Ray Frans sent a greeting card to her old frie nd, Mrs. Forest Tracy, whom the older residents will recall as having or. 'e lived north of Union, before lo cating in the west some years ago. This year, however, there was no card from her friend, and Mrs. Frans won- dt. red why. Now, the question has bem answered in a letter received from her sister, Mrs. G. H. Gilmore. who is spending the winter at Long; jEeach, and who writes that Mrs. Tracy passed away a year ago, on i January 6, 1940. This will be news to many of the old friends of Mrs. !

In the study of scripture lessons, we should go back to the times in which they were inacted; they would be meaningless if we would apply modern procedure to them; and a modern application for our day and times is often a difficult thing. So it means a very hard and deep study to get at the kernel of the teaching of the lesson. Jesus readily mingled with all dif ferent classes of people; he was in the world, but not of the world. He was accused of being the friend of sinners and would eat with them. Sol should his followers do, but keep at I all times themselves unspotted by the world. We will never be able to save the world except we bring the light ,to them; bring help to the needy. Like the Samaritan, the drowning man needs a "life line" to save him. Jesus showed us by his example how it is done and not be contaminated with and from the world. The invitation to the Pharisee's house was not made in a friendly, neighborly spirit, but rather in a spirit of antagonism. When he came, "they watched him." Their hypocricy, which was proverbial, was shown Iie,e- Jesus I,lusl nave Deen very un' comfortable in their company; lie CUV tlirmiirVl tliciii cnlinnifi n-liU'li TLQa carry out their scheme. This is an- other proof that he knew what was in man; they could not deceive him, neither can we. He asks the question that con- found them. To us today that would readily be answered with "Yes," but not so by these Pharisees. They had a different construction of the Sab- bath law. While they went to one When our nation goes down it will be because of Sabbath desecration. It is a notorious fact that only 25 per cent of church members attend 'services on Sunday morning and only 10 per cent at the evening services. Where are the nine? Does only one iu ten give God his due? The golf courses, the movies, the highways all are crowded on Sunday . . . but) j the house of God is empty.

Palmater, father of Mrs. Fitzpatrick, at Green- Iwcod. one day last week. Laurence Askew's slice and harness rerair shop was closed the fere part of the week, as he was suffering from the flu and not able to work. Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Keckler were at Elmwood Tuesday afternoon, be- ng guests at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Greene. The ladies are sisters. James Miller and family, who re side on a farm near Douglas, were here Sunday for a visit at the home of Mr. Miller's father, Peter H. Mil ler, Sr. Miss Marjorie Moore returned to her school work at Peru Sunday af ter spending the holiday vacation at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. E. E. Moore. A number of members of the Weeping Water Masonic lodge plan ion going to Plattsmouth on riaay holiday vacation at home and enjoy ed meeting her many friends here.

No. not according to their interpretation; but common sense would have said "Yes," and that was Jesus' answer. He healed the sufferer and let him go he was not an invited guest. And then Jesus exposed their hy pocricy by proving to them that a human being was superior to an ani mal. And their silence was proof of their evil design on Jesus. Now Jesus teaches his host and us a lesson in humility, and here we must all hang cur heads in shame, for we are all more or less guilty, in inviting and feasting those who will sooner or later repay us. God's great feast is prepared for those who cannot repay him. But what cf the proud, who covet the best seat at the table, crowding others out or making them stand up. I think we find a few examples in the scriptures of what happened to the proud. Listen to a king in the Old Testament: "Is not this great Babylon that I have built for the house of the kingdom by the power of MY might" etc. Then observe what happens to him. See Dan. 4: 30-33. His name was Nebuchadnez zar. Now look in the New Testament. Acts 12:21-23. Herod thought he was somebody, glorifying himself. See what happened to him. Wormsjfr0m Nehawka, Elmwood, Syracuse ate him up while alive. What is there in man that he can boast of. There is no such a thing as a self-made man. If he has devel oped the God-given talents, and caught opportunity by the forelock and achieved success he has nothing to boast of, since it was God who gave him power to get wealth. (See Deut. S:1S). Humility is not a virtue acquired, jit is a gift as free as grace. It was pride that caused Lucifer to lose his principality, when he would not worship the Son of God; hence the warning in Psalm 2:10-12, and the admonition (Heb. 1:6): "Let all the angels of God worship him." Let us look at Paul's exhortation to the Philippians (2;6-S); if they had need to look at the example of Jesus for humility, how much more we, wno nave received much more J light and have lived in this enlight- ened age. In the kingdom of God, exaltation follows humiliation first the cross, then the crown, through death to life. Out of all the strife and struggle and turmoil emerges the personality as God would have it. "By the grace of God, I am what I am." St. Paul. PLATTSMOUTH SEMI - WEEKLY JOURNAL was away, has heen in poor health and ordered to remain home and rest by the family physician. She is im proving, as a result. Mr. and Mrs. Earl Oldham and Mr. and Mrs. Walter Little with the lat- ter's son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Leonard -Klemme of Elm wood, went to Omaha last Sunday to enjoy a sacred program.

Home from Rose Bowl According to radio reports, there were 27 Weeping Water people at the Rose Bowl game in Fasadena on New Years day. Most of them had re turned by Tuesday of this week and have lots to tell about the game, the crowds and their impressions of the west. The Journal man conversed with Art Wiles, who accompanied Richard Cole and the latter's parents, who are remaining there for the winter and gained some first hand information about the game. Art said 90,000 people constitute an enormous crowd .an(j that his seat was in the COth row, (high up above the playing field. As he was watching, just after Nebras ka's second touchdown, a commotion was noticed in the stands below him, and with the aid of a pair of binocu lars he was able to note that some cne was out and medical aid was being summoned. It later developed that this was V. P. Sheldon of Ne hawka. As for the game itself, Art says it was hard fought and kept the vast audience on their toes as sur prise plays were pulled by the Stan ford team, also when Nebraska was gaining. He said the Tournament of Roses parade was well worth making the trip to see. He had to go early in the morning in order to obtain stand ing space, and it seemed that every float was more beautiful than the one before. It required six hours and fifteen minutes for the parade to pass a fixed point. Masons Install Officers On Monday night the local Mason ic lodge held installation of officers for the coming year, and were pleas ed to have four brethren from Platts mouth present to assist with the installation ceremony. They were Raymond Cook, W. F. Evers, W. A. Robertson and Frank A. Cloidt. In addition there were guests present and other neighboring lodces. Ralph Dinger, of Lincoln, came to be one of those installed, as he is to be Senior Warden this year. Later he went to Plattsmouth and Omaha to transact business before returning to Lincoln. Gardner R. Binger, after complet ing a term as Worshipful Master, was appointed Tyler for the ensuing year in accordance with a custom of long standing in the local lodge, whereby the most exaulted officer steps down to the lowest one on the list. He has gone through all the chairs and been a faithful member of the fra ternity.
