f BIBLE SCHOOL LESSON
s Sunday, February 19
t
By M. & Brlggs
Golden Text: "Who then is this,
that even the winds and the sea obey
him?" Mark 4:41.
Proves Himself the Master
Christ had been teach' ntj by the
sea side and had given some lessons
in agriculture, and had expounded
how the grain grew, and how it fail
ed to produce a harvest, and drew a
very excellent lesson from the story.
He also taught how adversary had
sown weed seeds in the ground and
thus impaired the crop of wheat. Also
the parable of the mustard seed and
how from this small beginning, grew
the great herb, because it had the
life and the faith to look to the Fath
er, and was always growing towards
the sun. When he had taught all
day and performed many healings
and the evening was come and like
other men. he being tired from his
long clay's work, the disciples being
there, lie said unto them, "Let us go
over to the other side of the sea."
And so the disciples, who had their
boats, took him in one of them and
started for the other side. The Mas
ter, who had been very busy and at
hard work, was tired and sleepy, and
as he entered the boat, he reclined on
a cushion in the rear of the boat.
and the disciples, hearty, strong men
fo
they had been fishermen most of
their lives, took up the oars and
started for th opposite side of the
Sea of Gallilee, and had gotten well
out from the land, when all of a
sudden one of thoie storms came up.
which are characteristic for their
suddenness and violence, and the
boat was tossed about and was fill
ing with water. The disciples, know
ing pi the weary condition of the
Master, were wor.t to allow him to
rest and even allowed him to. con
tinue to sleep until the storm hit in
all its fury, and they thinking that
there was a chance of them all being
drowned, hastened to awake the Mat
ter and said to him. "Carest thou not
that we perish?" and from this the
poet has converted into that beauti
ful son?:
taresi I iiou i:ui iiiai we i
perish : 1
How canst Thou lie
asleep
When each moment so mad-
ly is threatening
A grave in the angry
deep?"
As Christ awoke and seeing the
;torr.i in its fr.ry and the waves
A-ahiiig over the side of the hoat.j
He arose and rebuked the waves and
-said unto the sea. "Peace, be still." j
At his voire and command, the rag-;
ng of the sea was immediately stop
ped the sea was again calm and!
beautiful. Then he said unto the.
bol l fishermen, who had experienced j
manv a severe storm and should have'
l.-now-Ti kiiup tliev ba-1 been with him
- -
'hat he would not allow them to per -
ah, for had he not taught tnem
in many of his teachings. Then a
.-. hiie tl.oy might have thought
have said
"Masior, the tcmpist is
iv ging.
The billows are tossing
high :
Earth s sky is o'er shadowed
with blackness.
No shelter or help is
nigh."
Still Jesus had a lesson to teach
them that their faith might be given
rrength, when he said, "Peace be
still." and also said unto them. "Why
are ye so fearful? How is it that
you have no faith?"
They were surprised and commun
ed among themselves, saying. "What
manner of man is this that even the
winels and the sea obey him?" Then
came to them that wonderful cheer
ing refrain, and gave assurance to
them in their trouble and their fear,
as follows:
"No waters shall swallow
the ship where lies
The Master ot ocean and
eari h and skies:
They all shall sweetly obey
thy will!
Peace. Peace, be still."
The assurance which came to them
in the end. lor an was men peace
and caim, was well worth the fear
which they experienced before their
fith was strengthened, and the ar
rival at the destination, the other
side of tbe sea.
People Fear end Wonder
When the little party caim to the
shore in the country of the Cadder
ness they embarked and found there
a crowd of men with a maniac- whom
they had bound many times and
found nothing that could hold him,
se they tobi Jesus about him anel how
he was running wild in the fastnesses
of the wilderness and mountains and
cutting himself on tbe sharp stones.
The Master asked that he be brought
to him. and while he was being
brought in, the evil spirits which
held the man a slave and compelled
him to commit many evil acts cried
out unto Christ, "We know who thou
art: why have you come to torment
us before our lime," and asking that
he allow them to remain and not
drive them from that country.
A Wonderful Manifestation
Then commanded Christ the devils
(for there were legions of themj to
come out of the man, and allowed
them to enter a herd of swine which
were pasturing and eating such as
the place provided, and when they
had entered into the hogs, the ani
mals ran down the steep hill and
were drowned in the sea.
Then went the people who were
near and witnessed this manifesta
tion of the powers of Christ, into the
city, where they told everyone they
met, who came out and found the
man sitting and la his right mind,
and also were told about the Fwine
running into the sea. Great fear
came on those present and they asked

the Master to depart and leave there
for they were much afraid.
Then did Jesus and the disciples
depart from that piace and the man
who was so miraculously heab'd beg
ged to be allowed to accompany the
Master, but he suffered him not, tell
ing him to go back home and to his
own town and tell what wonderful
things the Lord had done for him.

Demand for
Nebraska Farms

j Burlington Finds That Desire for
Western Farming Lands
on the Increase.
With Nebraska's crop records Tor
1927 heralding one of the best crops
in the history of the state, it is not
surprising that there is an increased
demand for farms,' with farms for
rent scarcer than they have ever
been.
On account of the large number of
ir.cmiries received for land. Yal Kus-

to secure listing of vacant farms.

"We have 20 renters for every

of the Farmers State bank at Eloom

has been greater than the supply for
