(Lesson Luke 23:33 to 4G, inclusive). We are approaching the close of this "Devine Drama." We were with Jesu3 in the Garden; we witnessed his arrest; we went with him to the sanhedrin; then the painful ,act of , Peter's denial; the blindfolding) the striking his face; being spit tupon; the buffeting and the mockery. It is the break of day. The multi tude led him to Pontius Pilate, after the Sanhedrin had found him guilty of blasphemy, because Jesus declared himself the Son of God, which was punishable by death. This charge did not concern any civil court; so they bring a three-fold accusation against him, which the court must investi gate: (a) perverting the nation; (b) forbidding paying tribute to Ceasar, and (c) claiming to be a king. Only Luke brings us this information. These charges differ from those be fore the sanhedrin. There they were: (1) Jesu3 would destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days; (2) the claim that he was the promised Messiah the Son of God. On these charges he was found guilty and con demned to death (But the Jews had no power over life or death, hence they go to Pilate's court). Pilate, an illegitimately born child of the family of Ponti in Spain, about 4 B. C, had much trouble with the Jews, because he tried to put images of Caesar in the temple. (Against this sacrilege the Jews appealed to Rome, and were sustained). Pilate knew the Jews, knew that they en vied Jesus because the masses be lieved in and followed him. The trial before Pilate was a farce. Pilate in the four Gospels ask3 eight different questions of Jesus and Pis different questions of the Jews. Pilate declared Jesus innocent not guilty. We omit the trial before King Herod the murdered of John the Baptist. At last Pilate grants the Jews' re quest to have Jesus crucified. They - had called his blood upon them, which curse came forty years later. Jesus is turned over to his tormen tors, he is scourged by them, crown ed with thorns, mocked, spit upon and finally led away to Golgatha. An act of mercy was shown Jesus on the way, the placing of his cross upon Simon of Cyrene; not that Jesus was unable to carry it, as some try to make us believe, (lie was able, without human aid, to carry out the redemptive work.) At last, he is nailed to the cross. Pon't you feel the hammer blows? ."The hand that was nailed to the cross of woe, Jn, love reaches down to the world below; DEPARTS TOR COLORADO From Wednesday's Dally This morning S. S. Gooding de parted for Brush, Colorado, where he will spend a short time visiting with relatives and old friends in that vicinity, later going to Chappel, Ne braska, where he has relatives.

Neitzel, Murdock, Neb. 'Tis beckoning now to the souls that roam. And pointing the way to the heavenly home." In thi3 exalted position, Jesus is still the high priest, in his interces sory prayer, his great compassionate heart call3 on his father for mercy upon those who crucified him and upon them that caused it to be done. We behold the first convert in the new kingdom: "Lord, remember me!" "Today thou shalt be with me in Paradise." Thirty years before a prophetic word was spoken (Luke 2:35) which is about to be falfilled. The mother beholden her Son tortured, Jesus would spare further agony: "Wom an, behold thy son!" (John). "Be hold thy mother." John leads her away to his home and returns, but the mother did not see her son die. The zero hour has struck it is twelve high noon darkness sets in for three hours silence and dark ness. It i3 the extremity to which the Christ is subjected in his suffer ing that is Avhat every soul experi ences before the word of pardon comes from God. Now the silence is broken; it is three o'clock. "My God, my God (not Father), why har.t thou forsaken me?" O, the loneli ness! That is the cry of God's child ren as they pass from darkness to light from the power of the evil one into the glorious liberty of the children of God. The agony is heightened by thirst. Nothing passed his lips since he left the upper room. Another act of mercy is shown by his executioners. They gave him a drink. At last the task is over. "It is finished," a tri umphant shout from the dying Sav iour's lips hell is conquered the price for our redemption is paid in full. What a relief. The suspense, the agony is ended. "Father, into thy hands, I commend my spirit." Hallelujah! The darkness disappears, the Father's smile is upon his Son. The Father is well , pleased with his beloved son an eternal redemption is wrought hell is trembling Chri3t is King! Heaven and earth rejoices; the price for the world's re demption is paid and accepted who soever will may come and take of the water of life freely. "Thou (Christ) wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by the blood." "And the people stood beholding" a tortured, bleeding, suffering, cruel ly handled, helpless human being. "Man of sorrow" what a name For the Son of God who came Ruined sinners to reclaim! Hallelujah! What a Saviour! When he comes our glorious King, All his ransomed home to bring. Then anew this song we'll sing: Hallelujah! What a Saviour! M urray Earl Merritt has purchased a new Pontiac car from L. D. Grosser, the Murray distributor. Dr. and Mrs. R. W. Tyson and