While Mr. and Mrs. John E. Schutz
and Mrs. Martha J. Peterson were
visiting Sundsy at the home of Mr.
and Mrs. A. L. Todd near Ashland,
Mrs. Schutz was the victim of a very
painful accident that will make it
necessary for her to wear her arm in
a f-iing for some time. The party had
motored to Ashland to secure Miss
Florence Schutz who has been there
visiting, on Saturday and to remain
over Sunday. Early Sunday morning
Mis. Schutz stepped out on the porch

BIBLE SCHOOL LESSON
Sunday, August 17th
By M. S. Brlggs

Graft Then and Now
Golden Text: "My house shall be
called a house of prayer." Matthew
21:13.
Thirty years ago the writer went
to Perry, Iowa, to live and after we
had been there but a short time en
gaged in the barber business. A
wiseacre slipped us the information
that if we wished to succeed, we
would have to go to the Methodist
church and belong to the republi
can party. This man thought he
had read the "handwriting on the
wall." The matter of church fairs, of
selling chances on a bedspread or of
giving dances in the church build
ing and the similar practice, is much
is line with the practice of the ones
who made a market place of thj
church of God in the older days.
The worship at the temple had
degenerated into much formalism
and all the show and tinsel was tak
ing place of the true worship for
which the temple had been built.
The corridors of the temple were
used by the money changers who
were located there to exchange the
Hebrew money for that of the dif
ferent countries from which the
Ieop4e came, as the oxen, sheep and
doves had to be purchased in He
brew money. A high rate was charg
ed for converting the money of the
country from which they came. You
can guess how those shrewd old Jews
skinned those who came from some
remote part to the celebration of the
feasts and could not bring their sac
rifices with them. Then again those
who sold the oxen, sheep and doves,
gave them a good trimming on the
price they charged. This practice
has come down to our day. And it
is aceentuated in the way that the
people who r.ttend any great gath
ering are skinned in hotel rates and
every conceivable way. New York
was a fair sample of the manifesta
tion of this spirit at the time of
the national democratic convention,
which was held this summer.
This spirit and practice prevailed
to a moft proncunced extent at the
time of the coming cf Christ. He
was truly incensed at the conditions
which he found, and when he found
the rich old Jewish money sharks
and grafters selling things for the
sacrifice, he was justly indignant,
for he had come to cure the ills of
the people and making a whip or cat
of nine tails, drove the oxen and
sheep out of the temple, dumped the
cages containing the doves out of
the doors and overturned the tables
used by the money extortionists and
said. "Take these things hence, make
not My father's house a house of
merchandise."
Even at this time the same means
are justified at the present day, with
the prev llence of practices which ob
tain. Not alone in commercial cir
cles, but in politics, society and the
church. It is no wonder that there
are I. W. W's. or anarchists who
seek to rectify conditions by abso
lute forcible means.
The responsibility of the present
condition and practice rest3 on the
shoulders of the church supplemented
by the better elass of citizens and
could they disemminate the real
teachings of the Master it would
effect a cure.
When asked by what authority do
thou these things. He answered: "De
stroy this temple and in three days
I will raise it up.' Their reply was,
"Forty and six years was this tem
ple in building and will you raise it
up in three days?" They had failed
to grasp the true sense of the proph
ecy which he had uttered. Even the
disciples did not comprehend the
meaning of His remark.
When the Master was crucified
and in three days arose from the
dead, they remembered his saying,
and believed the scriptures. Search
the scriptures for in them you think
you have eternal life and they are
those which testify of the Master.
HAS A REAL TRIP
From Monday's Dally
George C. Sigler, of Los Angeles,
California, who has been here visit
ing with the members of the Val
lery family here, departed v-esterday
for Broken Bow, near where he had
made his home for a number of
years and where he will renew ac
quaintance with the friends of other
days. Mr. Sigler on his trip had a
very wonderful time and which has
covered a great deal of the United
States and its possessions. He left
Los Angeles by boat andymade the
trip through the Panama canal with
its glimpses of the life of the tropics
and landed at New York. From there
he journeyed on a sentimental trip
to the place of his birth, Pittsburg,
Pennsylvania, which great industrial
city is greatly changed from his boy
hood days when he resided there and
when the great future of that city
was still a dream.
From Pittsburg, Mr. Sigler follow
ed his boyhood trail to the west and
came to Plattsmouth, where he has
enjoyed every minute of his stay with
the relatives and old friends. Some
of his happiest days were spent here
and the time spent here this time
will long be remembered. He is
planning if possible to return here
for a longer stay before going on to
the western home.
