PAGE FOUR PLATTSMOUTH SEMI-WEEKLY JOUENA1 THURSDAY, APRIL 7, 1938. Weeping Water Wm. Asch was called to Platts mouth last Saturday to look after some business matters and was also visiting with friends. Mr. and Mrs. Virgil Sudduth and the children from near Murray were enjoying a visit at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Askew. M. R. Whitney and wife who have been residing in the east part of Weeping Water moved the first of this week to the Taylor property on the west side of town. Many of the membersof the Weep ing Water Woman's club were at Ne braska City Tuesday attending the district meeting, and were royally entertained with a fine program and dinner by the Nebraska City ladies. Earl Oldham last Tuesday was as sisting in the hauling of fodder for the Robert Baker dairy, they getting the feed in and stored before the rain, altho the wind in the morning was lather adverse to their making the best progress. Much Corn Moving. During the past and present week there has been much corn moving to market in the neighborhood of Weeping Water, not that the prices have been so attractive, but with the coming of spring and the nearing of the time for planting another crop and the need of some money, and not very much of a promise of advancing prices the farmer natural ly reasons that he had just as well get the corn off to market. Fred H. Gorder Some Better. Fred II. Gorder. former county commissioner who has been kept V his home for several months on ac count of poor health and having to have a special nurse, is reported as being much improved of late and evincing a desire to get out and go down town to see how affairs are going. His better judgment however was to remain home and secure all the good effects of the rest that his health might further be restored. Mr. Gorder has many friends living Bible School Sunday, April 10th "Finding Ourselves in Service" Mark S:27-39. Jesus had been by this time long enough before the public that the people should have formed an opin ion regarding his person, and judg ing by his acts, whether or not he was the expected Messiah. It is of the greatest importance what we be lieve because it influences our con duct in life. Therefor children must have correct training in our Sunday schools. It makes a great difference what we believe regarding our Lord and our Life. His conception of life is the only ultimately true one, and if we adopt it we find life, and if we reject it, we have no life; our confession of Christ or our being ashamed of Christ in this life will determine with finality our eternal destiny. On the way to the norther most part of Galilee, away from the tumult of the crowds, Jesus asks his disciples, who had been sent out to preach and mingled with the people, what the people thought of him. and who he might be. We hear noople say at times: "I don't care what people think or say about me." Not so, Jesus. He thought seriously about the influence his life had made upon the masses. He was much concerned if the people were so im pressed with his conduct that they could see the Son of God in him. By the answer he received, he must have been sadly disappointed no more than a great man (John the Baptist?) only a man who had power with God (Elijah?) a great prophet like Isaiah? No more? He was ALL of these and much more. Did Jesus ask this question for in formation? No, he knew the opin ions of men. But to solidify the disciples' opinion of him, to get a definite answer out of them and he got it. Peter, the spokesman, an swers for all: "Thou art the Christ." They at last were convinced in their minds, by what they had seen and heard, that he was the "annointed of God." Jesus is satisfied. Teach ers should insist, to get an answer from their classes, just as positive, and not be satisfied with a vague, uncertain answer; because our teach ing, if it has the true ring will pro duce just such an unqualified an swer. Our teaching must be posi tive, not uncertain. Why should the disciples not tell the fact? Prudence and wisdom dic tated the course; the disciples were not far enough advanced in their faith; it took the annointing of the Holy Spirit, a penticostal experience, as witnesses. all over the county who are very de sirous that he be restored to his for mer good health again. Student Develops Severe Headaches. Billie Whitney, 12, a student of the Weeping Water schools, is taking a layoff from hi3 school work as he continues to develop headaches when he has studied for a few hours and the remainder of the day . seems to be no good to him in his studies. Examination of his eyes developed nothing which could solve the prob lem and so he has been kept home for a number of days to see if the rest of his eyes would relieve the headaches. Visited at Omaha Sunday. Messrs. and Mesdames Ross Shields and Boyd Knox were visiting for the day Sunday at the home of friends in Omaha, and were also at tending the funeral, or cremation of the out-of-date automobiles which the automobile dealers had consign ed to oblivion in an effort to get rid of the older models. They were piled up in a huge pile, oil poured over them, and ignited. Some 15, 000 people witnessed the specacle, filling the street and parking on the hilltops. Variety Store to Open Soon. When the new variety store build ing was started, the date set for completion of the building and the stocking of the same, was Easter. Many thought that this would be im possible of accomplishment with all the work to be done clearing away the debris, erecting the new building and stocking the store, but it now seems that the date set will see the new store open for business. All of the workers, including Mr. and Mrs. Michelsen, have worked hard to realize this goal. After Half a Century. During the early part of the month of December in the year 1SS7, Weep ing Water with no means of fighting tires, a conflagration visited the fair city and wiped buildings from the same five business lots which was Lesson Study! By 1. Neitzel, Murdock, Neb. Now that the time was ripe to un fold the plan by which the world must be redeemed. Jesus had men tioned this plan before (see John 3: 14; 6:51; Matt. 10:3S), but now his instruction was to be precise and de tailed. A most interesting study would be our Lord's use of the word "MUST" with reference to himself. This is one of the most important of such declarations. (See Luke 2: 49). "The necessity is not of men's making, but of God's, for the cross is not man's hostility to Christ, but God's love to man." Alfred