WORTHY LIFE IS
BEST MONUMENT.
DECLARESPASTOR
Subject of Sermon Is Pre-
pairing for Your
Funeral

Declaring that "a good life is mans
best monument" Rev. W.. E. Cissna,
pastor of the w Washington ST. NJ
Z. Church, In a sermon Sunday on
Preparing For Your Funeral" urged
all to live so that when people view
you in the casket they will think of
your good deeds and not of your
meanness."
Many a man has died without
making a wall or making some dis
posal of his property Rev. Cissna
said. Law suits follow and the good
family spirit is broken and children
often become enemies and separated
for life. All business affairs should
be ready like a cashiers book for au-
ditor at any moment. Also every
man who believes in his church and
wishes it to continue should make
some provision for the same in the
disposal Of his property. 1t is the
greatest sin of a man 8 life TO be
wealthy and die and leave nothing
for the great benevolent causes OF
the church.
''No sadder sight is to be seen than
a widow and little children standing
around a casket, left destitute Every
man and especially a Christian man
should provide for his own in case
of his death. If he is without means
and property today there are many
kinds of insurance and brotherhood
help that may be secured which Will
not leave family at the mercy Of
society. For a man TO fail to do this
IS as the Word hath said, Denied the
faith and worse than an infl@el.' Also
man who has some property or bust
ness investment or little home par.
TALLY paid for should not leave it so
incumbered as to cause his loved
one to lose the same to his debtors.
Every man should carry enough in
surance TO cover all his liabilities.
Shows How One May
Escape the Fear of Death
Every man should try to live a
worthy life. so that he would not be
ashamed to die. 1t is certainly a dis
grace to society, 10 family and to
God for some men to live and die
as they do viii the community say
# is better off when you are gone?
viii your friends give q sigh OF re-.
lief when YOU are dead? VIII neigh
bcrs and lodge brothers send flowers

Greed and Love of Easy
Living Has Caused
Moral Breakdown.

By NEA Servtce
4 USTIN, Texas, Feb. 5.-Greed,
~ love of easy living and a
u breakdown OF moral fiber
have made perjury so dominant
factor in American courts that just
tice is entirely thwarted
That statement comes from Judge
John c. Townes, fifteen years dean
Of the law school Of the University
Of Texas and a lawyer. jurist,
writer and educator of Nationwide
reputation.
And so deadly In earnest is
TONNES that, despite his 10 years,
he has resigned his office as dean
and will go back to teaching so that
he viii be more intimately in touch
with law students-the lawyers and
judges Of the future.
BY this and by writing and lee
turing he hopes to do his bit to com
bat the menace he is convinced is
undermining American justice.
Justice Impossible"
ut Is almost impossible for courts
to render justice today" TONNES
says.
Time was when men preferred to
have their necks broken, rather
than to perjure themselves. Times
have changed.
1T IS a well-known fact without
testimony prosecution is impossible.
And when men and women perjure
themselves. coldly, calculatingly and
cieverly. truthful testimony IS I'm
possible TO get.
1T takes moral courage to tel
truth. and moral courage is griev.
ously lacking.
Love of easy living is causing
lawyers to abandon the ethics Of

brute might, It is hard for people
to recover their equilibrium.
Take the lawyer. If any man
should uphold the sovereignty Of
the constitutional Government, that
man is a lawyer. But, instead, many
lawyers have allowed themselves to
be hoodwinked into being the enc
mics of the courts and justice by
aIlying themselves with hooded
courts.
Property Rights Sacred
There is growing in this country
n feeling that the rights of property
are more sacred than the rights of
life and limb. In a recent decision
one Of the highest courts of the land
virtually declared that all such was
lawful and as it should be. 1t is
this feeling, evil and destructive,
that I hate and am going to fight
against.
I'VE need in our courtrooms, In
our public life and in our private
life more Of the rugged honesty
which was the priceless treasure of
the people thirty-tive years ago"
