Greater Love

Let me tell you the story Of
Damien, Dutton and D'Orgue-
val, and as I do I would have
you remember that hundreds of
men and women, clergy, doc
tors and nurses, have shared
their trials and tribulations,
have walled themselves up in
the sacrifice which goes even
beyond the precept of Him who
said, Greater love than this
hath no man shown"
It was back in 1873 that
Father Damien first went
among the lepers in Molokai.
And then they were the self
same outcasts that they had
been ages before when they
accoSted the Gallilean on the
dusty road beyond the walls of
Jerusalem and begged that they
be made clean.
Rotting, bounded and terri
fled, they hid themselves in
the hills to avoid the concen-
tration camp where, when they
were captured, they we're left to
rot and die without benefit of
man or God.
Soon this Belgian peasant
priest, called by Sir Hugh Cliff
ford "the single star of hope in
a long night of human misery"
had a shamed world looking to
the Sandwich Island, as the
Hawaiian group was then
known. And then it was that
the word came to Lieut.. Ira
Barnes Dutton, of the Thir-
teenth Wisconsin Volunteers,
who, separated from his wife,
was playing the gallant in and
around Clarksville, Tenn. where,
as a result of his services in
the War of the States, he was
stationed as a Government
agent.
There are some very old Ia
dies yet in Clarksville who re-
member the Captain Dutton

flutters in the young female
hearts of the countryside, who

Congressional Probes Will
Progress During Summer
-Bu James T. Williams, Jr.-

Although the extra session Of
the Congress has adjourned and
the Congress will not convene
in regular session until next
January, several of its COM
mittees will keep the home
fires burning" by conducting
important Investigations during
the interim.
Outstanding among these in
quirieS, at which facts will be
developed as a basis for legiSla-
ton and a guide for administra-
ton, are three:
First, the investigation by the
Senate Committee on Finance
Of private banking.
Second, the investigation by
the Senate Committee on Com
merce of the crime of racketeer-
ing and the curse of racketeers.
Third, the investigation by
the Committees Of the Judiciary
Of the two Houses into the
practices of the Federal judici-
ary in regard to receiverships.
The banking investigation is
off to a good start and will be
carried forward through the
summer and autumn until all
the leading private banking
firms have been subjected to a
searching examination Of every
phase of their activities.

given his soul for money.
There was nothing left of Old

And Mrs. Houghton-she

was such a fussy housekeeper
that her husband "dasn't call

But not all the "other gods"

other silly, vicious desires that
filled the hearts of men and
women. And you broke the law
as surely if you put them be-
fore the One True God-and
were as terribly punished.
Love. Sacrifice. Work.
Thought. Even these shining,
noble things could become
"Other Gods" if you held them
too dear. They could devour
your life, as surely as any jun
gle monster of clay, if you gave
so much of yourself to them
that you forgot the ONE GOD,
which was Life.

If you put the things YOU

OF LIFE-LIFE FOR EVERY
ONE-then you had "other
gods," and you went away from
life, and your heart dried up
and rotted in you. like a branch
that has been cut off from a
tree.
That was the law-and that
was the punishment.
But how long it took us to
learn it, my dear; and what a
terrible r4'ice we paid! What a
terrible price the whole world
is payihg-mourning it's lost

That done, she turned to her con-

He had not had his second piece

less of her! Miss Ella smiled,
cajoling him, for to her he was u
boy. He took. the second piece
with as much enthusiasm as he
could muster.
Then she began the story ar
old one he knew well. Miss Ella
wanted to leave her fortune
where It would do good. She
was fond OF her niece, Bessie, who
had married Jim Thorpe but she