lit tle daughter were guests last Sun day at the home of his parents in Elmwood. J. D. Kelsey and wife, of Shenan doah were here last week to attend the funeral of Mrs. Henry C. Long, which was held Friday afternoon. The new floor covering is now in place in Dr. R. W. Tyson's newly redecorated office, making it most at tractive and the equal of any large city office. Mrs. Bertha Shrader, daughter of Mrs. Henry C. Long, was here during the last illness of the mother and aided her sister, Mrs. George Nickles, in the care of the mother. Chester Shrader and wife, of Om aha, who were here during the ill ness of his grandmother, Mrs. Henry C. Long, remained for the funeral, which was held Friday afternoon. The Nehawka kittenball team was in Murray Sunday afternoon for a game with the Murray team. The game was one sided and .resulted in a victory for Murray by the score of 13 to 0. Earl Merritt, who has been paint ing the Presbyterian parsonage pre paratory to the return of Rev. E. G. Sloan and his new wife the latter part of this week, has the work about completed. Earl Lancaster was in Omaha with some twenty head of fat cattle he had been feeding during the spring and summer. The cattle were deliv ered to the market by Frank Mrasek, who was accompanied by Earl. W. F. Evers, superintendent of the Nebraska Masonic Home at Platts mouth, was a visitor in Murray last Monday, looking after some business matters here and visiting his friends, George Nickles and Tom Nelson. Mr. and Mrs. Chester Sporer en tertained for dinner last Sunday at their home, William Sporer, father of Chester, as well as Charles Sporer, a brother, and Mrs. Bronson, house keeper at the Sporer home in Mur ray. Mrs. V. E. Perry and daughter of Brule were visiting with Grandmoth er Catherine Perry last Sunday. They will also visit at Elmwood before re turning to their home in the western part of the state the latter part of this week. Charles Leydig, now residing in Murray planned to 3fo'to his home at Glade, Kansas, when he received word that his wife had given birth to a 7-pound baby boy and that all were getting along nicely, so post poned his trip for the present. L. M. Hauptmann, superintendent of the Alvo schools, and wife, stopped in Murray for a visit at the home of Mrs. Hauptmann's sister, Mrs. G. E. Brubacher and family, while en route home from Iowa City, where they had been spending a week on busi ness. The Murray kittenball team was at Plattsmouth Monday night for a game under the floodlights. Their op ponents were Donat's Fallstaffs, one of the teams in the Plattsmouth kittenball league. The game went to the Plattsmouth team by a score of 29 to 8. Harrell Bryan, who some time ago joined the CCC and is located in a camp near Sioux City, was a guest of his friend, Van Allen, over the week end, both coming to Murray to spend the day Sunday at the home of the parents of Van and returning to their respective homes Sunday even ing. Elmer Webb was down from Platts mouth Sunday afternoon to bring a supply of Ak-Sar-Ben tickets to James Smith, director of the Murray Lewiston band, which accompanied the Cass county delegation to Mon day night's den show.

Earl Lan caster and Wife, and Raymond; Dan Hoschar and Family; Mr. and Mrs. Malvern Read; Mr. and Mrs. It. A. Noell and Miss Alice Dill. Program Well Attended A good crowd Mas on hand at the Christian church Sunday evening to witnes3 the annual Children's day program which wa3 sponsored by the Ladies Aid society and given by the Bible school students. A neat sum was realized, which, in accordiance with past custom, goes for the fur therance of mission work. To Attend Summer School Misses Catherine Long and Mildred Wilson, the latter a graduate from the Plattsmouth high school this year, went to Peru Sunday, where they have entered summer school at the state teachers' college. Miss Long is one of the teachers in the Murray schools, but Miss Wilson has no school as yet, although she is en deavoring to secure one for the com ing year. Attending Summer School Miss Lola Davis, one of the teach ers of the Murray schools, on Tues day of this week went to Lincoln, where she entered summer school at the University of Nebraska seeking to better prepare herself for her du ties as a teacher. While she is one of the very finest of teachers, popular alike with both pupils and patrons, she is always attempting to better equip herself to carry on in the teaching profession. Proved a Great Success The Daily Vacation Bible School, which was held this year under the joint sponsorship of the Presbyterian and Christian churches, was a de cided success, with a large enroll ment and much interest shown in the work. Miss Lola Davis of the Presbyterian Sunday school and Mrs. Loyd Shubert, wife of the pastor of the Christian church, were in charge and proved themselves very adept teachers, with much of the credit for the line success made of the under taking due to their efforts. Visited in Murray Sunday Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Waggoner, of Diller, where they are engaged in the hardware business, while on their way to Omaha stopped in Murray last Sunday a-tid visited for a portion of the day with their old time friend, Thomas Nelson. They