VI JERUSALEM (C)
The last week of the life of Jesu:;
gives us a deeper look into his inner
life, than any other time of all his
labors seen before. We come to his
last entry into the city of Jerusalem.
He makes a last effort to present him
self to his people as their King, and
Reedemer. Behold his royal entry, as
a King rideth in his might. The
multitudes shouting "Hosannah!"
the whole city is stirred; a ques
tion is on every lip: "Who is this?"
for an answer read Ps. 24. Is he
accepted by his people? It would
seem so, for even tne I'nansees saui
among themselves: "Behold, the
whole world is gone after him." The
next five days are full of labor, teach
ing and exorting. Thirty-nine events
are recorded in this short space of
time, each one deserves special treat
ise, but we will follow Jesus in his
last journey out of Jerusalem to
the cross.
On Thursday night he is arrested,
led bound to the high priest, then
before Pilate's court, to King Herod,
back again to Pilate, receives his sen
tence of crucifixion, is scourged,
mocked, crowned with thorns, finally
led out of the city to be crucified.
His own had rejected him. Jeru
salem had lost her last chance to be
saved. "His blood be upon us and
our children," the rabel cried, this
curse came in due time. 40 years later
in the destruction of the city, ft was
literally fulfilled.
But there is another side to this
story: Jerusalem is used as a type
of the church triumphant. A won
derful description of the new Jeru
isalem is eiven in Rev. 21: 10-27. The
'apostle John was carried in the spirit
j to a great and high mountain and
was shown a great city, the holy Jeru-
salem, descending out of heaven from
God, having the glory of God, ani
her light was like Jasper Stone clear
as crystal, with a great and higi
wall and twelve gates, which shall be
cpen all day for there is no night
there. And the nations of these which
are saved, shall walk in the light cf
it. Perfect safety to all God's chil
dren is promised for there shall in
no wise enter into it anything that
defileth, neither whatsoever worked
abomination, or maketh a lie,, but
they which are written in Lames
book of life. Enjoyment is also pro
vided, music and 3ong by a choir cf
144.000, Rev. 14: 2-3. Refreshments
will be plenty, pure water of life,
fresh from the throne of God, and
trees that bear fruit every month,
just like Adam and Eve had in Eden.
Rev. 22: 1-2.
John in his Epistles reveals a re
markable philosophy. He says: B
loved now are we the sons of God."
John 3:2. "He that overcometh shall
inherit all things." Rev. 2:7. Peace
that passeth understanding, joy th.t
fadeth not away; a crown of right
eousness at that day, when we enter
into New Jerusalem. "O think of
the home over there."

Will Hold Achievement Day.
The two "4-H clubs" of Murdock,
will have their achievement day on
Saturday, Sept. 13th, at the school
house gym at 2:30. Everyone is wel
come. Saturday School.
On next Saturday morning, Sept.
13, at 9 o'clock, we will again open
our Saturday religious school at the
Trinity Lutheran school house, two
miles north of Murdock. Nothing but
religion is taught in this school. All
the children of the congregation ave
expected to attend this school. Oth
ers, not connected with our church,
may also send their children, if they
so desire. Just as much time and at
tention will be given them, as our
own "children. We would, indeed, be
very glad to have your children. No
tuition is required. "Train a child in
the way he should go; and when lie
is old, he will not depart from it,"
Prov. 22 :C.
This school meets on every Satur
day morning from Sept.-Junc, begin
ning at 9 o'clock and closing at

