sermon deliDered last Sunday
IN English and in Hungarian,
by our young but very able
pastor of Our Lady OF Hungary
parish on the West Side.
We 10ho seldom use sermons
for our lead article in this
paper, found this one so good
and so timely that zoe attempt
here to reproduce its most inn
p0rtGnt parts.
Father MundweiH said that
Christ, of Jewish origin, and
living in a country conquered
by the Romans and in spite of
the fact that the Je1Dish
people acre oppressed and
yearned for freedom advised
that the people remain loyal to
the Roman emperor.
Not mentioning nam e s
Father MundaOeiU pointed out
that in the recent naayoralty
campaign the nationality
(Italia1a) OF one of the candi-
dates 1OaS oUer emphasized.
And the nationality candidate
aOas defeated.
At the same time all can
didates striDing ON a nation
ality basis for president Of
council or for Fourth Ward
council aDere also defeated.
And get the mayor ELECT, the
president OF council elect 1Oere
not a0hat they call 100 per cent
Americans but OF foreign des-
cent and not eUen of Amer
ican birth. They belonged,
hoWever, to 1dtionalities aOith
ideals not OUer natiOnGliStic.
Father MundweiH in his SER
mon returned to the Jewish
race shouting that no matter
where they haze settled they
adapted themselves to the
ideals and customs OF the coun-
try in phich they liDed. The
same he said ,Oas true to oar
ryinq ertents of the Welsh,
English, German and the Irish.
ITO elevate members of our
race or nationality to repre-
sentnttve positions De must
foster the culture OF our fore
fathers, AFather MundaOeill
said. eve must t11o1U and learn
about their art, literature,
music and culture about euery-
thing they contributed to the
advancement OF ctvil1sGt1O71.
We n1ust try to gipe to the
country of these cultural
achievements as much as 1De
can, not in a bO1StfaH 1D1y
not lOith the purpose OF sho1O-
ing oft, but 1oith love tor the
adopted country and the desire
to 0duance 1t a0ith our con-
tributiOns to its culture and
Civilization.

office Of the Hippodrome. I
want you to buy a good seat for
tonight'S performance. And
I want you to sit there and
watch the antics Of Grimaldi,
the clown.
"Grimaldi is the funniest man
In the world. Watching him,
you will forget your melan-
cholia. Soon you will laugh.
You will feel better. You will
be :.
His voice trailed off as his
patient arose.
II am afraid you cannot
help me, DOCTOR" he said, as he
walked toward the door. "Your
suggestion will not cure me-"
But why?" cried the doctor.
"How do you l1now?"
The tall man opened the door.
Because" he murmured, II
am Grimaldi, the clown"
The second tale-which
sounds even more as though it
might be some great authors
prize short story-concerns two
patients in the charity room Of
a private hospital. The stout
man, suffering from severe
heart trouble, was in the bed
by the one window in the room.
The thin man, paralyzed and
unable to move anything but
his right arm, was in the other
bed.
For some six months, these
two had been involuntary com.
panions. The stout man was
the more fortunate of the two
for he had the window from
which to gaze. And through
the day, he would describe the
scenes that met his eyes on the
outside.
TOO bad, Joe," he would
cry, "that you could not see
the beautiful girl who Just
passed. She seemed so young,
so fresh. She's on her way to
that park, over on my right.
All, how green the grass looks
in that park today-and how
happy all those children seem
to be! Too bad you cannot
see them through this window,
Joe."
The thin man soon began to
resent these descriptions. Why
The Washington times., 1935-01-08

While the kindly mathemati-
clan churned in his crypt like
an electric fan, 10 fierce young
Sioux with Orange accents
chanted an Ojibway ballad as
they circled about the best-look-
ing teacher in the diocese. In
feathered war-bonnet and buck
skin trousers and flourishing a
tin tomahawk I Warily looked
out upon an audience seemingly
made up of Clusters, Carsons,
Boones and Bowies. To this day
an original Russell or Reming-

FOrbeS-RObertSOn's performance
branded my memory so vividly
that it still seems to me the best.
In my Juvenile enthusiasm I

My first collision with a
theatrical hero! My brother
was a film salesman for Metro
and through his good offices I
was set up in their Jersey SUBJ
sidiary in the exploitation de-
partment. Charged with the dis
tribution of posters, heralds and
engravings to the feverish ex-
hibitors, I contracted a little
fever myself when Francis x.

man of the desert wastes, visited
the office as a preface to a
triumphal personal appearance

By Mark HeIIinoer

was it that he had not been
lucky enough to get the bed by
the Window"
If he were in the other bed,
they could turn him toward the
window. Then, HE would be
able to see all these wonderful
things.
One Chance
There was, however, but one
chance. And that chance would
come only when the stout man
died. When that happened, he
would be moved into the bed by
the window. But how long would
he have to wait?
Twice, it had almost hap
pened. Twice, late at night, the
stout man had had an attack.
Twice, the thin man had reached
out his right arm and pressed
the buzzer. Twice, the doctor
had rushed in with the necessary
injection. Twice, the stout man
had been saved.
And then, the next day, he
would be we'll again. Well
enough, that is, to continue his
hateful descriptions of life on
the outside. Well enough to
make the thin man hate him
more and more and more -.
Came the night Of the third
attack. The stout man clutched
at his heart and groaned in
agony.
It's come again, joe" he
gasped. Reach out your arm.
Press the buzzer. I'm dying,
Joe. PreSS-the-buzzer."
This time the thin man did
not move. His right arm re.
manned as still as the rest Of his
body. The stout man died.
The next morning, when the
stout man had been taken away,
they gave the thin man his bed.
AS they lifted him into his new
home, his eyes were filled with
eagerness. He had murdered the
stout man, but what of it? Now
it was his turn to see the world;
his chance for happiness.
They turned him toward the
window. Eyes bulging, he looked
out. Then he fell back with a
weird moan.
There was nothing outside but
a blank wall. ..