Plum- mer. Seventeen times Jesus says he must do this and the other thing. This is conclusive proof that there was no other way whereby man could be saved. See also Acts 4:12. The verb "rejected" means to reject, to throw away, after submitting to a test; like counterfeit or spurious coins. This was done by the highest Jewish authority the Sanhedrin. Feter took Jesus aside to remon strate with him, to gain his goal by some other easier way. Feter imi tates the devil in the temptation, to gain the whole world by just wor shipping him; hence Peter is called 'Satan." Having disposed of this matter, Jesus now calls the people together for instruction in cross bearing. Mistakenly, men call un usual suffering in life a cross, where as it is nearly always the result of some mistake that could have been avoided, using proper foresight. We sometimes suffer by the mistake of' others. That is not a cross in the way Jesus uses the word. He says, "follow me," referring to the teach ing in verse 31. The cross means martyrdom. "Come after me," "fol low me!" When these terms are properly understood, we know what cross-bearing means. Read Isaiah 53 and you will get a glimpse of the cross. There you find the "sufferintr servant" how he submits himself unqualified to the will of God with no word of complaint, no murmur ing. He knew he must pay the price in order to be crowned with Glory; thus he gave his life to find it again. We must follow his example. The material world i3 not to be compared with eternal life; the unspeakable riches in Christ Jesus are promised them that follow Jesus; only the Holy Spirit can reveal unto us what God has prepared for men. "Were the whole realm of nature mine That were an offering far too Email. ' Love so amazins. eo devine Demands my soul." then looked upon as such a calamity, and which it was, but the people of Weeping Water then went to work rebuilding. Year followed year, and after nearly fifty-one years another fiend of flame wiped out the same five buildings, and now this gener ation like that of more than a half century ago is faced with the restor ation of the fair city again. One new building is now completed and is to be occupied the coming week. Others will follow and this gener ation will surely accomplish what the sturdy citizenry did fifty-one years ago. The hindrances which pre sent themselves will be overcome by the people of today and Weeping Water, like Chicago in 1S71 will be come a bigger and better city not withstanding the great loss the fire entailed. Records Were Burned. C. II. Gibson, whose store was burned in the recent fire, lost all of his records, and had a small for tune outstanding on his books. Mr. Gibson purchased another grocery store and is still engaged in busi ness in Weeping Water and serving the people. Many who knew them selves indebted to Mr. and Mrs. Gib son have come forward and paid their bills as well as they could with the records burned. Present Excellent Entertainment. The University of Nebraska glee club was in Weeping Water Tuesday of this week and presented a most thoroughly enjoyed program of mu sic. The entertainment was given at the parlors of the Congregational church which was filled to comfort able capacity. Fed Ninety Hungry Women. The Woman's Missionary society of Weeping Water entertained many of the grand officers of the state as sociation and also those of the eight midwestern states represented here. The main address was delivered by Mrs. John C. Stoval, who brought a message of encouragement to mem bers of the different clubs and so cieties assembled. Mrs. M. I-:. Gilbert of Omaha, vice president of district No. 1, of the Methodist church, was also present. The ladies of Weeping Water fed some ninety of those in attendance. Brotherhood to Meet. The Brotherhood, which has ex tended its membership to include the men of the Congregational ' church as well as the Methodist, will meet at the parlors of the Methodist church the coming Monday evening. All interested are cordially welcome. Have Excellent New Business. When the fire which came to check the courage and business, sagacity of the people of Weeping Water and wiped out so many of the active and flourishing businesses of Weeping Water, it took among them the busines of Mr. Joyce and wife, and since they have been quiet ly going forward getting their new business house in working order. The new cafe has been completed. The writer visited the new business house on our last visit in Weeping Water and found it functioning and doing good work feeding the hungry. The place was opened last Saturday and has many modern appliances for the best serving of the public. Government Quarry Opened. The government quarry, which was semi-dormant during the winter weather, with the coming of warmer weather have started work again, and many have been put to work. This work has come with welcome not only to the men but to the mer chants who are highly pleased, as well as the general public.

MURRAY MAN TO HELP CORN GROWERS OF THIS SECTION Ivan De Les Dernier of Murray, local representative for the DeKalb Agricultural Association announced today that he had been able to secure an allotment of DeKalb hybrid seed corn to distriute to farmers in his locality under the most liberal terms ever made in the" hybrid seed corn industry. Mr. De Les Dernier stated that the DeKalb Agricultural Association has had under consideration for some time a plan that would' enable farm ers, particularly those in drouth stricken areas, to enjoy the advan tages of hybrid corn during 193S without having to make a heavy out lay of cash this spring for the pur chase of seed. The association's plan was finally completed and announced to Mr. De Les Dernier who was for tunate in securing a supply of the DeKalb seed corn in this territory. The plan as drawn up only requires a small initial down payment for the seed this spring with the balance to be paid in the fall out of the yield harvested In the fall. "This will be easy to do," stated Mr. De Les Der nier "because the yield of DeKalb hybrids over open-pollinated corn in the state yield trials in Nebraska last year was about S bushels to the acre. On this basis, using last season's crop for example, farmers should get an increase of 64 bushels of corn for every bushel of DeKalb hybrid seed they purchase." The supply of hybrid seed which they purchase will be here Friday and Saturday and will be avilable to the farmers of the community as long as it lasts. VISITING WITH RELATIVES Mrs. Frank E.
