related to the love Of God. 1t is an
experience of love. It is an expe-
rience in which life is changed
through new desires. And though,
as Jesus says. 1t cannot be clearly
defined, It's results have been mani
fest all through the history OF re-
ligion.
Our emphasis in the lesson should
not be upon the mystery Of the new
birth in itself. 1t should be rather
upon the closing verses Of the lesson
which state Gods loving purpose for
the world. The experience of the
new birth must not be detached
from this loving purpose. 1t means
the bringing to light and effective
ness in the souls of individual men
Of this purpose that God has con-
corning their lives.
Is II a mystery that is hard to
understand? How simple It becomes
when men really trust in Gods low
ing kindness! The new birth be-
comes q reality for lowly men and
for great men as they yield their
lives to the love and power Of God
in Christ Jesus. This is the mystery
Of the new birth. and the new birth
In Christ Jesus is possible for every
man.

FREE PARK
THEATERS

NARLTON GUY, dramatic d.
IL rector of the free municipal
theaters operated during
the summer season at Garfield and
Brookside parks. has resigned.
And the free park performances
by professional actors will be dis
continued, according to the Indian
apolis park board. Lack ef funds
to carry on the theatrical activities
is given as the reason.
It's too bad.
Perhaps from the viewpoint Of
strict municipal economy the
money expended in providing
these municipal theatrical per-
formances was wasted. 1t might
be argued that the show business
is not a proper function OF city
government.
But last season $50. 900 people
attended the, Brookside and Gar
field theaters. No other equal ex-
penditure by the city afforded en-
tertainment and recreation for
such a large number OF the people
Of Indianapolis. Obviously the
park theatricals are popular.
Frrn the days of the old broken
nose Romans, who built coliseums
and circuses in which the populace
was entertained with free gladi-
atorial shows. providing entertain.
ment and recreation for the people
has been care of municipal gov
eminent There is as much logic
in maintaining free park theaters
as there is in operating municipal
golf links or the parks themselves.
They all serve the same purpose
public recreation.
OF course, if the sheaters remain
dark next season the city admin
istration viii still furnish the citi-
gems with some free entertain
ment. The city council meets
regularly and there is no admis-
sion charge. Possibly that's
enough free show--bGt II won't
draw 100000 people during the
season.

Shucks Pifflel
If such pictures engender war-like spirit
in the hearts Of school children, here in Indian

other reminders Of war off our monument in

No one-patriot or pacifst-wants war or

arrive. His agony increased. until
one day it dawned upon him: IT
am a slave to my money; am in
abject bondage to it." The revela-
ton shocked him to the depths. With
determination to free himself from
this awful bondage. he sat down and
wrote out for the noble causes and
Institutions of his city a check for
$40,000-the equivalent of the goods
on the delayed ship. at discover
that money is actually my master"
he said. but from this hour l will
master it. by the grace Of God"
The bondage of money is the most
gripping and CALLING bondage any
man ever experienced. 1t is bond
age under which thousands of men
are bound in a most abject servi-
tude. Not only men of great pos
sessions but men of small possess
sions, for a man may be mastered
by a few hundred dollars as well
as by a million.
1t would be better for man to
sell all he has and give to the poor
than to live a life Of such servitude.
When man masters his money he
has gone long way toward the
right mastery in everything else.

any other injured foreign power, to take the
necessary steps itself.
But there are ways and ways to protect for
eign interests in Mexico. And Secretary Of
State Kellogg's way is not one of them. How
ever unconsciously he is now playing straight
into the hands of Mexican revolutionaries who
are merely waiting for chance to start re-
volt.
Secretary Kellogg has intimated he might
break with Mexico any time. Unbiased OBJ
servers who have lived in Mexico for years,
who know the people and speak their language,
are of the opinion that such break would in
evitably result in revolution. They also be-
lieve if President Gales is bullied by
Washington into openly molding Mexico 40
nestle laws to suit the powerful neighbor to
the north, it will be the signal for a rising
against him. 1t will give the revolutionists
the rallying cry they seek.
The present generation has seen several

factions fought for power and when nobody s
rights were worth a nickel. Would a repeti-
ton Of these scenes help us anyY
Last summer in bullying note to Mexico,
Secretary Kellogg, among other things, said
that Mexico is on trial before the world Not
so much as we are. The world is watching us,
particularly Latin America, to see what use we
make of our stupendous wealth and power in
our dealing with the weaker nations
Mexico is the last country on earth we
should bully. Real, strong, discreet but honest
diplomacy is what we need in Mexico City. We
should not even suggest force down there save
as last, desperate resort and then not until
we were prepared to use it in defense of legiti-
mate, worthwhile rights

Text: 'sThen Jesus beholding him
loved him, and said unto Linn, one
thing thou lackest: Go thy way, sell
whatsoever thou hast, and give to
the poor-And he was sad at that
saying, and went away grieved: for
he had great possessions. Mark
10:21-22.
RI VERY Bible reader ia familiar
with the story of the rich
III young man who came to Je-
sus and wanted to know what he
must do to inherit eternal life. In
many respects he was model young
man. But one thing stood in his
way. He had great possessions and
he was the slave OF his possessions.
Never could he be the man he ought
to be until he was freed from that
slavery. Hence Jesus said to him.
Go sell whatsoever thou hast and
give to the poor" Not that there
was anything wrong in having great
possessions. The trouble was that
his possessions had so mastered and
enslaved him that there was no
other remedy but to get rid of them.
The story is told of a certain east
ern merchant who owned a number
of commercial ships. One ship, car
rying $4,000 worth of goods, was
due on certain day and did not
appear. The merchant became anx-
ious and nervous, and found him

BuIIyragging Mexico

TIT is estimated that Americans have
$500000,000 stake in Mexico mostly in
oil holdings, mineral rights and ranch lands.
Now comes the news that the Mexican
government is passing laws which threaten
these and other foreign interests.
If this is true then the American Govern
ment's plain duty is to do everything it can le-
ultimately to protect these interests
In the first place it is the duty Of the
American Government to protect the honestly
acquired rights Of American citizens every
where. That is one Of the reasons why we have
a government: To look after our interests.
In the second place we have a Monroe Doc
trine. That doctrine is opposed to foreign IN
tervention anywhere in the Americas But if
British French, German and other foreign
rights are menaced by Mexico, either we must
do something to safeguard them else stand

Paul Robson to Sing Spirituals Here Next Week

AUL robson ard Law
III renee Brown will present
IL their program of Negro
music in Caleb Mills Hall, on next
Wednesday night, coming here on
their successful coast to coast tour.
Seldom have any artists created
such a furore as did Paul Robson
and Lawrence Brown when they
gave their first concert Of Negro
Spirituals in New York this spring.
Not only did the leading critics give
them the highest praise, but so in
simultaneously did they win their
audience that two more recitals or
two more capacity houses were
necessary before New York would
be temporarily appeased until
another season brought more con-
certs and new opportunities to hear
this music. The applause would not
stop; the program could have gone
on forever so far as the spell-bound
listeners were concerned.
Negro spirituels have always had
deep appeal. Their melodies, their
rhythms. their profound emotion
have never failed to move audiences
in any part OF the world. They are
primitive, they are fundamental.
They find a response in the heart
Of every one. Only possibly in the
tragic folk music of Russia is such
note found. But New York was
stirred anew because Of the great
art, this fine dramatic Interpretation
of the men who have once more
brought this truly American music
to the public.
Paul Robson has been for some
years a prominent figure in Ameri-
can life. Whatever he has done has
been Of public interest. Born in
Princeton, N j., he is graduate
of Rutgers College and of Columbia
University Law School. During his
Undergraduate days he was selected
by the late Walter Camp as mem
Der of his all-Amerfcan football team.

COM MISSI0NERS
AND COURTHOUSE

GT7HE Indianapolis Real Estate
Board will investigate the
IL feasibility Of the proposal
that Marion County sell or lease
the south half of the present
courthouse square and with the
proceeds erect modern office
building on the north half of the
square for county business.
That suggestion was made by
Chamber of Commerce official,
who has studied the situation. He
believes that a sufficient sum can
be realized from disposal of the
south half of the square to erect
a s3,000,000 muItiple-story build
ing on the other half suitable for
the needs of county offices and
courts for many years.
To John j. Citizen the proposal
sounds interesting. A plan that
will provide new $4,000, 900 court

is worth investigating.

"A Strange Attitude

FL INCOME tax collectors the country over
l are coming to bat for the Administration
in its effort to kill all the publicity features of
the present law. This doesn't have just the
right appearance, for one of the purposes of
publicity is to assure that the collectors make
proper collections, as well as to that tax
payers make proper payments. The collectors
appear to wish to hide from the public gaze
the manner in which they carry out the law.
This curious attitude runs all the way up
to the top, where sits Andrew W. Mellon, Sec
rotary Of the Treasury. Mr.. MELONS, personal
interest, as a taxpayer, in the administration
Of the income tax law is well known. His vast
properties and enormous wealth subject him
to the attentions Of his own subordinates at
many points
For one instance, a total allowance of
$569,934,813 was made by the tax bureau to
various industrial concerns up to April 80,
1925, for amortization Of their war facilities
OF this amount, the Senate committee which
has been investigating the tax bureau says
$210,OOOOOO was improperly allowed. Among
the concerns receiving large share of this
enormous allowance was the Aluminium Com
pany Of America, controlled by Mellon and
his brother.
This newspaper never has suggested that
Mr.. Mellon has taken advantage of his position
to profit financially, but we confess we would
find it easier to admire the man if his position
on the subject of publicity were different. He
would create more confidence, we think, if he
were to insist upon publicity than he creates
by endeavoring to prevent publicity.
There is in Washington class Of men who
prosper through their inside knowledge Of the
tax bureau. Many Of these are former en-
ployes and officials Of the bureau. They know
all the rulings, regulations and personal preju-
dices of the men who finally pass on disputed
assessments. They get results, it is said, that
the best attorneys from outside cities cannot
get for their clients.
What reason is there for not publishing, in
the simplest language the rules, regulations
and procedure of the tax bureau and so make
it unnecessary to taxpayers to employ these
Washington expertS-or, as the Senate COM
mittee calls them, ssfxersqn
Mr.. Melons life training has been in the
secret workings of finance. Private banking
naturally, is not matter Of public print. But

not Mr.. Melons private business He would
present himself as better public servant if he
revealed some recognition of this fact

@F there had been throughout
history no qucstioners and
doubters and anxious inquir-
ers, tho world would havI had very
much less light upon mary things.
Mary Of the most interesti.Nc pages
in the New Testament reiat to the
questions which people asksd and to
the replies that were given by Jesus
and by others who taught in his
name.
Among the most interesting OF all
interviews in the life of Christ is
that with Nicodemus, who came to
Jesus by night. Mic. demus is identi-
fled for us as a Pharisee and a mem
Der Of the governing body of the
Jewish communion, the Sanhedrin.
AS Pharisee he belonged to the
strict sect of the Jews. Many among
the Pharisees were more strict re-
garding outward things and cere-
monial practices than regarding the
realities of religion. just as many
church members today who are the
most strict about certain formal
things are careless about matters of
elemental Righteousness and truth.
True Spirituality
But the fact that there is
hypocrisy among modern church
members does not blind us to the
great sincerity that IS manifested
generally by members OF Christian
churches. So we should remember
that many of the Pharisees were
earnestly spiritual, and that appar-
emily It was among the Pharisees
that there were found some Of those
who were most earnestly expecting
the coming OF the Messiah.
As a member of the Sanhedrin,
Nicodemus was a man Of great
prominence. Much has been said
concerning his cowardice in coming
to Jesus by night, but there is no in
dication that his coming in that way
implied either cowardice or timidity.
There was no reason other than his
interest in truth that he should have
come at all, and It is not I'm any way
to his discredit that he wished to
know more concerning Jesus before
he gave full allegiance to him.
1t does appear that later on Nico-
demus wavered somewhat, but even
this may have been the wagering of
a man who was not fully convinced.
He undoubtedly accepted certain
very definite risks when he defended
