Tliis eighteenth chapter should be u.-ed entire for study; it presents j three distinct sections, and they form a whole: (a) The beauty of oriental hospitality; (b) The worth i of friendship, and (c The virtue and power of intercessory prayer. The whole becomes simple if studied under these three heads. Hospitality amon the orientals is proverbial he will share all he has with a guest or a stranger who comes to his tent. Water for his dusty feet and refresh ments are provided and the host will do the honors and be servant to his guests. Jesus knew the customs as we rend in Luke 7:36-50, and by example showed what was custo mary, and a neglect was a dishonor to the guest or friend. Angels have been entertained unawares, by ex tending hospitality (Heb. 13:2); and Jesus, at the day of judgment finds one cause of man's condemnation in these words: "I was a stranger, and ye took me not in." (Matt. 25:43). This was also a characteristic of the first Christians and the pioneers of the west, but by accumulating wealth and independence this virtue has largely been lost. Friendship finds expression here as nowhere else. Friendship i3 a deep, quiet, enduring affection that is founded upon mutual respect and esteem ; it implies some degree of equality, while love does not. One may have love for an' inferior or an enemy. Three times Abraham is mentioned as the "Friend of God." (II Chronicle3 20:7; Isa. 41:8 and James 2:23). Our Lord called his disciples "friends." (See John 16: 14. 15). Who has not admired the extraordinary friendship between David and Jonathan! (See I Sam. 20). In this mutual confidence, God condescends to meet his "friend" and makes known his intentions and plans; there are no secrets between friends. The most astonishing thing about the whole matter is that the creator of heaven and earth takes man into his confidence, thereby showing his great interest in man takes him into partnership and man becomes in reality a co-worker with God. (I Cor. 3:9). Do men appreci ate the honor? God gives man an interest in his business as seen in Mat. 25:14-29; thus place3 him un der responsibility ' as well as enjoy ing participation in the fruits ot faithful labor. Having disposed of the first two items, namely, Hospi tality and Friendship, we shall now see Abraham in intercessory prayer. After tt'3 three men had .been enter- Has Knee Injured. While Mrs. John Opp was about her work she slipped, and in falling struck one of her knees on a hard object, cutting the leg below the knee, leaving a severe laceration. She is getting better now. Home From Kansas. Donald Bickford and family who were called to Kansas on account of the injury to the brother of Mrs. Bickford who was injured while farming. The injured man was slightly improved when they return ed home. Speaking of the condition of crops in Kansas, they state they are very good, having an abundance of rain lately. Visited Daughter in Omaha. Mr. and Mrs. R. C. Bollard were in Omaha last Sunday where they enjoyed a visit for the day at the home of their daughter (Polly) now Mrs. Robert C. Verne. On their re turn trip Mr. and Mrs. Pollard drove from Murray via the new crushed etone road and found it in excellent condition. Keeps Yell Informed. In order that he might keep well informed as to what was doing in the country Miller Christensen who has been compelled to look after the chores at the time of the early news period, it coming at the time he is usually milking and wanting to know what was on the calendar as he had to return to the field work after the morning meal and so had a radio installed at the barn. Moved to the Country. E. J. Kruger who is employed on (the W. O. Troop farm took a day off ! last wek to assist his brother, Lyle j Kruger who is known as Jack and j Tied and the w ife move to the Bank farm on O street where they will make their home for the summer. Home for Week End. Messrs. Robert and Ellis Schlicte- Lesson Study! By L. Neitzel, Murdock, Neb. tained and the promise of an heir had been reaffirmed, Abraham goes with them part way, while two angels go on. The Lord (Jehovah) remains behind to reveal to Abra ham bis purpose of coming. "Abra ham has been made the repository of a blessing for all nations. An account must therefore be given to him when any people are summarily removed beyond the possibility of receiving this blessing; he will inevitably de sire to know that this execution is to be and why it is to be." (Marcus Dods). The Lord, speaking to himself said: "For I have known him" (v. 19) what he will do. By obedience and righteousness, his seed will con tinue in God's favor, an object les son like the destruction of the cities and the Dead Sea should be ample warning to desist from evil doing. These things would forever cry out to the people: "Except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish." They could never attribute to chance the predicted judgment. Knowing that his nephew. Lot and family live in Sodom, and believing that there should be anyway as many as fifty righteous people there, in his great compassion and sympathy he begins to intercede for the cities. Here is proof that the "effectual, fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much." (James 5:16). The best that was in Sodom was saved; and those four were not too right eous. Six times Abraham endeavors to change the Lord's mind. The con ditions- must have been terrible in those cities the Lord says: "Their sins are very grievous." (v. 20). Paul gives us the details in Romans 1:26-32, corroborating what we read in Gen. 18:5. But God will not condemn anyone before making sure the case is as re ported; therefore he says: "I will go down now and see." (v. 21). Having seen the conditions, he cannot do otherwise than to destroy them or they would corrupt the whole race. Their doom is sealed the judgment must follow. In this connection, we should observe the value of a good man in a community, like Lot did for Zoar. "Ye are the salt of the earth." (Matt. 5:12). It is the spirit filled church that keeps the world from being destroy ed; she is staying the judgment of God. "The Spirit and the bride (church) Bay Come." (Rev. 22:17). "O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk in the light of the Lord.' (Isa. 2:5). May men listen and heed the warning, before God will pro nounce his "Woes." (See Matt. 11: 23). "Our God is a consuming fire." (Heb. 12:29). Laughing Around the World With irvin s. COBB Protecting the Gentler Sex By IRVIN S.

COURT HEARS ARGUMENTS The Nebraska supreme court heard arguments Monday on the appeal of Clara A. Streight, former resident of Plattsmouth now living in Oakland, Calif., from the refusal of the district court at Omaha to give her $4,000 damages asked from the First Trust company of Dmaha and its successor, the Omaha National company. She held $6,000 worth of a $75,000 mort gage bond issue, and claims she was damaged because the company con cealed from her that the interest was in oefault, by itself advancing the interest to bondholders. She charges that this was done by the trust com pany officials in order to keep an open market for the mortgage bonds, and that it was diligent in protect ing its own second mortgage for $3, 750. Company attorneys said the scatute of limitations prevented main tenance of the action as she had changed her claim from one in tort to one charging conversion. They said she :r.s the only objecting bond holder, and that had she known the interest was in default she could have done nothing on her own account, so that she had no opportunity to pro tect herself from loss, as she said she could have done had she known. Mrs. Streight is the wife of Monte Streight, they making their home here for some years at the farm just north of this cit Daily Journal, 15c Der week.
