DEMANDS NOTE TO MEXICO
"Washington. A demand that the
state department reprimand two Mex
ican consuls who were charged with
anti-religious activities in this coun
try was made by Representative Mc
Cormack (d., Mass.)
At the same time, the house for
eign affairs committee asked Chair
man McReynolds (d., Tenn.) to de
termine the department's attitude on
a resolution protesting alleged relig
ious persecution in Mexico.
The department, thru Secretary
Hull, already has plainly indicated
its desire to steer clear of problems
caused by the controversy in Mexico
between the Catholic church and civil
authorities.

"Seme Great Christian Teachings"
THE HEAVENLY FATHER
John 14:8-24.
This second quarter will introduce
us to some great teachings that should.
bo a great help to our young genecav
tion, ,-for a better under6taiKlingrt)f
cur holy religion. To indoctrinate
our youth in these cardinal doctrines
requires teachers who are well versed
and established in the Scriptures, a3
much harm can be done by immature
and superficial teachers. It requires
a ripe experience to treat these sub
jects in such a way that our pupils
are led into a vital relationship with
them and carry with them the im
portance of these teachings. All the
Bible references should be diligently
studied, because they all have a di
rect bearing on the lesson.
The part to be "printed" is the
"heart' of the lesson, around which
the lcs.-cn is to be built. Psalm 103
in replete with references for the
feoodr.cca of God the Father.
This monologue shows us a man
communing with himself. The fath
erhood of God is in the central verse
(13), cf the Psalm, very tenderly
tinted. Isaiah 40:27-31 gives us a
graphic picture of "Our Father's"
wcndciful care and guidance for them
that "wait upon the Lord." The
Father's tendercst care is vouchsafed
to hi3 trusting children in Matt. 6:24
31. He who takes care of the spar
row, the grass and the lilies cannot
forget his children. The Father knows
wLat they need.
Luke has preserved for us that
model prayor in which we have learn
ed to pray, "Our Father." (Luke 11:
2). The Son cf God having become
cur brother; our nature being now
wcrn by the cane person as wears
the nature of Gcd we now can claim
the ramo Father an Christ claims. The
only way to become the children of
God, John tell3 U3 in chapter 3:3-6 is
"to be born again." The greatest mo
Inent in any man's life is when he is
born into the family of God. "As many
as are led by the spirit cf God are i
the sc:i3 of God." (Romans S:14, 15).
The central teaching of our lesson i3
found in John 14:8-24. The state
ment of Jesus that he would go away,
and they knew the way, precipitated
a question irom Thomas that they did
not know the way. Thomas get his
answer: "I am the way, and the truth
and the life." The reply of Christ
has inexhaustible truth in its few
words. "He is the way to the truth
and the way to the life. He is the
truth of the way and the truth of
the life. He is the life of the way and
the life of the truth." (John G. Bow
man ) .

ROBBERY SERIES CONFESSED

we need.'.'
Why had the disciples not seen that
Christ was the perfect revelation of
the Father?. "He that hath seen me
hath seen the Father; how sayest
thou, show us the Father?',' This sen
tence most " unmistakably makes
Christ "speak- of himself as equal
with the Father, true God. "A Chris
tian, even a perfect one, would not
cay, 'He who has seen me has seen
Christ.' How much les3 could a man,
even a perfect man, say, 'He who has
seen me, has seen the Father. (F.
Godet).
A perfect identification is shown
in this sentence: "The words that I
say . . . but the Father doeth his
wcrk3." The words and works of
Christ are pointed out as the two
proofs of his union with the Father.
Prayer i3 now to be the channel thru
which that power is to be received
for their work. "If ye shall ask any
thing in my name, that will I do."
Thus, while his disciples pray in his
name on the earth, he will act from
heaven on God's part here is union
between heaven and earth. The best
proof, if one professes to be a Chris
tian is the fact that he keeps Christ's
commandments. "Obedience i3 the
necessary consequence of love." (B.
F. Westcott). There is no closer re
lationship possible, between Christ
and his disciples than is given in this
statement: "If a. man love r.ie, he
will keep my word; and my Father
will love him. And we will come
unto him, and make our abode with
"him." (Rev. 3:20). Here on earth,
it is Cod who makes his abode with
the believer; in heaven it will be the
believer who will make his abode
with God. The first of these facts J
(vere 23) prepares for the second
(verse 3).
Another undeniable fact is this:
"He that loveth me (Christ) not,
kcepeth not my words." Without sin
cere obedience, profession, talk,
knowledge, church membership, yes,
even conviction, weeping and crying,
ere all worthless things. It i3 a mat
ter of cuch vital importance, this
unicn with the Trinity, that Jesus
used the strongest terms to describe
it. It would be a heart of stone that
is net moved by the passionate utter
ances of Christ.
Thinking and reflecting on the
Fatherhood of God, and the love of
Jesus and companionship cf the-Holy
Spirit, it must move the redeemed
soul to exclaim:
"I. stand amazed in the presence
Of Jesus the Nazarene,
And wonder how he could love me
A sinner, condemned, unclean
"How marvelous! How wonderful!
And my scng shall ever be r
Hew marvelous! O how wonderful
Is my Savior's love for me."

Spring Tonics.
The first warm weather brings
back thoughts cf years ago when
"sulphur and molasses," "sassafras
tea" and other spring tonics were the
order of the day.
The modern "spring tonic" is a lib
eral use of greens," most of which
are good sources of blood and bone
building foods and protective foods.
At this season of the year, fresh
greens are often found on the mar
ket at prices which are within the
reach of even the small food budget.
Then too, native greens as dandelion,
lambs quarter, dock and mustard will
soon be available. ,T.he thrifty house
wife will pian to use these and save
the money for; other necessary pur
chases. Many people do not eat enough
vegetables in the winter. This is an
other reason for urging them to eat
greens in the spring when one may
be feeling the effects of a scarcity of
greens in the winter. It is also an
other reason why families who can
have a garden should plan to have
greens growing through as much oft
the year as possible.
As a rule, greens taste better, if
cooked just enough to wilt them.
Put the greens in a kettle with very
little water (for spinach and dande
lions, no water except what clings
to the leaves after washing). Do not
put a lid on the kettle. Cooking
greens covered spoils the fresh green
color. Let them heat for a few min
utes, stirring occasionally, until they
are just wilted. Then chop and serve
with salt pork or bacon fat for sea
soning. For panned greens, first crisp salt
pork or bacon in the pan, then put
in the greens and turn them over
and over until they are wilted in
the hot salt fat. Greens wilted in
hot, cooked salad dressing make an
other interesting dish.

given as reasons for extending the en
trant date. The contest, which is
sponsored by the Nebraska College of
Agriculture, the Omaha Chamber of
Commerce, the agricultural extension
service and the Nebraska Crop Grow
ers' association is proving exceeding
ly popular. A total of $1,500 in prizes
go to winners.

state close this week. The attend
ance has been-"' larger than expected
and farmers throughout the state
have taken a great interest in get
