t THE PLATTSMOUTH, NEBRASKA, SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL PAGE TWO Thursday, November 11, 1948 WEEKLY BIBLE COMMENT Prophets of Israel Have Moral Message BY WILLIAM E. GILROY. D. D. TV" HAT of the past, present, and future? .'iio:ij p'most oil peoples there have 'se men, soothsayers, magicians, who pro fessed to have an unci nny knowl edge of events and an insight Into the future. But the prophets rf Israel are unique in history in place that they occupied in the-ii. of the nation and in their char acter of courage, firmness and in tegrity. ( ' The threats of kings or the vio lence of their enemies never dis suaded them from their p;pose er turned them from their task of cjcrlaring the judgments of God ; gainst tyranny and .iniquity. Who were these prophets and that exactly was their role? They were many, as we can see from various references in the Old Tes tament. But the prophecies of only 12 "Minor Prophets,'' and a few "Major Prophets," have come "down to us. 'PHE "Minor Prophets" were, not minor in the sense of being inferior in character, courage or forcefulness to the "Major Proph ctt " but only in the fact that their prophecies and their careers were ch) a lesser scale. Also, here and there we have glimpses in the pfiges of the Old, Testament of prophets of whom we have no re corded writings, but whose in tegrity and morel courage revealed the hign quality of the prophetic c'flicc liicn Hkc Nathan, who. re OUR CHURCHES 1 EVANGELICAL UNITED BRETHREN Rev.

The Hebrew prophets had con victions, and they suffered for. their convictions and their words. Bui they never flinched, or com promised the word of God. What, then, was their role? Two views, sometimes, conflicting, pre vail. In the one view these He brew prophets were foretellers, predicting events to come, reach ing even far down into the future. In their prophecies many have seen a plan of the ages, though the plan has not always been the same. The end of the world has been predicted again and again on the supposed evidence of the prophets, but the world still stands. The "key" to the prophecies is an uncertain thing. In the other view the prophets were forthtellersv speaking to their times, with their prophecies to be interpreted in the light of those times, and the events that were faeppening. For my own part I believe thai there is truth in both these con ceptions. The prophets could see the hand of doom where evil reigned. They foretold dire hap penings, but they gave glorious visions of God's pr.rposrs. Whether in foretelling or in forihtelling. it is the moral qualities of vision and of judgment thil dominate all. We read the prophets in vain -unless we get their moral message FIRST LUTHERAN CHURCH "The Church of the Lutheran Hour" Cleo Kautsch, Pastor 9:30 a. m., worship with Holy Communion. 10:30 a. m., Sunday school. A smart aleck said to a little girl, "Why, thcre've been dozens of Christs; how can you be sure that your Christ is the real one?" "Oh, that's easy," replied the yoangster, "I believe in the One who arose from the dead." There is only One who ever did tnat.

Give Tulips Time to Grow For Flowers This Winter Tulips and daffodils, can be flowered in the home when planted in pots, in what the florists call "good potting soil." Two parts of your best top garden soil, one part sand and one part of peat moss will make a good substitute. Add more sand if the top soil is heavy, thoroughly mix and run through a z-nch. mesh screen. Place each bulb so that its point is half an inch below the surface. Now it is necessary to allow the bulb to make roots; and for this purpose the pot must be placed in a dark and cool place, where it cannot freeze or dry out too much. A cold frame, where it can be covered with leaves, ashes or sand, will do. When placed in this storage the pot should be thoroughly soaked, and no further watering should be necessary. If stored in an indoor cellar or closet the soil should be prevented from drying out exces sively. Root action will follow and when top growth begins the pot may be brought indoors or kept in the storage place and so retarded until wanted. After being brought indoors the pot must be given all the light pos sible and kept in a temperature which averages 60 degrees until stems, leaves and flower buds are formed. After buds are formed a temperature of 70 degrees will WESLEY AN METHODIST Rev. Arnold L. Nabholz, pastor 925 South Tenth 10:00 a.m. Sunday School. 11:00 a.m. Morning Worship. 7:00 p.

(Contents do not neespniily express the opin ions of this newKpaDer.) For the umpty 9:h time a man wandering around on Winter stein Hill pulled to the curb and inquired of me where he could find a certain street address. Well at first it puzzled me but knowing the town as I do hay ing lived here over a quarter of a century and by some strange co-incident it seems Plattsmouth has an odd way cf numbering their streets, with odd and even numbers on both sides of the street. Of course we old timers know our way around and pay little attention to numbers as long as we know the man who resides there. But it must be a real down right headache for the stranger who don't understand our way of numbering streets. To put it bluntly as socn as a stranger leaves Main street, he runs head cn into a dead end and gets lost. Now I am not telling anyone how to run a town but just won dering, is it because we live on the other side of the tracks that we don't rate, even a street number of name for our sreets? numbered. Time was not so long ago that You knew they are named and in other parts of town the streets got all dressed up with new white posts and brightly painted numbers, also the name cf tha street. But they never got across the tracks. Even Living ston Road had its face lifted and a large sign was erected at the viaduct which could be seen quite some distance ahead, but these and many ethers are fast disappearing. These improve ments were quKe an asset to cur city in as much as it gave the newcomer or traveler the im pression that we were interest ed in the appearance of our city.

We have never complained much about this situation up here, although almost every res ident owns his property and lives in it, minds his own bus iness, pays taxes and gets a raw deal when it comes to street im provement, and to me it doesn't seem out of reason when we suggest that cur street is badly in need of suitable markers and correct numbering for our houses. Now I know there are many people who have at sometime cr ether contemplated writing just such a letter but didn't want to be the one to stick his neck out, and did as I have done, waited fcr someone ehe ta make the break, I even went as far sev eral times to write but when the fire cooled they landed in the waste basket. I am pretty much of a feller to mind my own bus iness and always willing to head the wanderer in the right direction, but I reckon the corn ers cf my mouth would turn up a little and maybe give out with a little chuckle if I could look out of my windows SDine day and see a new shiny street sign on my corner, and I am sure 4 X m Baby Pictures And Weddings Our Specialty Printing & Developing Cameras & Supplies CHRISWISER STUDIOS Dial 226 421 Main St. Plattsmouth PHONE No. 289 there are many others who would clamber all over the place to give the City Dads a pat on the back if they were in formed that they had an honest-to-goodness house number after all these years cf guessing (What's mv number).

Only by each of us working assiduously to prevent an other war - working to build an everlasting Peace - can we pay them deserving tribute.
