form in the existing finances of Po-
land has been announced by FL
nance Minister Jastrzebski.
His program includes a monetary
REIMBURSEMENT to be effected in frCm

The time has arrived, NJ. Jastrzeb-
ski declares, for the establishment
Of Polish national currency. The
unit is to be the zloty The treas
ury has at its disposal 100000, 000
gold francs for this purpose, and
also $50 900, 900 gold francs for in.
dustriaf aid.
The minister's tax program in

Despite the many difficulties

Norwich bulletin., 1922-03-17


Rev. Roberts A. Seilhamer, rector of
St Paul's church, Pawtucket, was the
preacher Thursday evening at Trinity
Episcopal church at the united Lenten
service, delivering a searching sermon to
the good sized congregation that came to
hear him.
He asked his hearers to contemplate
the sins that crucified Jesus Christ and
see whether we do not have a part and
parcel in that tragedy of Calvary. The
four proximate causes for the crucifixiol,
he said, were the envy of the I'harisees,
the avarice of Judas the SANDER of the
multitude, and the servility of PLATE. If
we are guilty of any of these we should
abhor them the more because they are
the sins that killed Jesus. The envy of
the Pharisees first delivered Him up
With centuries Of tradition behind them
and plenty Of conceit within them, the
Pharisees occupied the places of honor
in the land. Then came the lowIy Naz
srepe preaching divine forgiveness even
TO the common people and the common
people heard Him gladly. So He was
likely to supersede the Pharisees and
their envy delivered. Him up. How do
we guard against this sin in our own
lives? If you have enough of the love of
God in your heart you are above all
envy.
Then came the money owing Judas
No man need be ashamed of the ambition
to make money, provided the means will
stand scrutiny and its use will be under
God. But how will your methods stand
the test of Christian stewardship? The
money-lover can't see Christ
The SANDER of the multitude made up
the accusation against Jesus Slander
and malicious gossip is the retail end of
the devils business Have we ever re-
peated an uninvestigated charge again st
somebody? Allowed prejudices to color
our conduct? Given a bad Interpretation
! to acts and words when they might be
susceptible of good Interpretation? Rash
" spoken harsh judgment? Remember
that James warns ~ against allowing a
certain little member to become unman-
ageable. -
Then there was the servil:Ih of PLATE.
who knew in his heart that Jez is did not
deserve death, but he was anxious to
please the people. and he released to
them Barabbas. What a large propor-
ton of our sins are done to satisfy the
crowd. The young man gets into fast
company and hasn't the courage to say
no So many persons go on risking their
own souls bcause they want to content
others We fail often IN our duty TO COD.
to self and the church by this spirit Of
servility. We need more of the spirit
of courage and independence. It is far
better to satisfy the eternal judge than a
few earthly spirits you know. Let us
then take an honest look within to see
where we have a part in that crucifxion
and strive to have the better part of the
two Mary's sorrow in the crucifixion Of
their Lord and Master.
