Jesus and Nicodemus.
John 3:1-16.
Introduction to the lesson: We
have here the central truths of Chris
tianity, whic i we cannot consider too
thoroughly. Here are the fundamen
tal icahing3 regarding sin. punish
ment, regeneration, salvation, the
Holy Spirit, the incarnation, eternal
life ami eieriial death. A word about
Nicodemus. He was an honored mem
ber of the Sanbedrin. well advanced
in years, he took his religion serious,
he belonged to the strictest sect the
Pharisee-, akin to that of the Puri
tans, a man of means, a delegate
trcm the Pharisees, because he speaks
for others also: "we know." in the
plural, Jesus cleansing of the t'?mple.
the Baptists testimony, his owr. star-
tling iaim and by his ministry in
the city, they were perplexed, what
attitude they should adept towards
Him. so they dispatched -a delegate
to interview Hiiii, ar.;l as certain the
truth from His own lips, tney shun
ned publicity, aiul therefore it is not
cowardice or timidity that Nicodemus
fame "by night." And what was the
scene of the interview Our Lord
had no dwelling place In Jerusalem
and whenever he resorted thither.
He and Ilia disciples passed the night
in the open, latterly at all events
in the Garden of Gethseman'j. and
it may have been there that Nicode
mus sought Him. At any rate it was
the open that they conversed with the
-oft breeze fanning their faces and
rustling overhead through the trees.
Nicodemus asked no question, but
Jesus knew what he wished to aak.
He teems to say "if thou art the Mis
niah as some of us are inclined to
believe, tell us how we must enter
that Kingdom of God. which Thou
hast come to establish." Jesus comes
to his rescue: "Verily, verily, I say
unto three, except a man b born
again, he cannot see the Kingdom of
God." This Nicodemus cannot un
derstand. He, a devout' Jew, that
keeps the law scropulously, prides
himself that he needs no such
change. The moral life that soma
pecple live, is for many the cause
of their undoing, they cannot see,
that spiritual things must be spirit
ually discerned. When Jesus repeats.;
"Verily, verily," He shows how deep
in earnest He is in the matter. ( We
find this saying 11 times . In the
Bible.)
Nicodemus asked for a physical
explanation of this sublime fcruth

Peter Johnson southeast of Nehawka.
Mrs. Nelson is daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Johnson and all enjoyed the day
very nicely.
W. B. Banning of Union, former
partner of George E. Nickles and
also the democratic candidate for
nomination for state senator, was in
Murray on last Monday morning
looking after some business matters
for a short time.
Marsey Lancaster of Memphis, Mo.,
Mr. and Mrs. W. R. Casey of Fort
Madison. Iowa, and Mrs. Everett Lan
caster and son, Roy of Nehawka,
were guests for the day on Monday
of this week, at the home of Mr. and
Mrs. Earl Lancaster.
John Eppings of Murdock was a
visitor in Murray last Saturday, com
ing over to open up highway No. 1,
which he cleared up nicely. This
makes it a good highway with the ex
ception of it being some rough some
six or more miles west of Murray.
A young American, a son, arrived
on last Saturday night at the home
of Mr. and Mrs. Guy Dixon at their
home at Manley. There will be much
joy at the home as the young man
has come to stay. Rr. R. W. Tyson
was in attendance at the time of the
arrival of the young man.
C. M. Chrisweisser of Nehawka,
was a visitor in Murray on last Mon
day, securing materials for the con
struction of a foundation for a tower
of a wind mill which he is having
installed. The tower was procured
from near Fort Crook while the mill
proper was purchased from the Hob
son Well Co.. of Plattsmouth.
John Hobscheidt, Jr., or more prop
erly, the third, for his father is John
and also is his grandfather, butcher
ed one of his 4-H club hogs and re
membering his friend who has given
him- much encouragement in his pig
club operations, George E. Nickles,
he presented him with some very
choice bits of his first butchering.
Party for Bride to Be.
On last Friday at the Presbyterian
church in Murray, was held a most
delightful gathering when the Bible
school gave their member and very
Lesson Study!
By L. Neitzel
the Teacher said it was not a mechan
ical process but a spiritual work of
the Almighty. The power of God and
the faith of the individual were co
ordinated. This Inquiry meeting has
been instrumental to clarify this im
portant work of the new birth, and
helped many into the Kingdom.
Christ's was no theoretical teaching,
no secondhand witness. He came
from heaven, from the bosom of the
Father. He knew what He was talk
ing about. We can and must believe
His word, to be saved. The 13th
verse in the Neymuth's translation is
clear: "There is no one who has gone
up to heaven, but there is One who
has come down from heaven, namely,
the Son of man whose home is in
heaven." Here we hare Christ's own
words verifying the statements of
John 1:1-14.
Now Jesus makes a statement,
which Nicodemus knew and believed,
but that the brazen serpent which
Moses raised up in the wilderness,
symbolized Christ on the cross, this
Nicodemus did not know, but Jesus
explained the type or symbol. It is
often a very tedious task to enlighten
a mind filled with prejudice and fix
ed ideas. It takes much patience and
fine tact to convey to some men your
means, so that it may be comprehend
ed. The conclusion of the matter of
the new birth belongs into the spirit
ual realm, and is a matter of exper
ience. Further light is given to Ni
codemus in verse 16, "the greatest
sentence in the Bible," called also
"The little Gospel." by Luther. In
the Gift of Christ to the world the
heart of God lies open. Without
Christ ours is a perishing world; but
in Christ we have eternal life. Eter
nal life is that state of blissful com
munion with God, which is enjoyed
by tbe believer, who is reconciled to
God through faith in Christ. Eter
nal life begins here and now. The
possessor knows he is "passed from
death unto life." I John 3:14. Nico
demus has learned in the school of
Jesus more in one evening than in
all the years he had lived. We find
him protesting against pre-judging
Jesus, next he assisted Joseph of
Aremathea to take the body of Jesus
from the cross, and bring 100 pounds
of - embalming material, showing a
heart - av tis as. his bask account.

