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

Sold Their Corn
Charles Sporer, Virgil Sudduth,
Searl S. Davis and Leo Bintner were
shelling corn during the past week.
The grain was being delivered to the
Murray elsvr.tor, where it was being
icEold to cattle feeders as rapidly as
it became available. There is very
little, if any; corn being shipped out
of the vicinity this year, trucks com
ing here from joints farther west to
get supplies of this cereal for stock
raisers there who face a great short
age and will be unable to finish out
their feeding program unless they
can get the corn to do it with.
lived Here Many Years
The territory of Kansas and Ne
braska, or that portion now compris
ing the state of Nebraska, was ad
mitted as a state during the month
of March, 1S67, and to this new
state in the month of May of the
same year came George I. Lloyd, who
ha3 made his home here during all
the intervening 69 years.
In this long stretch of time al
most the alloted span of man he
has seen the state grow from a mere
handful of settlers to a great common
wealth, comprising farming communi
ties, cities and villages. He says he
has never seen a winter as severe as
the one now drawing, to a close. He
would not, however, exchange his
home here for one in any other state
in the union-tftnd is a genuine boost
er for Nebraska and the opportuni
ties it offers.
.Mr. Lloyd has been afflicted with
rheumatism for some time, but is not
bothered with it all the time, and in
spite of his advanced age is able to
(get much enjoyment out of life.
