Not a Fish Story

WEALTHY WIDOW BUYS
TOWN TO REVIVE IT
Now Its 50 Citizens Take
x New Lease on Life.
Ckirber, >Mo.—Mrs. Ada Cfodfelter,
wealbiy widow, is indeed mistress of
all she surveys.
Garber ^vas in the “dumps” until
Mrs. Clodfelte* came along and bought
the whole town, lock, stock, barrel and
everything. Her possessions Include
100 acres of ground on which are lo
cated the post oflice, railroad station,
a general store and a ^cluster* of
houses.
Now Garber lias a new grip o^ life.
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.
Then she made known her plans, to
inject some snap into the affairs of
this dozing, picturesque little settle
ment. She said she would build a
summer resort whose fame would
spread far and wide.
Once before Garber experienced the
thrill of notoriety. That was when
Harold—Boll Wriglrt cbose thrs ^cenlTr
settlement for the picturization of his
“Shepherd of the Hills.” One of his
principal characters was “Old Matt”
(J. K. Ross), postmaster, who also
operated the general store. But after
the first wave of popularity had
passed Garber settled back again and
dozed.

fend Him by resorting to. the sword,
but seeing that He made no attempt
at resistance they all tied. Their
courage failed them in the hour of
trial. How little man knows of his
own weakness until tlie crucial hour
comes.
II. Jesus Before the Sanhedrin (vv.
53-05).
1. Contradictory testimony of false
witnesses (vv. 53-59).
The elder pfiests arid ail the coun
cil sought for. witnesses against Jesus
to put Him to death, but they found
none because there was no unity of
" testimony. They accused Him of hav
ing declared that within three days
He woqhl build again the temple if it
were destroyed.
‘2. The high priest’s questions^ (vv.
00-05).
(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.
Grevious as his sin was, it was not
like that of Judas. Jtihs failure was

Senator Watson is said to be one ru ^* °*T she said she was
going to put, the town on the map.far
of the most grfted debaters in the Sen-
ate. He is a strong advocate of farm
relief, has fought for the McNary-

IV. Jesus Arraigned Before Pilate
(15:1-15).
In the early morning after the trial

Jesus and delivered Him to Dilate.
They acted freely in this according tfi
the evil desires of their own hearts.

termined counsel and foreknowledge

Cast Thyself at HU Feet
Tim fever of worldliness that burns
In tlie blood, the Ill-temper, the un
kindness, the impatience, the dreadful
malady of avarice that turns the heart
to stone, the dim vision of Himself,
tlie fretting fear, the foolish envy-
how loathsome in His sight is that-of
which we make so little! Cast thy
self at His feet until He make thee
clean!—Mark Guy Pearse.
Our Obedience
God wants work of us. He offers
His power to us if we will work with
Him. Greater deeds than have ever
been done do not wait upon His will
ingness but upon our obedience.—
Robert E. Speer.
Joy
“Joy is there if we will set our
selves to find it—joy in labor, joy In
love, joy in the beauty of earth
around us, joy that waits like a hidden
well to bubble up in hearts that are
open to it.”
No Sorrow Too Great
No sorrow" is foo great to endure
if it reveals to us some new beauty
in Christ, or brings out in us some
new feature of Christllkeness.—J. R
Miller. X . . X
