BIBLE SCHOOL LESSON
Sunday, October 18th
By M. S. Brlcpa
f
H-I-I-I-I-
Golden Text: "Now abideth faith,
hope, love, these three, and the great
est of these is love." I Cor. 13:13.
The Greatest Thing in the World
As men count, there are many
great things in this world, but as
Paul says, the greatest of these is
love. The golden text of the Bible
contains a great truth when it says,
God so loved the world that he gave
his only begotten son that whosoever
believeth on Him might not perish,
but have everlasting life." (John
3:16.1
1 We cannot measure love only ap
j proximately. Then we have to range
it up along something that we may
get a slight conception of its volume.
Love and eternal life are of such im
portance that earthly things cannot
be compared with either.
Time and space have some of the
attributes of love. When one steps
out on a real starry night he gets a
slight conception of how small and
insignificant he really is himself.
In 1852, three years after the dis
covery of gold in California, a party
of gold seekers started from Salem,
Iowa, to the gold fields of California.
They had an ox team. They crossed
the Missouri river near Missouri Val
ley and came to the present site of
Blair, in the then Nebraska territory.
on their way to the land of gold be
yond the setting sun. There they
camped for the night, and bright
and early the following morning, a
portion went forward while another
portion stayed to make some repairs
on their outfit. Throughout the en
tire day the caravan that went on
wound in and out, over hill and val
ley, crossing creeks and rivulets and
just as the sun was going down, the
white tops of their covered wagons
could be seen up the valley of the
Platte, near where the town of al
ley now stands.
A whole day and not out of sight.
though traveling all the time.
But that was 73 years ago.
Not many years thereafter came
the pony express which made over a
hundred miles in the time which the
prairie schooner had consumed in
traveling this short distance.
Then came the railroad which now
takes only four days to cover the
same distance which the prairie
schooner required six weeks to get
over.
But when we compare the train
with the telegraph it is rather negli
gible, for in but a few seconds can
electricity encircle the globe. And
yet that is slow, for a ray of light
travels at a rate which would circle
the globe seven times within a sec
ond. Now we reverse the view.
It takes a little over eight minutes
for light to travel from the sun to
the earth. The nearest fixed star is
Capello. It is far enough away from
us to require light, traveling at the
rate of 186,000 miles a second to con
sume three and a half years in get
ting here. "Some distance," you say.
Now, just hold your breath. Many
of the dimmer stars in the "Milky
Way" require six million years for the
light to come.
This is only one-half the unit of
measurement of the heavens and Da
vid has said in the nineteenth Psalm
"The heavens declare the glory of
God." Now let us get the signifi
cance of this. Take these tangible
things we can form no conception of
either time or space. We may try
to form in our mind the location of
the end of space but what is on the
Mother side. We get no adequate con
ception of the vastness of the uni
verse. Still it is not greater than
what John in his 3:16 "God so loved
the world that he gave His only be
gotten Son that whosoever believeth
on Him should not perish, but have
everlasting life."
Then could Paul well say as he
did, "The greatest of these is love."
He 6aid love is better than to speak
with tongues, better than to know
all mysteries; better than to have
faith that will remove mountains.
Here comes the kernel in the nut.
One may do all the things a Christian
does and still not be a Christian for
the Christian is made by the purpose
for which he does these things. If
love be the actuating purpose then
the Christian spirit is entertained.
That love never faileth, for Faul
said. "All other things shall fail even
the earth shall be destroyed and the
heavens shall roll up like a scroll in
that last, but love like everlasting
life endureth forever." Love, saith
Paul, suffereth loving and is kind, the
one loved may not even be appreciat
ive of the love bestowed still the love
continues. Who' can count the
strength of the mother's love, still it
remaineth through the years.
The attraction of cohesion and ad
hesion are strung like iron or steel,
still when subjected to intense heat
the iron will run like water, all the
cohesive forces are gone. These pow
ers are confined between a very lim
ited range of temperature, still the
love of God i6 only purified by the
adverse things for it shines brighter
when --tried by adversity. Love en
vieth or vaunteth not itself, is not
puffed up, does not behave unseemly,
is not easily provoked, taketh no ac
count of evil, but rejoiceth in the
truth, beareth all things, believeth
all things, hopeth all things, endur
eth all things. Love, which is true
never faileth. People shall fail, the
speaking with tongues shall cease.

