Love Detecas Subtle Sins"

Love Detecas Subtle Sins"
SCRIPTURE: Read - Matthew
16:21-2S.
He turned and said unto Peter,
Get thee behind me, Satan; for thou
art a stumbling block unto me; for
thou mindest not the things Of God,
but the things OF men" (Mt. 1929.
"And bring up not into temptation,
but deliver us from the evil one"
ont. 613). Therefore let us lay
aside every weight, and the sin
which doth so easily beset us" QIeb.
12:1).
See-Romans I'll: Hebrews s.;
49,; II Corinthians 11:3; II Peter
20.
MEDITATION: Could not Jesus
trust His best friend to counsel His
highest good? Peters counsel seems
so reasonable. One great difference
between Jesus and ordinary men is
His discrimination. How He detected
the subtle selfishness in this typical
temptation. Such discerning love
we need against our besetting sins.
1t is His gift to those who live with
Him.
Give me, above all, the spotless-
ness of soul that can touch the
world and remain unspotted still
exposed, yet undefiled; assailed, yet
free from tarnish; tempted, yet with
out sim
HYMN:
o. Master let me walk with Thee
In lowly paths of service free,
Tell me Thy secret, help me bear
The strain of toll, the fret of care.
Teach me Thy patience; still with
Thee
In closer, dearer company,
In work that keeps faith sweet
and strong,
In trust that triumphs over wrong.
In hope that sends a shining ray
Far down the futures broadening
way
In peace that only Thou canst
give
With Thee, o Master, let me live.
Washington GLADDEN., 1879.
PRAYER: Pray for - spirit of
meekness; the religiously deluded;
the goodwill of men; Christian unity.
Collect-Lord of all truth, whose
mind is quick and powerful, we
praise Thee for the universe, so
vast, so orderly, so dependable. We
bless Thee for the persons of men
and the powers of friendship in
them and us but yet more for friend
ship with Thyself, for fellowship
with Thy Son, and for Thy pervad-
ing presence with us in the Holy
Spirit Precious are the moments
of intimate intercourse with Thee.
Reprove us, we entreat Thee, for
the pursuit of things to the forget
ting of friendships human and di-
vine. Give us the discriminating
mind which detects the subtlies of
sin and the beauty of holiness. So
shall we know victory in the con-
flict. Therefore we covenant with
Thee to put first things first by the
grace of Christ. Amen.

Purpose of Appeal

Primarily the right of appeal is
granted not to make business for
lawyers, or yet to perfect the legal
system, but to discover whether JUS
tice has been done in each particu-
lar case.
The fact every rule may have been
observed and every precedent heed
ed means little, except that court
officers knew their cards. This ais
important, Of course. Every one is
glad to learn that Massachusetts
courts are conducted with a ritual
ism that is beyond reproach.
At the same time and notwith-
standing all the rules and prece-
dents, some testimony may have
been admitted for more than it was
worth and some may have been kept
out for less.
The thing has occurred before, and
why is it not possible in this case?
1t is the business of lawyers to
demonstrate their efficiency, of the
court to see that they don't put any
thlng over on each other which is
not allowed by rule and precedent,
and of the jury to take what is left
and arrive at a verdict.
All that was done in the Sacco-
Vanzetti case. There can be no
doubt the technical requirements
were observed scrupulously. Still,
good many people are not satisfied.
Neither do they represent the radi-
cal elements alone.
Some of the severest critics come
from the circles that are utterly op-
posed to the political notions of the
two defendants.
You can understand and discount
the cutlery of professional radicals,
but you can't ignore the interest and
opinion of such men as Professor
Frankfurter or of such women as
Mrs. Straight.

Has Law Been Right2

The pressure of emotionalism and
prejudice, such as has been manifest
by mobs and threats throughout the
world, should be given no considera-
ton.
Our law must be beyond intimida-
ton. 1t cannot afford to yield to
the winds of popular sentiment. If
right, it must function with absolute
fearlessness.
It's first and most important OBJ
ject, however, is to be right-right,
not in formal, technical sense, but
as a matter of ordinary, everyday
justice.
Has it been right in this case?

" Says:
There Is Just One Issue IN
the SaccO-V dnzettj
Case.
BY NJ. +. Tracy

There is just one issue in the
Sacco-Vanzetti case-did they COM
NIT the murder for which they were
tried and convicted?
The fact they are radicals has
nothing to do with it. Neither does
the fact the case may have been
conducted in accordance with all the
rules.
Justice is the object of law, no
matter what the rules permit or
deny. If rules interfere with it. they
should be changed. What everybody
wants to know, and all that any,
body wants to know, is whether
these men were proved guilty be-
yond a reasonable doubt.
The fact that jury found them
guilty is not necessarily exclusive
proof. Juries have made mistakes
in other cases, and there is no
ground for assuming that this par
ticular one is infallible.

