Mr. and Mrs. Watson and son Bible School Sunday, December 24tli "The Child and the Kingdom" j Matt. 1:18-25; 18:1-6; 19:13-15. In this beautiful study of child life, we begin with the birth of Jesus; which teaches the doctrine of the Incarnation and virgin birth one of the great sections of the foun dation of our Christian faith. Then on the other hand, there is Christ's teaching about our own need of child likeness; this is not doctrinal, but Very practical. While Luke is very explicit of the details of the birth of Christ, Matthew gives us incidents of great importance that Luke omit ted. For instance, the thoughts of Joseph, when he found his betrothed to be with child, what he intended to do, and how God sent an angel to enlighten him. Then the flight into Egypt and return; also the visit of the Magi. Mary had not told Joseph of the visit of an angel, telling her that she was to be the mother of the Son of God; the conception by the overshadowing of the Holy Ghost is and always will be a mystery, too deep to comprehend by any human mind; but the fact remains that Jesus had no human father. This Matthew tells us from Joseph's stand point, and Luke tells it from Mary's standpoint. But Joseph, being a just man, believes God, marries this vir gin and names the child Jesus. The virgin birth, the Jews never believ ed, but said some one seduced Mary. They also said his disciples stole Jesus' body out of the grave. While this mystery is denied by many, even by ministers of the gos pel, it is nevertheless true, whether it can be explained or not. And for that matter, neither can conversion be explained that is an experience. Nicodemus, a scholar, could not un derstand, but millions testify to the fact and their transformed lives all go to prove it. It took a God-man to redeem the world. That is a fundamental doc trine of the church. Without such a redeemer, there is no salvation, nor a Christian church. We l ave this doctrinal fact of the virgin birth of Jesus and go to the practical part of childlikeness. The Christian life is a glorified childhood a transfigured childhood. Like children, we believe without suspicion, love without distinction, hope without limitation; and to gether with this the spirit of grace gives to our faith light, to our love wisdom, to our hope everlasting foundation. A man walking along a street met a little boy, who was sick and hun gry; going to him he inquired about James of Grant. Nebr., came Sunday to visit Mrs. Watson's sister, Mrs. Nancy Streight and other relatives. They returned to their home Mon day. Marvel Skinner of Alvo was a week end visitor with Florence Nel son and family. Tuesday they accom panied Donald Skinner to Lincoln, where they completed their Christ mas shopping.

Knecht drove to Lincoln Sunday evening, taking Bill Rosencrans back to resume his stud ies at the University of Nebraska. He will return home Wednesday of this week for the annual Christmas vacation, which begins December 20 and continues for two weeks. Bazaar a Grand Success The Friendly Circle held its an nual bazaar on Friday, December 8 The playlet, "In May, with June' was enjoyed by all. ' Due to the wonderful co-operation of every committee and the loyal patronage of the visitors, the bazaar was indeed a success. Roy Sohl, with No. 196, was the winner of the fine quilt that was given away. The club ladies take this means of thanking all present for helping make the bazaar a success. HERE FROM LINCOLN From Tuesday's Dalij- William J. Streight, long time resi dent here, who has been living at Lincoln for the past several weeks was in the city today to spend a few hours with the old friends. Mr. Streight is making his home with his daughter and son-in-law, Mr and Mrs. Evi Spier at Lincoln, but still enjoys meeting the old friends of many years standing. Lesson Study! By L. Neitzel, Murdock, Neb. his sadness; the boy said he was waiting for God. This touched the man's heart, and on further ques tioning the little boy said that God had taken his father to heaven, and his little brother, then his mother, and when his mother was about to be called of God, she told him that God would take care of him, and his mother had neiver told him a lie, so now he was waiting for God to come and take care of him. The man said, "God has come to take care of you, just come with me." The boy said, "I knew God would take care of me, for my mother never told me a lie, but you were so long coming." That is the faith and trust of a child. "Who then is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?" The idea of the disciples, of an earthly kingdom, to which they passionately held, Jesus had to remove from their mind, and "bring them to see and realize that their conception of the kingdom was wrong. To do this in a very prac tical way, he called a little child, (see how readily the child comes to the friend of children), puts it in the circle of the disciples and taught them the needed lesson, say ing, "Except ye turn and become as little children, ye shall in no wise lenter into the kingdom of heaven." That upset their idea of greatness of the kinfrdom of heaven. The child knew no such a thing as great ness. If Christ had meant that we should be like children in humility, in