Read Mt. 7:21-29. Text: 7:24 Ev-
cry one therefore that heareth these
words of Mine. and doeth them. shall
be likened unto a wise man
In order to believe In Jesus there
fore. it is necessary to see first OF all
what His ideals are and how He pro-
poses to realize them. They stand
out in simplicity and clearness in the
Gospels.
1. God Is powerful heavenly
Father near at hand; all men should
pray to Him and work with Him for
an honest and friendly world.
2. Men must work together with in.
vincible good will. for human brother.
hood, for civilization in which ev-
eryman will wish for all other men
such a fair chance at all good things
as a man would like his brother to
have.
8. Men should with growing CON
viction count upon an opportunity
after death to continue working tc
gether for the common good"
MEDITATION: Jesus sought to
prevent truth in such fashion that
His hearers would not only believe
it but would be gripped by 1t and in
spired to put 1t into practice in their
daily living. One who does that, Je-
sus said, is wise man.
PERSONAL QUESTION: Are the
standards Of Jesus practical?
PRAYER: Almighty God, encour-
age us to draw near to Thee in sin
worship of the lips while our hearts
are far away. May we have true
wisdom to learn Thy truth and to do
Thy will. Amen.

The Goat

To the Editor Of The Times
Is IT not a fact that at least 80 per
cent OF the patrons of the Indianapolis
Street Railway Company are wage
earners2 Why is it that the wage
Garner should be the goat to equip
construct and improve the street car
system for the owners and financial
investors of the street car company?
Under present wage conditions have
they not enough burden to carry
without an increase of fare.
I wonder why those who have
money invest in street car companies
If they do not bring satisfactory re
turns on their investments.
The present street car fare is as
much as wage earners can afford tc
pay. If not, why not public owner

FALLL0AN FIGURES
IN OIL LEASE TRIAL
Particular Emphasis Laid on
100000 Transaction by

BY the Associated Press

Los ANGELES. November 14.-De-
fense arguments in the 100000, 900
Elk Hills oil lease cancellation suit
brought by the government against
the Pan American Petroleum and
Transport Company were reached in
Federal court here today.
Opening arguments for the govern
ment, presented by owen j. Roberts
and Atlee Pomerene yesterday, scored
the failure of T.. l.. Doheny and other
important officials OF the defendant
company to testify concerning their
part in the naval oil lease negotia
tionS and stressed the element of the
fraud, conspiracy and illegality which
they charged formed an integral part
of the negotiations.
Particular emphasis was laid on the
100000 which Doheny loaned Albert
B. Fail. Secretary Of the Interior, at
the time the leases were granted and
in return for which, counsel declared,
"Doheny got property which he
himself estimated would yield his
company 100000, 900"
