount, our Yay-shower, Christ Jesus, said (Mat thew 6:24), "No man can serve two masters," clearly showing that we cannot put our reliance on matter and material methods and still avail ourselves of the true and enduring substance which does not fall. Illus trating the need for simple trust in God, he said (Matthew 6:26): "Be hold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them." Evidently the Master discerned humanity's fear of limitation and the consequent anx ious hoarding of material things. He continued. "Seek ye first the king-, dom of God, and his righteousness;. ar d had a future of hopes and vision before him. He found great delight in serving his Christ, and in being faithful in small things. One of his last contributions for the Kingdom resulted in singing in two beautiful male quartette selections at the dis trict Evangelical Youth Rally in Lincoln last Sunday, with his pals in the Junior Callahan quartette. He was greatly beloved by the com munity for his high ideals, noble character, and his sincere and un selfish service in the cause of youth and the Kingdom of God. The funeral services were held in the Callahan Evangelical church Sunday afternoon and interment took riace in the cemetery near by. Close Successful Year The Murdock Extension club clos ed a successful year's work with a oinner and" program at the high school gymnasium Tuesday evening, April 20. Spring decorations were in evidence on the tables and through cut the program. The gathering proved a happy close for the year as the 32 members and their husbands enjoyed that annual occasion. Mrs. Henry Amgwert, retiring I resident, spoke briefly and then an nounced the newly elected officers for next year, as follows: Mrs. Har vey A. Schwab, president; Mrs. Wm. Zahel, vice president, and Miss Wilma Panska, secretary-treasurer. Many members attended and par ticipated in the annual Achievement Day program April 23. Annual Spring Rally Over two hundred young people FT r"7 iiiu mrinnn - A r Incense Burner Book Ends Stationery Sewing Baskets See Our Line of Mother's Day Cards BOOK Plattsmouth, Nebr. and all these things shall be added unto you." The kingdom of heaven, the reign of harmony for each one, is ever at hand, because our Father-Mother, God, the only source of real supply. Is omnipotent and omnipresent. No lenger, then, need arn?:Iety or fear assail us regarding the necessity of meeting today's or tomorrow's needs. When we turn wholeheartedly tov God, and realize man's inseparable oneness with Him, with all good, we can be certain that our need will be supplied. We shall begin to see that our real need is to know and dem onstrate more and more of our God given freedom, health, and happi ness. Encouraging us along thi3 pathway of right thinking, Mary Baker Eddy says in "The First Church of Christ, Scientist, and Mis cellany" (p. 186). "Rest assured that He in whom dwelleth all life, health, and holiness, will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory." - What unspeakable comfort, what a loosening of heavy burdens, for all those whose family, business, or career needs daily care! When one seeks first the constant supply of spiritual ideas, of wisdom, intelli gence, loving-kindness, co-operation, and purity, through quiet, unselfed contemplation of the spiritual nature of man as the child of God, every right endeavor will be abundantly blessed for the benefit of all. To such a one there is no insurmountable bar rier of lack, unemployment, or stag nation; for he is proving the truth that each idea of divine Mind Is ever engaged In true activity, where the enduring qualities of Mind are being joyously expressed. Then let us array our whole thought on the side of good, of abundance, and not waste time thinking or talking of evil, since it ras neither place nor opportunity for expression in God's harmonious plan for each of His children. No one is left out of the Father's loving care. With joy and gratitude we can prove the truth of Mrs. Eddy's tender words on page 307 of "Miscellaneous Writ ings": "God gives you His spiritual ideas, and In turn, they give you daily supplies. Never ask for to-morrow: it is enough that divine Love is an ever-present help; and if you wait, never doubting, you will have all yo-i need every moment." 7'he ci'n9 Science Monitor. r-nd nine pastors met in the annual Spring Rally of the southeast district of the Evangelical Youth Union last Sunday afternoon and evening, April 25th, in the beautiful new First Evangelical church in Lincoln. Nebraska. The Murdock Christian Endeavor presented a 30-minute worship pro Mam in the afternoon under the leadership of Mrs. Harvey Schwab. This was followed by special musical and speaking numbers by represen tatives from other fields in the dis trict. A recreational period, conducted by Alfred Wilkes, a Negro lad of Lincoln, was greatly enjoyed before the fellowship hour. He taught and directed the young people in a num ber of Negro Spirituals and in the fine art of singing them. The evening meeting featured r. l. essage of challenge by a Lincoln minister and special music from sev eral fields. A sacred, silent com munion service closed the day's ex periences.
