JOURNEYING TO JERUSALEM.
I.K8SON TKXT-Arm 20;1-J8.
GOLDEN TKXT-I commend you to Clo.l
nd to the word of lila grace. Arts 20:S2.
After his experience In Ephesns Paul
went to Corinth, where, amidst much
tlckness nnd uftllctlon, he eared for
the churches, corrected their wrong
jonduct and probably wrote several of
lis letters and epistles (11 Cor. 4:7-11;
11 :2S; 12:20). From Corinth he Jour
neyed by way of Phlllipl to Troas
where he preached his famous long
ermon (v. 5-12), that sermon which
bad such a tragic result. It Is recorded
is a witness to the power of the pray
pr of faith and Paul's readiness to
-rve In time of need. In his haste to
ri'Mch Jerusalem before the Day of
Pentecost (A. D. 08) Paul did not re
turn to Ephcsus, but. In order to save
time, he hitd the elders of that church
meet him at Miletus (See a good
map). '
1. A Great Review (vv. 17-28). Paul's
statesmanship und genius for organi
sation Is nowhere more clearly set
forth than here. He had plans for a
great evangelistic campaign of Latin
lands, (Ch. 19:21). Before pursuing
his plan he decided to visit Jerusalem,
carrying with him the collections
which had been systematicnil taken
up In the various churches on this
tour (Horn. 15:20; I Cor. 10:1-5; Acts
24:17) and he was accompanied by a
considerable number of pilgrims. (See
v. 4.) It Is u good thing to pause occa
sionally and to take stock, to review
our lives and to see what progress we
have made. This Paul did. und to this
Kpheslnn delegation he enumerates (I)
his character among them (vv. 18-19)
They knew his manner of life, how
that, as a bond servant, and "with all
lowliness of mind." he had served
their church. They also knew that
with tears he had wept over their hard
and impenitent hearts (v. 31) und all
of this amidst many testings; (2) his
method of work (v. 20). Paul not
only worked at his trade of tentmak
lng hut found time for the public
proclamation of the gospd and also
house to house visitation. He was
cfter men. not notoriety. He was al
ways and ever at It. amidst trials, self
denial and the "lying In wait." (Am. H.
V.) of men; (3) his methods (v. 21).
He had the same message for Jew nnd
(ientlle, "repentance toward Ood nnd
faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ
Repentance Is not for Jews alone. Puul
shrank not from declaring nil that was
profitable for their encouragement, re
proof, warning, help, training In serv
ice nnd hard study. He hnd taught
them publicly in classes, and had vis
ited them from house to house and had
Invited them to his own home. Paul's
aim, ns Is the teucher's aim,' was to
tnuke all people patriotic citiiens of
the kingdom of heaven while on earth,
that they might fight the good fight of
faith against all evils, even the prin
cipalities and powers of evil.
It was a great undertaking and he
knew not what might befall him, but
he did know that bonds and affliction
awaited him; however, none of these
thlugs could move him from his pur
pose. He "counted not his life as dear unto
himself' If so be he might hold out
until the end and accomplish his
eourwe and ministry. This epoch-making
Journey, one of the greatest In his
tory, suggests in many points our
Savior's last Journey towards that
same city (Luke 9:51). Like his mus
ter, Paul knew that ahead of him were
trials, hut he also knew that Ood was
leading him In obedience to the Spir
it's guidance, though it wus over the
protests of his fricnK
II. A Great Charge (vv. 28-38). It is
a greut experience when one can de
clare hlinvelf pure irom the blood of
'II men (v. "Ji'i). and that he has not
'shrunk from declaring the whole coun
sel of Ood. Such conduct always
brings sn obligation upon those who
know and hear such men, viz., that
It should be emulated. These elders
were to return to the church 'at Ephe
sus, not to tie servants of themselves
but to feed the church of Ood (v. 28).
,Paul knew, as a prophet, what would
ibe In store for them (vv. 20-30). There
ifore he exhorts them to watch, and
warns them how by his own hands he
had supported himself and had lived a
righteous life among them (v. 84).
