The Sunday School Lesson
SENIOR BEREAN,

Golden Textile not deceivel: God

The Lesson Explained. Verses 37-4l.-
True inwardneSs.
All who came in contact with Jesus
were impressed by his sense of the
seriousness Of life. He was also quit"
at home in every company, and tn"
transparent sincerity Of his character
was seen in treating all people as
equals. He visited in the homes Of tn"
rich as well as the poor; he associated
| with those who were honOred, like the
Pharisees. and with those who were
despised, like the publicans. "As he
| spake::' better, after he had spoken"
He was earnestly invited by a Phari-
see "to dine'-that is, to breakfast.
The purpose Of this invitation was to
show hospitality to a recognized teach
or. All the Pharisees were not bitter
toward Jesus. Some of them held him
in high honor. like .NicOdemus John
iii, II. His host was. however. sur
| prised because Jesus had not first
washed before sitting down to the
meal. The practice OF washing was
symbOlical of removing any detile-
ments, and the pharisees We're so
scrupulous about it that some Of them
went to the extreme Of washing be-
tween the courses Of q single meal. 1t
wa not because Jesus did not believe
in cleanliness. but it seemed to him
not necessary on this particular occa-
sion. If it was the morning meal it is
evident that he had already washed
before going out. "Make clean the
outside" Jesus at once went to the
point and showed the folly Of lhari-
sale customs, which made more Of APP
pearance than of the reality. What
good was it to wash the outside OF the
u or plate if the inside that held the
food was not clean? "IOur inward
part" In moral matters the heart
must first be pure, free Of ~'ravenlng
and wickedness." The Pharisees were
commonly guilty Of the sin of extor-
ton. and Jesus fearlessly smote their
evil deeds. Did not he?" 1t is one
Creator who made both the world OF
nature "without" and the world Of the
soul within" Both worlds should
therefore he kept consistently clean.

things that are within" (revision).

~ECRETARY JOHN B. FOSTER
of the Giants has completed the
~ schedule Of spring games for
both the first and second teams.
The regular team will play twenty-onc
games. while the second squad will
take a different route north and play
twenty-five exhibition games.
The Giant recruits are already begin
ming to assemble at Marlin Springs,
Tex, in charge of Scout Dick Kinsella.
The youngsters will be put through Il
rigid system of training, and before
March all the veterans who did not go
on the world trip will report at Mar
lin. The Giants who are on the world
tour will be back in New York on
March g., and, with Manager McGraw,
they will go to Texas to join the other
players.
1t is expected that the players who
have been on the tour will be in good
physical condition and will not need
much preliminary work. The training
camp will break up on March 10. On

fair about as clear as 4 tub of water

Public Acquisition of Telegraph
and Telephone a Question Of
Nation Wide I~nterest-Post-
master Generals Report In
Favor of the Plan ELECTS
Opinions From Promi.
nent Men.

@ONFRONTED by the possibility
OF government acquisition Of its
telegraph lines, the big combi-
nation Of line interests dissolv.
ed according to the needs Of the pub
Ike demands" it was announced. With
the severing Of the interests Of the
Western Union and Bell systems it
was thought by many that the post
master generals report on government
ownership of lines would lose consid-
cradle Of its force, but discussion still
persists, and leading men Of the day
have expressed themselves on the top
E as in favor Of or against it.
Government ownership Of wires is
by no means a recent innovation, as
the postmaster general makes plain in
his report. He expressed himself as
being convinced that "a study Of the
constitutional purposes Of the postal
establishment leads to the conviction
that the postotice department should
have control owe all means Of the
communication Of intelligence. The
first telegraph line in this country" he
said, was maintained and operated as
a part Of the postal service, and it is
to be regretted that congress saw fit
to relinquish this facility to private en-
teGprise. The monopolistic nature Of
the telegraph business makes it of Vi
ral Importance to the people that it be
conducted by unselhsh interests, and
this can be accomplished only through
government ownership.
Acted on In 1866.
1.-THE act Of July "a, 1866, providing
for the government acquisition Of the
telegraph lines upon payment Of an
appraised valuation" said MI. Burle-
son. land the act Of 1902 directing the
postmaster general to report to con-
gress the probable cost Of connecting Il
telegraph and telephone system with
the postal service by some feasible
plan are evidences Of the policy OF
the government ultimately to acquire
and operate these electrical means of
communication as postal facilities, as
is done by all the principal nations, the
United States alone excepted.
Every argument in favor Of the
government ownership Of telegraph
lines may be advanced with equal
logic and force in favor Of the govern.
ment ownership of telephone lines

Congressman Lewis Idea.

Representative David ]. Lewis of
Maryland, father OF the parcel post"
told the house in an exhaustive anal
ysis Of his proposal to have the ma
tion's telephone and telegraph lines
taken over and operated by the post
office department. His plan is to have
the government first W the tele-
phone lines of the country. operate
some Of the lines as telegraph lines
and have the government system COM
pete with the private telegraph com
panies at the outset in the same pro-
portion as the parcel post now COM
petes with the express companies.
Investigation discloses that our tel
egraphic rates are the highest among
twenty countries" said Mr.. Lewis.
'"The result Of these abnormal rates is
that we rank but ninth as telegraph
users"
There are approximately 100000
miles of these wires which Mr.. Lewis
thinks should be acquired for $780,
0OO, 900.
The Opposition.
But protests against acquisition have
been numerous. From the heads OF
the big telegraph companies even to
men outside Of financial circles entire
ly the controversy has found pro and
con champions. Bishop Thomas T..
Nicely Of the Methodist Episcopal
church. regarded as one Of the best
authorities in Methodism upon govern
ment affairs, ecclesiastical and other
wise, says that government owner
ship of public utilities is one Of the
greatest perils that confront US.
ut is not the business Of q govern
ment to undertake to do everything for
everybody" he says. "The suggestion
that the government should take on
troll Of the telephone and telegraph
companies is along that line. The gov
eminent has just as much right to as
sumo control Of all the newspapers OF
the country as it has to engage in the
telephone and telegraph business. If
the government 0 o charge Of every
business enterprise every worker would
be in the employ Of the government,
and the workers would be worse off
than they are at the present time
"Would Cost $4,000, ooo, 1000" Mackay.
Clarence II. Mackay, president Of the
Mackay companies, commenting on the
proposal. gives reasons for his opinion
that the plan was not feasible. The
most important among them are the
problems Of financing and organization.
Mr.. Mackay said:
Sin denominating the telegraph bust
ness as being 'monopolistic in its ma
ture' the postmaster general is mis-.
taken. II there ever has been more
| continuous, keen and even bitter com
