BIBLE SLHUUL LLSSUN
Sunday, September 13
By M. S. Brigga
-I-I --I-l-I-I-I-M-I-I-I-I-I-H-I-
Golden Text: "Prove all things;
hold fast to that which is good."
1st Thess. 5:21.
Testing Christianity
When Paul and Silas, with Tim
othy, left Phillipi, they went south
west, passing a number of towns be
fore arriving at Amphipolis, some 30
miles away. There they rested and
then proceeded to Apalonia, which
was another 30 miles. Then they
went on for another 37 miles, mak
ing nearly one hundred miles, when
they arrived at Thessalonica, the cap
ital of Macedonia. This was a city
of considerable size and received its
name from Phillip of Macedon, for
on the day he was" victorious in his
battle against the troops at Thessaly,
he was apprised of the birth of a
daughter, whom he also named
"Thessalonica," which means "Thes
salian Victory." The city was de
stroyed and again rebuilt by Alex
ander the Great, Thessalonica's broth
er and son of Phillip of Macedon.
The city then was one of much
importance, and has in later years
been called the "Liverpool of Greece"
on account of its great commerce.
In the intervening years, the name
has been cut to Salonica or Saloniki,
and played a very important part in
the world war.
In making this trip the missionar
ies were favored with good roads
even better than the graveled roads
of our day. The road, not the King
of Trails, but .the "Egnalian Way,"
ran from the Hellispont thru Con
stantinople to Athens. In the Jew
ish synagogue they preached, and
after their works began to get re
sults, Paul said, "It behooved the
Christ to suffer and to rise again
from the dead and this Jesus, whom
I proclaim unto you, is the Christ."
Some were persuaded and joined
the missionaries, among whom were
a great multitude of devout Greeks,
and many of the chief women of the
land. This enraged the Jews, who
stirred up the people until they be
came a frensied mob that went to
the home of Jason and when they did
not find Paul and Siles there, arrested
Jason and others, taking them to the
court where, when charges had been
heard, they were put under bond and
released them. Feeling ran high in
Thessolonica, and the members of the
new church sent Paul and Silas out
of the city under cover of night, on
their way to Berea, now known as
Verria. At Berea they found a
more friendly people and preached
in the Jewish synagogue and estab
lished a strong church, the members
of which studied the Scriptures daily
to ascertain if the things which Paul
and Silas preached were true. This
is the thing that proved profitable,
and at this time we should study
the Scriptures for Jesus said, "In
them you think ye have eternal life
and they are them which testify of
me." Many at this place believed,
and when they had studied found that
Paul and Silas had proven what they
had preached by the Scriptures of
the Old Testament, which showed
that Jesus the Christ must come,
must suffer, must be crucified, must
arise from the dead and ascend to
heaven.
Paul said, as in 1 Thes. 15:1-10:
"Moreover, brethren, I declare unto
you the gospel which I preached unto
you, which you also have received,
and wherein ye stand, by which ye
are saved if ye keep in memory what
T preached unto you, unless you have
believed in vain. For I delivered unto
you first of all that which I also re
ceived, how Christ died for us ac
cording to the Scriptures; and that
he was buried and that he rose again
according to the Scriptures; And that
he was seen by Cephas (Peter, then
of the twelve. After that he was seen
by some 5 hundred brethren at once,
of whom the greater part, remain
unto this present time, but some are
fallen asleep. After that he was seen
by James, then of all the disciples.
And last of all he was seen by me
(Paul) also as one born out of due
time. For I am the last of the apos
tles, that am not meant to be called
an apostle, because I persecuted the
church of God."
The time when Paul was Saul of
Tarsus and he was doing all he
culd against the church, persecuting
the Christians even unto death be
fore his conversion, he could never
forget. Paul, like Jacob of old, sowed
to the wind and reaped to the whirl
wind. Jacob stole the birthright when
his brother Esau was an hungered,
trading him a pot of mush for it;
then he stole the blessing which was
for his elder brother Esau, and for
this he suffered many things. Joseph
was sold into Egypt. But God out of
this brought good for there were be
gotten in the 430 years of captivity
2,430.000 people who left Egypt at
the time of the Exodus, and after 40
years in the wilderness made a nation
under Mosus, with 2,760,000 people,
then large enough in numerical
strength to withstand the nations
surrounding them.
Continuing. Paul says in his let
ter to the church at Corinth, 1 Thes.
15:20-27: "But now is Christ risen
from the dead and beepme the first
fruits of them that slept. For sin
by man came death, by man came
also the resurrection from the dead.
For in Adam all die. even so in Christ j
shall all be made alive.
"But every man is his own order. J
Christ the first fruits; after that are
theirs at hia coming. Then cometh
the end when he shall have delivered,
up the Kingdom to God, even to the 1
Father; when he shall have put down
all rule and all authority and power.
For he must reign until he has put
all enemies under his feet. The last
enemy that shall be destroyed is
death. For he hath put all .things
under his feet. But when be saith
all things are put under him, it is

