become RICH
in EXPERIENCE
Know How to Choose Good,
Despise Evil, Says
Bishop Cook
PREPARE TO BE
FREE IN THINGS

Speaking on the subject, Grow
ing Freedom" taken from Corin-
thians. 1:13:2: When 1 was a child
spake as a child; understood as a
child; I thought as a child but
when I became a man l put away
childish things" Bishop Cook said
at the noon-day Lenten service in
St. Andrews Episcopal Church to-
day. THE intellectual equipment of
the child is simpleness; beautiful in
a child, but disastrous in a man or
woman. Life is not simple, but in
initely complex. What men and
women need is virtue based on ex-
perience, a virtue that knows both
evil and good, and how to despise
the evil and choose the good"
That life is only useful which is
rich in it's experiences. strong in
It's intellectual grasp. strong in It's
simplicity. but certainly not to sim
pleness" said the Bishop.
THE credullty in the child must
give place 10 the power of faith in
man or woman; a faith that in the
midst OF the perplexitles or mate
riallsm can still hold TO God.
The tragedy of many a life is that
It has carried the child-like things
into the years of maturity, the sim
pleness Of the child into a region
where nothing less than intelligence
of maturity will do The creed, as
we repeat It in childhood, comes. to
mean something so much more
when, as tried men and women, we
shall say, ~ believe In God, the
Father Almighty
And this is what makes for free
dom, these qualities Of maturity. II
is not the freedom that comes in
being free from things but the free
dom that comes from being free in
things. To be free from things Is
the freedom Of childhood. We seek
to shield the child from danger and
peril. They are TO be kept free
from danger hut that cannot go on.
We want them 10 court high ad-
venture. We want them TO go, II
right into the very heart
OF the battle-free not from dan
gers. but free in dangers.
we will guard them on the moral
side and keep them free from con-
facts with evil so long as is wise,
We don't want their minds polluted
nor their finer impulses dulled with
sordid things common to our lives.
But that time will pass. We cannot
do this Indefinitely We are but pre-
pairing them to be not free from
things but free in things. To go out
and face every kind of temptation
unafraid and strong. because virtue
Is their helmet and faith their shield.
They have learned freedom and
have put away childish things"
The Rev. Richard W. Trapnell,
rector OF ST. Andrews. assisted in
the services today. The speaker for
the finst three days of next week will
be Bishop William +. Mcdowell, OF
the Methodist Episcopal Church.
There will be no service tomorrow.

SALARY BONUS Is
TAXABLE BY u. S.

In an announcement today. u. S.
Collector of Internal Revenue John
w. Herring said that amounts re-
ceived as bonus by employees from
their employers during 1922 consti-
tute taxable income and should be
so reported. Many employees re-
ceive bonuses in the form Of Christ
mas presents from the company for
which they work and past exper-
fences indicates that they have not
reported these amounts for tax pur-
poses. This failure has resulted
in later Inconvenience when the tax
thereon Is collected.
Some local Industries maintain a
plan OF yearly bonus for deserving
employees based upon certain condi-
tions and contingencies. For cor
rect determination in such cases,
the bonus plan should be submitted
to the Office Of the collector for de-
Of taXabillty.
In the case of the bonus awarded
by the E. /. DUPONT de Nemours &
decision has been made
by the commissioner to the effect
that such award is taxable in the
year in which II is credited to the
employees account. This decision has
the correction of many
returns in the local office, and many
more remain to be corrected for the
past few years. Collector Herring
stated that regardless OF whether or
not the correction OF returns for
1918. 1919, 1920 and 1921 had been
&C mpleted. bonus should be reported
in the 1922 return In the amount in
which credited by the company to
the employees account. The neces-
sary adjustment resulting from this
decision are being effected as fast as
practicable, he stated, and will be
completed shortly.
