NEW TESTAMENT PERIOD.
DR.. w. T. Johnson was the frs
speaker and HIS subject covered tho
history of the Bap.'st Church in the
New Testament period. He said that
the history of the Baptist Church e
no. history of country, race. or
people but the history of vital
principle and can be traced by its
gospel practices. The record shows
that the Baptist Church's history can
always be traced by its insistence on
Cody life and the justification Of
the believer by faith in Christ.
DR.. Johnson said Baptist Church
history begins width the ushering in
of the new dispensation by the fear
less herald of Christ, John the Bap-
1'st. John came primarily to the
Jews and heralded Christ whose mis-.
sion was to all. The growth CT
Baptist principles can be clearly
traced through the Apostolic Church
the Roman prosecutions. the Refor-
nation and thence on Through the
centuries up to-date.
DR.. Johnson enumerated six rri"-
piles of the Bapi list Church he's
inviolate even today. which wee
firmly encysted n the New Testament

The Unknown Purple
At Dittmann Today

2 a
The Unknown Purple" which will
be shown at the Dittmann Theatre, COM
mencing today is an adaptation of the
sensationally successful stage play of
the same name by Roland West. After
playing a solid year on Broadway, New
York. it was seen in the principal cities
of the country during two succeeding
seasons.
The theme Is one of mystery, center
ing about a purple ray Of Light in which
a human being can make himself in
visible TO the eye. The possessor of
this remarkable secret is. lii inventor,
played by Henry &. Walthall, whose
wife has betrayed his trust in her and
whose best friend has stolen all he
possessed and sen him to prison on q
false charge. UnrecogniZed By those
who betrayed him, the inventor 1e-
turns after his prison term, and with
the aid Of the weird power of making
himself invisible, which he possesses,
proceeds to take n justified vengeance
upon them. This story is told IN g
| thrilling, gripping sequence OF events
different in type and portrayal than
| any which the motion picture has yet
shown.

o77 ,990-is practically the same as for
the present year.
1t was in the Veterans Bureau esti-
mate that the Budget Director made his
biggest cut under the figures submitted
a year ago. A net total of $79,000,O00
was Topped of, in spite Of increases in
some departments Of the Bureaus ac-
t~ivities. The factors which more than
offset these increases included a drop
from $89, 000, 900 for vocational re-
hab .litation, due to the decreasing ne
cess.ty for giving vocational training
to men Wounded in the war; a reduction
from $127, s0o,0GG set ASIDE a\year g
for possible use in bonus payments, to
$G2, eco, goo which the Budget Director
estimated would be sufficient to carry
the payments through next year il APP
plications continue to come in at their
present slow rate; and a $1,000, 900 re-
duction in the amount set ASIDE for hos
pital construction.
Treasury Reductions
The Treasury Departn.aIs reduction
Of $lG,8l0,00G Under he total for the
present year was largely accounted Tor
by the fact that tax refunds amounting
to $16,140,000, resulting from the 25
per cent reduction voted by congress at
The last session, were included n the
expenditures Of the current year and
no ike item was necessary in the new
budget. The Coast Guard allotment
was increased by 81, G50, 0G0, as a part
Of the drive against rum %runners. while
the total given the Customs Service was
cut SIP, 000-a reduction declared by
the Budget Director to be due TO de-
creased activities and an estimated fall
ing off in refunds
Included III the factors contributing
to the Shipping Boards reduction Of
Sc, 1000, 900 were enumerated improved
methods Of operation, together with
the consol. dation, eurtailment and re-
duction in the number of trade routes,
and an improvement in freight rates.
The Budget Bureau informed the
president in it's report that the net in
crease of $50, 000, 00G in the amount set
aside for the Agriculture Department
was "du primarily to an increase from
$13, 900 900 to $50, 10000 for the con

More thar half Of the s2,2S8 eco in
crease in the allowance for he justice
department was accounted for by a de-
cision TO more Thar triple tire amount
set aside for the Investigation and
prosecution of war frauds" The war
item in the budget for the present year
amounted to but $500. 900, but in the
new budget it is $1,725, 900. The amount
set aside for enforcement of antitrust
laws was increased from $203,930 to
S228,000.
A net increase Of $23, 900, 0G0 also was
, shown for the Post Office Department,
but the whole expenditure Of that de-
partment is expected to be returned to
the treasury, along with a surplus, as
a result Of postal revenues. IN theory
the ncstal service always is regarded in
the budget as self supporting. although
it has not always been so in fact. The
