Other Names to
Be Cleared

TR1RESIDENT COOLIDGE appointed Bert
Haney of Oregon to the United States
shipping board and later demanded that he re-
sign because, so he said, Haney wasn't living
up to an understanding they had made con-
corning certain policies of the shipping board
Haney denied making any such understand
ing and refused to resign.
President Coolidge had vacancy to fill in
the United States tariff commission in 1924
The election was imminent and politics die
tated that he reappoint David j. Lewis Of
Maryland He knew Lewis believed, that the
sugar tariff should be reduced in order to save
millions of dollars-which the big sugar con-
Germs didn't need-to the American ,consum-
ers. Coolidge s sympathy was with the sugar
concerns rather than the housewives. He was
engaged at the time in an effort to make
Thomas Beecher Warren, representative Of
the sugar interests, his Attorney General. He
wished to control Lewis and he didn't want
any such slip-up such as occurred in the case Of
Bert Haney.
So he asked Lewis to give him, in ,ad-
vance, his undated resignation to be held as
club over Lewis head.
These facts have now come out and the
White House spokesman has no explanation for
them. How can he explainY

the Presidents agent. He is semi judicial
official and wholly independent Of the Presi-

Court.

A Woman's Viewpoint

the chance to live happy life with
wife and children and friends, in
comfort and ease, who suddenly--for
what reason. who can say?-fung
away their content and self-respect
to carry on an Illicit love affair and
who spent the rest of their lives
paying, not only in money, but in
sorrow for that sort Of foolishness?
Haven't you seen women who had
happiness in their hands and who
threw the best things of existence
away, because they did not have the
courage to stand by the honest con-
victions OF their own hearts?
The most OF us wander down the
primrose path, not so much because
we have a passion for wickednes and
loose living, but because we are
obsessed with the idea that we must

straight back into the realm of
righteousness and character.
And then comes the glorious
revelation that this woman of evil
life had in her the elements OF a
real saint. Beneath her sinful ways
there was that which responded to
the coming of the Messiah. and when
Jesus announced himself as the Mes
siah, the woman apparently be-
lieved.
She left her waterproof and went
into the city and gave such remark
able witness concerning Jesus that
the men Of the city came out and
believed on Him saying to the
woman. Nov we believe not be-
cause of the saying: for we have
heard Him ourselves, and know that
this is. indeed the Christ. the Savior
Of the world"
If we could all come through this
lesson to this acknowledgment, the
lesson would have revealed for us
all it's richness and fullness of mean

Mrs. Urbahns Succeeds
Her Husband

FRI OLLOWING the custom that has grown
IL up during recent years of appointing
widows of deceased Office holders to succeed

band as Treasurer of State. Mr.. Urbahns died
Thursday night.
Mrs. Urbahns has had considerable expert

certain frank honesty in her words.
She Is, evidently quite willing to give
the stranger a drink, but, like the
disciples, she is amazed that Jew
should ask for a drink from Sa-
marian woman.
The conversation very quickly
passes into depths far deeper than
that Of the well. Jesus comes at
once to speak Of the mystery of the
living water and the woman is sas
puzzled as was Nicodemus. Her re-
quest for the living water and the
admonition Of Jesus to her to go and
call her husband lead into matters
that press very closely home to her
conscience, and she seeks way out
by steering the conversation. back
into the mysteries of worship.

The woman of Samaria is not the
first nor the last Of those-who have
sought to avoid responsibility for
their sins by assuming an. interest
in religion. But Jesus leads her

BY VIM. e. GILROY, ID. ID.
Editor of The COngregatiOnaIist

HE gospel Of John is rich in
I its interviews. Probably few
things in literature or In
journalism are more interesting than
narratives and teachings in the form
Of good dialogue, and the writer of
this Gospel is master in the art Of
recording an interview.
We must read the story of Jesus
and the Samaritan woman against
the backgrounds of It's own age to
catch its full significance. There
would be, for instance, nothing un-
usual about q teacher conversing
with woman in a public place in
our modern day. But in the Pales-
tine Of that time there was a CON
vention that separated the sexes, APP
proximating to the custom that has
continued in eastern countries and
that has only been modified in recent
years.
1t would have been most uncom-
mon for Jesus to have been found
conversing with any woman at so
public a place as Jacobs Well, but
that he should have been found in
such intimate conversation with a
Samaritan woman, and with wom-
an of questionable character, was SO
much against all the conventions
OF the time that it Is no wonder
that the disciples marveled greatly.
1t is an instructive incident remind
Ing us how revolutionary Jesus was
Ia his attitude toward prevalent
teachings and customs where these
conflicted with the simple exercise
Of goodness and common sense.
Putting Custom Aside
we are reminded also that it is
5ne OF the functions of sane and
sound religion to abolish customs
and restrictions that are not in
harmony with sensible practice, and
that unduly limit the freedom that
true Christianity would bring into
every sphere of life.
Like the conversation with Nico-
demus the teaching of this narrative
centers around water as symbol of
life. The simple request that Jesus
made to the woman for a drink of
water Is the opening for this match
less sermon on the nature of God
and the secret OF true worship and
OF eternal life. The woman shows
immediately that she has some ca
pacity for thought, and there is a
