Jesus had finished a course of teaching in three chapters, 5-7. Now we have a lesson about his works. As he was a master-teacher, which we have seen; so now he will prove him self the master-workman, also. The miracles performed in our lesson are not wrought just to show what he could do, but they were his credentials as the ambassador of God; which fact Nicodemus testified to when he said: "No man can do these things that thou doest, except God be with him." (John 3:2; Acts 10:38). A miracle is a supernatural event in the natural world, but out of its established order, and possibly only by devine power. Jesus himself tes tifies that "the works (miracles) bear witness of me, that the father hath sent me." (John 5:36). The first miracle in our lesson is the re storing to perfect health of Peter's mother-in-law, who was bedfast with a "high fever" (Luke). Only those who have suffered from fever know how devastating a fever is; how it takes months to regain their form t-i sufiiKiu ana vigor., in tnis case there was perfect and complete res toration to health. How do we know? She arose and ministered unto them a definite proof that the effects of the fever had also disappeared. Only the Son of God could do that. This was done on the Sabbath. In the evening after 6 o'clock all the Bick in Capernaum were brought to Jesus, because news of the healing of Peter's mother-in-law had spread like wildfire through the city. What pen is able to describe the scene! The sick carried by friends and rela tives on their beds, those possessed by demons led to Jesus, and by the word of his power, they had to re lease their victims and "all" the sick were healed. Is the Great Phy sician able to do this today? Yes, he is able and willing to relieve the world of its misery and distresses and diseases. Again Jesus says: "He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do . . " (John 14:12). The apostles and tfte early church did them but to convert the world and bring it into the kingdom, is a greater work than to relieve one of a fever or a disease. The quotation from Isaiah is very difficult to explain. While Jesus suf fered and paid the penalty for the sins of all men, we do not know of him having any infirmities or dis eases, but . we think of him being scourged and beaten, ia that he suf fered in the t lesl. t Tired aad weary o( working wit& CHECK YOUR BIRTH DATE Persons 65 years of age and over who intend to make application for monthly benefits under the amended Social Security Act which makes monthly benefit payments available after January 1, 1940 should en deavor to obtain a certified copy of their birth certificate or church bap tismal record as soon as possible.

ATTEND COURT HEARING From Monday's Dally Attorney Lloyd Marti and Attor ney Robert VanPelt of Lincoln and Attorney Thomas Sheehan, of Omaha, were here today to attend the hear ing in the matter of the guardian ship of Charles Philpot. The final re port of the guardian was received. Lesson Study! By L. Neitzel, Murdock, Neb. the demons and sick, Jesus seeks a quiet place, and asks to he taken across the lake of Galilee. Here he is interrupted by a Scribe surely an honest soul who wants to enlist in Christ's service. Why did Jesus not accept him? Jesus knew man. He told him that in following him he would be deprived of many comforts of life his would be a life of self- denial which few consider; they join the church and live just like they did before. This man did not count the cost, he did not go with Jesus. Another disciple wanted to be en rolled in the company of Jesus' fol lowers, but would wait until his old father was dead and he could bury him. Jesus did not accept that ex cuse, but expected him to follow at once there is great danger in de lay. With God, it is today; no man has a tomorrow. We consider now Christ's power over nature. In the ship, tired and weary, he is soon asleep how hu man! And then the storm arose threatening the lives of the passen gers in the boat with Christ He who a short time before had work ed scores of miracles, already for gotten. Did Jesus not care if they perished? Would he not perish with them? How human! But, when called to see the dan ger, he rises majestically to the occasion, first stilling the disciples' fears, then rebuking the wind. At once there is obedience to his com mand, and a great calm no waves afterward think of the fever leav ing no weakness. The word "rebuked" gives us pause to think 4t can only be di rected to a person who causes all the discord and the disharmonies in the world that is satan, the author of all disorders alike in the natural and spiritual world. Stirred up by an alien force, even the sea obeys the rightful voice of the Lord gladly j and returns to her proper service to the race, and to effect all this, it needed only his word that was suf ficient. "O ye of little faith." Where are the multitudes of the faithful that believe in prayer? Should their voices uplifted in a cry over the turmoil and upheaval in our war mad world, as it rises to the throne of God, "Save Lord, we perish," not be answered by Him who has all power, by one word? "Peace, be Still!" It has not been tried. O ye of little faith ... let the church get to her knees and call to him it is not too late. He can say: "Hither to shaU thou come, but no further, and here shall thy proud waves be stayed" (Job 3:U).

STUDY CLUB MEETS At the Study Center Course "Im provement df Reading Saturday morning, Mr. caivin H. iteea stress ed the Importance of using prehen sion tests. "It is doubtful if pupils xbove the third grade should read orally unless they have something to give to the group or for purposes of diagnosing difficulties. When an individual reads orally the teacher 3hould note the pronunciation, in sertions, omissions, acquiring mean ing of new words, behavior, posture and voice control." Instead of purchasing standardized vocabulary tests every teacher can make her own by using the Thorn dike Work List. A short vocabulary test each week will stimulate and motivate children to make improve ments. A number of normal training stu- der ts visited the class during the test intermissions.
