The subjsct matter tor study are: The eternal consequences of the things v. e do in this life. Jesus knew, hence could teach and warn men. By relating a parable, he taught his disciples the USE and ABUSE of property. A rich man em ployed a Stewart to look after his property. We find Abraham needed one. (Gen. 24:2-12). Elieser proved a capable and honest man; so did rotiphar employ Joseph (Gen. 39:4), who proved to be a very valuable steward, but the steward of this rich man proved to be a dishonest, deceit ful rogue. But he was clever, and b manipulating the contracts of his Lord's tenants, changed and reduced thoir obligations1 the wheat con tract from about 1400 bushels to 1120 bushels (20), the oil con tract from 975 gallons, 50 less. But he was found out and lost his position; nevertheless his lord (not the Lord Jesus) commended his cleverness. j The teaching cf this parable is simply this, that man, entrusted with wealth can do much good with it. And will receive due credit for it. Faithfulness is enjoined, in ma terial as well as in spiritual things. But how foolish many act by trying to live a worldly life and die a '.aii-.tly-' death cheat the devil. It cannot he done! Either God or the devil Gcd will not accept half heal ted service. My all must be on the altar, there . . . "waiting for the fire." The lesion proper is the only one in the Scripture that gives us a glimpse into the hereafter. One should approach the reading, the study, ana especially the? teaching of this story, on his knees. It is not stated that our Lord i3 uttering a parable: it seems we can connect this story with the "rich young ruler" spoken of in Marl: 10:17-27. Tertulliar.. Calvin and others believe it a historical cecurrance. By tak ing this view, it simplifies the whole story, and the teaching should be easy. "There was a certain rich young man" nothing wrong in that; He dressed well he could afford it nothing wrong in that. His mode of living even is not criticized by Jesus; yet selfishness and extravagance are certainly to be understood. "And a certain begger, named Lazarii3 whom God helps was laid at his gate, full of sores" ulcers. The op posite from th3 former nothing strange in this an everyday pic ture. The sad part is that the rich man neglected his opportunity to share his wealth with the poor. The scene changes: "The beggar died" what became of his body? But his Ego Soul was secure in Para dise . . . "Abraham's bosom," the only place in Bible a place of in timate communion and of honor. (John 1:1S; 13:13-25). "The rich man also died" what became of his body? "lie was buried" with many mourners and much pomp, a great ATTEND SCOUT MEETING Scoutmaster II. J. Larson and E. H. Wescott of the Boy Scout council, were at Nebraska City Tuesday even ing to attend a business meeting of the Arbor Lodge district of the Boy Scouts of America. There were thirty present and rep resenting Cass, Otoe and Nemaha counties in the district, all but two troops being" represented at the meet ing. Plans were discussed for the dis trict circus to be held at Auburn on June 9th and in which the local troop will participate.

Is that the end? Many wish it were. A glimpse into the hereafter . . . "Hades," the unseen world the place of departed spirits between death and resurrection. Before the ascention of Christ, Hades was in two divisions; the place where the saved were confined was called "Par adise;" the place of the lost was known as "Tartarus." Since the as cention of Christ, while the wicked dead are still in Hades, the believ ing dead are in Paradise, which is heaven, with the Lord. Both con scious after death; both realizing their condition. "Torment" on the one side; "comfort," composure on the other side. Now the rich man prays but not to God -to "Father Abraham." Hence, he was a Jew. We are taught here definitely that there is no "second chance." The torment in hell is pictured in Ilev. 14:10-11. The sting of the torment i3 MEMORY. "Son, remember!" Thinking back brings remorse, but not repentance; too late for that. Abraham's tone is gentle, but firm. How can any man reasonably ex pect, after having spurned God'3 goodness, neglected every opportun ity put in his way Lazarus at his gate lived only for himself and the gratifying of the desires of his low er nature, to receive any considera tion for alleviation of his suffering, when he showed no mercy to the suffering that wa3 placed in his way? Whatsoever any man soweth, that shall he also reap. This is a rule that will never be broken. Let man beware God i3 just! Why did this man try to keep hi3 five brothers from going to heil? Would it increase his torment? Had he possibly set them a bad example? Would they, if they came to the same place, accuse him of their con dition? Would he live a different life, had he another chance? That is doubtful. With the same nature, he would live the same life over. In the Scriptures God ha3 point ed out the way of life and death, for all men the same way. Only one mediator, Jesus Christ; ho is the door to the fold. If man will not be lieve the Scriptures, will they be lieve a Ghost? No miracle could convince one who closes his heart against the voice cf conscience and the pleading of the Holy Spirit. The Jews did not believe when the Lord raised the widow's son at Nain, the daughter of Jairus, or Lazarus at Bethany, nor even when he himself was raised from the dead, according to the Scriptures. In fact, the Jews actually sought to kill Lazarus be cause of the power of his testimony to the Lord Jesus Christ after he had been raised from the dead. (John 12:10). The rich man did not go to hell because he was rich, nor the poor man to heaven because of his pov erty. No specific vices are assigned to the rich man, and no specific vir tues are ascribed to Lazarus. The lattcr's help was in God; against this he did not murmur. The former was lost for neglecting to make the prop ter use of his wealth.

NEW GIANT COSMOS Annual flowers which grow tall, and give an abundance of Cowers in the late summer and fall months, are at a premium, because tall peren nials are so scarce at that time. Cosmos has long been a favorite an nual for border backgrounds, but in northern states where fall comes early the finest type of cosmos, which blooms very late, is often hilled by frost before flowering. Early varieties have been develop- ed but unU1 now they have been gen. and size of flower. These deficiencies have been cancelled, however, by a new early strain, christened Sensa tion, which won an award in the All America trials for 193 6. Sensation bears Mowers which are even larger than the late flowering type. Its pink and white blossoms which measure to 6 inches across give a light-hearted atmosphere to the sea son's end, which contrasts pleasingly with the run-of-the-mill orange and burnt reds which predominate in na ture. The huge bushes, which grow 4 to 6 feet tall and are covered with a shet of cheerful color, make a beau- tiful sisht. Although seed can be sown direct into the ground in the spring, best results will come from starting seed lings in flats. This will provide an extra month or so of growth, and a correspondingly longer season of bloom. For the tallest bushes, and most profuse bloom, set out 3 to 4 feet apart, and disbud them. A planting of cosmos Sensation in an open corner or bed, where the fall wind3 can catch its myriad stems and branches, makes a stirring picture. FIRE HOSE -E0RR0WED' Elm Creek, Neb.