David, writing in the 91st Psalm
said of those who shall put their
trust in the Lord, "I will say of the
Lord. He is my refug and my fort
ress, my God, in him will I trust.
Surely he shall deliver thee from the
snare of the fowler and from the
noisome pestilence. He shall cover
thee with his feathers and under his
wings shalt thou trust. His truth
shall be thy shield and buckle. Thou
shalt not be afraid for the terror at
night or the arrow that flieth by day.
nor for the pestilence that walketh
in darkness, nor for the destruction
that wasteth at noon day." "He shall
call upon me and I will answer him.
I will be with him in trouble. I will
deliver him and honor him with long
life will I satisfy him and show him
my salvation."
ROBERT NIGKLES
PASSES EIGHTY
FIFTH MILESTONE
Old Time Besident of Murray Enjoys
the Occasica With His Bela
tives and Friends, Tuesday.
The passing of the eighty-fifth an
niversary of Robert R. Nickles, of
Murray, was made the occasion of a
very pleasant gathering of relatives
and friends on Tuesday at the Nickles
home that will long be very pleas
antly remembered by all of the party
who were present to participate in
the event.
The lifetime of Mr. Nickles has
covered more than the alloted years
of the average person and has been
eventful one that have enabled him
to witness the many advancing
strides of civilization and develop
ment of many of the wonders of the
19th and 20th centuries.
Mr. Nickles is a native of the
grand old state of Kentucky, he hav
ing been born on a farm twelve miles
from Springfield in that state on
September 8, 1840, the year of his
birth being marked by the historical
campaign of General William Henry
Harrison for the presidency, known
as the log cabin and hard cider cam
paign and in which this soldier
statesman then one of the residents
of the pioneer state of Ohio, was
elected as president.
When Mr. Nickles was but ten
years of age he was brought by his
parents west to the new state of Mis
souri, they locating near Marysville
where he spent his boyhood days and
early manhood, coming to Cass county
in the then territory of Nebraska in
1864, to make his home and which
has been his home since and that of
his family. After the arrival of the
young man in Nebraska he was mar
ried to Mary Rhea in the year 1865.
Mr. Nickles has followed farming as
his life work and his thrift and per
sonal labors has brought him success
as he is now the owner of some 240
acres of fine farming land southwest
of Murray. In recent years Mr. and
Mrs. Nickles have resided in Mur
ray where their daughter, Miss Ber
tha, has made her home with them
and surrounded by the relatives and
friends of years standing they have
enjoyed the pleasantness of life's twi
light. The children of this estimable
couple are Mrs. George S. Ray of
near Murray, Mrs. Lucy Crosser of
Wood River, Nebraska, Alfred Nick
les, residing in California and Miss
Bertha at home.
The anniversary was observed by
a fine fried chicken dinner, the rela
tives and friends bringing many
baskets of the good things along to
add to the enjoyment of the day.
Those who were in attendance were:
Robert Good and wife, Mrs. George
Ray, Glen Thompson and wife, Lee
Nickles,, Miss Etta Nickles, Perry
Nickles and wife, Robert Perry
Nickles, a great grandson, Alice
Nickles, a granddaughter, W. C. Ray
of Marysville, Mo., Tony Louck of
Los Angeles and Mr. and Mrs.
Nickles and Miss Bertha Nickles.

however, failed to keep a fairly good
crowd from thronging the grounds.

full of ppecial orders from meat mar
kets in Omaha, Lincoln, and several
outstate cities.

and girls' club work began competi
tion today at the extension building
for a chance to represent Nebraska
at the national fairs later in the
year. Agricultural college faculty
members judged the demonstrations
and decisions will be announced
soon.
The machinery exhibit continued
popular with a half dozen thresher
firms located across the road east of
agriculture hall.' where only a few
tractors stood last year.
The fine arts exhibits were pepu
lar today. They are the finest in
years in the opinion of the fair
board. Oil and water color paintings
are unusually abundant with espe
cially good work exhibited by Mth.
