LYING UNDER OATH
By WICKES WAMBOLDT

often churches are given to allow
ing misbehaving persons, sener,
ally public officials and politicians
to hold high places in the temples
of worship, to act as deacons and
ushers, to lead Bible classes, to
serve as heads of departments,
and as superintendent of Sunday
schools. The church will never
regain it's place of spiritual lead
ership and its power for righteous
ness until those responsible for
the churches insist on wedding out
the Pharisees and the hypocrites
and giving deserving people, spir-
itually minded people, righteously
behaving people, all the places of
leadership and distinction in the
affairs of the churches.
| have said many time that
we shall never do away with rot
tenness in politics and corruption
in government until the churches
stop honoring crooked politicians
and governmental racketeers.
The churches could be a ire
mendous influence for wholesome
ness in the affairs of this nation,
if they would first clean house,
then with the assurance that they
had mended the weaknesses in
their own armor, go after the en-
envy, and give no quarter. Many
of our churches are so shot full
of members whose personal and
public behavior is so open to criti-
cism and condemnation that their
ministers don't dare discuss any
iniquities save those of the days
of King David or Of some other
remote period. They do not dare
come out and denounce the follies
and the iniquities of today, for
they know that to do so would be
to hit outstanding members of
their own congregations. Well,
that kind of hitting will have to
be done, and it will have to be
done straight from the shoulder
and the consequences will have to

BLESS HIS COURAGE

Recently the president of a
Sunday school class went to one
of the class members and said:
According to the way you are
conducting yourself, l think you
should no longer serve as an Of
ficer of this class. L should be
glad to have you continue to at
tend class meetings, but think
you should resign as an officer"
The officer resigned.
The same president of the same
Sunday school class took another
member aside and said to him:
Hereafter, if anyone calls on
YOU to make a public prayer, |
suggest that you refuse. A man
who is doing as you are doing IN
his private life has no right to
make public prayers and thus give
the impression that he is living
the Christian life. The next time
anybody calls on you to pray pub
licly in the class, just shake your
head"
l never thought to see the day
when, anything like the foregoing
situation, would come to pass. Too

WASHINGTON. - Few have no.
Hticed it, but postoffices are back
on the pie counter.
Congress guessed it had been too
generous when it gave the privilege
of allocating all the new ones to
Secretary Ickes under the $780,.
GOO, 900 public works program.
" Tough little Ickes wouldn't hand
them out unless he thought they
were economically justified. He
was so hard. to convince that he
even refused one for his own home
town in Illinois.
Ickes, appearing before none
too friendly House appropriations
subcommittee, said if the country
were going to build postoffices
which the figures showed couldn't
be justified from a business point
of view, he hoped the responsible.
ity would be taken away from
PWA.
1t must have sounded like a
good idea. Congress quietly
earniarketl $65, 100000 OF the
new public works money for
postoffices to be selected from
two specific lists whose total
cost would be S17O,OOO,OOO.
And left it to Postmaster Gen.
cra1.Democratic National Chair
man Jim Farley and Secretary
Of the Treasury Morgenthau to
choose them.
And maybe YOU think Farley
and Morgenthau are going to have
fun discriminating between one
town and another when the boys
come hollering!
THE Ickes estimate that 1000
1 600 persons have been en-
ployed through PWA, directly
and indirectly, seems a shade OH

Editor. The Times-News:
Twenty-seven families who live
on what is known as the Davis
road, across Jump-off Mountain
are practically cut off from Hen
Jacksonville because of the condi-
ton of this road between the
homes of Charley Mace and Ben
Blackwell. The road is impossible
due to large hole in it. The
highway department worked part
of the road some time ago but
this section has not been worked
in nearly a year. AS these fam
lilies are taxpayers something
should be done to fix the road so
that they may pass on it and
they are calling on the authori-
ties to do something right away.

MOTHERS DAY

Let every day be Mothers Day, Make sunbeams dance along her way. Come, all you children and rejoice, If you can hear yoC' mothers voice. Bestow upon her all your love, And beg of the good Lord above To send his richest blessing down And place it as golden crown
 Upon your mothers head. Let every day be Mothers Day, In comfort, ease, and pleasant ways. Oh, never let her eyes be wet With tears of sorrow and regret. For you, my dear, her days were spent Following you where ere you went. No matter what you've ever done The sublime love you've always won
 From your dear mothers heart.