obedience, in teachableness, in in difference to the distinctions of rank and wealth; if any of these are near the truth, it is probably the last. What Jesus here meant is the abso lute dependence of infants and so with God's children ... all must be done for them, and they in turn should trust God. The sacredness of childhood is seen in 18:6. Woe unto them that hinder or tempt or cause them to stumble God will deal 'with them; they are dear to him as the apple of his eye. The lesson ends with a beautiful scene . . . Mothers bringing their children to Jesus to lay his hand on them. The disciples would stop the interruption of the Master's teaching; but see Jesus showing his! love for childhood. Give Jesus the child and he has the adult. Why wait until the best years are wasted, why not let him have thewhole life? How much easier it is for a child to believe and trust, than the older! And he says: "They that seek me early (in life) shall fine me." Bless ed childhood! Fine Christmas Programs on Air Station KOIL Premises Fine Array of Entertainment for Week, Cli maxed on Christmas Day The ringing of bells and the sing ing of Christmas carols proclaim a happy Yuletide in the United States, drowning out the sound of war be yond the seas. KOIL has combed through the programs for the "pick" of the offerings, with the result that the Omaha station is presenting a full week of outstanding entertain ment. Last Sunday brought some very fine numbers, running from early in the forenoon until late at night. Mon day and Tuesday evenings witnessed the broadcast of other Christmas week highlights over the National network. Tonight Nebraska's Midland col lege choir will be heard at 7:15 and Thursday night the Broad street Presbyterian choir at 6:15. The crescendo of the Christmas celebration will be reached on Sun day, December 24. The highlight then will be Presi dent Roosevelt's annual Christmas greeting to the nation as he lights the National Community Tree in Washington. This will be heard over KOIL from 4 o'clock to 4:30 Sunday afternoon. This will mark the sev enth time that Mr. Roosevelt has officiated at this ceremony more than any other president. Mrs. Roose velt and other members of the First Family will accompany him. Many communities throughout the nation start their own observance of the holiday season at the instant the president presses the button lighting the tree in the capital. Earlier the same afternoon, at 12:45, National Commander Ray mond Kelly of the American Legion will send his Yuletide message over KOIL to the. World War veterans of this territory and those in the hospitals. Another outstanding highlight of Sunday, December 24, will be a special broadcast of sacred music by the singing members of the famous Bach choir from the festival city of Bethlehem, Pa., part of its world famous Christian observance. The program from the "Christmas city of the United States" will be heard over KOIL at 1:30 o'clock. Bethle hem, Pa., was settled on Christmas eve, 1741, by a small band of Morav ians. Thousands journey there each year to commemorate the founding of the city's birth. The New York Philharmonic Sym phony, to be heard Sunday at three o'clock, will feature the noted Jaro- mir Weinberger's "Christmas." The Yule program would not be complete without Charles Dickens' immortal "A Christmas Carol," so this will be heard over KOIL on De cember 2 4. at 7 p. m. Lionel Barry more, who endeared himself in the role once before, will again play the part of "Ebenezer Scrooge." And another top KOIL feature of the day will be the Sunday Evening Hour. It will mark the second ap pearance of the season of the grand contralto, Marian Anderson, with the Detroit Symphony. Miss Ander son's first number will be "O Thou that Tellest" from Handel's inspiring "Messiah."

Radke Holds that Bryan Has Right to Make F iling Status as a Member of Democratic Party Not Disturbed by In dependent Race. F. C. Radke, former attorney for the banking department, who was one of the appointees of Charles W. Bryan, when the latter was governor, said Tuesday that there is no point to the challenge filed by George W. Olson with the secretary of state against acceptance of the Bryan for congress petition because he ran as an independent candidate for gover nor in 1938. Mr. Radke quotes the statute, which reads: " 'An elector of a political party must be one who generally supports the candidates of the party with which he affiliates and the person proposed as a candidate must be an elector of the political party named n the application.' "The record is ample to prove that Charles W. Bryan has always gener ally supported the candidates of the democratic party and that with the sole exception of governor, he did so n 1938; and that he has never been affiliated with any other party. He has been a registered democrat for mere than 30 years. "The fact that Charles W. Bryan was not the candidate for the state democratic organization for gover nor in 1938 did not cause him to cease to be a democrat. To run for effice independently does .not signny abandonment of one political party or affiliation with another party un less the candidate changes his party NOTICE OF ADMINISTRATION In the County Court of Cass Coun ty, Nebraska.
