NYE uses PARABLE
OF BALKAN AND ASS
TO DESCRIBE GROUP
Pictures eraying 'Jackass'
Bosses as Riding Party to
Certain Disaster

New York, Jan. l3.-F-The par
able of BALKAN and his ass was used
last night by Senator Nye. Of North
Dakota, at the labor temple here to
answer the description of the rebel
western Republicans Of the party in
the senate as the sons Of the wild
jackass." +
Senator Nye related how the angel
Of the Lord was sent to head off Ba-
laam, riding on his ass to put . curse
upon the children Of Israel, and how
Balaaln failed to see the angle al
though the IS did. Blind to the
warning. Balaam smote the ass when
It finally fell down and refused to
advance against the angel.
"Of course" said the North Dako-
tan, the story has Z happy ending.
Balaam's eyes were finally opened by
the Lord, and he saw the angel and
perceived his great error. Not before
he had wrongfully punished hts ass,
true. but before he had gone too far
on the way which was perverse to his
Lord.
Prods Boss JachasSes
us it too late for our tame jackass
party bosses to open their eyes and
perceive that they are riding their
party to certain disaster regardless OF
the braying and the urging and ad-
vising Of their wild jackass brothers?
But the story Of BALKAN and his
ass is not yet complete. for before
Balaam saw what the fuss was all
about his ass inquired. am I not
thine ass, upon which thou hast rid
den ever since I was thine unto this
day?' BALKAN answered nay!"
"What do our blind party BalaAms
answer when the senate wild jack
asses ask: "Have not We and our peo-
pie, who you call wild jackasses been
faithful in time Of need and stress to
thee and the party? Hast thou not
ridden US ever since we were thine
unto this day? Hast thou not rid
den US about enough? Is 1t not high
time that thee and thine gave us q
bit Of nourishment not altogether
unlike that upon which thou and
thine has grown plump and comfort
able?"
Like Balaam's Of Old
There are Balaams I'm politics who
are much like the BalaAm os old. And

Sunday School Lesson

not so much with evil intention as
with sheer sIackness and failure to
do things at the proper time and
in the proper way.
Nothing is clearer than the fact
that the foolish virgins meant no
disrespect to the wedding occasion.
No one was more surprised than
themselves at their lack of oil in
their lamps. and they took the easy
way out of trying to share with the
wise and we'll prepared virgins.
Unpreparedness has way of
leaning ON, and to that extent pena-
lizing, those who are efficient and
prepared. The world is full of those
who not only neglect their own
duty, but hamper and limit others
in the fulfillment OF their task. Our
weaknesses help to destroy the
strength of others.
The hopeless discontinue of the
foolish virgins illustrates the ire
vocable nature of human derelic-
ton. There are things that, left
undone at the proper time, can
never be done. One need not read
into this story any denial of Gods
prerogative of mercy, here or here
after, but the plain fact is empha-
sized that even repentance can
never restore a situation that once
lost is irrevocably lost. The soul
may. survive and recover, but it can
never fully recover what was the
souls full privilege.

I know that when I acted upon
requests of readers of this depart
ment who seriously desire stock pro-
auctions and began to take poll
whether Charles Berkell would be
supported, I received hundreds of
letters from readers.
just this week, 1 received more
letters from people stating they
were willing and ready to sign and
pay up for season seats in advance.
I honestly believe that there is a
field for stock during the winter.
Hot legitimate theaters without
cooling systems can not compete
with the splendidly cooled movie
tkeaterS in this city in the summer.
hope that Stuart Walker can be
assured of sufficient support to open
a season at English's in the fall.
Nothing definite has been given
out either by Walker or Berkell.

out with Roltare Eggleston to the
undertakers exhibit at the state
fairgrounds this week Eggleston
went out with two girl entertainers
that he had booked to play the ac-
cordians and sing. 1t sure was a
strange sight to see these beautl-
fully dressed girls in short skirts
going around the collins and the

A question is asked: ''What did
YOU like best at the Civic Theater
this season?" My answer is "The
Racket" as it is the best done pro-
duction that the Civic has given in
the last five years. 1t is bully thea
ter and has been we'll attended. 1t
deserved capacity at every perform
ance. Next to ''Ten Nights in
Barroom, it probably did the big
gest gross business of the season.
Another question: Who is going
to show All Quiet on the Western
Front in this city?" I do not know.
1t is my impression that it has not
been definitely sold to any theater
IN this city as yet. Even as you
read this, it might be different.

The International Uniform Sunday
School Lesson for May %. Chr1stan
Prepa redness. Matt. 25:l-l3.
BY VIM. E. GILROY, d. ID.
Editor of The Congregationalist

"DREPAREDNESS" is a subject
Il of which we have heard a
great deal in recent years and con-
cerning which there has been very
much difference of opinion.
In relation to the safety of the
state and the maintenance of mill
tary strength as means of safety.
there has been wide difference OF
opinion. There are those who share
Napoleon's cynical idea that God
is on the side of the great battal-
ions"-an idea that brought ulti-
mate disaster in Napoleon's career
and that for the most part has
brought disaster to every people in
history who have trusted to the
word. There are those who believe
rat preparedness in the state and
Aciety is rooted deeper in the pro-
otion of friendship and in the
.4evelopment of those sound ideals
and virtues without which there can
not be a great and true society.
Prepared for Anything
Here in our lesson, however, We
are reminded that preparedness has
a personal and spiritual significance.
There is a sense in which there is
q sound philosophy of preparedness
without reference to the thing for
which one is to be prepared. There
is in life a general slackness and in
efficiency that would be fatal to any
enterprise and that is essentially the
denial of strength of character,
quite independently of the ends to
which character may be directed.
There is a moral discipline Of life
upon which all success in any
achievement depends. and without
preparedness there is no guaranty
that one can meet situations OF diff
f1culty as they arise.
AS with most of his teaching,
Jesus enforced this matter not by
theory but by a very effective illus
tration, an illustration that has be-
come ingrained in literature and in
our thought-the wise and foolish
virgins going forth to meet the
bridegroom facing this great occa-
sion so differently where one might
have supposed that the occasion it
self would have ensured the fullest
preparation.
It is easy to emphasize the fool
ishneSS of the foolish virgins, to
wonder how they could have per-
petrated anything so ridiculous, and
yet the man or woman who has been
! stranded some distance from I'LL
irg station in these automobile days
can not scoff at the foolish virgins.
Perhaps We should discover ex-
actly the sort Of teaching that Jesus
meant to emphasize if We realize
that the Illustration that he uSed
applied to his own day just as the
illustration of an automobilist who
had passed many filling stations.
only to run out Of oil in a crisis,
might illustrate the matter today.
Preparation is matter of fore
handedness. 1t is a matter of dis
cipline and calculation. If it in
volved no thought. there would be
nothing special to prepare for.
It is almost impossible to discuss
a lesson like this without dealing
almost entirely in platitudeS and
commonplace. yet these platitudeS
and commonplaceS relate to the
most important &and ordinary cir
cumStances of life. Loss and even
tragedy are constantly associated
