Acts, TX: pt. llth verse: "The stree,
which Is called Straight
An unconfused life Is one that follow
. reasonably straight course. A con.
fused and embarrassed life u one that
lacks directness and, lacking this, has
no fixed objective. No narrative In the
New Testament Is much more interest
ing and suggestive than that which re-
counts the story Of the life Of Saul Of
TaYsus. This man was not only one
Of the great scholars Of his time, but
he was, as well. free-born Roman
citizen and an intense zealot Of the
Jewish church. So strong was his con-
viction concerning the Righteousness
Of his cause that he became the aggres-
Christian church. Not satisfied with
using all his powers to defeat 1t in his
own city, he carried his persecution to
remote parts, and 1t was while on such
q mission that he experienced the great
transition In his life.
The story Of saul's conversion Is one
Of the most dramatic and appealing in
cidents recorded in the Bible. In q
miraculous way he underwent . change
that made him the mightiest advocate
Of the Christian church. Probably to
this man more than to any other the
world owes it, gratitude for both the
system and the doctrine Of this univer-
sal and altogether Incompatible insti-
tuition.
Immediately following the great
change that Saul experienced, he was
directed to 60 into Damascus, the very
city In which he had hoped to persecute
and imprison Christian disciples, there
to await further instructions concern
ing his future course. II was while
in Damascus that . certain disciple"
was directed to 60 to him and to give
him definite instructions concerning his
new ministry. There Is something very
suggestive In the incident that Saul
found lodgment In the street which
ID called Straight" After Q life Of
devious ways and misdirected efforts,
he had come at length to the straight
course, and from this time on his whole
career was marked by definiteness and
precision-and unfailing puypose-and
Z well conceived objective.
The whole story illustrates what .
radical change takes place In ones life
when once It falls under the dominat-
ing and controlling and inspiring influ-
ence of q God-given purpose. There
is nothing that 20 fixes and determines
the course Of life as . controlling re-

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANpER JOHNSON.

The Lazy Life.
Dreamt about lazy life
Beneath the sky SO blue.
Where all the world was free from
strife,
With nothing much to do.
But wheresoe'er I turned my quest
Sweet peace was unrevealed;
There was the spirit Of unrest
In forest. town and field.
Dreamt about the pleasures rife
With idleness supreme;
Found at last the lazy life
Was nothing but q dream.

Gallery Agitators.

An incident In the House Of Com
mons, at London, the other day, revives
memory Of happenings In the same place
more than twenty years ago. when MILL
tant sufiragettes. as they were then
called, engaged in strenuous tactics to
hasten the enactment Of . law per-
hitting women to vote. In the course
Of . debate on naval estimates, .
young woman clambered over the rail
from the visitors' gallery into the gal
lery reserved for peers and threw down
to the floor . quantity Of pacifist
propaganda leaflets protesting against
reductions in funds for education, relief
and housing while the military and
naval appropriations were being in
creased. She escaped after her per-
formance, but . man companion who
tried to continue the strewing Of the
printed matter was forcibly removed
by ushers. In 1919 on several occa-
sions women who were engaged In the
campaign for equal suffrage not only
interrupted the proceedings Of the
Commons but chained themselves to
the railinss to prevent their immediate
expulsion. Some Of them went to
prison for their behavior, along with
those who put grease and acid into the
public mall boxes and committed other
acts Of sabotage as measure Of agi-
tation for their cause.
A few months ago q deranged man

House Of Representatives. in. this city.
fiourishing q loaded pistol. He was
removed from the gallery without hav-
ing fired his weapon or doing any dam
age. Later, having recovered from his
attack, he was returned to his home.
These occasional intrusions upon leg
islative proceedings have occurred in all
parliamentary assemblages. and occa-
sionally with serious consequences. In
England even at the height Of the mill
tant suffrage agitation the trespasses
upon the parliamentary dignity were
merely annoying. In this country the
spirit of protest voiced from the gal
leries has been innocuous. and save on
the recent occasion already noted not
alarming. The freedom Of the galleries
has never been curtailed. as 1t Is the
established principle Of popular govern
ment that legislative proceedings are
open to the people 80 long as they con-
duct themselves properly. Occasionally
the presiding officers in the two chambers
Of the American Congress have to ad-
monish the galleries against applause
and other demonstrations with the
threat to clear the galleries If the warm
ing is not needed. This, however, has
not been done within memory.

World Opinion and Japan.

In what may be considered q vale
dictory address covering his four years
notable stewardship Of Americas for
eign relations. Henry L. Stimson, Sec
retary Of State In the Hoover Admin
istration. presents In the current quar-
terly issue Of Foreign Affairs q review
Of the United States international &C.
tivities between 1929 and 1888. What
Col. Stinson has to say about the
crisis in the Far East Is Of particular
interest. because Of the contribution
he made in the guise Of the stimson
Doctrine, which has been adopted by
practically the whole world ss its atti-
tude toward Japanese aggression in
Manchuria.
Col. Stimson Is convinced that 1t will
not require force to dislodge Japan
from the Chinese territory which she
occupies in violation of the Nine Power
Treaty Of Warrington and the Kellogg
Pact. He believes that, sooner or later,
enlightened Japanese statesmanship
will recognize the wisdom, in the island
empires own best interests, Of COM
posing the Manchurian controversy
with China along lines more in accord
with international sentiment than the
ruthless methods which have been en-
ployed to plant the banners Of the
Rising Sun in North China.
"To those who are skeptical Of the
effectiveness Of the policy Of non-rec-
osnition of territorial gains made
through use Of military force" says Col.
Stimson, 1T may be helpful to recall
that the spokesman Of the Toxic for
eign ONCE. when announcing on May
IL, 1882, the withdrawal Of the jap
anese forces from Shanghai, attributed
this decision to the desire Of the jap
anese government to conform to world
opinion and to end worldwide odium
which has fallen upon Japan. It may
be contended that this conclusion Of
the Shanghai incident cannot be re-
garded as presaging ultimately an anal
ogous ending to developments In Man
churia. I believe that such q conten.
tion fails to take full account of the
moral consciousness Of 4 thoughtful ma
ton. which has in the past contributed
in generous measure to the support Of
the peace movement"
The friends Of Japan throughout tho
world, and especially in the United
States. have never ceased to hope that
the so-called Shidehara school of
thought would prevail at Toxic Is
against the insensate militarist pro-
gram that has held full and unchal-
lengeable sway for the past two years.
Baron shidehara. well remembered Is
japanese Ambassador at Washington
before and during the 1922 Arma.
mcnt Conference. and later foreign
minister, speaks for that influential
but minority element In Japan which
favors . policy Of cooperation. instead
of antagonism, with the Western powers
In molding the desttnies Of China. It
must be confessed that the Shidehara
group has made little headway In i'm
posing its views upon the Japanese ma
tion as q whole or the government in
particular. But on this side Of the
globe confidence will continue to be
cherished that the day Is dawning when
Toxic will see the light, and, eventually,
turn it, back upon projects which can
only result in progressively diminishing
the prestige Japan has won in the
family of nations through her partici-
patton In the peace movement" to
which Col. Stimson draws attention.

But Governor Ehringhaus, in

that he does not expect to do any

it will be nothing more than a
