True religion may be expressed in
overalls and jumper as well as in
broadcloth or vestmenss."
yes that's about the way put it,"
said Rev. A. Francis Walch OF the
Winthrop street Universalist church
to a representative of the Kennebec
Journal at the close Of the morning
service yesterday. A large and inter-
ested congregation listened with keen
attention to a sermon on the topic,
Jesus. Leader of Men" and which
bristled with strong statements sug-
gested by the present widespread
controversy going on in the several OF
the great denominations.
Mr.. Walch insisted that the funda-
mental issue at stake IS not the Fir-
gin birth. or the inerrancy of the BIZ
BILE. or any outward authority for re-
ligion, but whether the principles
which Jesus laid down: N the sermon
on the Mount are to be applied to the
common affairs of life. An adroitly
worded creed. or beautiful ritual,
may furnish an interesting historical
study, or satisfy an aesthetic taste,
but might not get the world any
where as far as brotherhood, or love,
or peace is concerned.
The sermon on the Mount sets forth
two great and tremendously import
ant facts, viz. the Fatherhood of God,
and the childhood of every man to
Him. The whole purpose of Jesus
in his life among men was to de-
clare and eXemplify these facts. Upon
the truth of these statements he
based all his claims of leadership in
the moral and spiritual life of the
world.
Two thoughts were then presented
as indicating the character Of the
leadership of Jesus. Its first and chief
characteristic was it's deep severe
ccmmonsense. 1t appeals to all men
at once as reasonable and right. In
the words of Phillip Brooks, ito tell
men they were, and make them actu-
ally be the sons of God, that was the
purpose Of the coming of Jesus and
the shaping power Of his life" To
tell men they are sons of God and
then make every effort to have them
live like sons of God and brothers
must be the eternal purpose of all
religion. This makes religion broad
er than any sect, deeper than any
creed. more effective than any eccle-
siastical tribunal. The kingdom of
heaven then becomes the possession
OF those who Go the will of God and
not of those who simply cry Lord,
Lord.
Another characteristic Of the lead
ership of Jesus as based on the fact
OF fatherhood and sonship is that it
attracts men of all types of thought
and in all ages OF the world. 1t is
recognized at once as universal ap-
peal. 1t knows no time. place or
condition. To its appeal all hearts
respond. every sOuld may accept its
thought Mr.. Walch referred to Paul
the apostle. st. Francis the mystic,
Gen. Gordon the English soldier,
George Washington and Phillips
Brooks. These. he said. were all vide
ly separated in time. spirit and labor.
yet each one caught the vision of
Jesus and lived and died in the sac
rificial effort to make it tho basis of
enduring life for the whole wide
world.

Rev. Ralph F. Lowe
Reads Original Poem
At Evening Service

Following out his announcement

week ago. Rev. Ralph F. Lowe read an
original sonnet as a special feature OF
the service last evening. Rev. Mr..
Lowe will continue this feature as a
part Of the evening services to be con-
Quoted throughout the season. The
novelty is greatly enjoyed by the con-

There are two worlds with which
we have to do:
The one wherein We walk, and
work. and sleep.
With substance, form. and color.
winds that sweep.
Oceans in motion. stars set in the
blue
Insis,ent are its claims; whate'er
we view
Is ruled by law. secured in Ma
lures Keep.
The birds that fly. the fish, the
things that creep.
And man their lord, to it must pay
his due.
The other world is neither seen nor
heard:
1t knows not weight. nor laws Of
such kind
AS sway our bodies here, and yet
We feel
It's potency: the spirit within is
stirred:
Our souls dwell in a universe Of
To it respond. to it make their APP

Detective Killed
In First Days Drive
To Clean Up Gotham

New York, Jan. 13.-Police Commits
sioner Enright's drastic shakeup Of the
police force for alleged failure Of high
officials to enforce the federal prohi-
bition act brought immediate results
last night and today. when total OF
sic arrests were made in a series OF
raids on cabarets. saloons. dance hall
and speak easies." Federal prohibi.
ton agents. active in celebration of the
beginning Of the fourth year of prohi-
bition, added IS arrests to the police
list.
More than one-third were taken into
custody In the vicinity Of Greenwich
Village. Only six of these prisoners.
five of them women, were held. how
ever. Most Of the prisoners taken in
raids in other parts OF the city were
likewise dismissed in the magistrates
court.
The vershadowing occurrence OF the
day was the shooting to death of Police
Detective John A. Schneider. who tried
to prevent bandits from holding up a
restaurant in East 18th street. One of
the bandits was wounded and later
captured. He is believed to be dying.
Four other men were arrested.
Schneider and Detcvtivc Ertola were
passing the restaurant when they
heard the burglar alarm ring. Three
men were running from the restaurant
as the detectives reached the door. One
Of the bandits. James Donovan. fired
and Schneider dropped dead.
Ertola returned the fire and pursued
the bandit. who ran a short distance
down the street, dartcd into house
and forced his way into an apartment.
where he was captured. 1t was found
he had been wounded in the abdomen.
One Of the four arrested. police said.
was the driver of the taXicah which
the bandits kept waiting while they
committed the robbery. Men as well
as women patrons in the restaurant
were held UP.
Later in the day the body of an I'M
identified man, shot above the heart.
was found in a Brooklyn subway sta
ticn. Police said he had been muir
dered. No weapon was found.

