Bible School tfgiSunday, February 7th "The Slavery of Sin" ! Math. 24:45-51; John 8:31-36. The first part of our lesson deals with stewardship. It applies in the first place to the ministry. In Acts 6:4. we read: "But we will give our selves continuously to prayer and to the ministry cf the word. And in I Cor.. 4:1. we have this word: "Let a man so aeocunt of us. as of the nini;-xers cf Christ, and Stewarts of the mysteries of God." They are to teed the flock and show good fidelity to truth, duty and master's interest. Such servants (ministers) will be pre - --:".. In the second place it applies to every man. . God expects c very cne to keep his body free lrom the enslavement of alcohol and nar cotics, that is a g-ood stewartship. The be.--t use of one's life and energies de mands freedom from every binding habit. But one that disregards the admcniticn of God will suffer the consequences, receive the reward of the unfaithful Stewart, consign him' to that place of final punishment. Gcd deals justly with every man. The end of a bootlegger is usually pre mature: his lot is cast with the "ganpster" and ends as such. No man will esoape God. He comes unexpectedly and we must give an account of what we do, and for what we fail to do. The drunkard and un faithful stewart will go to the place for which they fitted themselves; de ceivers and outcasts will be their companions. The second part of our lesson deals with freedom from sin through Christ. After Christ's discourse on the Bread of Life, which we studied last Meek, occured a number of im portant events in our Lord's life which John emitted, because they were narrated by Matthew, Mark and Luke. These were the Journey to ward Sidon with the healing of the daughter of the Syrophoenician woman, the feeding of the four thou sand, restoring sight to the blind man at Bethsaida, Peter's confession of faith, the transfiguration, healing the demoniac boy, and several dis courses. Now we find Jesus at the feast of tabernacles in Jerusalem, where he delivered several discourses which John has recorded. One of these on the Water of Life, which we are omitting. Our lesson chapter discusses the great topics of truth, light and lib erty. The preceding verse tells us that "As He spake these words, many believed on Him." (Vv. 24-2 S). The revised version, "believed Him." They had believed His statement that He was the Messiah, but they had not - lb. bag . .$ family doctor, J. F. Brendel, having to use crutches to get about with but is showing improvement with each day. Carl and George Parks were over ic the home of C. M. Reed west of Murray cn last Monday, assisting In the dressing of a number of porkers for the summer use. On last Monday the ladies of the Christian church tacked a comfort for Mrs. Wm. Sporer and on Tuesday they put in a quilt for the same lady which they are hurrying to comple tion. James Earhardt is keeping busy and warm by cutting Cottonwood trees and converting it into firewood, which in his personal case will warm this gentleman two times, once when he cuts it and again when he burns the wood. With the returning of Miss Leora Farris to the home of her parents, the position which she has been oc cupying is being filled by Mrs. Rob ert Burr who has been staying for some time at the home of Mr. and Mrs. C. M. Read. Mr. and Mrs. Earl Lancaster en tertained on last Sunday and had as their guests for the occasion the fam ily of John Eppings of Murdock, Lesson Study! By L. Beitzel believed "on" Him with religious faith as the light and life of men. "They believed Him" meant merely a recognition of the truth of His statements and the justice of His reasoning. Their minds assented, but their hearts were not yet won, and John here lells how the Lord sought to lead them on from belief to faith. Let no one be content merely with joining the church, with being out wardly and in form a disciple of Christ. Ye shall know the truth! Take an illustration of the way in which the habit of cultivating truth is acquired. Two boys see a mis shapen, hideous object in the dark. One goes up to the cause of his ter ror, examines it, learns what it is he knows the truth, and the truth has made him free. The other leaves it in mystery and unexplained vagueness and is a slave for life to superstitions and indefinite terrors. They did not take kindly to the Lord's statement. They would not ac knowledge that they were not free. They had forgotten their years of bondage in Egypt, the captivity In Babylon, in Syria and now the Ro man yoke. They may have thought cf personal freedom rather than po litical. These Jews were unworthy descen dants of Abraham. No man should try and deceive himself. The piety and faithfulness of our ancestry can not save us. Abraham had two sons, one dwelt in his father's house and received the inheritance, the other was sent forth into exile. It was quite possible for them to be Abraham's children and yet be in spiritual bond-, age. "Every one that committeth sin is the bondservant of stn." What is sin? Any transgression of the divine law (the ten commandments). - Only as we admit Jesus into our heart and life do we become tree, be cause then we surrender our will to Him and let Hlra rule our life. Then we enjoy perfect liberty.' The Chris tian is a new man. Martin Luther used to say: "When any one comes and knocks at the door of my heart and asks, 'Who lives here?' I reply, 'Martin Lather used tt, bat ks has moved oat and Jesus Christ sew lives here.'" May there be many who shall thus go free. Can that is a slave to the llcas habit, can only be cured, by the great Physician. "His blood can make the foulest clean." The user of alcohol ic a, -slave to a habitformingt narcotic drug. The safest way is as the Apostle Paul states tt: "Touch not, taste not, handle not.' iCoL 2:21). lacss rytsr. Sr. Ucyd Craert, pastor of the Murray Christian church and Miss Bessie Royer. A de lightful time was had by all present. Don Galloway of north of Union, while eliding on his hand sled was injured on one of his legs when the sled struck a post. While