are the own ers of the hardware store which was owned by Mr. Nelson some 31 years ago and was sold by him to the Wag goners in 190C First Free Picture Show The first free picture show of the current season in Murray, was held last Saturday night and was enjoyed by a large audience of townspeople and folks from the surrounding countryside. The free movies are to be an entertainment feature here throughout tJ'tu miner on Saturday nights, the' same as for the past sev eral years. ; i , Mrs. W. G. Boedeker Poorly Mrs. W. G. Boedeker, who has been in poor health for some time, was taken to Omaha Monday by the hus band, entering the Methodist hospital there for observation and treatment. Her friends are all hoping she may be able to return home in a short time, well and strong again. Worshipped Together Prior to the departure of the Rev. Sloan, pastor of the local Presbyter ian church for the east, where he was to be married the fore part of this week, arrangements were made with Rev. Loyd Shubert, pastor of the Christian church, for the congrega tion of the Presbyterian church to worship with the members of the Christian church, which they did and which we think i3 a very line custom. Another example of the fine harmony prevailing is shown in the Daily Va cation Bible school, which sessions were divided equally between the two churches. Lost Movement of Watch Miss Mildred Allen, who was work ing in the NoiTolk packing plant at Plattsmouth during the recent rush of work, there and who was wearing her wrist watch while at work, had the misfortune to lose the works out of the case in some maimer. The loss was discovered as only the case and crystal remained on her arm, and al though diligent search was made, the missing works could not be found. She made $1.50 for her work and was out some $15 on the lost watch, which was far from being a profit able experience. Attended Ak-Sar-Ben Show James Smith and a large number of the members of his new Murray Lewiston band, which has been re hearsing for some time, accompanied the large Cass county delegation to the Ak-Sar-Ben den show in Omaha Monday night and entertained the crowd as they gathered in the large Ak-Sar-Ben coliseum, from 7:15 to eight, when the main show started. Mr. Smith ha3 the band performing most credibly and their numbers re ceived much applause, especially one or two Of the specialty numbers. Cass county night is always a big night at Ak-Sar-Ben den shows, and this year was certainly no exception, with the demand for tickets greater than ever before. Home from the South Mrs. Dove Ac:he, who has been in the south, returned last week and Mr. and Mrs. Earl Merritt went over to the Asche home last Sunday to spend the day and enjoy a very fine dinner. They talked much about the trip of Mrs. Asche to the south, as she had been a guest at the home of relatives of Mr. Merrit while there, the same place at which Mr. and Mrs. Merrit had visited last summer, in Memphis, Tennessee. Mrs. Asche brought two souvenirs for Mr. and Mrs. Merritt, sent to them by relatives in the south. Enjoy Family Dinner Today. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Schlictemeier are entertaining the children and their families at the home on the farm. Mrs. May Cook of West Bend, Lack of Purpose in Life Chief Criticism Against Younger Generation of Today Majority of Young Women Find Degree Small Help in Obtaining Job; Marriage Is Still Favored Feminine "Career" ... Lot (.. (Editor's Note: This is the fourth and last of a series of four articles on the modern young woman, her philosophy and fu ture prospects). By MAURICE MERRYFIELD, International Illustrated Xews Feature Writer New York What was heralded a few years ago as a "new deal" for women, an emancipation of the sex, has proved to be little more than a shuffle of the old deck with the cards still stacked. Interviews with a school teacher, private secretary, librarian, clerk, stenographer, nurse, lawyer and chorus girl brought forth a universal agreement from each that she was dissatisfied with her job. And only one of these, a young lady with ambitions to be a singer, was actually trying to better herself in any way. Their complaint against their lot in the world of wage earners was based on two counts. Several, in cluding the clerk, teacher, stenog rapher and librarian, had had their jobs "thrust upon them." At least, they had taken positions which had been somewhat incompatible even at first, but which were the only open ings available. Several had been able to break into their preferred field, only to find their sex an obstacle in competing against men in business, law or med icine. Their various stories all tended to support the conclusion that women today have but slight chance to be come a success in business or the professions, notwithstanding a few notable exceptions. Our economic system, and the depression, account for most of the obstacles which con front them. College Degree Little Help Possibly an even greater handicap is the attitude of the young woman herself, as illustrated by the view point of a social worker who was interested in her job, liked her work Iowa, arrived last week and has been visiting with the parents since, Paul Schlictemeier and