Its 00 inhabitants are hopeful that under the guidance of their new beneX factor the town will soon grow by leaps and bounds. Mrs. Clodfelter outlined an ambitious program - for the town’s welfare and already the lethargy that has kept it in a rut these many years has been broken by the spell Of new -activity. Elected as Mayoress. In recognition of her services thus far, townspeople held a meeting and elected Mi’s. Clodfelter mayoress.

Contradictory testimony of false witnesses (vv. 53-59).

(1) “What is it that these witness against Thee?” To this Jesus was silent, shotting that no evidence had yet been given worthy of an answer. (2) “Aft thou the Christ?” To this Ht* definitely replied. “I am,” and quoted a Scripture passage which' they recognized as referring, to the Messiah. This claim they an swered with buffeting and the most shameful treatment. III. Peter Denies His Lord (vv. 60-72). Though Peter loved Jesus, yet in the hour £f-supreme trial lie failed.

He is a strong advocate of farm relief, has fought for the McNary- keeps, and townspeople pitched in to help carry out her plans. Mrs. Clodfelter plans to \ build a Haugen hill, and is a champion of the large tourist hotel, some tourist cab- protective tariff.
