Visitation Day

Sunday at the Methodist Episco-
pal church is known as Visitation
Day." The parish is divided in Sec
tions for visitation, and about 80
men will go out in pairs to visit the
homes and people of the church.
These 80 selected men will carry
pledge cards, and the object will be
to finance the church for the year,
beginning March. /. The pledges
are to be paid from week to week.
Pledges will be taken for both the
current expenses and the world SER
vice of the church.
Dinner will be served at the
church, at noon, to the workers and
their families, this giving the work
ers an early start to complete their
work in one afternoon. All friends
and members of the church are re-

bringeth forth good fruit. A good
heart means good life every time,
and an evil heart an evil life every
time; good deeds are the out
growth of good thoughts. Reform
corrects the conduct by outside
pressure; Christianity produces
right conduct by virtue of Christ
being enthroned within the soul.
v. 49, every tree that bringeth
not forth good fruit is hewn down
and cast into the fire. Here is
taught the evil of living a useless
life-simply doing nothing is con-
demned, as well as doing evil.
". 20. Therefore by their fruits
We shall know them" Our Christian
profession is hypocrisy except as it
consists of doing the will of God.
This truth is reinforced by the fol-
lowing verse: The end of an empty
profession is most disappointing.
VS.. %, %. "Many will say to
me in that day, Lord, Lord. have we
not prophesied in thy name, and in
lily ioliC CooL Out oCFilc anu III LILY
name done many wonderful works?
Then will / profess to them. / never
knew you; depart from me, ye that
work iniquity.' The greatest
enemies of Christ and the church
are those seemingly associated with
Him and His church, who are wrong
in motive and desire, but go along
with those whose hearts are right;
divine tolerance allows them to
live, but their day of reckoning
must come.
VS.. "a, 25. Therefore whose
ever heareth these sayings of nine
and doeth them, will liken him
unto a wise man which built his
house upon rock; and the rain de-
scended and the floods came and
the winds blew and beat upon that
house and it fell not, for it was
founded upon a rock" The testing
of character by trials and tempta-
tions is for all of us. A true work
man is glad to have his work test
ed, for in no other way can it be
proved to be good and strong. The
failure to live up to the truth as we
know it, is portrayed in verse 26,
27.

FOR GOVERNOR

for Governor of Ohio on the

propose to give the fullest measure

Furthermore, politics will be kept

mely Warnings, Matthew Z: 2
q, for Sunday, Feb. IL
The Sermon on the Mount con-
sists of practical precepts culminat-
ing in the Golden Rule.
V. 12 "All things therefore
whatsoever We would that men
should do unto you, even do We al
so unto them; for this is the law
and the prophets In this rule we
find the principle of brotherhood of
all men; the root of this law is
love and kindness; we are to prop
erly evaluate and treat human ma
ture in others, granting them the
same justice and generosity, SYM
pathy and service that we ourselves
claim.
V. 13. Enter We in by the mar
row gate; for wide is the gate and
broad is the way that leadeth to de-
sruction, and many there are that
enter in thereby" The narrow
gate pictures the fact that there
are rigid conditions that must be
obeyed when entering the kingdom
of God. The wide gate leads to the
broad way, a well-trodden road; to
multitudes on the road it is popular,
but it ends in destruction Men
can get into the wide gate with all
their lusts, sins and self-righteous-
ness.
V. IA Because strait is the
gate and narrow is the way which
leadeth unto life; and few there be
that find it." There is only one
right road-the gospel way, for us
to travel; but there are many
wrong ones, just as there is only
one straight line between two points,
but any number of crooked ones.
The narrow gate is "a guard and Sc
cures the fitness of those that have
entered.
v. Is. Beware of false proph-
cts which come to you in sleeps
clothing, but unwardly they are
ravenous wolvesh' To come in
sleeps cothing is to assume the ap-
pearance of sanctity and innocence,
when the heart is evil.
v. 16. eye shall know them by
their fruits. Do men gather grapes
of thorns, Or figs of thistles?" The
parallel of life to tree is further
explained in the following two
verses: Gwen so every good tree