family of Scotts Bluff with the recent addition to the family of two twin boy babies, an outstanding feature, Ronald Schlicte meier, wife and son of Elmwood, which completed the family circle, made a happy family gathering to surround the dinner table at the home on the farm this noon day. Card of Thanks. We desire to express our sincere thanks to our friends and those of our dear mother, Mrs. H. C. Long, for every kindness extended during the recent illness and her passing, for the floral offerings, to the minister who spoke comforting words, those who sang at" the funeral. Mr. and Mrs. Geo. E. Nickles, Mrs. Bertha Shrader, Mr. and Mrs. Chester Shrad er, Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Kelsey. Persistency Is what counts most in advertising i JU.. y, Som re mod ern young women and was sufficiently interested to study for further advancement. "But do you intend to carry on indefinitely?" "Of course not," she laughed. "I intend to get married in time." In this avowal lies the key to why women, in one sense, are their own worst enemies when it comes to carv ing out a career. Most of them look on their job as a mere interlude and do not apply themselves with the interest and industry necessary to success in a highly tompetitive field. Three of those interviewed, all col lege graduates, had found that their degree was of little help in obtain ing a job, and had been forced to take a course in business school to qualify for jobs as typists or secre taries. Only one of this group, a librarian who had ambitions to become a con cert singer, thought that a career was a sufficient substitute for mar- j riage. Most of them were of the nnininn that snrinl wplfnrt. n-nrlr the greatest possibilities for women today. "I believe young women today have a different attitude than did those of the twenties," commented the pri vate secretary of a Cleveland adver tiser. There was much talk then of the 'new freedom' and the 'single standard.' While it is true that we are freer today, there isn't so much talk about careers and such. The feminist movement isn't as strong as it was ten years ago, and the young woman today is keener about having a home and children than trying to buck the depression." Modern Youth Lacks Purpose "What do you think is the princi pal criticism to be made of your sex and generation," the proprietor of a Chicago interior decorating shop was asked. "The lack of purpose in the exist ence of most young women today," she answered. "They lead rather aimless lives, follow no particular pattern, live, for the most part, from - i y j I START A GEOLOGY TOUR Fremont, Neb. With six dayd in the bad lands and Black Hills of South Dakota, five in Yellowstone national park and five in Glacier na tional park as itinerary highlights, 14 Midland college students and two professors left Monday on the fifth annual field geology trip sponsored by the college. The group will be gone 28 days, traveling 4,000 miles in Nebraska, South Dakota, Wyom ing, Montana and Canada. In the party are: Esther Johnson, Craig; James Weblemae, Fairbury; Adiade Nor- seen, Tekamah; Harry Lindquist, Mil dred Meyer and Edith Carlson, Oak land; Mary Tyrell, Blair; Clifton Hillegass, Rising City; Maurice Mill er, Davenport; William Petring, Ne braska City; Forest Johnson, Yula Tweedy, Marie Krohn and Esther Fuhlrodt, Fremont; E. M. Stahl, pro fessor of mathematics, and Gilbert Lueninghoener, professor of geology. A modern bride - & day to day, and allow their youth to be taken up with insignificant mat ters. Frankly, I don't know a girl of my acquaintance who is accomplish ing very much, or appears likely to do so." For numerous reasons, then, the unattached young woman of today seems rather a forlorn figure, wheth er she admits it or not. The modern economic system and the depression have combined to pile up overwhelming odds against the chances of her becoming a "career woman" in any adequate sense of the phrase. She has been forced to accept jobs, which, if not actually distasteful, oiler little chance for advancement or self-satisfaction. Many of them have been forced to sacrifice a con siderable share of their earnings to help their families. "Joy of Living" Lost Art? Not only do the- fail to really enjoy life, they have, in many cases. lost their capacity for living. They have drifted into casual habits, al lowed their ambitions and ideals to die a slow death, and, too often set tled into a rut of resigned accept ance. Two factors have lessened their chances of marrying to advantage. The ambitious youth finds his ener gies and financial reserve taxed by the depression . and inadequate to meet the responsibility of a home. The young man of today is also selfish in the respect that he prizes his independence and freedom to a greater extent than ever before, and prefers to live a bachelor instead of economizing as a husband. In a sense, the lot of the unat tached young woman between the age3 of 2G and 33 is worse than that of her motker when she was a girl. The young woman of today glimpses life on a wider horizon, has ' had pointed out to her more distant lands, but her desires have not been correspondingly matched by an in creased ability or determination to realize them.