he has been getting about, the leg has been giving him some trouble and on last Monday the parents were over to Murray to see the family physician about the injured leg. XXarioa Segal Davis Dies. Some two weeks since M. S. Davis, father of John A. Davis of Murray had the misfortune to fall on the slippery pavements of Hutchison, Kansas, fracturing his hip very badly and which made it necessary for him to take to his bed, the injured mem ber having to be placed in a cast. Everything was done for the aged man, who was seventy, at the hos pital. However he did not rally as desired and grew worse. The son, J. A. Davis, went to his bedside on Thursday of last week to do all pos sible for the father. Notwithstanding all that was done he continued to grow worse until he passed on Sun day morning at 2:30. His brother, O. A. Davis, who has been in California for the past num ber of weeks, on his return, accom panied by the wife, stopped at Hutch ison .to visit the brother, but arrived :ome three hours after the departure of the spirit of the brother. On Mon day moning another brother, I. M. Davis, arrived at Hutchinson. Arrangements were perfected for the funeral, which was set for Wed nesday afternoon at Haxton, Colo., where Mr. Davis resided for a num ber of years and where the wife of his earlier life passed away and was buried. Some five years ago Mr. Davis went to Hutchison to make his home with a daughter and after ar riving there was married the second time, the wife remaining to mourn his departure. There are four children, John A. Davis of Murray; Mrs. Mary Hyber, Denver; Mrs. T. E. Johnson of Hutch ison, Kansas; and another son at Denver. The deceased also leaves three brothers, they being O. A. Davis of Murray; Raymond Davis of Den ver and I. M. Davis of Lincoln. Uncle J. W.t Berger Dies. Some ten days since, J. W. Berger, over. 86 years of age, slipped and in fallfrfg injured one of his legs, which caused fne aged gentleman to take to his bed. However he had been in good spirits and on Sunday night was saying he was feeling much improv ed. During the latter portion of the night the wife went to the patient's bed to inquire as to his condition when he said, I am feeling pretty fine, thank you. Mrs. Berger return ed to her bed and after lying there for a while she heard the husband making a noise, went the second time and found him in much distress as to getting his breath. She then called to George Berger who secured a phy sician, but by the time the doctor got there he had passed on. Air. Berger was born at Winterset, la. ,and when but a small child came to Rock Bluffs, with the parents and there resided for some time, com ing to Nebraska 77 years ago and landing at Rock Bluffs. Mr. Berger has lived the greater portion of the time in Cass county, was in Lincoln wben that place was but a small Tillage. He has been a great reader and was always well informed. He lost a brother in upper California about two years ago. He has another brother, John Berger, father of Nel son Berger and Raymond Berger. Mr. Breger has always been a fiend to all who needed a friend, ever ready and willing to do any one a good turn. Those left to mourn his departure are George Berger, making his home with the parents; Will Berger of Ashland; Mrs. Marie Steinjer of Oklahoma City, Okla., and Mrs. J. H. Browne of Omaha. Visiting In Illinois. On last Monday morning Mrs. C. H. Boedeker, Jr., departed for Monmoth, Illinois, where she will visit with friends for a week.

Bakers Ask for Nev Trial in Bread Case Consider Taking Their Issues Before United States Supreme Court Federal Issue Involved The P. F. Peterson Baking com pany of Omaha and other baking companies in . the' standard, weight bread suit against' Governor Bryan and the secretary ' of the state de partment) of agriculture filed a mo tion for a new trial in district court at Lincoln Tuesday. H. D. LeMar of Omaha, attorney for some of the bakers, stated that the case might be carried to the United States su preme court as there is a federal is sue involved. Judge Broady upheld the stand ard loaf law passed by the 1931 leg islature and the plaintiffs claim his ruling contrary to law. Objections are made to the ruling of Judge Broady that the secretary cf agri culture had made new rules fixing the excess tolerance of three ounces per pound and it is claimed that an errcr was made in deciding the case upon rules adopted subsequent to the institution of the suit. It is allaged that the plaintiffs were entitled to have a determination of their prop erty rights as of the time of the filing of the suit. It is also alleged that the court was in error in finding that a two ounce tolerance could be compiled with "under modern baking condi-j tions," even tho the supreme court of the United States held differently. It is also alleged that the court was wrong in finding that the United States district court, in. passing upon the constitutionality of the 1927 law, held the same unconstitutional but did not disapprove of the tolerance provision. This finding, it is claimed, ; is not sustained oy the evidence. rO SECRET UNDERSTANDING Washington, Febr. 1. Ambassador Claudel, of France, assured Secretary Stimson that reports France had a secret understanding with Japan were uteerly false. The ambassador told Stimson France was in exactly the same position with reference to Japanese action at Shanghai as the other western powers. "We are in the same boat with the United States, Great Britain and the other powers," the ambassador told newspapermen after his talk with the secretary. Apparently the French foreign of fice had taken quite seriously recent reports ,thet a secret' understanding with Japan was deterring it from opposing .the. Japanese . course - in Shanghai. A local bridge husbands says he is in favor of a rule forbidding any one to talk while a gams is in seseisn. He believes tbst rule would practi cally eliminate the dubs, or at least quiet them down. lovana Held for Robberies at Sevard Seward Girl Is Found With Them at Ottumwa; Some Loot Recovered.