Robbers Escape
Pursuers After
Holding Up Bank
Assistant Cachier and Patron of Hen
derson, la., Locked in Base
ment by Trio.
Three unmasked bandits held up
the Farmers National bank at Hen
derson, la., about 30 miles southeast
of Omaha, at 3:15 p. m. Friday, es
caping with about a thousand dollars
in silver and currency. The assist
ant cashier and a customer were lock
ed in the basement of the bank build
ing. The speeding bandit car. estimated
to be traveling at about 70 miles an
hour, was traced eastward to Emer
son and then through Red Oak, but
east of the latter place further trace
was lost.
John Rainbow, assistant cashier of
the bank for the last three years, and
Marion Wise, farmer near Henderson,
were in the bank when the three
holdup men entered. They were or
dered to face the wall. Then Rain
bow was ordered to open the safe and
vault.
Tear Out Window.
"They tried to lock us in the vault.
but could not," Rainbow said. "Then
they put us in the basement. We
were able to tear out a basement
window sash, and give the alarm, not
more than five minutes after they im
prisoned us."
About six hundred dollars of the
loot was in currency and the rest
in silver, according to the cashier.
An exact check had not been com
pleted early Friday night. Officers
were told that not more than $1,100
or $1,200 is usually carried in the
bank.
First Time Held Up.
A. F. Paul is president of the bank,
capitalized at 25 thousand dollars.
The bank had never been held up be
fore. It was also Rainbow's first rob
bery experience.
All three of the robbers wore white
shirts and straw hats, officers were
told. Rainbow said that one was
short, about 26 or 27 years old, and
weighed about 14 0 pounds. This one
was shaking, and apparently was in
experienced in robbery. Rainbow be
lieves. A second was about 5 feet
9, and weighed about 175 pounds.
No description of the third bandit
could be given, except that he was
the largest of the three.
The bandit car was seen at the
edge of Red Oak by Walter Clites,
Emerson garage man, who was at
tracted, he Eaid, because of its high
speed, lie told pursuing officers, who
were about 10 minutes behind.
Rainbow went to the Henderson
bank about three 5'ears ago from
Council Bluffs.
Cashier cn Vacation.
The robbery occurred during the
first day of vacation of Charies
Amick, cashier.
Rainbow said that had the rob
bery occurred on any other day, the
loot might have been larger. Heavy
demand for casliing of checks of read
crews had occurred recently, and a
request for more money had been
made, the additional cash being ex
pected Saturday.
Wise and Rainbow were at one
of the bank windows when the first
bandit entered. Roughly shoving
Wise to one side and showing his
gun, the robber demanded of Rain
bow "Stick 'em up or I'll put a hole
in you." At this instant another ban
dit entered, taking Wise to a back
room.
Tossed Gun Away.
The third man, heaviest of the
three, then came behind the railing,
found Rainbow's gun and threw it
contemptuously on the floor, cleared
out the currency and silver, and forc
ed Rainbow to open safe and vault.
Once Rainbow looked at the heavy
bandit. "Quit looking at me," he
said, covering his face with his hand,
"Turn around or I'll drill you."
When the vault door failed to lock
this third man stepped behind the
door and out of tight as the victims
walked past to the basement door.
The men were put into the cellar
through a trap door which could be
fastened above.
The bandits were seen to enter
their car by Mrs. Albert Pace, but
she did not get the number. After
escaping from the basement, Wise
and Rainbow ran to a filling sta
tion nearby and gave the alarm.

Clearing House
Planned by Live
Stock Dealers
Orderly Marketing Process Is Con
sidered a Good Solution
for Problems
Chicago Although backed by $6,
250.000 of farm board funds, the
newly organized cooperative, the Na
tional Live Stock Marketing Associa
tion, has devised a simple but
practical method of aiding live stock
men.
The producers, faced with a con
siderable surplus of lambs over last
year and a reduction in price of over
50 per cent, are in need of organized
marketing, according to Charles A.
Ewing, president of the big live stock
cooperative.
The simple solution of having the
association act as a clearing house
has been hit upon. Into the offices of
the organization in Chicago will flow
lists of producers, the number of
lambs they have to dispose of, and
the price they will be willing to ac
cept. At the same time other lists of
feeders who will take advantage of
bargain prices will be received in re
sponse to the association's activities
through the radio, newspaper pub
licity, correspondence and other
channels.
The clearing house, which virtual
ly amounts to a pool system, will be
greatly facilitated through the com
pletion of organization of the Inter
mountain Live Stock Marketing Asso
ciation. This new cooperative group,
covering the central range territory,
will be a unit of the National Live
Stock Marketing Association.

A SERIOUS OFFENSE
Postmaster J. W. Holmes has re
ceived complaint that the mail box or
receptical used for the mail, belong
ing to one of the patrons in the
south part of the city had been torn
down by someone, the box being put
up Thursday and was found torn
down Friday morning. It may be
stated that the destroying or tamper
ing with the rereptical for U. S.
mail is a very serious offense and is
punishable by a fine of $1,000 or an
imprisonment in the federal prison
for three years. The person that has
been interfering with the mail boxes
would do well to stop it, as they
will be in difficulty with the federal
government.
