'Jesus Locks at Wealth and
Property"
Luke 16. Lesson 10:19-31.
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

funeral! 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.

Washington.-A 225,000 gain in
employment in manufacturing and
non-manufacturing industries during
March was reported by Secretary
Perkins. She said in one branch of
the steel industry production was
above the 1929, level. Weekly pay
rolls in industries surveyed by the
bureau of labor statistics, she said,
were 10 millions and 20 million dol
lars more than a year ago. At Ihe
time she said that 4
1-2 million
young people had entered the labor
market since 1929, and that employ
ment would have to be 124 percent
cf the "normal' level to absorb the
extra potential workers.

State Wide
Beauty Contest
Fair Feature
Nebraska's Mo it Beautiful Girl to Be
Selected at State Fair to Com
pete in National Show.
Nebraska's most beautiful girl!
That distinction, together with the
title of "Miss Nebraska of 1936" will
be bestowed upon the winner of a
state-wide beauty pageant to be
staged by the state fair this year.
Tho young woman who wins the
crown of Miss Nebraska will com
pete in the national beauty pageant
at Atlantic City, N. J., the first time
that Nebraska has ever been repre
sented, Perry Reed, secretary of the
state fair, said in announcing the
state-wide contest.
Miss Nebraska will be selected
from among the winners of over 200
local pageants to be conducted under
the auspices of the Nebraska state
air and the National Beauty pageant,
which conducts the annual Atlantic
jCity beauty contest for the selection
of Miss America.
"Nebraska girls are famous for
their beauty and somewhere in this
state there is a girl who deserves the
title of Miss America. The state
fair, always mindful of Nebraska's
interests, is going to find her and
send her to Atlantic City," said Reed.
This summer, ths state fair in af
filiation with the National Beauty
pageant will sponsor unit shows in
Nebraska towns with the co-cperation
of schools, lodges, civic clubs, the
aters, churches and ether organiza
tions, Reev- said. Tho winners will
be sent to the state fair in Septem
ber with all expenses paid, and
while in Lincoln they will be enter
tained lavishly, said Reed.
Reed said present plans call for
a two-days beauty pageant at the
state fair on Wednesday and Thurs
day of the exposition, September 9
and 10, culminating in the choice of
Miss Nebraska on Thursday.
Later in September, Miss Nebraska
cf 1S3C will go to Atlantic City, with
all her expenses paid, to compete
with ether state winners for the
coveted title of Miss America of
contract.
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. Elm Creek's
volunteer firemen wish people would
refrain from playing "hide and seek"
with their fire fighting equipment.
Answering a recent alarm, they
found themselves short of hose by two j

house they discovered the missing
hose neatly coiled on the floor. An
extension ladder and a raincoat also
were "borrowed" and haven't been
returned.