stiles OF the situation.
For the public utilities OF Oh :
propose strict control on the fas 3
of just and judicial procedure,
the end that the state government
shall be in command of the situa-
tion and the people enjoy the lowest
reasonable rates for service.
1t seems to me that it is possible
to still further reduce the cost of
state, government, and to this I am
committed.
Let us approach the subject OF
taxation with frankness. / am OPP
posed to any new taxes that can
possibly be avoided. / do not favor
the sales tax except as last resort
Special taxes should be based on the
ability of people to pay. Our tax
problem has been intensified by the
ten mill limitation enacted by the
people last November, for which I
voted; and it has been increased by
the old age pension program, which
/ publicly advocated and for which
/ voted. That portion of the de-
ficiency in revenue that is really
necessary, and the requirements OF
prompt and efficient administration
of the old age pension program
must be provided according to the
formula in the preceding paragraph,
unless the present legislature shall
have found a complete answer to
the problem. Whatever can be done
to protect the home owners of Ohio
both rural and urban, from the dire
threat of foreclosure shall have ny
earnest thought and action, becapee
the safety of our form of govern
ment is rooted in it's home owners.
I propose to make the government
of Ohio a thoroughly human instf-
tuition in harmony with the nat on
al program of President Roosevelt
l propose, also, to drive out the
loan sharks. A charge of $3.50 in
terest annually is legalized robbery
1t simply means wringing blood
money out of the distress of the
people.
The power of the state must he
used with vigor against all forms of
racketeering and the professional
criminal element. Those sections
that prefer to remain dry must be
protected in their right. Criminal
lawlessness can not be admitted to
be uncomfortable or else govern
ment itself is insecure and the
rights, property and lives of in
dividual citizens are in jeopardy.
If I am elected, I will be the
Governor and will take full respon-
sibility. I will not be dominated by
any bosses, but will welcome sug-
gestions from any reasonable
source. 1t will be my firm purpose
to make the state government fune-
tion with businesslike promptness
and efficiency, to deal justly with
cases, and to preserve
the human purpose of government.
No one will be appointed to a
responsible position who is not prop
erly qualified. I propose to in
augurate a real service to the peo-
pie of Ohio at a lesser cost, by sim
pie, businesslike procedure. | shali
make the service of the state utter
ly impartial, without regard to race,
color or creed. If eleced, it will be
my purpose to give the best admin
istration of which I am capable and
leave the verdict to the people OF

among the prisoners on Devils Is
land, located off the coast of French
Guiana.
Near the center of San Fran
cisco is the Mission Dolores, one OF
the first Roman Catholic missions
founded in the present territory of
the United States. 1t was founded
June 20, 1875, five days before the

ence.

The Washington times., 1934-08-08
By ANDREW r. KELLEY

Out at the Roadside Theater
last night was presented the first
performance of a new satirical
comedy by Douglas Griesemer,
welcome to His Excellency."
Washington and its environs
is fertile territory for any dra-
matte tidbit that pokes Congress
in the ribs or let's a brickbat fly
at the stately State Department.
Playwright Griesemer chooses
to have a fling over the short
comings Of career diplomats as
contrasted with the bluff shirt
sleeve ENJOYS trained in Amer
ican business methods.
Whacks Traditions
You suspect that this play
wright knows his way around the
corridors of the State, War and
Navy Building, for most of his
dialogue-and he offers it in
abundance-is pointed at the
Rollo boys whom he implies are
running Uncle Sans diplomatic
affairs, and legation attaches who
think more about bowing over
teacups, wearing spats and choos-
ing the right tie than they do
about official accomplishment.
If any fault is to be found
with Welcome to His Excellency''
it is that its author has expended
his best effort on witty wisdom
rather than on plot. He thinks
more Of his wisecracks than he
does of dramatic situations and
the melodramatic flourish pro
vided for his second act high
spot is such a hurried mixture
Of moods in a leap from high
comedy to tense seriousness, it
falls somewhat short Of the in
tended goal.
However, it would be quibbling
