Silly Censorship

There has been no public spectacle, for many years
silly as that in the senate of the United States
when the question of customs censorship of books
was debated and determined.
Like children trying to frighten themselves at
Halloween, grown shuddered and shouted and
shook their fists at imaginary bogies.
Ignorance and intolerance won, though these are
forces which have no place in such body.
Customs officials will continue to seize books in
which they feel they have observed obscenty. They
viii assume too, new toll. and watch now for the
faint of treason.
Innocuous indeed, will be the books which reach
us finally from foreign shores
The Smoot censorship amendment finally adopted
though somewhat less severe than when It was first
proposed, retains its most Objectionable features
1t substitutes federal court with jury for the
customs court as place of appeal from customs sez-
ures and gives the secretary of treasury the right
to admit classics" within his discretion but in other
respects it is more drastic than the present law.
Thus to censor thought and literary expression of
countries other than our own can harm no one but
ourselves, but 1t scarcely can fail to harm u.s.
Enforced literally, such procedure would cut us off
from the ideas Of the rest of the world deprive lis
of important scientific information and leave us
without basis for judging and evaluatng ourselves
and those about us Enforced less literally it opens
a new avenue of bootleg endeavor
Some time an adult majority in congress will re-
peal this law.

Temperature Shifts Affect Health

Election from the snow or in other
ways.
Workers in factory districts in our
smokiest cities get little sunlight and
this has a direct effect on their
health.
No one has measured exactly the
upper limits of tolerance for sun
light, but it is known definitely that
there is an upper limit, because dis
ease appears when the limit is ap-
preached.
1t has been argued that the SUM-
light of the tropical regions is ia
tai for white men, but the effects OF
light must be separated from the
heat and other hazards of the trop-
les.
In his analysis Of temperature
curves. Professor Huntington offers
convincing evidence that sudden
changes Of temperature are much
more likely to be associated with
disease than temperatures that are
constantly warm or cold or even.
He feels that If we could make
our furnaces and windows keep pace
with the weather, we probably
would avoid good deal of the re-
spiratory disease that now repre-
sents one of the most serious haz-
ards to the health Of mankind.

It remains mythical concept. 1t
can not survive without very lively
act of faith upon the part of the
multitude, and it is even necessary
to accept the supernatural.
Religion is assailed by the Rus
slams as irrational and superstitious
But it is wholly within the ordinary
logical scope of the individual to
admit, I'm myself 1 am nothing but
a poor and miserable sinner, whose
existence has no excuse save by the
grace and mercy of the state"
I think it is not. Granted that
any clear conception of the Creator
is difficult, I must insist that this
is equally true in making the state
the father of all living.
Theologically speaking, there is
nothing of modernism in this new
national religion of the Russians.
1t is even more old-fashionsd
than the faith of our own so-caIled
fundamentalists. There is the same
or an even greater, preoccupation
with orthodoxy. Russia has hummed
for ten years with the violence Of
hearings which were in very pre-
else sense trials for heresy.

But to the Soviet mind the mild

Russia, in it's present adventure
with new religion, has gone back

to find the sources of its faith in the
Old Testament, not the New. We
again have the conception of a

harly and specially favored above
all others.

I'm March 10, 1913, David Liv-
~ ingstone, famous missionary
and explorer. and said to be the
first to lift the veil from the Clark
continent" was born at Blantyre,
Scotland.
First interested in missionary
work by attending theological lee
lures at Anderson college, where he
was studying medicine, young Liv-
ingstone decided to go to Africa as
medical missionary.
In his colorful exploration there,
which were marked with privations
and suffering, he discovered many
new lakes and rivers.
After a visit to England, where
he was acclaimed wildly, Living
stone determined he would return
to Africa to find the true source
Of the Nile.
He got lost on this expedition and
H. NJ. Stanley, with a relief party
sponsored by James Gordon Ben-

sent to find him. Stanley found
Livingstone, but was unable to in
duce him to return to Europe.
Exha, lsted by continued hard
ship, Livingstone died among
friendly natives, who cut out his
heart and buried it at the foot of
the tree beneath the branches of
which he died.

