BIBLE COMMENT
UNLIKE GOD. MAN'S
COURSE IN HISTORY IS
MARKED BY ERROR
After Christmas, of course,
comes New Year’s Day. And
since in Christmas we cele
brate the birth of Jesus, and
on New Year’s day we cele
brate the beginning of a year
ostensibly reckoned from His
birth, the days would have
been identical if everything in
history had worked with the
exactness that some w'ould
like.
As it is, we are forced to
recognize how' greatly human
affairs fall short of the pre
cision that marks the move
ments of the heavenly bodies
and the exact operation of the
laws of nature.
God's operations are con
stant, exact, and dependable;
but man's' course in hsitory
is marked by error, ignor
ance. uncertainty and trag
edy.
After the first Christmas, af- !
ter the coming of the Christ, i
came blight and blessing
Goodness flowered in the
founding of the church, in the j
mission of the disciples, and in
the world struggle for right
and truth; but evil flowered in
the outbursts of hatred and
violence, persecution and de
struction Jesus came to give
life and to give it more abun
dantly; but evil powers sought
only to destroy.
It was but a few years be
fore the Christians were under
the fires of persecution, and
new and terrible tragedies
were upon the Jews in the
sacking of Jerusalem, and the
destruction of the Temple,
which Jesus had foretold.
The glory of the goodness and
the darkness of the evil that
followed so soon upon the first
Christmas are portrayed with
vividness and grandeur in that
strange last book of our Bible
that we call the Book of the
Revelation.
In contrast with the sim
plicity and directness of the
Gospels, and the plain lan
guage of the Epistles, this
book is full of symbolic
meanings and colorful imag
ery.
Some wise interpreters think
that the value and message of
the Book are to be found in
the broad sweep of the por-,

New Year s Is Good
I ime to Resolve
By A. STROLLER
PHOENIX. ARIZ., Dec. 28 —
As I write this. Christmas is
past and the old year is ra-1
pidly coming to a close. On
my way home the other eve
ning, I stopped a moment and
took a long look up and down
^entral Avenue. It was a bril
liant scene as the electric lights
and decorations glistened in
Ihe rain-washed streets and it
n.ade me rather sad to think
that the picture would all too
oon fade from view. That the
bright lights would go out, the
festive trimmings would come
down, the Christmas trees and
holiday displays would dis
appear, the crowds would di
minish and the town would re
sume its usual appearance.
The inspiring music of
the Christmas season, which
has been pouring forth in
volume for many days, has
already ceased.
Yes, Christmas is past, the
old year is on the way out and
a new year is swiftly approach
ing and I reflected as I stood
there on the reactions ol dif
ferent people to that import
ant event. They have been
wishing each other a Merry
Christmas as they met and now
they will greet each other with
a Happy New Year, but what
will the greeting signify? Vari
ous things, obvoiusly, to vari
ous people. Some will approach
the coming year thoughtfully,
some courageously, some pray
erfully, some indifferently and
some frivolously.
The new year—the year
1949—may easily be under
present world conditions one
of the most crucial in the his
tory of the human race, but
how many of us will realize
that fact?
Will we approach the end
, of the old year in a sober,
thoughtful mood and greet
the new year with courage
and high cesolve or will we
think of New Year's eve as
just an occasion for a big
and boistrous celebration?
Nothing objectionable about
a New Year’s eve celebration,
of course. I like to hear the
whistles blow and the bells
ring at midnight as well as
anybody else, but New Year’s
should mean more than that, it
seems to me.
It used to be customary for
people to make good resolu
tions at the beginning of the
new year and it wasn't a bad
idea. As individuals and citi
zens, I think we would pro
fit by reviving the custom.

Lights).

■TATE HISTORICAL SOC1ATY
Convening of the 61st session
of the legislature at Lincoln
this week calls to mind that
Nebraska’s capital city was th^
scene of its first legislative
session in 1869, just 80 years
ago.
Although that meeting was
known as the first regular ses-'
sion, it actually was the fifth
session of the state legislature, j
Four sessions were held in the
old territorial capitol building
at Omaha while the new state
capitol was being constructed.
In his message to the leg
islature, Got. David Butler
reviewed Nebraska's progress
in little less than a year of
statehood, and outlined what
he considered to be the most
important problems facing
the lawmakers convened in
Lincoln.
In certain respects they were
problems which are faced by
today’s legislators — schools,
support of the state govern
ment, and care of the depend
ent and unfortunate.
They had other problems
which Nebraskans do not face
today. One of these was pro
tections against the Indians.
The Governor urged that pro
vision be made lor a regular
militia, so that "those w'ho go
out upon the frontiers should
be made to feel that the strong
arm of the State will be swift
and constant to extend to them
full protection.”
Another problem facing the
legislature in 1869 was the
management of the Lancaster
county salt deposits. These
were expected to become large
producers of salt and were one
of the reasons why the state
capital was located at its pres
ent site. While still optimistic
Governor Butler was disturbed
at the rate of progress being
made.
The fault, according to his
annual message, seemed to
lie with the company devel
oping the deposits. Govern
or Butler told the legislature:
"So far has it failed that the
local demand for salt has not
been supplied, and that it
has been unable at times to
supply even a single bushel
for home consumption."
Probably the most exciting
feature of the legislative ses
sion of 1869 was the election
af a United States senator to
succeed Thomas W. Tipton.
After a spirited contest, Sen
ator Tipton was re-elected.
Probably the most notable
and enduring legislation enact
ed in 1869 was the establish
ment of the University of Ne
brasa. The act was signed Feb
ruary 15—celebrated each year
as “Charter Day.”
