CHRIsTs MOVING. PICTURES
By Rev. Felix J. o'Neill
Copyright 1921

Copyright 1921 More pictures in the pulpit, More people in the pews. Thus ran the flaming headline Across The Daily News. Old Grandpa dropped his paper He gave the desk a whack, He fiayed the modern preachers That jump the teaten track: No camera was needed To preach when Twas young. The clergy knew their Bible And taught it with their tongue! The only pictures Christ showed, To fill the pews sowell, g, Was one entitled HEAVEN, The other labelel HELL" 70 Lord!" sighed holy Grandma, ''What are we coming to? The church will be a dance-hall Before these men get through! It's terrible to think of!
 The people of today Must-t e amused and tickled Or else they'll stay away.
 God asks one day in seven, One hour of all that day. A stingy soul cant give Him One hour a week to pray? Eternity God gives us,
 And life. on earth sublime. A stingy soul can't give Him One hour a week of time!"> Both sat and rocked and pondered, Each in a quaint old chair. Each full of real devotion, A truly -pious pair. Then Grandpa took his Bit le While Grandma knitted socks ! Till Grandpa dropped his Bible | To give the clergy knocks: "Sometimes do not wonder That people stay away. Sheep don't walk to a hay-rack When shepherds show no hay! Some pulpits make the church pew A place to be amused. Some pulpits make the church pew A place to be abused! ''The blame on 10th is equal The pulpit and the pew For each one tries to do things Christ would not have them do. | When pew demands a circus, And pulpit plays the clown, To see lot of seats full, That church is running down! Christ offered men no chromos, No pictures or pink teas.
 No dinners, suppers, lunches,
 To bring folks to their knees! .-+ Oh yes,-He gave 8 smoke talk ITO pull the men'-frOm sin The fumes of fire and birthstone He said they'd swelter in!" Up spoke Granddaughter Mary, Just home from boarding school. She's awful smart!" the folks said, "So sweet, so calm, so coOl:"
 Dear Grandpa, please consider, And you will quickly find That every mental concept Is pictured on the mind.
 What cares the kindly Master If lens, or tongue, or pen
 Conveys the gospel message
 To minds and hearts of men? Christ always painted pictures OI IEuIuS k1O ModuS U stay s THE TROPICAL, THE SOWER, THE RICH MAN,--what are they" "I VOW! think you're right, May!" Laughed pious Grandpa Green. Christ flashed His truths eternal On life's immortal screen!"
 Grandma: Grandpa! The pastors tickets We threw away today Will come in mighty handy To see picture play.'

Philosophy of Life.

Instead of lamenfing and benOan- ing what seems to be cruel life, we cnn, if We have the right philosophy of life, find harmonior note iD the disagleeable environment from which we cannot at present eytricate our selves. As the oyster covers with pearl the irritating sand which has got in- to it's sllell- and makes of 1t a thing of beauty. so we, too, with kindliness, courage and good cheer, can convert the conditions which now seem un- thinkable to us into sunshine and gladness. -Orison Swett Marden.

GENERAL WOODS JOB.

TNHERE is work for General Wood to do Governor OF
the Philippines Recently the American Chamber OF
Commerce Manila L. cabled to its representative at
Washington TO give publicity to the fact that further
American investment in the Philippines is unadyisabe
until the political status OF the islands lxed terri
tory Of the United States"
Following this New York concern deprecated the an
thorzaton Of propaganda the United states against
American Investment OF capital in the Philippines and in
Justification OF It's attitude the American Chamber cabed
from Manila; Business protection is possible only in the
large business centers, Manila Cebu Iloio zamboansa
The provinces longer are available for American in
vestments business operation owing to lack OF pro-
tecton from political antagonsm TO American interests
generated during the Harrison administration which cause
territorial government would eradicate"
The Harrison referred is Francis Burton Harrison
appointed Governor Of the Philippines by the preceding
administration and who appears 10 have made almost as
bad mess Of 1t in those sands did his prototype in ad
mlnstering the affairs OF the nation
That patience and sound judgment which Wood nos
sesses vii be taxed TO the utmost restore anything like
cordial relationships between Americans who have been
engaged in legitimate enterprise in the Philippines and
the natives OF those islands When an Official sneers AT
and derdes his feowcountrymen in the presence OF in
erior people. those people invariably take the cue and
treat those ielow-countrymen with contumely
limitation is the slncerest nateryr Harrison indeed
should be proud.

