Bible School Sunday, Jcmiary ISth. i "Jesus Prepares for His Work Luke 3:21 -22; 4:1-13. Much of man's success in life de pends ou his preparation. It takes years to master a trade. In our day it is the specialist who i3 the great est success; the "Jack of All Trades" never was a success. In the spiritual realm, it is of greater importance still, that men are well prepared and equipped, because the eternal destiny of immortal souls is at stake. The great Apostle Paul realized the im portance of his calling when he said: "This cne thing I do ... I press to ward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus." (Phil. 3:13, 14). That was the reason for his retirement to Arabia after his conversion, when he was ready for the great work assigned to him from God. Barnabas went and brought him to the church at Antioch. John the Baptist was thirty years in preparation for his work that last ed less than one year. Jesus spent thirty years to prepare himself for his "Father's business," which he finished in about three years. Part of his preparatory course was his bap tism by his cousin. John, who was six months older than Jesu3. At this time Jesus was properly introduced to John and those about the place: "This i3 my beloved Son; hear him." The trinity was here represented Father, Son and Holy Spirit! At this point of the narrative, Luke deems it necessary to give us the genealogy of Jesus on his mother's siae. fceventy-ionr generations are counted, backward from Joseph, the foster lather of Jesus (Heli was the father of Mary, the mother of Jesii3, and having no sons, Joseph, after marrying i'.Iary, takes her place in the genealogy) and goes back to Adam who was the Son of God. Matthew gives U3 a genealogy, be ginning with Abraham (forty-two generations, proving Jesus is the de scendant of King David. These facts, that Jesus hails from his kingly an cestor, as the scriptures had prophe sied, are corroborated by other writ ers. (Rom. 1:3; Acts 2:30; II Tim. 2:8). Before Jesus can begin his great work of redeeming the world. he must undergo a severe test, to prove himself master of ths situation. What was lost through Adam must be re gained by Christ. Everything of value must be tested for its true worth and character. Even the angels in their time had to undergo a test, and not all stood the test. (Jude, v. 6; II Peter ; 2:4). The moment of his baptism was an Iiour of great exultation for our Lord, to be honored by his Father in such a public way. So we find it in life, hours and days of great spiritual blessings are followed, often by times of great depressions of spirit, as the writer of Ps. 73 tells us, but light comes to him again, in sanctuary of God. (Ps. 73:1-17). When the test was applied to Adam SECOND THEATER FIRE Nebraska City. Fire of undeter mined origin damaged an unused por tion of the Overland theater build ing here. It was the second fire in this unoccupied section of the build ing in less than a year. No estimate of the loss was available. The flames did not reach the main auditorium of the building.

Now we can take up the tempta tion of Jesus, or his testing. He goes into the wilderness man's creation and for forty days he meditates and communes with God regarding the plans and purposes of God. dis regarding his physical needs.

Chicago. Anything that looks like unnecessary roughness will be called without fear or favor by football of ficials working games next season in the fourteen states which play under the national federation of high sthool athletic associations code. The football rules committee, seek ing to eliminate all injury hazards from prep games,, finished its two day session Saturday by tightening the sections Covering unnecessary roughness. : The - federation's code i3 used in Illinois, Alabama, Florida, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri. Minnesota, Oregon, Utah, North Dakota, South Dakota. Tennessee Wisconsin and Colorado. Particular emphasis was laid on tackling ball carriers out of bounds and neck and head tackling. From now on the officials will enforce a 15 yard penalty, for tackling out of bounds and the same assessment will be made for tackles on which the defensive player appears to wrench or twist the ball carrier's neck or head. The responsibility for know ing when the man with the ball is out of bounds . will rest with the tackier. The committee ordered its editorial group to reword the section covering head and neck tackles so as to express its deep feeling against the offense. The hurdle" rule was eliminated but jumping with feet or knees ahead of ths rest of the body was incorporated in tho unnecessary roughness section. A proposal to establish a "safety zone" along the sidelines also was adopted. The feone, extending five yards behind each sideline, must be kept free, as far as possible, o benches, water buckets and rigid yard markers to aid in protecting players falling out of bounds. The interval between the first and second, and between the third and fourth periods was increased from one to two minutes. The intermission be tween halves was lengthened from 12 to 15 minutes, with a recommen dation that the extra three minutes be devoted to warming up. Statistics read Friday indicated that many in juries occurring at the start of the second half were due to lack of lim bering up.
