To Have Basketball Team
The Murray high school is to have

and as the doctor is a very enthusias
tic young man, it is reasonable to
suppose that the team will develop
pep and win some good games.

resident of the community west of

Mr. Herrin has been an excellent
citizen and neighbor in the com
munity in which he has lived for so
many years, and his friends and
neighbors are very loath to see him
depart, but the loss which the com
munity will sustain will enrich the
city of Plattsmouth for this estim
able couple will make any place the
better in which they may choose to
reside.

KECEIVES HIGH HONOR
From Tuesday's Paily
Carl Schneider of this city who
last year served at left guard on the
fast football team of Hastings col
lege, champions of the Nebraska con
ference, has been selected by the
1924 team as the captain. This hon
or comes well deserved for Mr.
Schneider as he has contributed some
splendid work both in football and
basketball to Hastings college and
his record is one of the best of any
players in these two sports at the
Presbyterian school. Mr. Schneider,
while a student at the Plattsmouth
high school, was one of the depend
able players on the football and .bas
ketball teams and his recognition by
the state college is very pleasing to
his host of friends here, who will
watch with interest the progress of
the Hastings team on the gridiron
this season and if the team is as ef
ficient as its captain there is no
doubt that the Hastings bunch will
be strong contenders for another
championship at the close of the
season. Carl is the son of Mr. and
Mrs. H. A. Schneider of this city,
and is a real all round athlete and a
true lover of sports.

BIBLE SCHOOL LESSON
Sunday, September 27
M. S. Brless
Fulfilling the Law, Review
The present quarter's lessons ba
gan with the birth of Jesus the
Christ and included his boyhood, his
temptation, his baptism, the select
ing of his disciples, his first miracle,
his cleansing of the Temple, the
healing of the Centurion's son, the
marriage feast at Cana, the discourse
at Nazareth and the healing of the
leper. Following the manifestation
through all his acts, the demonstra
tion that he was the Son of God and
that he came to fill the mission on
which he was sent, he demonstrated
more strongly He had come not to
break the law but to fulfill it and
this he did in every instance. When
John the Baptist said "I have need
to be baptized of thee and comest
thou to me," the Master replied:
"Thus it becometh us to fulfill all
righteous." Teaching it was neces
sary to obey the law. Ilia obedience
was but the fulfilling of prophecy
as his coming had been foretold and
just under what circumstances.
In every lesson we find him con
forming to the law and in no case
did he attempt to abrogate it.
When He healed the leper He most
strongly stressed the observance of
the law, for the leper, who came to
1 i ni for cleansing tlid so in a man
ner that broke the law to begin with
and when one had the leprosy he
was compelled to remove himself
from sociaty and to cry out when
nnvono was about to approach him,
"Unclean! Unclean!"
This he did not do, for with a
faith which removed mountains, he
rushed into the presence of the Mas
ter and throwing himself at his feet,
said, "If thou wilt, thou canst make
me clean." With that compassion
which alwa3Ts characterized the Mas- I
ter, lie reached forth his hand and
touching the loathsome creature but
ctill one who he had come to save,
said, "I will; he thou clean." The
leper immediately was cleansed.
This was the demonstration or Di
vinity and true humanity when with
the rotting of the flesh and the pu
trid sores making the leper the most
disgusting object, the Master by his
touch instilled into the man a faith
and a ienfidenre that he was to be
cleansed from his pestilence.
The flesh which had been rotting
from the bones and putrid came
again as the flesh of a little, clean,
pure and healthful with no taint of
disease and the former leper was
clenn-from all that had made him
diseased and miserable for so long.
Christ straightway instructed him
to go to the priest and show himself
as the law required and offer the
offering which the law of Moses re
quired for a testimony to them for
it -was from- the priests that the cer
tificate of health was to come which
was to restore him to his former
place in society.
There are people who do not re
spect certain laws and wink at their
non-enforcement, still are very zeal
ous of having others enforced. We
all want the murderer sentenced to
the utmost and a good strong pen
alty inposei on the horse thief, the
auto perloiner, the chicken pilferer,
the one who would set fire to jour
home or barn, the burgler and the
highwayman btt we wink at the In
fraction of the law by the man who
has a little on his hip for commer
cial purposes or in other word3 a
bootlegger. We consider it none of
our business when a libertine seeks
to ruin a household when he de
bauches a daughter or pollutes the
wife of another and say that is none
of my business, let the officers look
after that. Good government, the
preservation of society and the wel
fare of the public depends on the
fact that every citizen shall stand
behind the law and enforce the same
through their duly authorized offices
and that all shall work in conjunc
tion with them. -'iT-X$
We have in mind just now an in
stance which occurred not so far
from here. A certain business man
in a small town was peddling a little
booze and was visiting a joint where
the gang was trimming him. The
good (?) citizens said, "It is none
of my business as long as he does
not bother me." But when that man
Ii3d to go to the wall because the
gang trimmed him and left the good
citizens holding the bag, with him
owing them a lot of bills, they could
see that it was some of their busi
ness. The good of society, the sta
bility of the bank, the reliability of
the business house, the better influ
ence of the church, the safety of the
schools are more secure when the
laws are enforced. The measure of
a man is taken by what he does and
the way he does it for in the words
of John Clements, in his lines on a
skeleton:
"Say did these fingers deliver the
mine?
Or with the envied rubies shine;
To hew the oak or wear the gem.
Can nothing now avail to them.
Put if the page of truth they
sought,
And comfort to the mourner
brought,
Those hand3 a richer mead shall
claim,
.Than all that wait in wealth or
fame.
