There are many in Omaha today

There are hundreds OF young men here
who have been drawn away from the
church into which they were baptized by
the aIlurements. the unhealthful Ceduc-
lions OF this city,

The bishop took as his text that verse
which tells OF Joseph OF Aramithea and
Nicodemus coming to take the body of
Jesus from the cross and bury u.
Both OF these men had been followers
Of Jesus" said the bishop. but each was
ashamed or afraid to acknowledge Him
before the world. Joseph worshipped
Him secretly because OF fear OF the Jews
and Nicodemus came to Him by night.
under cover Of the darkness. Both men
were aristocrats and both were members
Of Che Ssnhedrim.
Their fear TO acknowledge Christ
openly made them moral towards. The
most pitiable object in the world is the
man who is not true 10 his convictions.
'on the other, hand the coming OF these
two men TO take away the body of Christ
was the most courageous act in the his
tory of the world. The whole world was
against Christ at that time. Even his
disciples had fled. These two men had
everything to lose from showing adher-
ence 70 him. Yet they came, the one to
give the body burial in his own private
tomb and the other bringing valuable
spices for embalming II. Both overcamo
their cownrdice and were far better men
for It.
