In Adolf Hitler's lonely Bavarian mountain retreat, four of the leading men of the third reich met with their fuehrer over the week end to discuss questions of the ut most import to Germany, it was learned. Meeting with Hitler were Prussian Premier Gcering, Joachim von Rlbbentrcp, arms expert, Gen. Werner von Blomberg, of the reichs wchr, and Baron Konstantin von Neu rath, foreign minister. The follow ing questions were under discussion. 1. The current , Anglo - German naval talks. 2. Prospects of a Danubian con ference. 3. The attitude of the new British and French cabinets on Germany's inquiry concerning the implications of the Franco-Russian and Czecho ltussian pacts. 4. Von Ribbentrop's talk with Sir John Simon on the general European situation. 5. Signs of improvement in the German relationship with Italy as evidenced by the readmission of Ger man newspapers to Italy. While the strictest silence was ob served regarding the talks, it became known that the German government welcomes the appointment of Pierre Laval as premier of France, but there is a fear that the anti-German influence of Edouard Herriot and other members of the cabinet may prevent his coming to terme with the reich. Bible School Sunday, June 16th "Christian Stewardship" Deut. 8:11-1S; II Cor. 0:6-8. God is dealing very generously with man. In the first place He allows man to have six days to himself and only" reserves one day to be devoted to His glory and the development of man's spiritual nature. In the second place He furnishes everything the ecil, the seed, rain, wind, sunshine to get a harvest and only expects the tenth part cs rent; where man in his greed exacts one-half the increase and often demands his rent in advance. And in hjs- dealings with God man lias always the best of the bargain instead of serving God on Sunday, it is Him that serves man; in giving the tenth he only gives a part of his labor, because as stated above that is ill man furnisher; Gcd gives the rest. Moces had brought Israel to the borders of the promised land, and knowing man, he sounds a solemn warning not to forget their benefac tor, after receiving the blessings He had prcmifjcd. There is no more aw ful word in the Scriptures than just this word "fcrget." It expresses the quintessence cf disunion. It marks the culmination cf. spiritual tragedy. It suggests the uttermost poignancy of the pain of abandonment. When ever it eppears in any book of the Scriptures it seems to record the cli max, the very maturity of elimination. A few samples may mffice: In Deut., "Thou hast forgcttcn God who form ed thee." Jeremiah, "My people have forgotten me." Ezakiel, "Thou hast forgotten me!" Ilosea, , Israel hath forgotten his Maker." That is Cod's lament. How eft do we find that true in dealing with imen; they will accept all the favors we can bestow, but as soon as favors cease to ecrr.e their way their friend ship is at an end, all kindness freely given is forgotten. Moses' warning was very timely, still Israel forgot God. "For it iz He that giveth thee power to get wealth." If God would withdraw his hand from man, what would become cf him? Than God has ordained it .so that man shall be a co-laborer with him; He want3 man to be a partner in building hi3 king dom, so He asks for man to contribute his share of the cost. This contribu tion need not necessarily consist of material things only, the .talents God lias given men are Jo be consecrated to his service. How oft this part of the service is neglected and forgotten! Man shirks and shuns his work. The parable of the talents In Matt. 25: 14-30 shows us what God has a right to expect above all. faithfulness. Let us note the five men who are counted faithful in the New Testa RELIEF GARDENS PLANNED The last division of the rural re habilitation department deals with relief gardens, expenses of which arc met from the funds of the Nebraska rural rehabilitation corporation. ' The program is of individual and community projects. Its purpose is -to furnish seeds to those farmers who have available plots of land for gar dens, and to assist other farmers in obtaining garden space. Approximately 29,000 gardens will be supervised in Nebraska by the FERA this spring. Enough seeds were furnished to provide for the summer vegetable needs of the clients, includ ing beans, beets, carrots, kohl-rabi, lettuce, spinach, Swiss chard, onion, cabbage, tomatoes and peppers. Thirty-six community gardens, covering 500 acres, will be located in twenty-three counties. These will be operated under direction of the local director as work projects, the foreman, in most cases, being chosen from relief rolls. The gardens most of them in eastern Nebraska will be used to produce vegetables suitable for stor age and canning. The county fur nishes the land and irrigation if ne cessary. The state FERA furnishes canning facilities. The canneries will be operated under the technical supervision of nutrition department with relief labor. Lesson Study! By L. Neitzel, Murdock. Neb. ment: Timothy (I Cor. 4:17); Ty- chicus (Eph. 6:21; Col. 4:7); Epaph- ras (Col. 1:7); Onesimus (Col. 4:9); Sylranus (I Pet. 5:12). The law of "tithing" should be very carefully studied. (See Lev. 27: 30-33; Numbers lS:21-32; Deut. 12: 5-18). That should convince anyone that he cannot do what he pleases with his property. Those who fail to contribute to the cause of the King dom are called "robbers." The with holding is a sin and a crime. (See Mat. 3:8-11). How and when to give is explained in II Cor. 8:1-9. It is the sympathetic spirit of Jesus Christ and his constraining love in his followers that seeks and finds ways and means to minister to the sufferers. Systematic giving is en joined, no haphazard and spasmodic giving; orderly - and conscientious. Paul never uses the word "money" in hi3 extended discussion of giving, but instead he employs a Very ex quisite vocabulary in referring to these delicate and most material mat ters. Four times he speaks of giving as a grace: II Cor. 8:1, 7, 19; 9:8. The Lord's Day, or Sunday, i3 a good time to lay aside the Lord's por tion, so it be ready when the need and call are presented. The apostolic teaching concerning gifts is taught by a metaphor, which is easily under stood, cf sewing and reaping. "He tails it sowing in order that we may learn by the figure of the harvest that, in giving, we receive more than we give." (Chrysostorn). "Let each man do according as he hath pur posed in his heart," deliberate choice, without sny constraint of any kind, free from the impulse of passion; joy ous or hilarious giving pleases God. In order to "give," I must "have" to give. How can I give, when I have nothing? Many of U3 would "have" if we used our brain to find a way to "get." It is not a hard mat ter to sacrifice some of our luxuries, unnecessary things, to get the means to give. Our luxuries deprive others of their necessities. Love, will find the way to have for giving. "Love never faileth." Our Lord became poor that wo nhould be rich; and He says, "Follow me!" "Give of your best to the . Master; Nought else is worthy of His love! He gave Himself for your ransom. Gave up His glory above; Laid down His lire without murmur. You from sin's ruin to save! Give Him your heart's adoration; Give Him the best that you have." COINED THE TERM 'G MEN' Washington. The term "G-Men," popularly linked with t'uo college trained criminal hunter of the fed eral bureau of investigation '.vd first attached to them by a kidnaper, George "Machine Gun" Kelly. J. Ed gar Hoover confirmed as he paused for a moment in announcing new details In the Weyerhaeuser kidnap ing case. "Our men surprised Kelly and his wife in an apartment at Memphis, Tenn," Hoover said. "Kelly had made numerous threats and boasts and after his capture he kept talk ing about G-men. One of our agents asked him what he meant and he re plied: 'Why, G-men are government men'." Hoover always uses "special agents" when referring to his men. Asked if he objected to "G-men," he said: "The term has been so popu larized, I don't know what we could substitute for it if I did."