knowledge shall be done away. Now
we know but little only in part, but
there conieth a day when love shall
have her perfect work, we shall know
fully as we are known. For now

greatest of these is love. Then we
shall know the truth and the truth

CAE0L LOUISE MURRAY
Carol Louise Murray was born on
December 24th. 191 S. and passed to
the world bevond October the 11th,
1925. aged ix years, nine months
and 17 days. She was called home by
a loving Saviour after an illness of
but a few days.
To mourn her departure she loaves
her grief stricken parents. Mr. and
Mrs. C. C. Murray and one sister.
Clarice Jane, aged S years.
Besides the dear on;-s of her fam
ily she leaves her aunts, uncles and
counsins and many playmates whose
hearts today are benumbed with pain
at her going.
One sister, of the deceased pro
ceeded her in death April 11. 1S)1S.
As the baby of the family she has
been the sunshine of the home. Her
happy, lovable disposition won the
hearts of all who knew her. Sad in
deed is the home from which she has
gone and their consolation consists in
knowing that what is their loss has
been Heaven's gain.
Carol Louise Murray was an at
tendant at the Sunday school at the
Murray Christian church and was in
her second year at the public school.
"In the midst of .life we are in
death" has again be-n.wiih force im
pressed upon us. As a bud that was
just ready to open it a full beauty to
the world around it she was strick
en. As a lamb astray from the flotk
she has been sought out by the Sav
iour and carried home in his bosom.
in His presence she has been crown
ed amorc those redvemed by the sac
rificial blood of the Saviour. For
such did Jesus come into the world
and offer himself as a ransom for
them from the curse of sin. Of such
he said "Suffer little children to
come unto mo and forbid them not,
for of such is the kingdom of hea
ven." Todav in the sorrow and dark
ness that envelopes us this ray of
sunshine filters thiv;ih and brings
to our hearts peace. For we know
that "she is not dead but sleepeth."
Services over the remains were con
ducted at Oak Hill cemetery by Rev.
Walter R. Robb. pastor of the First
Christian chur of this city. Services
were brief but consolation was
brought to the minds of the bereaved
as the officiating minister assured
them that it was for such that Jesus
came into the world as a ransom.
In St. John 2. 25.2$, he found the
basis for their trust- and faith. Je
sus here says. "I am the ressurection
and the life: he that believeth in me,
though he were dead, yet shall he
live.
"And whosoever liveth and be
lieveth in me shall never die. Be
lieveth thou this?"
Owing to the nature of the com
plaint from which the child passed
away, diptheria. the services were
confined to the immediate family.

Douglas Fairbanks when he was

roof of a pirate ship's cabin during
the filming of an exciting scene and
the resultant strain caused one of his

