mother and sister sought assistance

They Had Better Ee Careful.

they hijacked some home made wine,
and were somewhat hilarious from
the result. The people are getting
tired of these pranks, and are ready
to give them a warm reception.

22 years, 9 months, and S days.
Leland received his education in
the schools of Lincoln starting to
school at Whittier. He attended the
grade school, high school, and uni
versity. He became a member of the
East Lincoln Christian church about

Mr. Wood was an unusual student
and musician. He began his musical
career at the age of 7, studying with,in compliance with

Leland was the son of Mr. and

The Overburdened Judge
Living for forty years without the
haunts f man, Moses obtained a
different perspective, that was work
able with a large number of people.
It was God's plan that the people
should assist, and in fact do the
things which was to do things to
promote their temporary and eter
nal welfare.
When God said. "Let us make man
after our own image," and when he
did create man in his own image, it
was possible for man to reflect the
will of the Father. God made man j
but a little lower than the Angles,
and endowed him with judgment
and a sense of justice and right, j
Moses being cloistered with God. and j
knowing that he had been called to
make of the two and a half millions
nf slaves a new nation, realized that
ihe had a tremendous amount of work!
on his hands. He saw in this the
administration of justice between ;
the very remostest tribe, and in em- j
buing all with a knowledge of God's
word. It had not occurred to him; -
that some one could assist in the Put jnt0 actual practice the things

slightly different ideas than were Te -

he meekly died in sight of that in
heritance which though ccnien to
him became the possession and was
enjoyed by his ungrateful brctheran.
But few of us will take the inter
ference of the Father-in-law or the
Mother-in-law. with any degree of
eauiminitv. Well do we remember
when in school, someone wrote on
the flyleaf of one of our text books,
"He that cheerfully takes edvice may
be greater than he who gives it."
We took Umbrage, at the act as well
as the advice, and to the truth which
was embodied in it. Years of ex
perience in the affairs of the world
have convinced us that the declara
tion was indeed true in every re
spect. When Jethro came to this
grand old man for-he was indeed
eighty-one years of age, he received
the good advice of his Father-in-law
with good grace and adapted it to his
situation with the best results.
As Moses was occupied from morn
ing to evening with the small affairs
of the people to the more import
ant ones, the fact was noticed by
Jethro who thought and then went
to bis son-in-law, Moses with a solu
tion for the problem which was con
fronting not alone him but the wel
fare of the whole people. In the corn-
man language of the day. we would
hear .Tthrn Ravine. "Moses vou are
wasting your time which is so valu-
able and badly needed, with the trl-
val-things which others can do. You
are trying, I know, to instruct the
people in the law of Jehovah, but
you are giving them alone just in

practice what you are teaching them.
