Then following this comes "The
Lord's Supper." The Savior teaches
I he is "the bread which came down
I from heaven, that if a person eat
thereof he would never hunger, for
he said, "Take, eat this bread; it rep

indeed my body and drink of this

At this supper Jesus says, "One of

a stone's throw and kneeling prayed,
"Father, if it be possible, let this cup
pass, but not as I will, but as thou
wilt." This he did three times and
at each time found the disciples sleep
ing. He asked Peter, "Could you not
watch with me one hour?" The su
preme trial of the Master was in
the garden, not on the cross, though
that would seem the limit of human
endurance. Jesus, the Christ was
both human and divine. The human-

strange streams,
Bridged over by our broken
dreams;

Beyond the great salt fount

The garden lies. Strive as
you may,
You cannot miss it all the
way.
All paths that have been, or
shall be,
Pass somewhere through Geth
semane. "All those who journey, soon
or late,
Must pass within the garden's
gate;
Must kneel alone in darkness
there.

despair.
God pity those who cannot
. say
'Not mine, but Thine; who
only pray
'Let this cup pass,' and can
not see
His purpose in Gethsemane.'
The soldiers came and led the Sav-
away to the city and the judgment
hall for trial. Here, he was buffeted,
beaten, spat upon and in many ways
humiliated and abused. The Jews
gave trial during the night and then
it was that Peter denied the Master
three times. During these hours many
things were happening. All the dis
ciples denied him., Judas came back
with the money and when the priests
would not accept It, threw it down
and went and hanged himself.
. Peter, when he realized what he
had done, went out and wept bitter

MARRYNG TO BE EASIER
HERE NOW AS NO PEDI
GREE WILL BE REQUIRED
JudtjelDuxbnry Will Use His Discre
tion in Issuing Licenses Until
New Law is Effective.
From Wednesday's DaUy
Tho chance to take a fling in the
matrimonial game is going to be a
little easier from now on in Cass
county for the few months that re
main until the old marriage license
law goes out in the repeal of the
192 3 law that has made Nebraska a
marriage desert.
County Judge A. H. Duxbury feels
that as the legislature has seen fit
to repeal the objectionable law that
he will use his discretion in the is
suing of the marriage licenses from
now on until the first of July when
the old law goes back into force and
the ten-day notice clause Is relegated
to tho thing of the past, along with
other freak legislation.
From now on the court will issue
the licenses to those who are resi
dents of the county and known to
have no reason that should not allow
them to marry, without the accus
tomed ten-day notice and posting of
the same as was formerly required.
Now is the golden opportunity for
those who are thinking of marrying
to come forward and secure their li
censes here and have the ceremony
performed in good old Cass county
instead of going to a foreign state
to secure their happiness. The coun
tv ludge as well as the large num
ber of ministers over the county have
been Idle a long time in the marry
ing line and all are now "rarin' to
go" when they have- a call.
"MA" FERGUSON IS STUBBORN
Austin, Tex., March 24. Gover
nor Miriam A. Ferguson - of Texas
today again denied the requisition of
Governor Fuller of Massachusetts for
the return to that state of Albert P.
Russell, charged with wife desertion.
Two requests have been made by
Ma:5sachusetts authorities for the re
turn of Russell. In her reply. Gov
ernor Ferguson said she would not
permit the "Lone Star state to be
come a haven of refuge to which
criminals might flee or allow its high
offioe to degrade to the order of a
collecting agency."
Governor Ferguson laid down
two propositions, first, that if a
crime was committed it was not com
mitted In the state of Massachusetts,
and, second, that the Indictment and
prosecution upon which extradition
is based "is not in good faith; there
fore, it falls within the exception to
the general rule as shown by a mul
titude of authorities."

drive, touching tho new state park
and the many points of interest in
the vicinity of Nebraska City.
The ladies who attended the con
vention were delighted with the
splendid work of Mrs. Gobelman who
planned and made possible the con
vention and also the efforts of Mrs.
Alma Schomaker Heech, president of
the Nebraska City unit also deserves
a world of praise for her splendid
work in arranging the details of the

VIOLATED LAW OF CHURCH
Newark, N. J., March 24. A new
issue in the law was raised here to
day with the filing in circuit court
for $50,000 damages against the
Castle Ice Cream company by Morris
Heyman, who declares the company
forced him, his wife, and silver wed
ding anniversary guests, to sin inad
vertently. Heyman's suit complains
that he ordered twelve bricks of ices
from the company to serve his guests,
and that instead ice cream was sent,
a mistake not discovered until all
had eaten the dessert.
Because they already had eaten
meat, this constituted a violation of
a canon of Hebrew law, which rules
that both meat and milk shall not be
eaten at the same table.
SCOBNED WIFE SHOOTS
Chicago, March 23. Ralph Ger
rard, thirty-four, refused to danco
with his wife, whereupon she shot
him, according to the story Mrs. G r
rard told police. Mrs. Gerrard is in
jail pending outcome of her hus
band's injuries.
"It was our tenth wedding anni
versary," Mrs. Gerrard explained to
police. "We had a party and Ralph
wouldn't dance with me. I became
angry and pointed a revolver at him.
It went off accidentally."
