In the activities of human expe- rience certain qualities are invalu- able assets. And their values arc enhanced in conditions such as those confronting the world at large to-day. Varied are the prob Items awaiting solution and calling for deep and prolonged thought. Tn the onward march of progress, however, difficulties become step- ping stones when fundamentals are called in to play their legitimate part. PerspectiveS can then be properly viewed and relative values assessed.
 Courage is essential; but it must emanate from the one source of might and power. Mere animal or physical courage often springs from fear, resentment, or human will, and cannot be conducive of good. Not infrequently, in fact, it results in lawlessness and evil actions. True courage, on the other hand, is a moral and mental quality derived from Deity. An authoritative defi- milton gives 1t as a quality of mind which enables one to encounter danger and difficulties with firm ness and without fear or depres- sion. Courage is the outcome of confidence and surety that good is the sole reality, and that the coun- terfeit called avil is null and void. Rightly understood, courage is the offspring of the understanding of Gods omnipotence and omnipres- ence.
 One of the outstanding funda- mentals of Christian Science is the fact that, since God, good, is omni- potent and omnipresent, evil has in reality neither place, power, nor presence. Also that man as the child of God, made in His image and likeness, reflects divine Mind.
 In that Book of Books, the Bible which can and should be the all- sufficient guide in daily experience, there abound outstanding accounts of courage shown by prophets and apostles in trials and dangers seem- ingly humanly insurmountable David, when a mere stripling faced and conquered the giant Golaith. Refusing the improved armor of Saul, he confronted the enemy in the conscious strength of I Spirit. That unassailable armor had been his rearward in the night
 watches, when tending his fathers fiocks. Later on in his career, as king of Israel. God was his sude de- I fense in tribulation and his refuge

ACT OF THE FIRST CONGRESS

ners marched to the green later in the day and defeated an attempt by Cosby to force a vote by choice. STORY IS SUPPRESSED; ZENGER PRINTS TT
 With them, and among them,
 was one Peter Zenger, reporter.
 Zenger watched and noted the dis
 qualification of 3S Quakers, men of known and visible estates" be-
 cause they refused to take oath. He watched all the efforts to rig
 the election by Tammany methods,
 and he saw the triumph of Morris. Then he went back to New York
 and wrote his story for his paper, the Gazette. This paper, indebted to Cosby and conservative in tone, refused to print it.
 Zenger went right ahead. Within
 a week he had enlisted support for a new paper, the New York Weekly
 Journal. And it printed Zenger's
 account of the election.
 An admirably accurate and force-
 full account 1t was, too, making up in good reporting what it lacked
 in spelling and typography. Zenger followed this up with a
 series of rousing attacks on Cover
 nor Cosby's tyranny and ineffi-
 ciency.

 The first man to be jailed under the sedition act was Matthew Lyon, who attacked President Adams as grasping for power and adulation, l referred to 'the bullying speech of the president" and wondered that congress- answer 'had not been to send Adams to the mad ! house."
 Lyon got four months in jail for that. Friends rose to his aid, espe- cially Anthony Haswell, editor of away at Lyons sentence. For that, Haswell got two months. Next came Dr Thomas Cooper | of the Pennsylvania Gazette, who bitterly criticized Adams, and was | arrested.
 ASSAILED BY JUDGE
 AND SENT TO JAIL | His trial was held before Justice | Chase, who said that "If a man attempts to destroy the confidence l of the people in their officers, he effectually saps the foundation of government" Mark you, this re- gardless of whether those officers were worthy of confidence or not.

 his way, also fell the trial of James Calender.
 Callender had paid his respects to, President Adams in no uncer- tain terms, saying that his admin istration had been "a tempest of malignant passions" that Adams was "professed aristocrat," and scathingly referred to the presi- dents speech to congress in the words, "This hoary-headed incen- diary bawls, then, ITO arms"

 With the downing of the fed eralists, and the coming of the Jefferson administration, Jefferson pardoned practically all those im- prisoned under the sedition laws. and remitted with interest many of the fines paid, giving his opinion that the laws were unconstitu- tional.
 He added, Our liberty depends on the freedom of the press and that cannot be limited without being lost"

bail demanded, which he could not furnish.
 For nine months .Zenger paced his cell, at times giving instruc- tions through "the hole of the door" to his wife and servants for carrying on his paper, which was being printed by volunteers.
 When his time for trial finally came, there arose to defend Zenger the famous lawyer, Andrew Ham, ilton (no relation to Alexander). In brilliant speech, Hamilton won Zenger's acquittal on the libel charges, and the foundation-stone of freedom of expression in Amer ica was laid soundly.
 With establishment of the new government, and adoption of the present constitution, mighty stones were added to this structure. The constitution itself contained no provision on freedom of expression.
 But almost the first act of the first congress was to submit 10 amendments to the people.
 FREEDOM GUARANTEE
 GIVEN BY AMENDMENT
 The first of these contained an unforgettable charter of liberty: Congress shall make no law re- specting an establishment of reli- zion, or prohibiting the free exer- else thereof; or abridging the free dom of speech or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble and to petition the government for a redress of griey- ances."
 Apparently as plain and simple as language can be, this amend ment has been subject to court wrangling ever since its adoption.
 In fact, the government had been little more than established before a series of laws was passed which threatened to topple the structure of freedom of expression that had been erected.
 In 179S the alien and sedition acts were passed by the federalist party, which felt a rising tide of criticism and 8 waning power. They authorized the arrest and deportation, at the discretion of the president, of any alien, even in time of peace, and the 'arrest, trial and punishment" of anyone who should "write, print, utter. or publish" anything with intent to defame the president, or congress. or to weaken their authority, or bring them into contempt.
 Woodrow Wilson wrote of this, "There was no telling where such exercises of power would stop" For instance, if we had had such a law during the late 1920's, it is likely that anyone publishing any thing against prohibition enforce ment would have been put in jail. GAG ATTEMPT SEALS
 DOOM OF FEDERALISTS
 But the forefathers protested. Petitions rolled in, and loud cry spread over the land. This clamor for freedom of expression was a big factor in beating the federalists and wrecking their party so completely that it never rose again.

