The institution of the Lords Sup
per. as a symbol of remembrance
and communion with the Master
and Of the fellowship OF Christian
believers IN His name, finds its war
rant in the description OF the Last
Supper In the Gospels and In the
historic words Of the Apostle Paul
In our lesson.
Whether the Lords Supper had
been already instituted and Paul
va linking II for new disciples IN
the church with the meeting OF
Christ with His disciples in the up
per room on the night that He was
betrayed. is not clear in the New
Testament. II seems unlikely that
Paul was establishing the institu-
ton himself.
What Is particularly noteworthy IN
our lesson, whatever the origin OF
the rite. or its place In the early
Christian church. Is the definitely
spiritual meaning that Paul at
taches 10 II. and the way in which
he links it with the personal exper-
fence OF the transforming power Of
Christ in the soul.
The sacrament OF the Lords
Supper is first OF all in PaulS
\. bought. and in his Interpretation
Vol ID in relation to the Last Supper.
a new testament IN the blood OF
Christ-that Is. a new covenant IN
which remembrance makes vital all
that Christ means to the soul and
all that the disciple owes 10 Christ
IN love and devotion.
Thus IL is that Paui urges that
participation in the rite should mean
careful examination OF ones self
lest there be any element Of in
sincerity or unworthineSS in ones
approach TO the Master.
We have known those who re-
NAMED away from the Lords Table
because Of a ems Of their own sin
fitness and unWorthineSS. Paul
would have said that. II that sense
Of u~nworthineSS was genuine. and
the desire 70 know the power OF
Christ real. II was such as these
who were worthieSt Of all TO partake
OF the Communion.
But he reminded these early
Chritians that participation in the
Lords Supper was. nevertheless, a
solemn experience.
Some Of these disciples had come
over from pagan religions and as
sociations where feaSting and indul-
gence. rather than restraint, were
sometimes associated with the rites
OF religion. Evidently there was a
tendency 70 make OF this partaking
OF the elements Of the Communion
a supper that had little relation
ship to its sacred meaning.
SO Paul reminded them that ii
was not a time for appeasing their
physical hunger. The rite was Spiri-
tual and symbolic. and to material
lie il would be 10 destroy its signi-
ficance and spiritual value.
One cannot discuss a rite Of this
sort without remembering that
many earnest people have not OBJ
served II.
To millions Of Christians. on the
.6pther hand. this rite IS the deep
GSt symbol Of their association with
the great company Of believers. the
church universal in every age and
land. militant and triumphant.

GLUE TRAILED
BY OFFICERS

JOLIET, Ill, Dec. IA. Up A
man who identified himself as Al
fred Geonia, a former convict and
informer in the Kansas State Pen
itentiary at Lansing. was held az
the county Jail Friday after tell
ing authorities he escaped from
Alvin Barpis, widely hunted as a
law breaker, and two companions,
after he had been drugged by Kar-
pis. Karpis is sought as one OF the
men involved in the 100000 kid
naping o Edward O. Bremen OF st.
Paul.
Taken to JAN
Geonia was taken to a hospital
Thursday night and later remov-
ed to the jail after he staggered
into a roadhouse near Plainiield,
apparently suffering from the Ell
fects Of some drugs or poison. He
first gave the name Of Jack MoX-
ey. a federal agent but later as
serted he said he recently accepted
his release from the Kansas prison.
The prisoner said that after his
release he went to the department
OF Justice at Kansas City at the
suggestion Of K. NJ. Stulfbletield,
assistant warden Of the Kansas
prison. There he said. he waS told
TO 90 10 Chicago TO look for Kar-
pis.
Fantastic Story
He said he proceeded 70 Elgin
near where he met two men In a
roadhouse, whose names he gave as
Clyde Nemerick and Fred Parker.
They told him. he asserted, to walk
out to a certain road and that they
would pick him up in a IT. When
they met him, he said, KarpiS was
with them.
Karpis went to a saloon and
bought him a drink. And then all
-four men drove away. Later he be-
4came III and Karpis pushed him out

who claimed to be able to do this,
but he did not know by what means.
I doubt if it would be possible to
soften a craW without killing it. If
1 remember my zoology the harden
ing material in the shell is lime and
acids are about the only agents that
would cause a reaction.
Still, most soft craws are dead by
the time they are put on the hook,
so if the solution did not make the
craw unappetizing to the fish it
would be a mighty fine thing to
know.
Well have to ask for help on this
one. If any one has sure-flre
means of softening craws, please
shoot it in. Lots of fishermen will
be interested.

