Bishop Johnson on
"PiOneer Influence"

"a democracy will last Just as long
az the ideals Of its people" declared
Ri. Rev. Irving P. Johnson, D. D..
bishop of Colorado, in his address on
the Influence Of the Pioneer" given
before the Kiwanis Club last evening
at the Augusta House.
in American character there IS q
factor that is best, not so much be-
cause it is a composite of varying
characteristics of different races but
because of the very fact that our an
cestors were pioneers" he continued.
In elucidation of this apparent anon
ally Bishop Johnson delineated the
chief characteristics of the pioneer as
earnestly. reverence Of higher things,
and simplicity.
I'VE need in these days of blocs and
mass government not more brains. not
more money nor more science" said
Bishop Johnson, but the essentials Of
the early pioneer. There is danger
I'VE are a nation of small great men,
due to cutting ourselves off from the
rest Of our fellow men The average
great captain of industry" Bishop
johnson pointed out, knows just two
things we'll: He knows credits and he
knows enough to get men who can run
his own business.
Let US have more men Of greater
moral character; men who dcspise a
lie and who are strong for the simple
home-spun virtues of the early pio-
neer," was the parting admonitlon
which the bishop left with his atten-
tive audience of 40 or more Kiwanians.

BISHOP JOHNSON DISCUSSES DIVINITY
OF CHRIST AND QUESTIONS OF HENRY
VIII FOUNDING MODERN ENGLISH CHURCH

Ihe second session of the preach
ing mission at which Bishop John
son OF Colorado is the speaker was
heid Thursday night at st. Marks
episcopal church. This service was
wen attended as was the first one
winch was held Wednesday even
ing.
MS instruction was on the Divinity
81 christ. In the instruction he en-
phaslzed three things. First, Chris
liaili'v Is based upon a religion that
preceded it by. two thousand years.
Inc essentials of the Hebrew reli-
Slon were were the unity and the
hollness OF God, the deadly character
OF sin, and the expectation of a Mes
slah' Christ fulfills the prophetic ut
terances of the Old Testament.
second, Christ is without any rival
among men In the perfection of his
manhood which has stood the critj-
CiSin OF twenty centuries. If one were
TO claim that the life of Christ was
tction. then the author of that
uctlon would be a greater dramatist
IMAM Shakespeare, for it Is lust as
hard to create perfect character in
hcton as it is to live a perfect life
among men.
Third. If God chooses to reveal
Himself to man, there would be no
way so effective as through human
nature itself. When st. John SAYS,
The Lord was made flesh and dwelt
among u.s." he predicted a truth-in
mat there Is nothing that human
need could ask of God that is not
found i'm Christ

Paper Consents to
Guilty Verdict

Boston. Oct. 1.-THE Boston Tran
script today consented to verdict OF
guilty in a complaint made against
it for refusing to print an advertise
ment of the minimum wage commits
sion.
The advertisement which the Tran
script refused to print on the ground
that it might involve the newspaper
in a libel suit, concerned certain en-
ployes who had failed to comply with
the commissions decree. The COM

it mandatory upon newspapers, to ac-
cept such notices for publication.

Criminal Court, before whom the case
was heard, will report it to the SUI
preme court, for determination by
that body as to the constitutionality

Thus although there were slight

Following the question box the
Bishop preached a sermon on the
incident of our Lord taking dinner

Thel essen that he read from the in

to Jesus Christ rather than TO the
observance of certain laws which the
PhariseeS kept very strictly.
