BY VIM. K. GILROY, ID. ID.
Editor Of The Congregationalist)
No. story could be more definite
or sweeping in its application TO
present problems and situations in
the world than the story Of Peters
vision on the housetop. Sectional
and racial prejudiceS are still eX-
IRENE in the world, and a Chris
tianity that theoretically acknow-
Lodges the love Of God for all men.
and the power OF the Gospel 10
bless and save all men without dis
tinction, seriously breaks down
when it comes 10 deal with prac-
teal situations both as regards in
divlduals and groups. This Is true
here in America. as in India and in
South Africa and in other zones OF
conflict. Perhaps one of our weak
nesseS at the present time, as
Americans, Is our readiness to sug-
gest how these problems may be
solved by Great Britain and othe
countries while we disregard our
failure to solve them at our very
door and within our own house.
Peter was in the same situation
as many processing Christians to-
day. A new and enriching expert
ence Of religion had come to him,

'PO|SONSUPPER'
To b STAGED

SENECA, ILL.,, Nov. 9 U.S0.-A
dramatic re-enaction of the fatal
poison supper which cost the
life of pretty 14-year-old Marian
Walker, Seneca High School girl,
was ordered today by LaSalle
county officials.
Mrs. Walker, the mother, lay in
bed, passive under the insiStent
questioning of the police. She
kept repeating DULY:
81 didn't do it. How. could
I? I don't even know what
arsenic looks like"
To Re-Enact Scene
It is the plan Of the authorities
that the four surviving members
of the family shall sit in their
little dining-room exactly as they
did on the fateful twilight eve
ming two weeks ago and dupli-
cate their last meal together be-
fore the eyes Of a coroner's jury.
This spectacular step was de-
cided upon by Coroner L. D.
Howe after the search for the
person who murdered Marian and
nearly succeeded in poisoning her
elder sisters, Caroline, "a, and
Marjorie, 81, had failed.
It is hoped that the familiar
surroundings Of the carefully
staged meal will revive suffi-
GENTLY the memories of the vic
tins so that an accurate estimate
of what each one ate that eve
ming can be made.
Enough to Kill Four
William D. McNally, noted Chi.
cago toxicologiSt who examined
the contents of Marian's stomach,
told Coroner Howe:
There was enough poison to
kill four adults"
Caroline, the daughter who is
still critically i'll from the effects
of the poison, was quick to defend
her mother. She said:
