Dx 0AAROA, IL LIE
Editor of The Congregationahst
Peter, from almost every point OF
view, is figure of unfailing interest
AS a man one is attracted to him
because of his impetuous and pas
sionate ways. He was leader OF
men, fearless and foremost, always
equal to every emergency but not
always quite achieving the part that
he attempted so that the periods OF
passion and impetuosity were close
.cIy related to periods of discourage
= 1nent and failure.
+: Jesus understood Peter great
deal better than he understood him
self. Jesus knew his strength, but
he knew also Peters great weak
ness even where Peter was hardly
conscious of his own shortcomings
1t was the saving of Peter that Je-
sus understood him and that Je-
sus loved him and was patient with
him.
AS q Christian Peter is fully aas
interesting as in his basal human
character. Even when his life had
become sanctified by Christian faith
and purpose, he revealed still some
thing of these strange and con-
Trajectory elements. His old
prejudices died hard.
In the vision on the housetop he
reminds God that he has never
eaten anything common or I'M
clean, and in his Weakening hours
he needs the distinct rebuke and
inspiration of the vision to induce
him to be Christlike and brotherly
toward Gentle converts to the
Christian way.
His impulsive strength made him
a power on the day of Pentecost as
his preaching convinced men and
women and brought many into the
Christian Church. But, apparently
Peter was more successful as an
evangelist than as a great upbuilder
: of converts into, their new-found
faith. Paul was, apparently, much
more successful in the needed task
of Christian education.
The story of Peter is the story of
the triumph of the, Gospel. Peter
is a great and conspicuous case

Europe, by virtue of their control over

the safety of the billions Of American
dollars invested IN the industries OF
Europe. For this reason they are In

ornaments, altho Coolidge assures us
that he is for an adequate army and

havoc with national budgets. The in
stability Of the budget in turn shakes
up the stability of the national cur
rency and the general stability OF the
nations economic life. Huge foreign
ornaments also carry with them the
danger OF war. The safety of the
American dollar demands the peace
full submission OF the nations of Eu-
rope and the enslavement OF the Eu-
ropean proletariat to the dominance
of American capital. That is why
Coolidge is for disarmament-for the
other fellow.
The opportanism, which is so char
acteristic of capitalist politicians, is
clearly shown in the acrobatic per-
formances of Coolidge. Coolidge de-
clares against large naval construc-

open form.

The Academic Freedom" and Darwin

American universities and what kind
of freedom" is it? Certainly only
college professor could be so de-
luded as to think that there is any
academic freedom in the American
college system. 1t does not take a
long and deep study of American col
leges to reveal how great an illusion
is the idea that freedom Of thought
and teaching prevails.
Any semiintelligent sophomore at
college can see the effect of the muz-
cling attempts of the William Jen-
nings Bryan tribe of Dayton, Tonnes
seeans, is insignificant when COM
pared to the control exerted by the
big muzzlers OF the universities-the
corporations, the bankers, the rail
roads, etc. u The difference between
the two is, perhaps, that the capital
lists don't make as much noise about
their muzzling as the anti-evolution-
lists do. Their work is done behind
the closed doors OF college presidents
Offices and boards of trustee meetings.
The same professors who are so
enraged over the antics of the Ten
nessee christians are apparently ignor-
ant of the greater muzzling.

cause of the "big navy" movement is
the fear Of the growing discomfort

Latin-American countries and In the

threat against American control OF