TIE RIGHTS or OTHERS.

ssEvERY employer. every wase-wOrker must be
Il guaranteed his liberty and his right to do he
likes with his property his labor long he does not
infringe upon the rights OF hersTheodore Roosevelt
There have tersey stated economic policy that
viii meet the hearty approval OF majority of the
American people.
The only proper limitation upon one mans liberty OF
action is such limitation is necessary TO protect the
rights OF others
Laws are enacted properly limiting the right OF to
stand in groups on The sidewalks Of cities because such
groups interfere with The right OF other to traverse
the streets The right Of parents 10 let their children
into certain kinds OF employment under specified may
very properly limited such employment would in
terfere with the right OF every child TO healthy body
and mind.
The exercise OF free speech may and should be limited
by law when the character Of the speech calculated to
destroy the right OF other to live in security the
enjoyment OF their personal liberty and property.
But all these and other limitations upon the rights OF
individuals should be fixed by awspread upon the stat
ute books where citizen may read and know the ex
tent OF his liberty and the limitation placed thereon
In event should mans rights be subject TO The de-
termination Of other whose judgment may be preu-
diced or unsound
Except in rare cases OF national emergency the right
OF 10 work not to work. and his right to choose
his employment must not be nterfered with.
or in time Of war; the government for its pres
ervaton, has the right not only TO call ls cIens 10 ne
coors fight but the right to call them TO any labor
necessary to support the in the trenches.
One OF the great defects in conscrpon system was
The government exercised the power to send men to
the firing line against their will but did not exercise the
power to send to the shpyards the ammunition fac
tories and the farms.
There neither justice equality in forcing one
abeboded to to his death in France for $50 per
month while permitting equally abeboded man TO en-
JOY personal security while he pronteered at home
There justice in shooting the man who refused
to go the top when the command given and let
go scott free the who shirked the job in ship
yard.
But aside from great emergencies every employer and
every wageworker must be guaranteed his right TO do
as he likes with his labor or his property.
The door OF opportunity must be kept wide open for
the rai-spitier the nuedriver and the typesetter
change his occupation from time to time accordance
with his demonstration OF ability he has worked his
way up to the Presidency
The way must be kept open for the tpck-worker the

OF a railroad.
This door OF opportunity is not kept open II IL ues with

Editorial Opinion
THE DIsPLEAsED MIR. GoMpER,
From the New York Tribune.

From the New York Tribune.
Samuel Gompers is among the
few not pleased with the decision OF
the trainmen unions not to launch
their war offensive.
"The strike" says Mr.. Gompers.
will not take place-now, signih-
cantly pausing before emphasizing
the final word. SO in Mr.. Gompers's
view II is a shaky armistice we now
have, not a lasting peace.
From the railway unions come de-
mands for the abolition OF the Labor
Board. and hostility is declared in
advance TO any proposal looking to
creating a substitute with the Labor
Boards powers. In other words,
the railway unions want no arbitra-
tions. They still prefer ultimatums
and hold that might gives right.
on the other side the railroad ex-
ecutives indicate that they do not
understand they are forbidden to
apply under the law for further wage
cuts. Moreover, they do not under
stand they are foreclosed from pro-
testing against working rules which
unnecessarily add TO the cost of
transportation.
1t is time for the public to COM
plete its mental preparedness as to
two important matters: First, that
minorities shall not selfshly rule.
and. second. that increases in trans
portation costs. when they come,
are paid for by the public. A firm
establishment OF these simple truths
will prevent trouble.
Only a negligible few object to
the existence OF the railway unions.
But IL power has drifted to railway
unions they must not missVe it. The
Kaiser principle that it is the priyi-
lege of few to give orders which
It is the duty of all others to accept
has done enough damage for one
generation.

HOLDS HOUSE
Couldn't Move Yesterday
From Property Seized by
Alien Custodian
CASE AWAITS
COLONEL MILLER

PlilLADELPHIA,N Nov. 1.-"Well.
the wash mas to be done anyhow. /
haven't time to worry about any
thing else this morning."
That was Ma" Beredolrs attitude
on the ultimatum of Col. Thomas w.
Miller, of Delaware, Alien Property
Custodian that she must move out
of her castle" at Fifty-second street
and Wynnefeld avenue yesterday.
The fifteen days allowed her by Ma
jor Vincent A. Carroh, representative
of the custodian here. to make her
preparations for vacating the house
expired yesterday. The property was
part of that confiscated when Gro
yer, in whose name il stands, fed
to Germany after escaping military
prison.
Mrs. Bergdoli apparently didn't
have a thought in the worl6 about
the process OF eviction. She was
busy-very busy-washing blankets
with great energy.
For sale' signs, 10 feet by 5. are
in the garage ready to be hung on
the house. Mrs. Bergdoll has been
paying rent since the seizure. She
says the custodian is wrong in taking
the house as Growers property, be-
cause she bought IL, and although
1t is decided to Grover, he never paid
for IT.
Attaches OF the office OF Vincent
A. Carroll, assistant United States
attorney in charge Of the case, said
IL will not be known what will be
done until the return OF Carroll and
Colonel Miller from the American
Legion Convention at Kansas City.
