Parables of Jesns. By L. Neitzel. THE UNJUST JUDGE Luck 18:1-8 Our Lord teaches His followers a remarkable lesson in this parable that of persistance in prayer. Xo follower of Christ can maintain his relation with Him one day. without prayer. Prayer is the breath of the Soul: it is communion with the Deity; the soul of man feeds upon prayer, it is its daily bread, because people pray so little, therefore so many lean Christians, so little of the Master's spirit shown in the lives of man. so much strife, backbitting. intolerance and wars. , I prayer. Does the Lord answer Yes! But only in His own way. God often tries man's faith, by riot ans wering at once. Elijah had to call seven times on God to send rain, when he prayed on MouTit Carniel. Paul called on God three different times to remove the thorn out of his flesh, God answered by giving Mm grace to bear it. Jesus had to call three times on His Father, and His prayer was answered by a minis tering angel, who strengthened Him. Peter nrayed. fell into a trance and God revealed lo him His will, in showing him that He is no respecter I of persons. In Acts 4:31 we read: "And when they had prayed, the place was shaken." In this parable Jesus says there was a widow, who had been robbed, by a rich neigh bor, taking advantage of the death of her husband, and stolen her land. There was a judge on the bench at that time that had no regard for 'God or man. (He must have been 1 a heathen judge, for the Jews re ' quired a sevenfold qualification, 'prudence, gentlenes. piety, hatred of mammon, love of truth, that they may be loved, and of good report). (This widow went again and again. to plead her case without getting to ! the judge. But her persistence at I last prevailed: it overcome the i judge's resistance, he says'! "Though I fear not God nor regard man. yet because this widow tioubledi me, 1 will avenge her, lest by her con tinual coming se weary me." Luk" 18:4-5. In this parable God is not so much compared to the unjust judge as courasted with him. The great compassionate heart of God pities His children. He may delay the answer, for reasons of His own. but He hears before they call I.sah lf.24i He will answer "Like as a lather pitieth his children, so the Lord pitieth them that fear him." Psaims 103:12. God does take care of his own. The question: Can a person "pray without ceasing?" should find an answer here. We do not hesitate to say yes. The follower of Christ should never be out of tnich with his Lord: never inoulue ; in anything where he could not ask Cod to bless what he is doing.. His disciples must keep the temple I j of the Holy Spirit clean, pure, unde filed. The prayerful attitude can only be maintained, if men will "do I all to the glory of God." The ' what soever" covers men's life in all his : phases. Since men lives in a world. ' where nothing is certain, it behoves him to be found at all time in such Ian attitude, that he can meet his Grd. "Therefore be ye also ready. : for in such an hour as ye think not, the Son of man cometh. Who then jis a faithful and wise servant, whom 'his Lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season? Blessed is that servant, whom his Lord, when he cometh. shall find so doing." Math. 24:44-46. There fore "watch and pray."

Popular Mur dock Young Lady is Wedded Miss Elsie Kupke. of Murdock. Mar ried Sunday Afternoon to Mar tin Bolsen of Omaha Wedding bells were ringing last Sunday afternoon, when Elsie, the only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Kupke. of Murdock, gave her hand and heart to Mr. Martin Bolsen of Omaha to keep and cherish. It was a gala occasion. Trinity Lutheran church pilar was banked iu flowers, the church was filled to capacity with friends and well wishers of the highly contracting parties. A chum of the bridegroom from Omaha presided at the organ. At the hour of four, broke forth the strains of Mendolsohn's wedding march, and the ushers and best men with the bridesmaids entered and took their stations, followed by the bride, leaning on the arm of her father, who gave her into the keep ing of the bridegroom. The Reverend G. A. Zoeh spoke to them, from First Chronicles 17: 27, words of advice, exhortation and admonition, if they will be follow ed, will assure them the blessings of Ciod. which are needed for a use ful and successful life. The text and isontr were selected ny the young peo ple themselves. The choir rendered a beautiful selection for their departing choir leader. Murdock is losing a very lovely, charming young lady, and Omaha is gaining a very substantial help for their choir and in their ; young peoples meeting. 1 lie young folks will make their home in Oma ha where Mr. Bolsen is employed In one of the largest banks. They will occupy their own home which Mr. Bolsen recently purchased. Our best wishes follow them.

By this time they had I gotten him into Mr. Coatman's cat ' which was standing in front of the (store and took him to Dr. O. E. Lis- ton's office where he was attended. It was found that no bones were bro ken, while the young man suffered some and his hack was badly braised, it was thought that bis condition was not serious Jind he was taken to his home, where he will likely be 'onfined to his bed for several days. Considering the distance of the fall, it is indeed maricalous that he was not more seriously injured at least that there were no bones broken. Elmwood Leader-Echo.

The fair board i seeking a 75 thousand-dollar appropriation from the legislature, and legislators have been quite critical iii their inquiries regarding the ability of the fair to pay for itself. "We must admit that these fig ures are very misleading," Jackson said in his report referring to the differences between attendance fig ures and gate receipts. "Over one third of our attendance was admit ted free." "This doesn't mean, however, that we are passing out free passes to friends and influential citizens." he said. The distribution ol tree passes was explained as follows. Five tickets to each of seven mem bers of the fair board. Two to each elective state officer and member of the legislature.

Indicts Al Capone as Rum Chief Set Bail at $50,000; 68 Others Ac cused With Him ; Charge Gang With 5,000 Offenses Chicago, June 12. Alphonse Ca pone and CS other defendants, many of them members of his liquor-vice-gambling syndicate, were indicted by a federal grand jury Friday for conspiracy to violate the national prohibition law. The indictments charge members of Capone's gang with 5,000 offenses. His bond was fixed at $50,000. The gang leader was indicted just a week ago for violating the income tax laws, the government charging he owed $215,080.48 on a six-year income of $1,08,654.84. He is al ready under six months' sentence for contempt of court. A continuous conspiracy from 1931 when the law went into ef fect until the present is alleged, the purpose being to "manufacture and transport beer for beverage pur poses to the Chicago area on a large scale." The unit of manufacture was al leged to be a 1.500 gallon vat or beer and the unit of transportation an' automobile truck load of 30 barrels of beer. Capone is charged with purchas ing trucks from the Btz Motor Co. in Hammond. Ind., which were used to transport beer and then receiving by telegraphic money order payments for the beer. A meetiug is also described in which Capone, Joseph C. Fusco. ("eorge Rowlett. Bert Delaney and Jack Heinan (all defendants! are alleged to have "discussed ways and means for the accomplishing of the objects of said unlawful and felon ious conspiracy." The government charges the meeting was held June 12. 1930. at the Lexington hotel, a Capone hangout, in Chicago. Fusco appears from the indictment to have been Capone's second on com mand in the syndicate. Others prom inent in the list of defendants are Michael Potson. who has been in terested in several Chicago cafes and roadhouses: Delaney a Capone lead er, who was recently arrested when he attempted to re-enter a large brewery that had been seized by pro hibition agents, and Nick Juffra. al so konwn as Rrank Ross, and Joseph D'Angelo. Nearly four years ago Capone. his brother. Ralph, and more than 100 others, were indicted in connection with an alleged syndicate operated in Cicero, Stickney and other sub urbs. Nearly two years later the indictment was dismissed without any of the defendants being tried. Bee-News.
