THE BIG GAME OF THE SEASON
Friday evening trie Wahoo high
school basketball team will appear
vn the local court to battle the
Platters." Wahoo has amassed a
fancy record this year, having won
12 straight victories and having no
defeats. That is just what is staring!
the Platters in the face, and they
feel equal to the occasion of upsetting
the unbeaten "Wahoo'ers."
All the basketball fans v.-ho have
been hibernating this winter, due to
the cold weather, should be out in
full force to help the "Platters" up
set the dope.
Plattsmouth has a good record for
the season, winning eight games and
losing only o.e, that being to North,
cf Omaha.
The big guns in the Wahoo ranks
this year are Kellgren and Bullock,
forwards, Smersh. center who have
carried the burden in the scoring and
Oc'i-ander and Olson, a fine pair of
gvards. who have checked the at
tacks of all their opponents to date.
Don't miss it, as it will be a red
hot game.

"Vision and Service"
Luke 9:28-43.
For a perfect understanding of
the lessons, the incidents of the whole
chapter should be woven into a per
fect whole, with the Transfiguration
a3 its center piece. While L&lre fol
lows no chronological order, the
chapter is replete with very interest
ing acts and various teachings that
will enlarge our vision of the work
of Jesus in our behalf. There is the
sending forth of twelve disciples on
a special mission, as part of their
training with precise instruction as
to what to do and why. (The teach
er v.-ill call on the class for enumera
tion of details).
The feeding of the-five thousand
men (women and children are not
oinited) which may mean, in real
ity near ten thousand, was a most
remarkable feat. Yet, we suggest you
show here how Our Father repeats
this every day to 1.600,000.000 with
three meals daily instead of one, and
has done so for thousands of years.
We have a great and wonderful Pro
vider! Then the greatest of all questions
that can be asked of man. Upon the
answer may depend man's eternal
happiness or woe. The deeds and life
of Jesus, a. seen by ths Twelve could
give but cr.e answer. "Whom say ye
that I am?" Peter gives the answer,
in which the rest concur: "The
Christ of God."
Whoever recognizes Jesus as the
Rnnointcd Messiah and accepts Him,
has the Kingdom of God within.
Then the first announcement of
the suffering of the Son of God, that
he "must" undergo, is of a very sol
emn nature, and left a deep impres
sion r-the disciples. The great rea
son why he "must" go wa3 that oth
erwise he would never fulfill his mis
ricn for which he came, and that he
could never be the Savior of man,
and would be left to their own ter
rible eternal doom, did he not abso
lutely determine to ascer.d the hill
of Calvary, to die for cur sins. "A
man carrying a cress was obviously a
man on his way to die, a man who
was beyond the point at which his j
own will had anything to do with
shaping hi3 path or hi3 destiny. And
the Lord wanted his dis;!plo3 to take
the sacrificial principle as the guida
of life; that they could truly live
only if they truly died. Therein lie3
his true completeness and joy; he i3
on his way to his crown." J. M. E.
Ross.
Did the disciples actually see "the
Kingdom of God?" Surely its begin
ning at Pentecost; they did not see
the Kingdom concluded. No one has
yet seen -ihat. A momentcous act in
Jesus life is about to be enacted the
transfiguration! Here are six days
that do not show what transpired;
days of "silence proceeding the drama
on the Mount.

WAH00 WINS OVER NORTH
Wahoo high school basketball team,
who will oppose Plattsmouth at the
high school gym here Friday even
ing, was the winner over North high
school of Omaha on Tuesday by the
score of 25-24. The game was close
throughout with Wahoo being in the
lead practically all the way.
This score may look bad for the
Platters as earlier in the season North
walloped the locals 44 to 9. How
ever, comparative scores are some
times misleading and the locals ex
pect to end the Wahoo winning
streak which now stands at 13
straight victories and no defeats.
Be on hand to see a good game
Friday evening.
DEMOCRATIC CITY COMMITTEE
Chairman Adam Marshall of the
democratic city committee, announces
that a meeting of the committee will
be held on Friday evening at 7
o'clock at the district court room in

held and at which non-partisan can
didates are invited to be present and
speak if they wish.
Lesson Study!
By L. Neitzel, Hurdock, Neb.
j power of Jesus in Jairus house, they
should now see his glory, and finally
hi3 greatest agony. Mountains have
played a great part in the life of our
Lord. (Can you name them?) The
four climb Mount Hermon, 10,000
feet h.ish no wonder the . disciples
are tired and sleepy. Not- so Jesus!
He is communing with his Father.
The most precious experiences of
the Child of God are the hours spent
alone with God in prayer mountain
top experiences, we call them. "We
cannot doubt that the subject on
which he drew near to the Father
was his approaching death." A. B.
Davidson. This is one of the nine
places in which Luke makes refer
ence to the private prayer life of
Jesus. A wonderful change comes
over him, "the Glory he had with the
Father before the world was" (John
17:5) shines forth even through his
clothes a great day in his life.
Two heavenly visitors appear on
the scene Moses, the giver of the
law, and Elijah, the representative
of the prophets. Jesus came to fulfill
the law and the prophets; this coun
cil was held to see that all was prop
erly carried out. The redemption of
the race was a tremendous work, in
which heaven was much concerned.
(This was the first time that Mos-?s
actually stood in the land of prom
ise). After this council. Jesus know
ing the sacrifice that he must make,
sets his face to go up to Jerusalem.
The die 13 cast, with the shadow of
the cross before him, after having
enjoyed for a little while the heav
enly visitors, and for a few moments
his former glory, and hearing his
Father's
voice, in approbation of the!'
course he is pursuing, the drama
closes, and he is ready to finish the
work he came to do. The disciples
might have seen and heard more had ,
they not slept. So do
people miss
much in the public service, because'
"the glory of God passes by" (Ex.
33:22), it is for men to be awake.
From this exalted and precious ex
perience, Jesus plunges into the work
of wresting the world out of Satan's
power, at the foot of the mountain
a remarkable scene the powerless
disciple and the powerful Christ
ccme to grip3 with the devil, proving
to the multitude that "all power is
given him. (Matt. 2S:1S. This
child is healed and restored to his
'Father, like the son of the widow at
Nain was delivered to his mother and
Jairus" daughter to the home. So has
our Christ saved and restored many
a wayward boy and virl to parents
and society, and made useful mem
bers out of them, an honor to men
and a glory to God. What a wonder
ful saviour we have, "who is able
and willing to save to the uttermost,
that come unto God by Him." (Heb.
7:23).
Come to this saviour; make no
delayi

beer taverns near this city, had an
unusual experience last evening and
v. hich for a time caused him some ,
unpleasant feelings.

at the tavern, a couple arrived on!"11"0" r"

selves when suddenly the door was
filing open and entered the wife oi

glass in hubby's car and then leav
ing the place while the other two
beat a hasty retreat southward to
the capitol city of the Otoes where!
they are reported to make their
home.
