Sunday School Lesson

upon to give so as to encourage idle
ness, thriftlessness and introduce
such spirit Of dependence that a
mans independence would be de-
stroyed. Jesus evidently was con-
demning the hard and covetous at
titude of the Pharisees, who failed to
aid the poor by their oppressive spirit.
Love calls for us to be generous. even
to the point of absolute sacrifice, If
we are brought face to face with a
real need.
The Golden Rule.
Our application of the law of love
should be governed by the golden
rule" las We would that men should
do to you, do We also to them" In
these few words Christ has condensed
all of His teachings with reference to
our relations with one another. Others
have caught CLEANS and glimpses OF
this law of love in their 'silver rules
Confucus in his writings has put it In
negative form: do not do to others
what you would not wish done tC
yourself" This low standard is what
the worldly minded man could prac

DRIVE ON WEDDING
RUNNERS PLANNED
JefferSonviIIe, Ind, Police to
Fight "MarryiDg Squires"
Solicitors Practices.

BY the Associated Press.
JEFFERSONVILLE Ind, January
8.-Solicitors for marrying squires, -
known as runners" in this Gretna
Green of southern Indiana, may have
a difficult time in rounding up couples
for wedlock if M. E. Clegg, chief of
police here, has his way. Chief Clegg
issued warning to all offending run
ners that they would be punished.
Chief Clegg said the runners, who
drum up business for the magistrates,
make nuisances of themselves at
ferry terminals here leading from
Kentucky and at railroad stations.
The runners even hop on running
boards of automobiles entering JEFF
fersonville if they notice boy and
a girl in them, he said, and approach
them about marriage.
Solicitors are said to be paid a
commission from the profits of every
couple they bring before a squire to
be married.
Competition among magistrates is
so keen that one squire said he dis.
liked to leave his office because an.
other squire's runner would get his
business. Many Jeffersonville run
ners are declared to operate on the
Louisville side of the river.
Police headquarters here also report
complaint has been made about magis-
terial signs over important business
offices here in the downtown section
when in reality no magistrate has his
Office there.

Promises Academic Freedom

Wisconsin Dispute.

BY the Associated Press.
MADISON, Wis, January 8.-A
teachers opinions, however widely
they may differ from the political be-
liefs of the States chief executive,

pline at the University of Wisconsin,
Thursday.
Gov. j. J. Blaine, United States
Senator elect, recently attacked as 4
"hodge- podge of lies, half truths and

bath came to a tribesman upon awak-
ening The poor fellow knew nothing
of mental processes. He had no psy-
choanalist to whom he could go for
advice as to whether the impulse to
battle in the river at dawn was bad,
good or symbolic. He said, Its an
order from Cod A messenger from
Heaven gave me the order. | saw the
angel leaving my hut after he had or
dered me to dive into the water"
The more spiritual of the primitives
had to describe their angels to their
more dull-witted and literal brethren.
There grew up, over a period of many
centuries, a conception of the angel
of God" which has been preserved for
us by such great artists as Michel
angelo, Leonardo da Vinci and Andrea
del Sarto. The angels drawn by the
classic painters were always male, for
in the days of the Towering of Chris
tian art the female was not in high
enough standing to take angelic form.
In later times, when women have been
more or less relieved Of the stigma of
having led man to his fall with an
apple, efforts have been made to depict
female angels, but seldom by well in
formed ecclesiastical persons. A ia
nous TODD was made when a great
sculptor made guardian angels alto
gether male when decorating the cam
gus of an American college for women.
There are plenty of people who can
tell you exactly how tall an angel is,
how much he weighs, how his wings
are fastened to his shoulder blades and
what kind of clothing he wears when
visiting mortals. / know that the an
gels painted by Andrea del Sarto, 1.-The
perfect painter" were heavy, fieshly
and quite awkward in appearance.
The wings were long and un~ieldy,
and wholly incapable of producing
flight, according to our modern knowl-
edge of the laws of aero dynamics.
/ do not know exactly what an
angel is like, but / feel certain that
he is not anything like the angelic fig
ures that have been pictured and
sculptured through all the centuries of
faith. There is a story in the Old Tes-
lament of Jacobs wrestling for hours
on end with an angel. Unfortunately,
Jacob did not leave any very exact
description of his wrestling partner of
that now famous night, but moderns
are inclined 20 suspect that perhaps
the good man had eater some very in.
digestib!e food before retiring, and ex-
perlenced what later generations have
called a nightmare.
The spiritual normal human being
is, at his best, in touch or tune with
the Infinite. The human genius is In.
spired. Many Of us who are not
geniuses feel often the touch of in
spiration for creative work. We are
visited by neutrality-suspicious. psychic
movements that produce, for one in
dividual, a good brick wall or a lovely
flower bed, and for another produce a

of a convict.

is that fundamentally the universe
is a spiritual order peopled by living
beings that grade up from the lowest
amoeba, through the ascending spiral
in the brute and bird creation, to
man, and then from man, through
grades of angels and other celestial
beings, up to God, who is the Su-
preme Spirit.
Now, in our modern world, because
of our scientific methods Of thought,
we have tended more and more toward
this materialistic and mechanical con-
ception of the universe, and have lost
sight, In part, of the great facts and
forces in the spiritual world. The
scientific method requires that all
facts, whether understood or not, shall
be taken into consideration as basis
for induction before any final con-
illusions are reached; but, because
science deals largely with material
facts, and forces, and has to do almost
exclusively with secondary causes,
these things tend to make us one
sided in our thinking and our lives.
Even a man as practical as Mark
Twain declared his firm belief that
Joan Of Ark did see her angels, and
he well said that her after life can
be explained only upon the basis
that she was guided from the unseen
world.
The Bible is explicit in its teaching
about angels. 1t makes clear that
there are grades or orders among
the angels, and some Of them are
even called by name, as, for exam
pie, the Archangels Michael and Ga
briel.
1t is also clear from Scripture that
these angelic beings are friends of
man-at least the good angels who
have not fallen from their highest
estate by following Satan.
Our text indicates that one OF the
chief activities of the heavenly hosts
is serving the heirs of salvation. The
inspired psalmist declared unto us,
THE angel of the Lord encampeth
round about them that fear him, and
delivereth them" Psalms, xxxiv.7o
Let US be done, then, with the short
view Of our modern skepticism and
scientific doubt which sees only the
mud Of a materialistic present, and
may our eyes be opened that we
may see the glories of the eternal
world Of spirit

NICOLAS PRESIDES
AT RELIGIOUS RITES
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BUCHAREST, January S.-Prince
Nicolas, who only recently returned
from a tour of the United States with
his mother, Queen Marie, presided
Thursday at the ceremony of the bless
ing of the waters The decision to have
the prince represent the dynasty in
this Greek Catholic rite was reached
only few hours before it took place.
Princess Ileana also was present.
The plans for this high religious and
civil ceremony had called for Miron
Christea, patriarch of Rumania, to
preside, and there was much discus,
sion over the fact that for the first
time in years no member of the royal
family was to be present. The patri.
arch is one of the three members OF
the regency, named when Prince Carol
renowned his rights to the throne to
rule over the country should King Fer
dinand die.
While there is no political signln'
canoe in the fact that Nicolas repre-
sented the King at the New Year
ceremony and again yesterday, 1t Is
commented on as apparently confirm
ing that no change will be made In
the regency, as was rumored when
the newspapers stated that Queen
Marie was the choice of hte council
of ministers to preside over yester-
days ceremony.