CoH Hldu6 movie.
The story has a lot to do with 1t be-
cause it concerns a certain province
Of Austria when Russia was at
tempting to invade it.. Pola is cast
as loyal Austrian who protects an
Austrian spy, whose duty it was to
get through the Russian lines.
When the Russians arrive at the
Hotel Imperial where Pola is just G
servant the Russian officer in COM
mand attempts TO make Pola his IA
vorite. When a Russian spy is MUIR
dered, the plot gets all mixed up and
Pola and her Austrian sweetheart
are in real danger. The Russians
are forced to make a hasty departure
from the town and the Austrians ar
rive in time to honor Pola.
Here is a pretty good war yarn,
as it gives Miss Negri a chance to
play one of those continental wom-
en- who uses all the arts of her in
nocence. as we'll as beauty, to in
trigue the Russians.
Hotel Imperial is mighty good
theater, as it is packed with many
stirring moments. The star has n
good deal to do as the character she
plays is the real center around which
the story revolves.
I am sure that you will find Pola
Negri at her American best in "Ho-

How should a ''lOne Ina
euchre be played?


The rule is: "A player may only
play alone when he adopts takes
up) orders up or makes a trump. He
cannot, however, play alons with a
trump he has passed, or with
trump the making of which he has
passed; nor can he play alone after
a lead has been made by himself or
by his opponents. A player cannot
play alone when he or his partner is
ordered up by an opponent, or when
the opposite side adopts or makes
the trump. Only those can play
alone who have legally taken the
responsibility of the trump and may
be euchered; therefore, when one
player elects to play alone, neither
of his opponents may play alone
against him."

Larger Problem

Executive interference might solve
the problem so far as Sacco and
Vanzetti are concerned, but it leaves
the larger problem untouched.
We have made a pretty mess of
things, If we have accomplished no
more than to create such a mechan-
ism as the law represents only to
find out that a pardon, or a COM
mutation of sentence is the only way
to correct it's plumbers in a case like
this.
You can think of cases where
haste, carelessness or the defend
ants poverty might leave no loop
hole except executive interference,
but that is hardly true of this one,
or at least it ought not to be.
Not only should the question Of
whether Sacco and Vanzetti are
guilty be cleared up. but likewise the
question Of whether there is any
thing wrong with the system under
which they were tried. If it is a
matter of impractical rules and
presidents, they should be discarded.
IT there was frameup or
perjured evidence, those responsible
should be brought to the bar.
1t would clear up nothing and
satisfy nobody to merely get these
two defendants out of a bad scrape
and forget the matter.
To let them go to their doom
under such cloud Of doubt as now
exists, is almost unthinkable.
Not only they, but the law that
has had them In its clutches for

The story is laid in modern
Spain, in Madrid. In prominent
mems club there it has become the
fashion of the members to rival the
other sex in the technique of
leisure time gossip.
The family of q man high In
diplomatic circles is brought into
the range of these male gossips and
an undercurrent of scandal is started
that finally ruins the mans life and
career.
Navarro is cast as the young
protege of the diplomat and Miss
Terry as the diplomats wife.
The story is started on nothing
but wild imaginings that Jose No
varro is the lover of his friends
wife. Groundless though it is, the
story gains ground and finally comes
to the attention of Joses friend, who
dismisses it as an absurdity.
1t isn't long, however, until the
story has produced an effect. 1t
ruins the friendship of the two men
and retards the political career of
the one. Things happen rapidly,
and shortly a tragedy occurs tracing
directly to the foolish remarks of
few men in a club.
The picture is interesting from
any point of view you may take,
whether it be that of entertainment
or thought. We liked it very much,
and are certain that most Of those
who see it will agree with us.

New York's Strike Threat.

Tomorrow night a meeting or the
employees Of the rapid transit COM
panies Of New York City will be held.
at which, it is expected, an order for
a general strike will be adopted, to
20 into effect Immediately. In an
ticipation of such action, which has
been viewed as likely, inasmuch as
efforts to secure concessions from the
companies have failed, the corpora
tions have prepared for a strike that
will affect between Is 900 and $4,000
men. Strikebreakers have been Sc
cured in numbers from other cities
and are being held in readiness for
the emergency. Provisions have been
made for the care of these men dur.
ing the strike. Officers Of the Anal
gamated Association Of Street and
Electric Railway Employees, claiming
that its membership virtually covers
the personnel OF the Interborough and
Brooklyn Manhattan companies, de-
clare that the walkout will take all
but fifty of the workers from the
lines The company officials, on the
other hand, assert that there are
enough of the operatives who belong

Employees, to keep the lines in opera
ton, with the aid OF additional men.
A strike of the rapid transit work
ers last year kept the big city in
stress for fortnight and was marked
by much disorder. This present strike
Is believed to be actually an effort or
the part of the Amalgamated to force
the recognition of that organization
and to compel the adoption of arbi
tration methods for the settlement OF
wage disputes Specifically, the cause
of the present break Is a demand fol
a revision of the pay scales. The
