'NEWS|E' ENDS
LIFE At 50

For years John Murn sold news
papers in Dupont Circle. He was
still "newsboy" at SIS.
He found the autumn of life
chilly, without funds or relatives.
He brooded. Life was too much
to battle alone.
He went to his room in the
21OO block P st. N. W., yester-
day, crouched in a tiny clothes
closet in the hall on the fifth
floor. In his hand he held
rubber tube which he had attached
to a gas jet. He placed the tube
to his mouth.
He wrote this final message:
Business is tough. 1 can't
find a job anywhere. I guess
it's taps for me-"
Friends will bury him.

Pedestrians Penalties.

Every motorist will probably agree,
and indeed contend, that there should
be some effective regulation Of the pedes-
trians. For the persons on foot are a
decided bane to those who drive. This
is especially the case at the crossings,
where despite the lights-even when they
are clearly visible to the walkers-the
driving space is encroached upon by
impatient ones who In many cases, in
the downtown section, reduce it by fifty
per cent. This necessarily slows up the
traffic, makes for i'll feeling and exposes
pedestrians to injury.
Those afoot will continue thus to
leave the curb at the crossings in the
face of red lights as long as they are
not restrained by the fear of punish
ment. They brave the drivers, vir-
tually defy them. How far would a
mandate of regulation deter them? Not
in the least. unless 1t were rigidly en-
forced by arrests and penalties. and this

QUALIFIED SERVICE
RIGHT REV JAMES E. FREEMAN D. D. ILL., d, D. c. L.,
BISHOP WASHINGTON.

An incident is recorded in the ninth
chapter of st. Lukes gospel that relates
the story Of three evidently sincere and
earnest would-be followers of the Master
who had been drawn to Him by the
beauty and appeal Of His ministry They
readily recognized His leadership and
they sought, if possible, to become His
disciples. We read that "a certain man
said unto Him, Lord, will follow Thee
whithersoever Thou goest." In response
to this recognition Of His leadership
Jesus admonished the jealous follower
that while the foxes and birds had their
places of refuge and repose, He, the Son
Of man. had not where to lay His head"
There is no evidence that this response
met with the ready acceptance of the
seeker. A second offered his services,
but Immediately requested that he be
permitted to return to his home to dis
charge a solemn filial obligation. The
third, with like zeal, said: Lord, will
follow Thee. but let me first 90 bid them
farewell which are at home at my house"
To which Jesus responded: mo man.
having put his hand to the plough and
looking back Is fit for the kingdom of
God"
their tender of service is quite obvious,
but their readiness to follow the leader
ship of Christ was qualified with but"
They had decision. but they lacked cour-
age. They represent types that are
always common with us.
In another incident in the gospel mar
rative where a call to service was made
we read that they all with one consent
began to make excuse" It is universally
true that under the spell of strong lead
ership men will readily reach quick If
specifically sincere decisions. They are
like the seed which Jesus described in
the parable of the sower that fell on thin
earth that rested on stone. which sprang
up quickly and, because it had no depth,
speedily withered away.
Repeatedly in life we come to a crit
ical situation where the test to loyalty
of conviction is put upon us, where we
are called upon to decide, and decide
with full knowledge of consequences,
what course We will follow. When such
Evening star., 1935-09-29

a situation arises the depth of our con-
viction and the strength of our purpose
is conspicuously disclosed. Whether 1t
Is commitment to principle or an ideal,
there can be no such thing as qualified
diScipleShip." In all His contacts with
men the Master was tenderly sympa-
thetic with their weaknesses and foibles
He recognized the influence of environ
ing conditions and other limitations that
restricted and hindered them in the at
tainment Of their ideals and purposes, but
He refused to recognize discipleship
that was half-hearted and subject to
change under the pressure. of events. At
no time did He give promise to those
who would follow Him that the way of
the disciple was an easy one. The appeal
OF Jesus was TO the stronger and more
heroic elements in men. Too frequently
emphasis is laid upon comfortable
gospel" 1t certainly is comforting
gospel, but there is nothing in it that
gives promise of ease to those who would
be disciples of the Nazarene 1t is quite
evident that the strongest and most virile
periods in the history Of the church have
been those where the followers of Jesus
have been Of the heroic type. The men
and the women who have blazed the trail
for the advance of His kingdom have
ever been Of the militant kind. The
periods in which His cause has made its
greatest progress have been those in
which trial and sometimes suffering have
attended the way of His followers. That
the blood of the martyrs is the seed Of
the church" is universally true.
There is fresh call and an urgent one
for demonstrative Christian living. In
the distress and confusions Of our mod
ern world we may not subordinate the
claims which our disciplehood lays upon
us nor give them an inconspicuous place.
The reason we fail in effecting a better
world and a peaceful one and in the
uShering in Of the more abundant life is
because we lack loyalty to those deep and
fundamental principles which our Chris
tian discipleship lays upon us. Il will
follow Thee, but" is an inadequate
and wholly unsatisfactory acknowledge
ment of the supremacy and leadership
of HIM who gave His life for a supreme
cause.

Halle Selassie.

While the major powers and the
League Of Nations are trying to effect
some adjustment of the Italian Ethi-
opian trouble. which may conceivably
set all Europe afiame, Emperor Halle
Selassie, King of Kings and Emperor of
Ethiopia, has engaged in little Haroun
al Raschid enterprise that is calculated
to increase the admiration of his present
sympathizers. 1t is reported from Adds
Ababa, the capital. that the other night
he went forth from his palace clad in
peasant costume to see how his people
were living. whether the streets were
clean and the policemen were on the
job. When he returned he found three
of the imperial palace gates barred and
on seeking entrance at each of these he
was arrested by the sentry and released
only when a sergeant was summoned.
At the fourth gate he was allowed to
enter. Thereupon the Emperor deco
rated the three soldiers who had denied
him admittance to his own palace and
disciplined the one who had passed him
through the gate.
This adventure may not be regarded
as a gallery play. The Emperor Of
Ethiopia is serious man, who takes
his role and rank quite gravely, with a
high sense of responsibility. He now
faces very stern reality in the menace
of war waged by a greatly superior
power for the taking of large part of
his domain and the subjugation of the
remainder to the status of a dependent
subject state. He is preparing his de-
fense with all his resources and it is
assured that his people will fight lit
orally to the last man. If the SYM
pathy of other peoples is potent in war,
apart from material aid, he will receive
it to an extent that will give him victory
over his enemy.
