In the heat of a presidential cam

tariff, and the issue Of farm relief

neither speakers nor political writ

The Lower Rio Grande Valley diff

section Of the United States in that

commodities for which markets must

which form the major part Of the
Valleys production, have practically

the domestic markets. In recent

DON'T STREW
KS,'LUDLOW
RepreSentative-EIeCt Urges
Parties to Back Leslie.

Democrats, in defeat, share with
Republicans, in victory, responsible
ity for conduct of the states affairs
during the coming four years Of
Republican reign. Louis Ludlow,
representative-elect, told Jefferson
Club members at the Denison, Fri
day night.
Drawing a state parallel from
Governor Smiths valedictory radio
address, Ludlow implored Democrats
to regard Harry G.. Leslie, Republ-
can Governor elect, as the Gov
ernor, not of the Republican party,
but of Indiana" and not to strew
his path with political tacks."
At the same time, Democrats were
but only "for the purpose of being
enjoined to be watchful and critical,
constructive and helpful to the
state"
Ludlow gave as the topic of his
address, Keep the Democratic Rec
ord Straight" which, he said, might
appropriately have been the title
of Smiths final radio address.
He described two schools of par
tisan politics.; one concluding, Our
opponents have won, let them run
the shooting match and take the
blame for their misdeeds;" the other
advocating, LET us spread all the
tackS we can in the way of our
successful opponents. Let us make
all the trouble we can and embarass
them all we can. That's good poll
tics"
There is no patriotism in such a
course of action" Ludlow declared.
THE people are not dumb bells, and
the party that resorts to such mi
nor and mapor obstructive tactics
soon, without realizing it, shares
the peoples disgust which ordinarily
would be visited solely upon the
party in power if it misbehaves."

Sunday School Lesson

We may be glad of Pauls arrest
and Of this permission, for it has
brought into our scripture records
biographical account of Paul,
which is the most valuable that we
possess, and which, taken in con-
nection with PaulS writings in
other passages, gives us more
complete picture of Paul as an
early Christian leader than we
possess of any of the other found
ers of the Christian church.
However, Paul's account of his
religious experience and defense of
his present faith did not appease the
wrath of the mob. When he spoke
of his divine commission to go and
preach to the Gentiles, Jewish
prejudice broke out in all its fury,
and as the mob clamored for Paul's
life, the chief captain brought him
into the castle for safety and that
he might inquire more fully con-
corning the facts.
Paul was about to be bound for
scourging, but his inquiry as to the
lawfulneSS of scourging an uncon-
delnned Roman brought consterna-
ton to the centurion who was
directing proceedings, and to the
chief captain in authority over him.
TIE chief captain came and in
quired about Pauls citizenship.
1t was moment, perhaps, of JUS
tifiable pride for Paul. When Paul
assured the chief captain that he
was Roman citizen and the cap
tain incredulously answered, with
great sum obtained I this free
dom," Paul must have felt pardon
able superiority as he said, But I
was free-born."
Paul set so little upon earthly
grandeur and privilege that one can
readily understand the spirit in
which he made his boast. Under
the circumstances it gave him a
very marked advantage, and appar-
entity, it also secured for him a
measure of justice that he might
not otherwise have had.
Our lesson leaves the incident at
this stage, but the following chap
ter goes on to tell the story Of
PauPs accusation by the chief
priests and the Jewish council and
Paul's defense before those of his
own religion and race. The fact of
the matter is that Palu'S arrest at
this time is the beginning Of mo-
mentous experiences and conse-
quences.
Fre appears successfully before
various individuals and tribunals,
the most valuable product of these
experiences being the record of his
addresses on these occasions. But
the action now begin ultimately led
him to Rome and to the imprison-
ment there with all that deep ex-
perience that has come down to the
-church in such Epistles as the let
tiers to the Ephesians and to the
Philippians.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 17.-Charg-

PROSPERITY TO
WINTER IN u. S.,
EXPERTS SAY
Industrial, Coal and Tex
tiles Show Increased
Activity.
BY RAY TUCKER
Tin,ee StaR

WASHINGTON, Nov. 17.-Evi-
dence that the present range of
prosperity will continue through the
winter was found today by govern
ment experts and economists in re-
ports of industrial and business
conditions throughout the country.
AS most of the basic statistics
were gathered during September
and October, with a national cleo
ton just around the corner, Presi-
dent Coolidge and his cabinet as
sociates find increased assurance
that existing conditions will remain.
Retail Trade Brisk
Almost all industrial and COM
mercial lines are active, even the
coal and textile industries show
some signs of recovery, and en-
ployment is on the upgrade.
Most of the improvement Is
shown in industries often regarded
as barometers, including iron and
steel. automobile manufacture and
railroads.
Postodice reports reflect increased
avtivity at fifty centers, indicating
retail trade is brisk. Increased car
loadings alos are reported.
Seasonal activities, including stores
and factories preparing for the
Christmas holidays and fruit and
vegetable harvesting, provided en-
ployment for thousands.
Ship Yards Improve
In such centers as New York and
Pennsylvania, the surplus of labor
at the end of October consisted
mainly of unskilled laborers. In
such basic industries as metal trades
and factories manufacturing cleo
trical equipment, agricultural ma
chinery and machine tolls, the de-
mand for labor was greater than the
supply.
A significant development was the
operation of most Of the iron and
steel mills at about 80 per cent
capacity. A slight increased of
workers was noted in locomotive
works, while railroads tok on adj
ditional employers. Ship yards also
reported greater demand for marine
machiniStS.

BY VIM. E. GILROY, d. d.
Editor of The COngregatiOnaIist

WE have seen Paul in the lesson
w of Oct. % taking farewell of
the elders of the church at Miletus,
on the eve of his last journey to
Jerusalem.
At that time, though the future
was not clearly revealed to Paul,
he felt the consciousness Of tragedy
and destiny in his going; but he
felt, apparently, an equal obligation
to go.
He was true that bonds and af-
f1ictions were awaiting him, but he
was conscious of a witness that he
must give and that his Sufferings
would turn out for the furtherance
of the Gospel.
Now, in Jerusalem, what Paul had
predicted was coming true. Paul
had come to Jerusalem under a vow,
and, in accordance with custom, had
Shorn his head. At the suggestion
of church leaders in Jerusalem he
had accompanied others who were
under a VOW in going into the
temple.
Apparently this proposal had been
made with view to Paul's protec-
ton, but, as often happens, meas
ureS pursued as a sort of COM
promise turn out to be most dis
aStrous in the long run. Where
Paul had committed himself so
fully to the Gospel, and to its proc
lamation to gentiles, and to the re-
ception of gentiles into the Chris
tian church, it is strange that he
should have lapsed back into formal
judaistic observances such as this
shaving of his head.
At any rate. it was his liberal
spirit which was the basis of at
tack upon him. Being seen in the
temple by his enemies he was &C
cuSed of having brought Greeks
into the sacred edifice. He was
seized by the mob, and either res
cued, or arrested, by Roman SOL
dierS when his enemies were about
to kill him. The Romans had ar
rived on the scene in response to
an urgency call that "all Jerusa-
lem was In an uproar."
The hand of Roman law was
firm, but it was the hand of law.
The chief captain commanded that
Paul should be bound with two
chains, evidently under the as
sumption that he had rather dan
gerous fanatic to deal with. He
supposed that Paul was an Egyp-
tan who had formerly gathered to
himself a dangerous company and
made considerable uproar.
But when he found that he was
mistaken, and that Paul was Jew
of Tarsus, the Roman captain not
only gave him better treatment, but
permitted him in response to his
request to speak to the people.