As an economic problem tho
present proposal to reduce taxes
can be readily understood. II IS
estimated that taxes collected dur
ing the year 1925 upon the business
of the year 1924 will yield revenues
in excess Of expenditures to the
extent of $332000000 This is the
margin within which tax rcduc-
tions may be made and this margin
Twill be reduced dollar for dollar
in the proportion that expenditures
mot now contemplated by the Gov
eminent arc authorized by Con-
gross.
Compared with the total Of ex-
penditurcs this margin is not large.
Guaged, however, by the benefits,
direct and indirect, which reduc..
tion in taxes TO that amount would
bring TO more than 100000 tax
payers, il is an enormous sum. Re
licf from payments to the Govern
ment is but a part Of the beneht
thus to be conferred. OF vastly
greater importance in the long run
would be the fulfllment of Sec
rotary MELONS prediction that
Easement in taxes will bring an IN
crease of funds available for in.
vestment in productive industries
ISuch an outcome would mean not
only more income for persons en-
Iployed but a reduction in the costs
of the necessities of life upon
which those incomes are expended.

Hastens His Retreat
When Officer B0wker
Fires to Halt Him

a Young man, name unknown. who
has been causing some bother on the
east side Of the river by his peculiar
actions. proved one of the fastest run
ners in this vicinity Saturday after
noon, and when last seen was steam
ing along in a field east of the Maniey
residence on Stone street, headed APP
parently for the coast. and was maxi
ing such time that pursuit was impos-
sible.
The reason for his haste was evil
dent to those who watched. as Officer
Bowker of the Augusta police force
was chasing him, but being hampered
by the heavy ovcrcoat was no match
for the f1eet-footed stranger. Seeing
that the man would surely escape. Of
ficer Bowker drew his revolver and
emptied It in the general direction of
the fugitive. taking care. however. not
to hit him. but hoping in this way to
frighten him so that he might be cap
tured. The effect Of the shots howev-
err. was Just the reverse. Every time
the officer fired. the man Jumped like a
scared rabbit. increased his speed In
spite Of the crust and snow. and soon
disappeared. He has not been seen
since.
Reports have been received from the
east side Of the river. below Cony
street, that this man. apparently %
or "a years of age. has been making
himself obnoxious TO the ladies who
are compelled to be en- the streets
there. and he has twice before this es-
capped an officer by a scant margin. II
vas reported Saturday that he was at
the electric waiting room at Hospital
street. and Off1cer Bowker was sent
out there. The stranger saw him first
however. and soon outdistanced the
officer In the chase.
The man is described as fairly coed
looking and wearing good clothes. Al
one time he wore a blue sweater under
a coat. and later he was seen wearing
a sheepskin coat. He was first noticed
in the city about Armistice Day and
has been lettering about a store on
Arsenal street.

The approach to nor N''i0'A' D''
NAL conditions has not been open
ed without a considerable effort,
however, and it will be we'll for a
citizenry, encouraged by Secretary
Melons statement, to keep this
in mind. The surplus of receipts
over expenditures which has re-
suited at the close Of each year
since the war ended, was made
possible only by program of
economy in the conduct of public
business. This program received
definition in and an impulse from
a new budgctary system which be-
came operative in 1921. Admins
trative requirements were reduced
to a minimum and constant pres
sure was exerted to anticipate ten
denotes on the part of Congress to
return to the former system Of ill
considered, extravagant appropria-
tions. A revolutionary change in
the attitude of administrative de-
partments toward the expenditure
of the public moneys was affected
and Congress, on the whole, was
diligent in cooperation. Mr.. Mel
Ions recommendations are based
Upon the assumption that this at
titude on the part of the executive
and legislative branches will con-

The issue between this new
method Of conducting public af-
fairs and the old system is now
laid before the people for their
