has presented to President Wilson,
President-elect Harding, and to all
members of congress. Probably never
before in the history of the country
has such an army Of orators been
modified to speak at the same time
upon single text.
The Legion aims to present to the
people of the United States the facts
regarding the disabled in the same
language as they were presented to
the officials of the government The
Legion's memorial was carried to the
President at the White House by John
Thomas Taylor, vice chairman of the
Legion National Legislative commit
tee. National Commander f. w. Gal
braith, Jr., gave it to Senator Harding
at Marion, where he had a long and
important conference on the disabled
situation with the next President.
The Legion denounces the present
method of caring for the disabled as
q failure which only can be rem
edied by the entire reconstruction of
the federal machinery dealing with
the problem.
Lie luHCllOuS VI Tic lLItC
which deal with the problems of the
disabled, the bureau of war risk in
surance, the federal board for voca-
tional education, and the United
States public health service, must be
cO-Ordinated, their machinery decen-
tralized and all three placed under
common CONTROL" the memorial states.
AS an equally essential remedy for
existing conditions, the memorial
urges the immediate appropriation for
the use of the unified organization
of a sum ample to build or rent
sufficient number of hospitals to take
care of the 5000 ex-service men who
are unable to receive treatment at
present because of lack of beds and
shelter.
The failure of the government to
afford justice to the sick and wounded
veterans is attributed by the Legion
to IAN astonishing state of divided re-
sponsibility and wasted effort among
the government agencies with which
the problem rests"
The break in the chain of RESPONSE
bility occurs, according to the me-
mortal, as a result of the fact that

United States has been more liberal
than any other nation in it's provisions
for the disabled soldiers, but that it has
failed in large measure to make these
provisions available in spite of the
benefit of the experience of other
nations in the recent war and the ex-
perience of this nation in previous
wars.
"In the rehabilitation of a disabled
man there are three needs-medical
treatment, vocational training and
financial support" the memorial
states. "The government has recog-
nized the three needs, but overlooks
the fact that they are the simultane-
Gus needs of one man, not Of three
different times. 1t makes three prob
lens out of what really is one problem.
Continuing this faulty conception,
it has given the problem over to three
agencies. All, by force of circumstan-
ces, are exercising functions they were
not intended to exercise. This pre-
sents an amazing spectacle Of admin
istrative chaos, duplication, wasted en-
ergy and conflict, which is the key
to the present condition.
1.-The result is the suffering OF the
disabled veterans. Thousands are
waiting and have waited for months
for compensation for their injuries
Thousands have waited for months
for an opportunity to re-establish
themselves as self-sustaining members
of society by vocational training
Thousands are in need of hospitaliza
ton. and the government has no hos
pital facilities available for them. Oh

THE RICH MAN AND LAZARUS

What would Amos say now if he
was to return and behold the ingrat-
itude, the voluptuousness, the stub
bornness, the hypocricy, the covetous-
ness, the oppression of the poor, the
sweat shop, the child labor, the under
paid sales girls, the slums, the false
weights and balances, the callousness,
heedlessness and the hard-heartedness,
the moral wrongs and social miseries
of vast numbers Of people? We do
not know what Amos would say, but
we do know what Jesus said. In the
parable ofthe Rich man and Lazarus
he wildly teaches that it is better to
be one of Gods rich poor men than to
be on of the DEVILS poor rich men.
The condition of the good man under
the most wretched earthly circum-
stances is infinitely better than the
state Of the bad man under the most
favorable circumstances. The rich
man of the parable did not stone the
beggar off the premises, he did not set
the dogs on him, he did not abuse
him. He simply ignored him. Just
as in New York recently while a ball
costing $4,000 was in progress at
Delmonicoes, out on the curb stone
shivered woman with dead baby in
her arms, starved and frozen to death.
The rich man of the parable was
simply a well-fed, well-clothed, well
housed animal And if he saw the
beggar at all, the slight made no more
impression on his mind than if he had
been a dog. Sympathy for suffering
never crossed the Threshold of his
door. No wonder he went to hell.
Let us be fair however, Christ does
not say that all rich men are like that
No! There are many rich men who
are the most generous supporters of
all that is beneficent; their purse
strings are always loose; their names
are written in heaven. This earth
would be chaos if it were not for SO
many great and conscientious rich
men. But there is always danger
that when riches increase men will set
their hearts upon them, and dry up
the fountain of sympathy in the
soul. The poor we shall ALWAYS have
with US. There will always be the
need of the helping hand.
There are three practical lessons fo,
the times in this scripture viz
l. Sensuous self-indulgence al
ways suffers visible Judgment.
III. Sensuous self-indulgence al
ways hardens the heart.
III. Sensuous self-indulgence san,
the. strength of conscience.