It is given out by the board of
control of state institutions that con-
struction will begin soon after July 1 j
on a new steam power plant for the
state penitentiary, but outside of the
walls. The late riot, will hasten the
building program, which also includ-j
es a home for the warden.
The citizens of Gordon voiced
their disapproval at a special elec
tion of the plan to sell the munici
pal lighting plant to an Iowa com
pany on the theory that the price
offered wa3 only half enough.
Seattle's municipal street car sys
tem is losing patronage and is hav
ing a struggle to pay operating costs.
The city is trying to purchase the
competing privately owned line.
Farmers between Kennard and
Herman and west of Blair are con
tracting for electric service from the
company operating the transmission
line that serves the two villages.
Electric manufacturers from Switz
erland are in the United States to at
tempt to sell equipment looking to
ward the electrification of some of the
large railroad systems in this coun
try. Road making cost one Nebraska
electric company $9,000 in one month
for moving pole lines and for which
no damages were sought to be col
lected. The Central Power company plans
to spend $300,000 in betterments and
extensions on its system centering
at Grand Island and Kearney.
The Lincoln Electrical league will
ask the city commission to pass an
ordinance that will provide for the
examination and licensing of elec
tricians. The voltage of the electric line
from Gurley to Dalton is being in
creased from C,C00 to to 22.000,
which necessitates much rebuilding.
A new sugar beet factory is being
planned for the south side of the
river in the Scottsbluff valley.
The water system will be installed
at Ashton if the citizens approve a
contemplated bond issue.
The electric company at Blue Hill
is rebuilding its local lines.
ASK WHY KE FIGHTS
RAILROADS IN STATE
Insist That Attorney General Has Re
peatedly Admitted Low Valua
tion of Nebraska Farms.
The ruling of the attorney gen
eral that he is without power to
agree to the proposal of the rail
road attorneys that he avoid piling
up costs in the tax cases by stipu
lating that the state board has been
valuing farm lands at 75 per cent.
sharply criticized by the road's le
gal representatives.
They say that at least nine times
in the federal courts in as many
suits with the railroads, the attor
ney general has admitted in writ
ten answers that ever since the or
ganization of the state property gen
erally has been undervalued for as
sessment purposes, and that in the;
1921 cases 75 per cent was given
as the ratio. The critics say that
is too high, but that is no higher
than they asked the state to stipulate
before entering upon the trials start
ed Tuesday.
it is pointed out that the state
boaid and the attorney general both
hae admitted in these cases that in
?j20 property generally was equal
ised by the board at 6S per cent of
the true value, and the supreme
court in the Rock Island case found
that for 1923 the ratio did not ex
ceed CS per cent. In the face of
these findings. of unlawful discrimin
ation against the railroads, they add
and not withstanding that the legis
lature, in passing the intangible tax
law recognized that the ratio did not
exceed 70 per cent, the attorney gen
eral is unconvinced.
The railroad representatives think
that the state officials are fearful of
what would happen to them political-
lv if they reduced railroad valua
tions. One of them submitted this
comment :
"The truth of the matter is that
neither the attorney general's of
fice nor the state board have the
courage to do right in the matter.
Thev, apparently, believe it is good
politics for them to continue todis-
criminate against the railroads in
the matter of taxes. But the people
will surely tire of the prodigal ex
penditure of money b the attorney
general's office in this fruitless liti
gation pretty soon. In all of it the
state has not won a single point in
any court. They have simply spent
the people's money in playing politics
on a subject which should be treated
as a business proposition.

DAVIS TO SUCCEED
WEEKS AS SECRE
TARY OF WAR DEPT.
Latter Has Been Assistant Secretary
and is the Youngest Member
Of the Cabinet.
Washington, Oct. 13. Dwight F.
Davis of Missouri today was appoint
ed secretary of war.
He takes the place of John W.
Weeks of Massachusetts, whose re
tirement because of ill health was
formally announced at the White
House. The change is effective im
mediately. As assistant secretary, Mr. Davis
has been actual head of the war de
partment since last spring, when Mr.
Weeks was sent to New England by
his physicians for an operation and
a long vacation.
In his letter of resignation Mr.
Weeks said it become apparent that
he must greatly prolong this vaca
tion if he is to completely regain his
health. President Coolidge replied
that he acceded with great regret to
the secretary's insistent request.
The new secretary, a lawyer and
business man, is in his forty-seventh
year and wil be the youngest mem
ber of the cabinet. He has served in
the National Guard and reserve corps,
has been an active official of various
financial, educational, charitable and
recreational organizations, and is the
donor of the Davis cup. the most cele
brated of tennis trophies.
The change gives the president two
cabinet officers of the same name, the
secretary of labor being James J. Da
vis. The new war secretary had combat
experience in the World war, He
was a captain in the Fifth Missouri
infantry in 1917, and served with the
Thirty-fifth division in the Argonne
and St. Mihiel offensives as a lieuten
ant colonel. He was awarded the
distinguished service medal and was
twice mentioned in orders for gal
lantry. He first entered politics in his na
tive city, St. Louis, in 1907, when he
was elected to old St. Louis house of
