Verse 2-Is there any evidence,
and II so what is it, which indicates
that God, in past ages, has revealed
himself to other peoples than those OF
Jewish origin?
Give your own idea of this star
that the wise men saw, which indi-
Gated to them that Jewish king had
been born; was it objective or only
subjective?
Were the wise men right in their
opinion, that Jesus was the King OF
the Jews as they were in the fact
of his birth?
Verse 3--What Is the evidence for
or against the idea that it was Gods
original intention for Jesus to be the
literal King of the Jews, as the wise
men stated, and as Herod feared?
Why should Herod and "all Jerusa-
lem" be troubled at the announce
ment of the birth Of Jewish King?
Verses 4-6-What prophet is here
referred to, and where in the Bible
did these priests and scribes quote
from?
Did the prophet they quoted from,
and did these priests and scribes
think that the expected Christ was to
be an earthly King? Why?
Verse What Is 1t wi1icn makes
diligent study, of worthy subject,
either noble or ignoble?
Verse 8How would you describe
man with the motive of Hcrod,
when he sent these wise men Oft on
their mission of finding Jesus?
What, If any, reason is there to be-
lieve that there are those today who
attend church, and thus pretend they
are earnestly seeking Jesus. who have
practically the same motive as Ierod
had?
|. Verse 9-If a man today would see
the Christ, what star" docs he need
to follow to be sure Of being led to
him?
Give your reason Cor your idea
whether it is to the favored few only
that God sends star. or its equiv
alent, pointing to where Jesus may he
found, or are all men similarly treat
ed?
Verse 1O-Meuti,, some, things
which always produce jOy, and then
describe that which produces the
greatest JOY to mOrtals known" This
question must be answered in writing
by members of the club.
Verse 11-What is the ground for
certainty for the statement that those
who really seek Jesus always find
him?
What are the emotions which are
stirred, the motives which are formed
and the deeds which are done by
everyone who really seeks and finds
Jesus?
Verse 12--Is there any liability
that those who live in the presence
of Jesus. will ever be duped into be-
itraying Him or his cause?

WORKED BLUE BOOK GRAFT IN
FREMONT COUNTY

j. Bruce Murray, the blue Bool
CRATER" worked the farmers of Ere
mont county before coming here. HI
also worked a little extra graft on {
newly married couple in that county
which is thus related by the St. An
thony News.
1T is reported number of people
in this vicinity took advantage OF thu
opportunity to buy publicity at sew
eral times it's market value as offer
ed by Mr.. Murray when he worked
this territory some weeks since. TX
date we have heard no complain
from these people, SO it is to be pre-
sumed that they are satisfied will
their bargains.
"But it was at the Meservy wed
ding reception at Milford that Muir
ray acquired local fame as thor
ough-going CRATER without scruple o.
conscience. Murray, 1t appears, wen
to the reception with some local PEG
Pile. BY one of the local contingent
who should have shown better judg
ment, Murray was introduced to Mr.
and Mrs. Meservy and represented
himself as the Boise correspondent
of the Associated Press. For $40 ant
a couple of photographs he woult
have the pictures and write-up O
the newly welded pair printed in thu
newspapers. Mr.. Meservy, whose
knowledge of "grafters" is limited
and whose respect for the Associated
Press was high, yielded up the $1(
and procured the two pictures
"Since then he has been watching
the newspapers. But there Is moth
ing doing, and won't be until some
one causes Murray's arrest for OBJ
tanning money under false pretenses
If people when approached by
these travelling fakirs with unusua
propositions would phone to the
nearest newspapers they might bt

No state in the west is attracting
any better class of newcomers than
Idaho, and it is becoming understood
that while her advantages have not
been as widely advertised to the
world as those of some of her sister
states, they are of a character that
appeals strongly to the right kind Of
men-those who investigate thor
oughly before venturing and become
permanent citizens when located.
They are of the class who build up
great commonwealth and the evid-
ence of what they are doing is APP

The directors are making a special
effort this year for a big corn show in
addition to the regular agricultural
exhibits. The premiums for county
exhibits are large and will more thar
pay the expense of getting together