Sea Snakes

DUT while sea serpents are ruled
I'D out of existence by the progress
Of science, oceanograp hic research
has revealed the existence Of sea
snakes.
Snakes are found in the ocean as
we'll as on land and in fresh waters.
The sea snakes are found along
the shores of the Indian ocean and
the tropical portions of the Pacific
ocean, including the western coast
of tropical America.
Most sea snakes average between
three and four feet in length,
though some reach a length Of nine
feet.
Most OF them have dull blush
backs and yellowish bellies. They
have small heads and the body is
more slender near the head, In
creasing in size and becoming fiat
ter near the tail. The tail is fiat
tened and f1n-like.
The sea snakes are very poison
GUS but they seldom bite. In gen
eral, they prefer flight to fighting
They live on fish. A number Of
the fish which they eat have strong
spines on them. These spines will
protrude through the skin Of the
snake, but apparently do the snake
no harm, falling off after the snake
has digested the fish.
Like other creatures Of the sea,
the sea snakes are troubled by par
asites. and specimens frequently are
found covered with barnacles and
saaWeed.

BRINGING HIDDEN SELF TO
LIGHT
Read John 1924. Memory
verse: 81, if I be lifted up from the
earth, will draw all men unto my
SELF" John 1922
MEDITATION
Jesus does not only draw men
up, but He draws them out. Freu-
dianism talks much about our
buried selves. There are dark worlds
within us; but there are also bright
worlds there. Buried in every man
is an artist and a hero, longing for
self expression. The key to these
hidden selves is the imagination.
When Christ stands before us, the
best that is in us rises and comes
forth to meet Him. Standing be-
fore the tomb of habit and conven-
ton In which our truest selves lie
imprisoned, He calls as He did to
Lazarus-"Come forth" and the best
within us hears the call and an
swers it.
PRAYER
o thou who hast written thy law
in mems hearts, we thank thee for
the image of our better selves that
sweetIy haunts us. Stand before US
that our truer, finer nature may see
thee and come forth to dwell among
mem In Christ'S name. Amen.

a WRITER in the New York
N World, in writing about Rus
STA and religion the other day, made
what seemed to me a sage remark.
Although he professed no great re-
ligious fervor on his own account,
he expressed the belief that the
Soviets were doing a wrong and a
foolish thing.
1t seemed to him that forbidding
a poor man his religion was like
taking away dock laborer's glass
of beer.

pairing this Russian prohibition with
our own. There is spiritual kin

Most of the sea serpents, however.
were giant squid floating on sur
face of the sea in a dead or dying
condition.
THE largest Of these giant squid
occasionally is found floating in the
autumn on the fishing banks" DR.
Clark says.
THE squid found on the fishing
banks reach a total length of at
least fifty-five feet. The body may
be as much as twenty-five feet long
and twelve feet in circumference,
with the eye opening seven by nine
inches.
I'm one individual measured the
tentacular arms were thirty-seven
feet in length
In October, 1875, between twenty
five and thirty of these giant squid
we're found by the vessels of the
Gloucester fishing fleet on Grand
Banks.
Our knowledge of the creatures
of the sea is now sufficiently eX-
tensive to enable us to state with
no fear of contradiction. that the
sea serpent is wholly a product of
the Imagination which, under the
stimulus Of sudden fright, endows
well-known sea creatures with va
rious fancied and fantastic attri-
butes."

MuScoYite Jones Law

1T is probably true that some OF
4 the rigors of the Russian regime
have been exaggerated, but it is not
unfair to assume that they will
grow more violent with the passage
of time.
Like our drys, the anti-religion-
lists of Russia have spoken a good
deal about what may be achieved
through education, and then have
manifested a lively impotence al
the interval which is imposed by
any such procedure.
The trouble with all who have
faith in formulate is that when diff
flculties arise, the failure never is
blamed on the plan itself, but al
ways on the populace.
The old heresy that opinion can
be regimented into line by penalties
and punishments still persists. In
deed, I am surprised at the Com
munist belief that the men OF Mos
COW are treading paths upon which
no footprints lie.
Much OF the SQ-caIleQ RUSSIAN
experiment is old stuff. The Reds
of the left wing have no right tt
the contempt which they so freely
express concerning Norman Thoma!
and other leaders of the Socialis'
party.
The program of Thomas and hi
associates is actually far more
radical than that Of Russia, because
it does contemplate remaking o.
the mental attitude of the entire
community.
It is not gospel to be preached
merely to the elect. The brother

A THOUGH every one knows
L a that hot weather affects per-
son one way and cold weather an
other, few people realize the definite
effects associated with sudden and
frequent changes of temperature.
Humidity unquestionably is of
just as much importance as is tenn

have any realization of what the
term means.
When the temperature is 10 de-
grees Fahrenheit, the air feels
warm, particularly il there is much
moisture in it, but if this air is dry,
it feels quite cool because the dry
air causes evaporation of water
from the surface Of the body.
Various forms of life are affected
in different ways by heat and by
cold. Frogs can be frozen stiff and

out. Human beings can Withstand
very low degrees of temperature
and still recover.