Courage Essential In
 Humans s Experiences
However, EmanatiOn Must Come From Might and
 POwer-SpirituaI VigOr Is Attribute of Virtue

to humanity a clearer vision, wider scope, and greater probabilities for the accomplishment of good in the varied walks of life.
 Spiritual vigor and assurance sustained by the knowledge of Gods allness are divine attributes of courge, and engender that es- sential quality of thought which is always poised, confronting dangers outout misgiving, disquietude, or fear of any kind. In its considera- tion for others and in its unswerv- ing loyalty to Truth, the real strength of courage is revealed. Ac- tions therefrom are a reflex of it's inner honest convictions, and even in adverse circumstances com- promise is unknown. As Mary Baker Eddy expresses 1t in "Sci- ence and Health with Key to the Scriptures" (p. 97). "It requires courage to utter truth; for the higher Truth lifts her voice, the louder will error scream, until it's inarticulate sound is forever silenc- ed in oblivion" Courage furnishes the necessary fortitude, the patient expectancy of good, even in the midst of apparent diversity, and the strength to withstand tempta% ton in the evil hour. Thus it is seen that to the use of even one spiritual quality several other qual- ities are utilized, for the constantly outfiowing source of all good is then being drawn upon.
 The acknowledgement and prac- tice of the truth that God is the one Mind, the one creator and con- troller of man and the universe, is rending the veil of materiality and is revealing, through Christian Science, mans spiritual birthright and sequentially the way of dom inion over all material conditions and human problems.
 Through the study and applica- ton of this teaching the true re- lationship of God and man can be gained; and as spiritual qualities are expressed they set one free from the limitations of mortal thinking and call forth the true liberty of the sons of God. An un- numbered host are proving the truth of Mrs Eddy's words as given in "The First Church of Christ, Scientist, and Miscellany" (p. 13D, Beloved, that which purifies the affections also strengthens them, removes fear, subdues sin. and en- dues with divine power; that which refines character at the same time humbles, exalts, and commands a | man, and obedience gives him courage, devotion, and attainment"

THREE BILLIONS
 OF GOVERNMENT
 MONEY IN BANKS
Preparations Are Under way to Extend Its Sway
 Over System
BY RICHARD |. GRIDLEY

United Press Stan Correspondent
 Washington, Dec 19-U.P.) = The governments stake in the na- tons banking approached the $3,- OOO,OOO,O0O mark to-day as final preparations were made to extend it's sway by putting deposit insur- ance in effect at the start of the New Year.
 More than a third of the gov- ernment's participation in banking Is represented by deposits in the Postal Savings System, which have risen to record levels well above s1, 1000, 100000
 In addition, the Reconstruction Finance Corporation has purchased more than a fifth of the outstand- ing bank capital of $3,500,00O,0O and expects to increase this owner- ship to nearly third with ulti- mate preferred stock purchases of more than $1.0O0,000.000.
 Direct loans to banks and hum dreds of millions poured into var ious mortgage loan, building and loan, and agricultural credit or ganizations have further increased the governments stake. Under the deposit insurance plan
 
 portant regulatory powers over under federal supervision. Aug menting these powers and those derived from its stock ownership, the government has regulatory functions through the federal re- serve board and the national bank ing laws.
 The governments participation may be lessened materially if the deposit insurance plan succeeds and is retained. J. F. T. O'Connor, comptroller of the currency has in- dicated that upon success of the plan depends abolition of the pos | tai savings system, returning huge deposits to the banks.
 Deposits in participating banks will be insured in full up to $2,50O until June 30, when a permanent insurance plan will be put into ef- feet if the temporary plan is suc- cessful. Under the permanent plan all deposits up to S10,000 will be insured in full; from $10.000 tc $50,000 75 per cent and above SC per cent.
 The REC has authorized the purchase of preferred stock and capital notes in 3,160 banking in. stitutions involving $627,O0O,0 ,000 and has loaned directly a total o1 $690,199,111 to banks.
 Officials deny any intention o1 drastic government control of tho banking business but it was con. sidered significant that Chairman Jesse Jones of the REC offered nc objection if banks advertise or their windows or otherwise that "they are in partnership with tho government" when they have solo stock to the REC.
 Many of the REC stock purchase agreements carry provisions giving the REC voice in the control ot the institutions, 8 factor which might make it easy for the govern. ment to have a hand in determin. ing the policy or personnel of var. ious institutions. &