TINE third annual indianapolis
Il open pro-amateur four-ball
match play tournament got under
way this morning at Coffin munich
pal course. Max Buell., tournament
manager for the Indiana P. G. A,
was certain the eighteen-hole quail
fcation test today not only would
bring out some of the classiest links
shiny" seen here, but would also
produce more than enough teams to
fill the thirty-two positions needed
for the match play bracket. Team
encounters begin tomorrow morning.
Inability of Guy Paulsen, FIT.
Wayne pro, to compete robbed the
tourney of a defending champion
team, but his partner in victory last
year, Bobby Dale of Coffin, entered
with Phil Douglas, assistant pro at
Riverside, as a partner.
Dick Nelson, pro at Meridian Hills,
and Ben Cohee of the same couse,
winners of the first annual event
again have entered as a team and
will be serious contenders.
DILL HEINLEIN, state open
ID champion, sent in his entry.
Louie Heinlein, Bills brother, who
was winner of The indianapolis
Times high school tournament last
June. will be his partner.
One of the most serious threats to
take the 1884 title is the team of
Ralph StonehouSe, Coffin pro, who
has Bill Reed Jr. as a partner. Reed
holds the indianapolis Public Links
title
Another tough team to handle will
be Max Buell., Highland star, and
George Stark, former Coffin course
pro. who more recently served at
Cincinnati courses.
CIAkK, who has Just returned

iron this season.
I'VE are making slow and steady
progress" says Coach Clark Shaugh-
messy, beginning his second season.
I'VE still have a long way TO go, but
the boys have courage and are
learning fast. Maybe We'll outfoX a
couple of teams that have it on US
in Drawn and manpoWer."
Go back to the last Saturday of
the 1893 football season and you'll
run across this score: Chicago, 80;
Dartmouth, 0.
That victory over team which
held tPrincetons unbeaten, united
outfit to a TO victory and lost no
other game by more than a touch
down signalized Chicago's- departure
from footballs weakling class.
The Maroons didn't win a Big
Ten game last year, but they made
every game they played-eXcept
against Michigan, conference cham
pions-So close that their opponents
couldn't enjoy them till afterward.
Chicago may not win a confer
ence game this season, but no Big
Ten team is likely to coast to vic
tory over the Maroons. Again the
squad is small, and the reserves
weak, but if the Maroons can keep
their first string together all sea-
son and get few breaks that were
denied them last year, they'll give a
good account of themselves. Twelve
out of twenty letter men are back.
Chicago has a tough conference
schedule, playing Michigan, Indi-
ana, Purdue, Ohio State, Minnesota
and Illinois, five of which finished
in the first division last year. Out
side the conference, Carroll college
and Missouri, will be played.

THERE'S one of those believe-it-
l. l. or-not tales that I hesitated
to use for several days, but con-
versation with another fisherman
has so nearly confirmed it that my
doubts are dispelled.
The story goes that local angler
set a trot line in the canal one
day several weeks ago and returned
in the morning to find a two-pound
small mouth hooked securely.
Nothing strange about that on the
face of it, but the claim was made
that the bait was an ordinary piece
of rat cheese.
I mentioned the fact to several
fisherman friends and one of them
frightened UP and said that he had
heard of cheese being used to catch
bass, or rather he had heard OF
bass being caught on cheese.
1t developed that an acquaintance
had told him that one evening sew
eral weeks ago (same time) while
walking along the canal (same
place. he noticed a set line tied to
the bank and saw by the movement
of the line that it held a good fish.
He drew it in and found a three
pound bass. In its struggles to
escape the fish had nearly become
unlocked. and rather than see such
a prize lost, he took it along. He
carefully reset the line, after max
ing the discovery that all the hooks
were baited with cheese.
This story was too good not 10
tell, and is it plain why we don't
use names?

NUESTION-I have often hearc

method Of softening hard craws. II
this is the case would you please

heard Of 1t, nor have half dozen
asked at random. The seventh man
