the pilot bill Is amended. and there
arc several bills in direct antagon-
ism to that which has passed the
Senate. there will be a disagreement
The same Is true Of the prohibition
bill. which has not passed either
branch.
The senate still has the budget bill
TO consider, and enough has been
heard TO make 1T plain that the meas

hour as was the case in the house.
The bills seeking to raise the tax rates
on intangibles and that dealing with
the subject of uniform assessments

would restore the discarded boards

CITES CHRISTIANS DUTY.
Rev. DR.. Perkins Says Let Christ
Interpret Religion.

"One of the fundamental needs of
an effective Christianity today is to
allow Christ to be the interpreter of
his own religion" Rev. DR.. F. W.
Perkins of Lynn. Mass, said in his
sermon last night at the Church of
Our Father. Instead. men have set
forth as faith in Christ faith in about
everything else but Christ
He had for his topic, II Am tho
Way" and said, The early disciples
of Jesus were called simply fol-
lowers of the way TAerein is re-
vealed the essence of Christianity. 1t
is simply Christ's way Of life. Let no
one imagine that thus simplifying it
in thought means making it easier
of accomplishment. For every intel
lectual difficulty removed a spiritual
difficulty is enhanced, but 1t is a
difficulty which, by challenge, calls
out the power to meet it. The impact
of Christianity Is the impact Of the life
of Christ. 1t is the contagion of a
life more than the appeal of a doc
trine or a ritual or an institution.
The way of Jesus Christ leads to the
truth Of Jesus, as the way of the
flower garden leads to the truths of
botany, rather than the reverse"