We have here rescued from oblivion
a new saying ( our Lord Jesus
Christ, "It Is more blessed to give than
to receive," one not found in the gos
pels. It is this giving which produces a
higher quality of happiness and a mora
noble character.
It Is the blessedness of Christ, of
heaven, and of the Christian religion,
sit is also the blessedness that en
dures. Paul then poured forth his prayer
on their behalf (vv. 36-39).
Blessed Is the Sunday-school class
and the church which has such a
teacher and such a lender.
These friends sensed the significance
of this final separation from Paul (v.
I 38), and their greater sorrow seemed
' to be to miss his tersonallty than to
' lose the help of his teaching.
No teacher's influence exceeds his
character.

EXCELLENT PROGRAM
FOR AK-SAR-BEN
Many Western Nebraska People Are
Planning on Attending Ce-lebra-Hon
at Omaha In October
Omaha, Aug. 23 Doing honor to
Nebraska by showing the various lm-,
portant steps in the development of
the state, Ak-Sar-Ilen has arranged
the most pretentious program In the
many years of successful effort of
this unique of all unique institutions.
That its program will be carried
to a successful consummation is as
sured by the business men who are
directing it for In their dictionary
there is no such word as failure. The
adoption of a plan spells success.
Ak-Sar-Ben and success are synono
mous. Love for the state has
prompted their beHt anil most pre
tentious efforts this year.
The first indication was in the
general scheme of the show at the
den this year. Historical in every
respect Ak-gar-Ben unfolds one af
ter another the most important steps
in state development in a spectacular
and convincing manner. The show
is purely educational, acquainting
Nebraskans with history heretofore
unknown to them. It is pleasing
beyond the imagination of the most
enthusiastic. It drives the great
story of a great state home with tell
ing force. Its electrical effects are
wonderful, sett'ng a pace In such ac
tivities that command universal com-1
mendatlnn.
Hut the show at Ihe den Is only a
forerunner of even more pretentious
things to be offered this fall during
the Fraud carnival and Jubilee. The
historical parsde to be given Thurs
day afternoon will revle wthe Im
portant incident In Nebraska devel
opment from the early 'flOs to the
present time. -It will carry you
tl roll nil the early days of trials nnd
tribulations to tbo present days of
prosperity, comfort and plenty. It
will make you glad you are""a Ne
brsskau. The Industrial parade on Tuesday
afternoon, Oct. 3, .will give an eye
story of the wonderful development
of this activity In the state. The
electrical parade, Wednesday even
ing, will bo on the same high plane
of former years with a theme that
will appeal to every Nebraskan.
For the lighter side will be the
Jubilee on the new grounds at Ifith
and Capitol Ave., the coronation ball
on Friday evening, and the masque
ball, a new departure, on Saturday
evening.
The scheme for the week Is one
which every Nebraskan can surely
appreciate and enjoy. The Hoard of
Governors are to be commended for
a show which surpasses' even Its best
of many excellent offerings.

Conditions in Pes Moines
as Suppressed by the Nebraska
Prosperity League
In last week's Herald, the Nebraska Prosperity League called the public's attention to
a statement in the Des Moines Capital of Feb. 19, last, reading, "Des Moines is rc civing two
carloads of liquor a day." '
The article was written by, and printed over the signature of Carl A. Dixon; and the ed
itor was in no way responsible. On March 29, the Capital published the following editorial:
"Friends of the liquor interests are making much use of the statements pub
lished in the Des Moines Capital in regard to the volume of liquor shipped to private .
individuals in this city. There are large shipments of liquor to private individuals,
but we believe the prohibitory law now in force in Iowa, has reduced the consump
tion of liquor 75 per cent.
"The campaign against liquors is going on in other states, and we can say to
all such localities that prohibition is doing good in Iowa and will continue to do
good."
Is the Nebraska Prosperity League what its members claim it to be?
Does their interest lie where they would have us believe it lies?
Is their main object to enlighten, or mislead, the public?
If they have the prosperity of the entire state in mind, why did they not quote the editorial,
also?
The Prosperity League must be "all in" for campaign material when they publish a state
ment long ago repudiated by the newspaper in which it appeared. v
