TOMORROW'S SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON
Religion and
citizenship
BY REV. EDWARD TABER

The problems Of modern Amer
lea are in part the problems Of
e new civilization. As q nation
we yet are young. In the vast
span Of history, = century and
half Is 3 brief period. During
that century and g half, the
United States has grown to lead
the world in commerce and
wealth.
Nor are we lacking in great
artists, musicians and scientists.
Edison, recently receiving fresh
official recognition for his vast
achievements in invention, Isl
probably the greatest inventive
genius Of all time. He has In
deed played 4 tremendous role
in the creation Of the modern
mechanical civilization.
IL we have no Raphael Of
Michelangelo, we have 9 shou-
sand capable artists, If we nave
no Wagner, we have musicians
Of great ability. Nor are great
writers lacking to carry on the
literary traditions Of the yet
young Republic.
AS d nation, our faults OBJ
viously are the faults Of youth.
The appalling growth Of crime
in recent years is one Of the
outstanding blemishes on our
civilization. It is, most unfor-
tunately, as certain that America
leads the world in crime as that
she leads the world in pr0due-
ton Of automobiles or moving
pictures.
The growth Of the racket
has been as astounding as de-
plorable. Organized crime and
vice, armed with machine guns
and bombs, prey upon legitimate
business.
The value Of the teachings Of
the Bible, as applied to modern
life, Is largely due to the aact,
though the last book Of the
Scriptures was written centuries

ago, they still have 9 message
for our modern civilization.
The Apostle Paul, In the thir-
teenth chapter Of the Epistle To
the Romans, wrote Of the value
Of good citizenship. The Epistle
probably was written from Cor
NTH, and was addressed to the
church in the mighty city Of
Rome. Scholars agree as 70 its
authenticity.
Paul was IN no sense In re-
bellion to the constituted powers
Of his day. He exhOrted his fol-
lowers to render tribute to whom
tribute was due; honor TO whom
honor; custom to whom custom.
The life Of the great Apostle
was . record Of good citizen
ship, Despite the accusations Of
his enemies that he had been in
revolt against the emissaries of
Caesar, he knew that an lln-
biased scrutiny Of his deeds
would reveal that he had never
been guilty Of any act against
the state.
He wrote majestic prose: "The
night is far spent, the day IS at
hand; let US therefore cast off
the works Of darkness, and let
us put on the armor Of light.
Let Us walk honestly, as in the
day."
The Epistle to the Romans
was written shortly before the
journey to Jerusalem that was
to see the great Apostle arrested
on charges Of heresy and srea-.
son.
The charges brought against
Paul were as false as those that
had been brought against Christ
Himself. Both were teachers 81
religion. Neither opposed the
state, both urging the rendering
Of tribute to Caesar. Religion,
Of course, Is not concerned with
politics. II is concerned with
good citizenship.

COL. LINDBERGH TO HOP OFF ON
1000 MILE FLIGHT TUESDAY

CARACAS, Venezuela, Jan. 80 UP
The flag of another country
graced the sides of the spirit of
st. Louis today as Charles A.
Lindbergh made preparations, in
the midst of almost deliriOus fes-
tivities, for a 1,OOO-mile hop to
the Virgin Islands.
While he was receiving the hOm-
age of city that had closed vir-
tually all its business houses to
honor him, the Venezuelan flag
was painted on the fuselage of his
plane, by the side of the flags of
other countries he has visited in
the veteran other half of "We."
Constantly in the midst of fes-
tivitics, the young flyer inquired
of Venezuelan aviation officials if
his plane at NTaracay field were
well guarded and necessary prepara-
tiOns for tOmOrrOw's trip were
continuing. Mechanics removed
gasoline remaining in the tanks
after the flight from BOgota, Col
ombia, yesterday and placed four
barrels of fresh fuel handy for
loading before the take-Off.

HALL OF JUSTICE, LOS ANG-
ELES, Jan. 80 tP)-The life history
of William Edward Hickman's an
cestors in the Arkansas farm country
was uncovered by the defense attor-
neys in his sanity trial today, in
an effort to show alleged traces Of
insanity and "peculiarities" Of his
mother, maternal grandfather and
grandmother.
The disclosures from the Ozark hills
we're brought into the courtroom in
dispositions obtained by Jerome Walsh,
chief defense counsel, who was acs
companied on the deposition hunt by
District Attorneys Deputy James
Costello.
Pictures of grandfather subject
to fits, a grandmother of frail
physique and bed-ridden during her
closing years, were painted in the
depositions of relatives and acquaint-
ances of the Hickman family.
The mother of The kidnapper- killer
of Marian Parker, Mrs. Eva Hickman,
was disclosed as a neurotic type,
attempting suicide by poison when
the father of her five children,
Thomas Hi1man, bestowed his at
tentions on other women.
She was described by relatives as
not .actin9 like the rest of us,
of being sullen and respondent for
three days at a time, and as llecesSar-
lily insane when she took the poison"

