stands little chance of passing the House,
N saw nothing OF the Senate
The Republican leaders Of the House, re-
sardless of the attitude of the Democrats,
have mapped out a program of action that
calls for the defeat of the measure when II
comes up for its fret vote on second read
ing. The resolution. incidentally, Is being
held without explanation I'm the House Com
nittee on Constitutional Reform.
The House leaders are trying to prevent
the measure from reaching the Senate.
They figure that II II Is defeated in the
lower branch of the General Assembly.
Pennsylvanians will think that the will of
the people has been expressed while If it
masses the House and Is sent on to the
Senate to be defeated, the people of the
state will think that coalition of organlza-
tion leaders has defeated it.
Hence the program. When the measure
comes up for its first vote in the House,
avery effort will he exerted to defeat II, and
equal suffrage will have to wait seven years
from 1915, instead OF five before it is finally
decided.

people of today with the people at the
time of the birth of Christ He said there
were three classes--the shepherds to whom
was announced the birth of Christ. These
are the same as the Christians Of today
who possess religion and have no trouble
to live up to their religion; there are 9TH
ers. like Herod and his il<. who would do
all they could to hinder Christianity, and
still others who. like the people of Judea
at the time Of Christ, strive to do good and
lead Christian lives today. but they are
continually fighting for this attainment
"Lukewarm Christians" he said, can
he compared to such people Herod, who
do everything they can against Christianity
because they drag along with it, but do
