all seem to be vital to the life
- and development Of the church
and even of mems faith, and so it
was not long after the time of Christ
until the Christian church had taken
on ceremonies and built up elaborate
theological dogma.
From the very first there were
those who fought bitterly against
these dogma, the virgin birth, for
example, the immaculate conception,
the nature of the Trinity, the nature
of the Holy Ghost, the tremendous
question of ns-substantiaton, the
question Of whether Jesus was Very
God Of Very God one with the Fa-
ther indivisible and inseparable, or
whether His divinity was that which
in small portion is Vouchsafed to all
sons of mel.
The question of the literal inspira-
ton of the scriptures did not come
up till long after, for manifestly in
the early days there must have been
thousands who knew the Pauline and
other apostolic letters were written
by men just as mortal and just as
feshly as other writers, but in time

III der as we'll. BY treating adj
justed compensation as a. part of the
war cost and funding 1t through an
issue Of fifty-year bonds, the interest

exceed eighty to ninety million dol
lars per annum. This would not pre-
vent a reduction in taxes.
This question should long ago have
been taken out Of politics and in no
circumstances should be used for po-
litical advantages. The men who
served in the trenches got one dollar
and ten cents per day; those in the
reserves in America got one dollar
per day. If the American people be-
neve 1t was worth two dollars ami
thirty-flve cents per day to serve in
the trenches and two dollars per day

these being the rates the soldiers are
asking as adjusted compensation.
then tho difference between these
rates and what the soldiers have al
ready received should be paid as an
act of justice.

Remembers War Stories

I can we'll remember the stories
Of the boys lives saved in the Civil
War by the mothers Bibles which
had been placed over the hearts Of
soldier boys and thus received the
bullets intended for the boys who
wore them.
Upon every marble topped center
table the family Bible lay, oft dust

But the first chapter of Genesis gives

Thus the fight between the pro-
gressives and the conservatives has
gone on through the ages, the fun

Civil Employees Paid

We gave more than 100000 civil
employees Of the Government during
the war a bonus OF s240 per annum,
and this has continued for more han
five years. Is it less right to give the
men who fought in the war equal
consideration?
We can never afford to say that
justice shall not be done because II
costs nothing. We have spent our
blood copiously in various wars to Sc
cure Justice; shall we refuse to spend
money to give justice? Justice must
never be measured in dollars; it must
be measured only in righteousness and
humanity.

stated taxes can be reduced 1929 900 900

be done by issuing fifty-year bonds

this from the 1925, 200, 900 tax reduc-
ton proposed by the Secretary of the
Treasury, and we have a net reduc-
ton in taxes Of $245, 100000, and the

The liability under the cash plan

win Be Acceptable
am confident that it will be ac-
ceptable to nineteenth of the soldiers.
It's adoption will take the matter out
of politics and put an end to the
controversy. I believe also this just
recognition will prove an effective
barrier against any demand that may
be made in the future for service
pensions, which, because of the great
number of men involved, would i'm
pose an almost impossible burden on
the American people. Justice to the
soldiers now may prevent injustice to
the people later.
Those who oppose a settlement Of
this matter by saying 1t will hurt the
credit Of the Government, or that 1t
cannot be financed by the Treasury,
remind me of those who insisted that
the Liberty Bonds could not be sold
to the people. They were pessimists
then as they are pessimists now.

among them being Mt. Mckinley

North America is also located
along this trail, about forty miles

features being dancing and eat