UAGIXOT IS HONORED
BY NATIONAL FUNERAL
Paris, Jan. 10. -Andre Maginot,
the "sergeant of Verdun," who serv

devised great defensive projects on
the -eastern frontier of France, was
honored In dtatb today by the high

Kaste is Shown
by Congress in
Bills on Relief
Beth Houses Bent on Speeding Coun
try Toward Better Times
Mcney to Land Banks.
Washington Legislation to speed
the nation toward better times took
long strides in two directions Tues
day. The house applied itself to the
foremost item of President Hoover's
economic rehabilitation program a
proposal that two trillion dollars of
new credit be provided for banks,
railroads and industry by the cre
ation of a reconstruction finance cor
poration. Its members expected to
vote on Thursday. The senate work
ed on the second of Mr. Hoover's pro
posals, a measure to increase the cap
italization cf the federal land banks
by 100 millions and thus provide the
farmer with new credit. It may vote
Wednesday.
Each measure already had the ap
proval of one branch , congress. The
senate passed the reconstruction cor
poration bill 63 to t, Monday night
and the land bank measure went thru
the house before Christmas. After
the votes now pending have been tak
en, both measures probably must go
to conference for adjustment of dif
fering provisions approved- by the
two chambers. Thus, sponsors of the
reconstruction corporation bill
thought it probable the measure
would not reach the president before
the first of next week.
Eoiiss Is in Favor.
The bill is virtually certain of pas
sage in the house with about the
same proportionate vote as in the
senate. The house is working on its
own bill introduced prior to receipt
of the senate measure. However, the
democrats on the house banking
committee made it clear in debate
they d.i net approve that type of leg
islation, but that they are supporting
it because of its emergency nature.
On tho other hand, the republicans
are attempting to eliminate several
changes made by the democratic con
trol committee. They want the bill
enacted as written by the treasury
and Governor Meyer ot the federal
reserve board.
Chairman Steagall inserted a pro
vision setting up a board of seven
members, two each to be appointed
by the president and Speaker Gar
ner with the explanation that this
was done to insure agriculture would
be protected by the Texan's ap
pointees. Republicans led by Representative
Dyer cf Missouri claimed that The
provision would make it necessary
for Mr. Hoover to veto the bill on the
ground that its appointive provisions
are unconstitutional. This was de
nied by Representative tSephenson.
South Carolina. As passed by the
senate the bill provides for a board of
seven, with four to be appointed by
the president, and the ethers to be
the secretaries of the treasury and
agriculture and the governor of the
reserve beard, th? x.ame as in the
Steagall bill. State Journal.
Szftith Says
Excess Not
Property Tax
Big Ccst of State Government Last
Year Eue to Federal Aid
for Roads
State Tax Commissioner Smith,
replying to statements from the state
auditor's records which shows the ex
pense of the state government undor
Bryan's first year exceed the total
for the last year of the Weaver ad
ministration by $ 2.(HK.0t0. explains
that the money spent was not prop
erty tax, but federal aid road fund;;,
and that the property tax under
Bryan was reduced.
"Statements To the effect th.it ex
penditures from property tax funds
during the first year of Governor
Bryan's present term were greater
than those of any other governor, are
absolutely without foundation," State
Tr.x Commissioner Smith says. "In
1931, the total taxes levied to meet
state expenditures, rs indicated by
the final returns made by the county
clerks to the tax commissioner's of
fice, were Ifi.3ft3.095.93. In 1929,
the first year of Governor Weaver's
administration, the taxes levied total
ed f 7, 879,328. GO. or $1,486,232.67
more than was levied in the first
year of (roveruor Bryan's adminis
tration, this being equivalent to ap
proximately 25 percent.
"A proportionate reduction in 1932
will be made also. The 1931 state tax
total is the lowest, with one excep
tion, since Governor Bryan's former
term of office in 1923 and 1924. and
every county in the state shares in
that reduction. The reduction was
made possible only after a five
months battle with the legislature.
"In addition to the regular fed
eral aid road funds available to the
state, there was also available for
use in 1931 approximately $3,500,
000 of federal funds with which to
build roads and aid in the relief cf
the unemployed. To be available,
this money had to he spent, by Sept.
1, 1931, and it was used under the
direction of the governor fcr the pur
pose for which it was intended. The
communities obtained the roads as
a result of the appropriation, and
men who would have otherwise been
unemployed, were given work.
"As before stated, this money
came from the federal government
and not from the taxpayers of Ne
braska, and had it not been used in
Nebraska, it would have been used for
road building in some other state.'
