"Jesus Teaches Forgivness, Humility and Gratitude" Luke 17. Lesson 17:1-19. God." (J. M. E. Ross). The teaching of Jesus in verse 4 was too much even for the disciples; their fnith tins Tint onusil in thnt The teaching of the above subjects Uould ours be? "Lord, increase our faith." He is the giver of all good and perfect gifts, and through him a growing faith can be experienced. How much faith doe3 it take to up root a tree? O, the power of faith! requires more than common intelli gence; it requires the assistance and illumination of the Holy Spirit to properly understand the relationship which exists between people who live, v.crk, or meet together for any occasicn. and our words and deeds of those with whom we associate. They should be led to see how im portant it is that our relationship to ethers, our thoughts of others, our to others, our deeds for others, mist he the highest, the noblest, the truest, the most unselfish, if we our selves are to be the big, strong, help ful, radicnt men and women that God wants uii to be. What our relation ship to ethers ought to be on this high plane, Jesus undertook to teach, and some of those teachings are in corporated in this chapter. "It is impossible but that occasions for stumbling should come." No one need to be surprised; not all men have "the mind of Christ," even among his professed followers. It is tad to say that it takes a long time for some to overcome bad habits, temper and disposition, after conver sion. But, thanks be to God, the blood of Jesus will cleanse to the uttermost. Men should hear the warning of Jesus; he allows no excuse for any one to be or put a stumbling block in anyone's way. The man who puts the stumbling block in the way of the little one is more guilty than the one who fell over it. The man who did it, or the woman who did it, is supremely guilty before the high court of heaven. Who would want to have the guilt upon his conscience of having led one Eoul astray? Th:3 idea of future pun ishment in relation to our sin against others here upon earth underlies the picture, "Napoleon's Welcome to There is nothing impossible to a faith if it is a living thing which in your life is producing results that are in consonance with the thing you profess to believe. The teaching in verses 7 to 10 are these: Man is a creature that be longs to God; he can demand service; we are hi3 property. "Unprofitable" occurs but one more time in the New Testament, Matt. 25:30, and means Lord. "We have done that which it was our duty to do." "Though I call myself an unprofitable servant, it does not follow that he will call me so. Though I serve him simply out of love, looking for no reward, it does not follow that there shall be no reward." (G. H. Knight.) On his journey to Jerusalem, Jesus enters an unknown village only to meet ten lepers Leprosy a very loathsome and deadly disease liken ed unto sin in its effect. These men must have known about Jesus they call him by name. Their cry implies that they have faith in Christ and his power to heal. The sight of these unfortunates and their hopeless and helpless con dition, as far as man was concerned the curse of sin aroused in Jesus the deepest sympathy and compas sion; a short command: "Go, and show yourselves to the priests." They had to declare them clean according to Lev. 13:14. Note with the com mand goes the power for healing. As they start going, in obedience to this command, leprousy disappears. Happy at the thought of being clean, Albert A. Young last week sold a fine herd b.ull to the Parkwell Dairy, of Omaha, which will be used to head their herd during the coming year. Pupils of the seventh and eighth grades of the Murray school were in Plattsmouth the first of the week, going to see the picture, "Paddy O'Day," which was the current at traction at the Cass theatre. Frank E Vallery, of Omaha, was a visitor in Murray Monday afternoon, coming down to look after business matters in connection with property interests he has here, and also en joying meeting many of his friends while here. Earl Terhune, the Murray barber, accompanied by the family, were at Humboldt last Sunday, where they spent the day visiting at the home of their respective parents, and en joyed their trip and visit, although it did threaten rain throughout most of the day. Mr. and Mrs. Dallas Young, of Plattsmouth, accompanied by their son, Cud, were in Murray Monday of this week, Mr. and Mrs. Young be ing guests at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Albert A. Young and Bud look ing after some business for the T. J. O'Brien Auto company of Omaha, for which he works. tions, which made the suffering most intense. Since being taken to the hospital, he is reported as resting easier, but is still in a very serious condition. Visiting in Iowa and Dakota Mr. and I.Irs. Bart Wagner, who were engaged in the restaurant busi ness in Murray during the past win ter, disposing of the business some time ago to Mr. Hathaway, departed early Tuesday morning for Fort Dodge, Iowa, where they expect to visit at the home of a brother of Mr. Wagner for a short time. From there they will go to Hidden Timber, South Dakota, where they formerly resided, to look after some business matters pertaining to the farm they own there.

He keeps not on going to their hands to w elcome him into the j the priest, which would mean in his region of pain. One of the hardest things in life is to "forgive." "If the brother sin," rebuke him, reprove, censure. "If he repent, forgive him." Forgivness is based on repentance. "If he repent" deserves an underlining. "Here is (something that is often forgotten in the sickly, sentimental sphere of Christian ethics which flows fluent ly from foolish tongues. To have for givness without repentance would cheapen the holp gift, until it be came despisable; it would demoralize society and dethrone the holiness of case to go to Mount Gerizim, becausa he was a Samaritan, but returns to Jesus, who had not left the place, falling at his feet and saying "Thank you!" Gratitude is so rare that even Jesus was astonished that only one in ten would pay his bill in grati tude. The Samaritans have put the Jews to shame many times. - See the Sa maritan women at the well at Sychar (John 3). The founder of hospitals was a Samaritan (Luke 11).