Al SMITH IS
ATTACKED As
MACHINE MAN
New York Governor Called
Product and Leader of
Tigers Lair
c.. o. P. LAUDED
Declares Voters Will Ac-
cept Challenge as in
Boss Tweed's Day

: TOPEKA, Kan, Jan. 80 R.-Carry
ing into the niddle-weSt his fight on
Governor AL Smith, whom he declared
the democratic party "is preparing to
run for president" Colonel Theodore
Roosevelt charged here tonight that,
through the New York executive, Tam
many Hall was seeking control of the
White House and the nation.
Coupled with his assault on Cover
nor Smith, the former assistant secre-
tary of the navy struck at religious
intolerance, advocating a plank in the
republican platform declaring that mo
man shall be given or denied public
office because of his religious beliefs. 7
1--WE want no Senator Heflin in the
republican party" he said in reference
bama who has attacked Governor
Smith end the Roman Catholic
church.
Colonel Roosevelt addressed 1900 re-
publicans as the principal speaker OF
the annual dinner of the Kansas Day
club.
The son of the former president
lauded mplishments of the repub-
lican administration since 1921, as
sailed huge campaign expenditures, ad-
vocated party declarations on farm
relief and prohibition enforcement, and
turned his guns on policies OF the
democratic party
But he reserved the heaviest fire for
the democratic organization of New
York City, which he declared was COR
rupt. and the man who defeated him
for the governorship Of New York in
1924.
Colonel Roosevelt declared Tammany
Hall had changed little from the days
of BOSS Tweed, that it. had sub
iected New York City and state to its
rule and now was gathering itself for
a further effort, an attempt on the
nation"
And Governor Smith, he added, was
a product and leader OF Tammany
Hall, who had stated he was proud
to be a member of the Organization.
He said he did not question the per-
sonal integrity of Governor Smith, but
that the governor was guilty at least
of "sins of omission, y because he had
not acted when it lay in his power TO
prevent alleged graft by Tammany
Hall
He said he was confident the voters
would accept the new challenge of the
organization as they did in Boss
Tweed's day, when American splrlt
famed and Tammany and all that IL
stood for was driven back to the
haunts on Fourteenth street"
Taking up republican problems, Col
onel Roosevelt declared the party must
take a firm stand on religious toler-
ance, corrupt elections, farm relief
and the prohibition question.

asked something in return Lind
bergh looked puzzled, scratched his
head, then took small piece Of
paper and wrote on it three times
"Charlie Lindbergh." He gave it

gratiating smile.
Among tOday's ceremonies was
visit in the afternoon to the Pan

liberator. Other incidents of the
day included a visit to the Ameri-
can legation and a luncheon at

rain of flowers, confetti and paper
ribbons greeted him on his arrival

everywhere he went while in the
city.

CONGRESS BEGINS
WEEK BY DEBATES
ON VARIOUS BILLS
Vote on Merchant Marine
Bill Postponed Until
Tuesday by Senate

WASHINGTON, Jan. 80 tR-Con-
gress began the week today by paying
strict attention to business. Both
houses plunged away on bills under
discussion with debate confined to
those measures
While this atmosphere was helpful
to the legislative program, the senate
failed TO make it's anticipated speed
with the merchant marine bill and
postponed a vote until tomorrow.
There seems no doubt that the meas
ure, which is in flat contradiction Of
administration policy for early dis
posal of the government merchant
fleet to private interests, will pass. 1t
Whs held up today, however, by a
bombardment of protest from both
coasts, voiced by Copeland, democrat,
New York, and Shortridge, republican,
California
The house put in the day on a bill
designed to ease the road of those
who have small claims against the
government. It's purpose is to place
property claims of $4,000 or less on all
fours with contract claims and the
Importance which house members at
tach to, the subject was testified by a
substantial showing of members on the
flour throughout the discussion.
The army bill, next of the big annual
supply measures to come up, is due out
of committee tomorrow and will be
given right of way in the house. 1t
has no highly controversial aspect this
year, but invariably leads to a wide
range of debate.
Committees of both houses were hard
at work during the day and one step
was taken designed to expedite pro-
cedure for the next great political
wrangle in the senate, the case of Sen
ator- elect Ware of Pennsylvania. By
agreement the two senate committees
