11 THE PLATTSMOUTH, NEBRASKA, SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL PAGE TWO Thursday, April 7, 1949 A 4 IB Jesus' Perean Ministry. Lesson for April 10: Mark 10: . J.?-7ff, 35-40. Memory Selection: Mark 10:35. The scenes of tcday"s lesson were In Perea, a region northeast of Je rusalem, beyond the Jordan river. Two familiar incidents of the Lord's ministry comprise the lesson. The first is that of the blessing of the children. It was an hour when Je.vus used children to teach the dis ciplesof the place of children in the kingdom, and of the childlike qualities and the humility we must have to gain entrance into the king dom of God. Parents who are head ing toward the divorce courts should read again r.bout Jesus blessing the children. And society and church should learn mere and mere of the value of the children of the present. The second incident of the lesson s'iows the designing spirit that often besets men who would follow Jesus. James and John came to Jesus i prompted, as another Gospel writer tel.'s u.-, by their mother) seeking chief places in the Lord's "glory" to sit one on His right hand and another on His left. When Jesus asked if they were willing to pay the price, in sacrifice and suffering, they replied that they were ready. Jesus told them they would indeed share In His sufferings, but to sit on His rieht hand and on Hi3 left were not His to give. A sure way to lose all high privi leges in the kingdom of Gcd is to seek them. The only way to gain high place in the Lord's service is to forget it in serving. Ycu must lose your life if ycu would save it. The greac are those who forget themselves into immortality. Give your all to Jesus, as knowing you will be saie and happy in His love.

"Are Sin, Disease and Death Real?" is the subject of the Lesson-Sermon which will be read in Christian Science Churches throughout the world on Sunday, April 10, 1919. The Golden Text is: "Bless the Lord. O my soul, and forget not all his benefits; who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; who recleemeth thy life from destruction." (Psalms 103: 2-4 . Other Bible citations include: "And. behold, there was a woman which had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed together, and could in no wise lift up herself. And when Jesus saw her. he called her to him, and said unto her. Woman, thou art loosed from thine in firmity. And he laid his hands on her; and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God." (Luke 13. 11, 12. 13). The Lesson-Sermon also in cludes the following passage from the Christian Science text book, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy: "If sickness is true or the idea of Truth, you cannot STARTING AT 7 P.

Then classify sickness and error as our Master did, when he spoke of the sick, 'whom Satan hath bound,' and find a sovereign antidote for error in the life-giving power of Truth acting on human belief, a power which opens the prison cioors to such as are bound, and sets the captive free physically and morally."

Palestine had its "Death Val ley," a deep, dark gorge, full of thorns and thistles, infested with creeping poisonous reptiles. It meant death to the sheep if they entered that valley alone. The shepherd would clear a path with his rod and staff, be fore which the creeping reptiles would flee. The sheep then pass ed single file in safety to the green meadows beyond. For the Christian, death has lost its venomous sting, be cause Christ, our Good Shep herd, has gone down into the REX YOUNG Auctioneer r ' "tninTrt 4WMCT- Mrr-'; P R LYZED VETS VISIT CAPITOL ON CAGE TOUR s . .

When You Think cf SHOES Think of X-RAY FITTING GAPII0L NEWS Lincoln, Nebr. A modified plan for jacking up the method of leasing Nebraska's 1,600,000 acres of state-owned land should be ready for discussion by the legislature as a whole by April 15th. Sen. Ray Babcock, Sidney, has until then to submit amend ments to a bill calling for the outright sale of the land as current leases expire. Babcock has fought hard against this proposal, which he says is unfair to tenants, Who, rightly or wrongly, believed they had perpetual leases to be handed down from generation to generation. Many expensive improvements have been made, he argued, and few tenants couid afford to buy the land they lease. His amendments are intended to correct current malpractices of lease holders admitted by botlx him and friends of Sen. Clyde Cretsinger's Paxton bill to sell the land. Babcock said his amendments will forbid non-residents of Nebraska from holding leases, and require the state to be given at least one third of any profit made in selling a lease. Sen. Arthur Carmody, Tren ton, has asked that the amend ments also call for annual ap praisals of the land, and speci fy that leases shall be made only to persons who will farm it Cretsinger; Sen. Otto Phohs, Gering, and Norris Schroeder, Hoskins, are leading the fight for the sale bill, which provides that proceeds from the auctions shall be deposited in govern ment bonds. Cretsinger said that in addition to the sales price, the bonds would yield an annual income of $904,000, com pared to the $360,000-a-year produced by rent. In the hands of private own ers, he said, taxes alone would amount tor $348,000 a year. Gov. Val Peterson has signed into law the measure providing for two truck-weighing scales to be placed along Nebraska highways. The governor was not satisfied that this was the best answer to the problem of pro tecting roads from overloaded trucks. He preferred the meas ure in its original form, when no limit was set on the number of scales the highway depart ment could buy. Truckers were vigorous in op posing the plan. They argued it was a needless expense since the state could use grain eleva tor scales, that it was an un deserved slap at their business, and that the scales would do little if any good since truckers J could avoid them. The opposi ' tion spread among the law makers, and Sen. Dwight Bur ney, Hartington, offered to amend his bill to limit the num ber to two. There will be no change in present seepage laws, at least not for two years. The public works committee killed a bill which, as modified, would have extended to public power and irrigation districts the respon sibility now imposed on irriga tion districts. The latter are required to pro vide proper drainage for land within their areas, whereas pub lic power and irrigation dis tricts are held liable for one year's crop loss clue to breaks, overflow, and seepage. Fanners complained this damage allowance was inade quate. They said they would prefer to have the districts compelled to drain, so that their land could continue productive. The committee's action was a bitter disappointment to Schroeder. who considered his seepage bill "on? of the major corrective bills before the legis lature." Sen. Willard Wilson. Holdrege, one of two committee members voting against the indefinite postponment of the bill, said he thought the proposition "very fair." Teachers salaries will be pub lished monthly, if the education committee has its way. Over the protest of schoolmen from bcolia, Fairbury and Valley, the committee approved Prohs' bill calling for the publication in Burglars WHETHER from a burglar without or a thief from within, Residence Burglary and Theft Insurance will reimburse you for valuables stolen and damage caused to your property.

Tho school officials said this would "humiliate" teacher:;, lower morale, and discourug youngsters from entering the profession. Henry C. Jensen, Scotia sup erintendent, said teacher halar ies in small towns arc "com petitive," and that this leads to a "differential" between sal aries of high school teachers and those handling elementary grades. He indicated embarrass ment might result if the differ entials were publicized. "If any discrimination in sal aries is going on in our schools, the teachers are entitled to know," said Prohs. "I think per haps that's the secret of the opposition to this bill." The more water used in cook ing peeled potatoes, the more food value is lost.
