8 RELIGIOUS ANN0 CErENTSA
CHE Church and Che Aoe

We are frequently told that
the age in which we live Is
devoted primarily to the ma
chine; that ours is almost COM
pletely a machine civilization.
We are told that Americans
possess the love Of money to an
alarming degree; that this love
Of money has influenced our
lives in a deleterious way.
The records Of the time would
seem to prove that Americans
rather than being possessed Of an
inordinate love of money are
given, more than any people on
earth, to the lavish spending
of it.
And it hardly can be claimed
with justice that Americans are
any more lacking in appreciation
Of the things Of the spirit than
other peoples.
1t is true that we do not ex-
press, as q people, our religion in
terms Of regular church going as
much as we might. No doubt we
are thereby the loser. For there
Is a deep-rooted need for corpo
rate worship. Nothing can take
The Washington times., 1930-07-05

lthe place Of the altar in the min.
iStrations Of religion.
In 50 far, however, as religion
can be expressed outside Of the
church it Is expressed in Amer
lea. The radio, the daily press,
the magazines, all carrying many
articles or devote much time to
the general theme of religion.
The machine that so many see
as the enemy Of the things of
the spirit appears to others, and
1t would appear with Justification,
as the liberator Of the spirit.
The machine creates rather than
destroys. It Is true that in this,
our imperfect world, the machine
sometimes gets out Of hand, kills,
mains. destroys.
But with the new freedom born
Of the machine, with the leisure
1t alone can give. men have new
opportunities for the development
Of cultural and spiritual things.
With a new and higher standard
Of living. the masses of men have
time, not only for the cultivation
Of art, music, literature, science,
but for the meditation that Is
closely associated with religion.

Bee SLDGrnas DOuse
RiUer BuOUs, Burn

RICHMOND. Va. July S.
Swarms Of bees put two James
River gas buoys out of commits
sion by filling the interior of the
lanterns and choking the apper-
lures supplying air for the acety.
lene burners, but the lanterns
proved inhospitable abodes.
Before the acetylene flames
flickered out, thousands of the
insects had their. wings burned
off, and more thousands crowded
up the air passages until they

erell, c. G. Grammer George Marberry, Rein
Arnold, Peter Little John Dom, Samuel Robin
son and Abner H. Young
The Intelligencer of January states:
Yesterday expected to come on in our
Circuit Court, still setting the trial of Henry
White (brother of Richard H. White, already
once tried) upon an indictment for burning the
Treasury Building in the City OF Washington
in the Spring of the year 1888. Upon the
motion of the district attorney, however, Rich
ard H White again arraigned for trial (the
jury not having agreed upon his former triaD.
Much difficulty was experienced in getting
jury, in consequence of persons summoned as
jurors having made up their minds on the
case"
In the address to the jury the counsel for the
Government said he expected to show:
First, that the Treasury Building was burnt,
and in that building there was great number
of papers relating to pensions, which papers
were fraudulent and forged.
Second, that these papers, which it an
object to destroy, were not destroyed, but eS-
capped in very surprising manner, the wrong
room being fired
Third, the disclosures made proved that the
prisoner adverted to the above escape of the
papers; that he confessed not to have fully
accomplished his object through some misman-
agement and in consequence of this he did not
receive the full amount of compensation
Fourth, it would appear that the fact of this
failure could not have been known to the
witness and therefore the peculiar circum-
stance of the escape of the fraudulent papers
in the fire at Washington went to corroborate
the evidence given by a witness at distant
place who could not have known any of the
particulars of the fire.
Fifth, it would next be given in evidence that
the Winter preceding the fire the prisoner,
White, came to Washington, where he remained
all the Winter without any business, and that
on the evening of the fire he and his brother
went to boarding house, having packed up
their furniture and sent it away and that they
went out from the boarding house at or
O'Clock in gig.
Sixth, it would be shown that the causes
they assigned for leaving the boarding house
and going to Baltimore were contradcted by

a verdict of guilty secured. resume of the
trial printed at the time tells u.s.
THE trial of the prisoner came up on Thurs
day, the 18th instant, Immediately after the
trial of his brother and while the jury in that
case were still celebrating upon their verdict.
