Brlggs Credentials of the Master Golden Text: "I am the way, and the truth and the life." John 14-6. That the world might know that Jesus was the church, the Son of God and the special representative of the great Jehovah, bringing a message of peace, forgiveness and salvation to a sin-stricken world, many of his miracles were performed. The Mas ter said, "I pray that those standing near may hear and believe that I am the Son of God." He performed many of the supernatural things that the people might know that he was the direct messenger from high heaven, and was the Christ indeed. His en tire life was a vivid realistic demon stration of Messiahship, his birth, his faultless life, his crucifiction, his resurrection and his ascension all of these attested his divinity. His whole life proclaimed him the son of God. The master of the universe was clothed with human flesh and of the weakness thereof, that all might know he met on the same common level the problems which confront all mankind. In the instance of this lesson, he walked over the rugged mountain paths with the disciples, and when they had arrived at the well near Sychar, he was foot sore and weary, and as told in last Sunday's lesson, his lips and tongue and throat were prached by the hot, dusty air of the desert, and he was suffering like any man. While he was the son of God, he was still a human being coupled with the divinity. Following the incidents of our last lesson, he has gone on to Galliles, and there he met the nobleman whose son was sick and nigh unto death, for there was no other hope that the son might live when the grief stricken father accosted the Master, telling him of the condition of his son. The Master said, "Ex cept you see signs and wonders you will not believe." The mind of the nobleman was in tensely centered on the welfare of hi3 son. whom he loved as his own life, and he could see or hear noth ing but what was for the good of the boy, and he said, "Come down, ere my son die; for there is nothing else thatan save him," thus demonstrat ing that he had absolute faith that Christ could speak the word and make his son every whit whole. The Master answered, "Go thy way, thy son liveth," or in other words, "Your request is granted in measure as is your faith, for as you have believed, so it shall be done unto you." The nobleman, full of faith, de parted for his home, and as it was a long way, took him until the follow ing day to arrive there. In the meantime, the conditions at home, where anxious eyes and so licitous hearts were attentive at the bedside of the young man, at that very time were noticed to change, the raging fever left him and he imme diately became better and was well again. Knowing the extreme strain under which the father had left home in search of the Master, a servant was immediately dispatched with the good news and they met on the road. The servant immediately when he saw the father said "Thy son liveth,' and inquiry wa3 made as to when the change came and being informed it was at the exact time when the Mas ter had said, 'Thy son liveth," the nobleman became a follower of the Christ, together with his entire household He believed and his entire house. Now what is it to believe more than the mere ascent it is the absolute knowledge that Jesus Christ is the son of God and the Savior of the world, and the conforming of one's life to his teachings. One does just what he believes and believes what he does he could not do otherwise. When the Master walked on the sea, ne aid it to prove that he was in deed the Christ which it was prophe sied should come into the world. And when he said, "Cast your nets on the right side of the ship and ye shall find," he was merely telling the disciples, "I am the Christ." Following the catching of the net full of fish, Peter, who had a clearer insight in the things divine, fell down on his knees and said, "Depart from me for I am a sinful man, lord When Peter and the others saw (this miracle, they believed, but soon t forgot and thought that the kingdom I which was to be established was to be an earthly kingdom, and they so ueiieved until after Christ had risen 'from the dead. Then they believed and no longer doubted I Again, when Christ the son of God I did a thing, it was complete. When I he healed the man with the palsey, ' he said, "Thy sins are forgiven thee." I What did he mean? He meant that 'their sins and the result of the sins winch was the disease, were wiped out. Murder is sin, rheumatism is sin, scarlet fever, small pox and leopracy are the symbols of sin. and (where Jesus the Christ took away (ine result or sin, he removed the cause as well. In fact, he made them "every whit whole.' Christ never did things by parts. His every performance was a perfect act.

FARMERS DOING WORK AT PROFIT, SAYS PRESIDENT Statement of M. A. Larsen of Central City Cited by National Asso ciation Bulletin. A bulletin issued last week by the National Association of Real Estate Board and sent to every real estate board and every metropolitan news paper in the United States cites a statement from the president of the Nebraska Association of Real Estate Boards as an example of what is oc curing this year in agricultural dis tricts. This statement, written by M. A. Larsen of Central City is as follows: "I am pleased to inform you at this time that a wonderful change has taken place in the great state of Nebraska. Thirty days ago the farmers in this state were doing business at a loss. Today, they are realizing a handsome profit for their efforts, which is a blessing, in deed, to those who have suffered losses for the past four years. This is splendid improvement in such a short time. "One year ago thousands of Ne braska farmers asked the banker to the back room in the bank, and informed the bank it could take his chattels on which it held a recorded mortage, that he Wi H.

"The fair and diplo matic banker succeeded In getting his farmer friend to 'stick and to day he is smiling and paying his obligations, a beautiful change, but a lesson that should not be for gotten. "Yes, the thing has come over night, and all side Issues,' such as good farm loans, other commodity prices, foreign trade, and the European situation, temporarily at least have been relegated to the background as the west gives un divided attention to the great crop reports and grains and livestock prices continue to advance at the central markets. "Trains, miles long, of old corn and new wheat are rolling to mar ket, farmers by the thousands are paying debts to their banks and elsewhere, where, if the inside infor mation was at hand, the debt in many places has long since been charged off the books. Bank de posits are jumping up, and the banks that struggled along find themselves with abundance of cash: Old loans are being cleaned up, and hey are discharging long standing indebtedness with the Federal Re serve bank. "It is' hard to grasp all that this combination of a great holding of old corn, and the new crop about assured, almost a record of oats, and the big wheat yield, with the advance on the markets, means to this section."
