statements OF DIR. John Wesley Hill,
yesterday afternoon, at the Majestic
Theatre. in the opening meeting of
Law Enforcement Week"
Describing himself as a "religio-
political preacher" he said that those
tics and their religion thereby evil
dence that they haven't any religion
to mix. Patriotism is the religion of
the soil. piety that Of the soul, and
politics should represent both and be
recognized by preachers and teachers.
The tendency OF ministers is to pow
the skies instead of striking the share
into the hard-pan of reality; to cult
vate the clouds instead of the clouds.
Asking. rhetorically. the question
what does Uncle Sam look lilte?" he
said the answer lies in every mans
looking glass; that the people en-
force the laws. and get the govern
ment they desire and deserve.

audience estimated at $50. Rev.
