Alvah j. Rucker, former corpora

delivery letter to the Marion County

If named special prosecutor, the
letter says, he will endeavor ito
procure convictable evidence of the
$4,000 charge and of other matters
related thereto. 1 say convictable
evidence. for by your preliminary
investigators I have no doubt that
you are now convinced of the truth
of the charge; truth admitted pri-
vately by all men engaged in poll
tics and universally believed by the
people"
Rucker states he desires pay for
his work as special prosecutor if
possible, but will donate his services
at "a very bitter personal sacrifice, /"

statute of limitations has outlawed
prosecution for the alleged $4,000
offer, it is understood.

tentialities, the basis Of present wealth
and prosperity, were uncovered and
leavened by the hands of our ances.
tors. Fortified by their simple faith
in God and Immortality, they left us
a magnificent heritage in both the
spiritual and the material things.
Prosperity IL perhaps the most hu.
manly desired state. But does 1t bring
supreme happiness when not accom-
panied with sincere faith in God and
immortality? There is only one an.
swer. Are we the beneficiaries of the
spiritual heritage our forbears left us?
Do we cling to this spiritual herit-
age?" In the ripeness of his full
years the old man was seeking to re-
appraise the values that remain. His
conclusion was that the religious prin-
ciples taught us In our youth prob.
ably by our mothers, are the
indispensable things that remain
through all the changed and chang.
ing circumstances of life Long ago
the Psalmist wrote: Keep innocency
and take heed unto the thing that is
right, for that shall bring a man
peace at the last" No matter how we
may regard the value of other things
that we hold and possess, one thing is
clearly certain--rlamely, the best and
finest things we have are secured to
us alone through ah unfailing prac.
tice of the deep religious principles
and ideals given to mankind by Jesus
Christ. We may get along fairly we'll
without luxuries, we may stand the
strain Of adversely or even the ener-
waiting tendencies OF prosperity. but
we cannot get along without those def.

rial gifts that stand them in stead.
The things that remain, that are fixed
and definite and that have to do with
the deepest and hottest concerns of
life, are the principles and ideals that
we inculcate in them. Chauncey De.
pew's inquiry is a searching one. Do
we cling to the spiritual heritage of
our forefathers? Are we attempting
to set up new order in which rev.
erence for sacred things and the rec
ognition Of life's great principles are
to be ignored and neglected? What
are the things that remain?
