Bible School Sunday, llarch 22nd "Jesus Teaches True Values" Luke 12. (Text 12:22-34). Bible student! These lessons, the Gocp?l cf Luke, run through six months, one chapter for each. Sun day. The leason text i3 the central portion, but the preceding verses and the concluding verses lead up to the lesson and clinch, or rivet the whole. The preaching and teaching of Jesus aiuiised the greatest excitement anions the people and bitter opposi tion, especially among the Scribes and Pharisees. Jesus uses the occa sion to sound a solemn warning asainst the "religion" of these lead ers of the people. (The Pharisees were a group arising in the Macca beaa period of Jewish history who were at that time to the people what the Puritans were in their early days to England. They arose out of a passion for the devine ideal for the nation, but in the days of Jesus, they had become utterly degenerate, hav ing lost their moral and spiritual fervor and actually becoming hypocrite- i. A hypocrite is one who is acting, but who is acting a part with the intention to deceive. "Leaven," in its action, i3 always destructive and never constructive; it sours, spreads and disintegrates. Leaven in itself i3 corruption. Hypocrisy is leaven. Hypocrisy itself is a lie. Cod places a high value on man, as shown by his intimate knowledge t-f him ar.d his fatherly care even to the numbering of the hair, which amount, to about 140,000, on the head of an adult. To c-onfc3s Christ is to publicly ac knowledge him to be what he claims to bo. It s importance is frequently emphasized (John 1:20; 9:22; 12: 42; Rom. 10:9, 10; I John 4:2, 3 and 15)). The sin against the Holy Spirit. (Soe Heb. 10:26-31). Here follows the lesson text: The rich "fool" was all animal. His universe was a great dinner table, or a great wine cellar. He told his soul that it would find heaven in a barn. How many are attempting to day to satisfy the soul, which was made for Cod, with material things of this world? This man, stripped naked, a bare, desolate soul, he passes from our sight, lost in dark ness of eternal" remorse. "Thou fool; thou fool!" Covtcousness, this in ordinate desire, has been the ruin of ;many; greed, avarice, gluttony are some characteristics. What a solr.nn warning the rich "Fool" should be. This anxiety about our physical needs robs men of their peace of niind, tranquility of soul, faith in God's care; it is a disturbing factor in the life of many; they are not at their best in serving God. only half hearted service is given, and that God will not accept. God, who cares j trict contest held last week in Ne braska City. The four, in the order named above, are James Webb, Steph en Davis, Kathryn Armstrong and James Sandin. They will be taken to Blair tomorrow morning, spending the entire day there. Judges of the contest will be Don Buell, member of the speech depart ment at the University of Nebraska, and R. Foster Patterson of the Tarkio college faculty. Patterson judged the sub-district meet at Nebraska City. MARRIED AT COURT HOUSE The marriage of Mrs. Ada Marie O'Day and Mr. John Robert Martin, both of Omaha, took place on Mon day afternoon at the county court room. The marriage lines were read by Judge A. II. Duxbury in hi3 usual impressive manner and the ceremony witnessed by Allan McClanahan and Miss Minnie Hild. . FUNERAL OF BABE The funeral of the infant child of Mr. and Mrs. Howard Clark wa3 held on Saturday afternoon at Oak Wood ; cemetery at Weeping Water. The jbabe died a short time after birth Friday. The Horton funeral home of this. city, had chrge of the service. Lesson Study! Ey L. Neitzel, Hurdock, Neb, for the birds and flowers, will surely care ior the Soul, which is part of him. "O, ye of little faith!" A life hid with Christ in God will have complete trust in Him and" no "anx ious" care can disturb it. "Though he slay me, yet will I trust him." (Job 13:15). That is the jubilant cry of a confiding soul. Verse 23 will allow two different interpretations. One is that man can not acid to the height of his stature, however anxiously he may wish it; the other is that he may and does add to "the measure of his life" by a decent, moral life, observing the laws of hygiene and sanitation (in the test 50 years the span of life has been prolonged from 35-5S years). In speaking of the glory and beauty of the lilies, Jesus says that the glory of King Solomon, which was proverbial, would not compare with them. God clothes them.' "Supposing the day comes when I cannot toil or spin, and cannot sow and reap, and gather into barns; then, when I can not, God can; and I am safe every way." (G. Campbell Morgan). The believer in our Father's tare must be above the nations of the world, for they do not know Him. But our Father knows what his children need and supplies all their wants. (Phil. 4:19). "Seek ye first the Kingdom," says Jesus in his voice of wisdom. But, instead, men do just the opposite; many .even put it off to their death bed, as tl.ey say, but do not know whether they will have one. The un certainties of life should set men to thinking, giving serious consideration to this all important matter. Why not settle it early in life and find the greatest "joy and peace in the Holy Ghost" (Rom. 14:17) and rely on God's promise that "these things" .mentioned above, will be given us as God's free gift. What a remarkable cheering prom ise i3 contained in verse 31. "Fear not, little flock, for it i3 your Fath er's pleasure to give you the King dom. " When his followers have ful filled all the conditions imposed, then God will give them the desire of their heart, when they prayed: "Thy Kingdom come!" They rejoiced when Ihey could do "greater things that theso." and saw the Kingdom come in Power and Glory, when thousands entered into "eternal life," glorify ing God and rejoicing in their new freedom. Jesus tries to. impress upon the disciples that they must let their light shine, and be watching and waiting for their Lord's return: Faithfulness will have a sure re ward, but so will unfaithfulness have also a sur punishment. "Be faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life." (Rev. 2:10). i i Thomas Nelson, who had his teeth extracted some time since, was in Om aha last Sunday, where he secured a new set.
