ECONOMIC
HIGHLIGHTS
Happenings That Affect the Dinner
Pals. Dividend Greeks and Tax
Bills of Every Individual Ma
tiOnal and International Problems
Inesparable from Local Welfare.

The march of New Deal legisla-
ton through the courts continues.
Within the past three weeks, three
major Administration measures have
been subjected to judicial scrutiny
and two of the three have been
found wanting Last words. Of
course, will be said by the Supreme
Court, when it meets for its next
term, but present decisions provide
a lead on what the highest court Of
all is likely to decide.
First Ease concerned the Agricul-
tural Adjustment Administrator.
This bureau pays farmers for re-
stricting their crops, raises the
money throuih PROCESSING and floor
taxes. Plaintiff in the cas- was a
milling company, which had refused
to pay $4,000 demanded by the col
lector Of internal revenue. In the
district court, the government was
upheld, and the company was ord
cred to come through with the
$50, 0O0 1t appealed to the district
court in Boston, which reversed the
lower court, by a 2-to-1 decision, and
held that Congress did not possess
the power to delegate taxing author
ity to the Secretary of Agriculture.
If this decision is given validity by
the Supreme Court, the Government
may have to refund processing taxes
already collected, and pay future
benefits out of regular funds.
Second case concerned the policy
Of the Public Works Administration
in condemning land to use for low
cost federal housing projects. This
is very close to the heart of Secre-
tary Ickes, wha has planned g.
$4,000 900 slum clearance and
low-cost housing program Suit was
brought by a property owner who
did not wish to sell at the Govern
ment's price, wished to bargain for
greater compensation The Cincin-
natl circuit court upheld for the
plaintiff, said that the Government
has not the power to condemn land
for this purpose.
Third case involved, one Of the
most debated of Administration
activities-the Tennessee Valley Au-
thority. A few months ago a suit
vas brought to restrain the Author
ity from selling electric power in
competition with private producers
and to invalidate contracts made be
tween the Authority and various
towns in the Tennessee area Fed
eral District Judge Grub held for
the plaintiff, decided the contracts
were illegal. The Government ap-
pealed to the Appellate court in New
Orleans, and the judges overruied
Judge Grub, decided that the Gov
eminent can sell power in competi-
ton with private parties.
Thus the New Deal came to the
bar three times-won once, and lost
tiwce. This is similar to past expert
ence, and illustrates a fact recog-
nized by Administration friends and
opponents alike-that much of tn e
legislation proposed and pushed by
the President cannot be held valid
without Constitutional change. And
that promises to be the prime plank
in next years general election

The influence of poetry will be Ihe them of the Visual Service at saint Paurs Methodist Episcopal eiiurch, East Farm street to-mor- row evening at 7:30 o'clock. This service is the anniversary of the fiiauEuration of a specialize service of worship, using modern methods of lighting and projection to illus 1rata religious truth. During this period of one year Saint Pauls has enjoyed some of the largest at- tended services in the history Of the church, and at times one of the few churches Tn the city that hes had we'll attended evening service.
 With few exceptions the attend ance due to weather conditions the service has gone below the two hundred mark and at times those attending have been turned away due to the lack of seating capacity Few churches have ever been able 4o foster constant illustrated pro- gram through a period of so great a length. These services have al- ways been purely worshipful and evangelistic with the pastor H. lustrating the truth of the message on the screen.
 Tomorrow evening more than one hundred slides will depict the Literary Shrines Of New England and a Motion Picture of the life of John Greenleaf Whittier, the famous New England poet of na- ture and Americas greatest reli- gious poet; also the life of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, the poet laureate of the common human heart. The way in which Christian faith and church has influenced the work of these famous Ameri- can poets and the contribution their works have made to the deepening of the spiritual life in human experience will be illus trated by pictorial visits to places where they lived and found inspir- atioil for their writings.
 New England is rich in the shrines of literary history and the lives and famous poems of William Cullen Bryant, Ralph Waldo Em- erson, James Russell Lowell, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, and John Greenleaf Whittier. The Poems of Mir Whittier that will have special rendering by the pas- tor are-The Cable Hymn, The Barefoot Boy, Unity, The Three Bells and Our Master; published in 1866 and which is the basis for some of the very best hymns of the church revealing trust in God in

may be wrong, or one right and the rest wrong, or all partly right and partly wrong. All may, however, be equally sincere. It Is for those who conscicnti0usly differ to re- solve to respect one anOther's royalties and to ascribe to others the sincreity which they claim for themselves, and to cooperate with others so far as 1t is possible without sacrifice ing conviction In all realms of common interest and concern.
 We shall deal i'm this column from time to time, more spc- officially with the points Of unity in each faith. Questions along this line are invited from readers.
 o. Is there 8 command in the Jewish religion that rabbis must be married?
 A. There is no special law concerning fabbis. The general commandment contained in the first chapter of Genesis that man be fruitful and multiply and iiIl the earth has been considered by Jewish tradition Rs obligatory on all Jewish Snales of the pn0pef age. Or- thOdOx communities invariably demand that their rabbis be married. This is not so with reformed congregations.
 Q. What are the essential differences between the Greek and the R m a n Catholic churches?
 A. Rev. Demetrlus B. Zema of FOrdham university an. styers; Before fO58 the Greek church was essentially the same as the Roman Catholic church. both subject to the same spiritual head. the RO- man P0ntjff, bDth believing the same body of doctrine. Since the break. however, while the Catholic church remained on it's ancient ground, the Greek (riOW cAIlihg itself ssOrthO- dox") developed a number of dOctrinaI and disciplinary di- verEences of which the most essential are: (1) Its. rejection of the primacy of jurisdiction and infallibility of the Pope, though 1t still acIxn0wledges the Roman Pontiff as the hon. / Sry chief of the Christian churches; (a) It's lack of or. Ganic upity; (3) the doctrinaI dfyerEenoes among its mcm- bers on doctrines which admit of no diyergences within the Catholic church, such as the procession Of the Holy Ghost, the Immaculate Conception. the indissolubliity of marriage, Nzt|1l SE

o. Most of the contribu- tions to this column confine themselves to religious diff ferences of opinion. Would it not be possible to disclose points of unity as well? After all, God and truth are one and as all religious faiths and prophets worthy of the name urge unity between God and man through reflection of di- vine attributes, it stands to reason that the more each faith mirrors forth the divine will and likeness, the more they
 would resemble each other.
 A. It is true that the tiiree faiths, Protestant, Catholic and Jewish dealt with fin this Column have very much in common. Each. for example believes in God and the divine FatherhoOd, all claim as their own the great Hebrew prOph- cts and each recognizes the soc cial iMplicatiOns of the faith that 1t possesses. All believe fin a spiritual interpretation O1 life and i'm those broad moral Fundamental upon which worthy character dcpends. Each rejects and opposes any materialistic philosophy which is atheistic and ifreligiOns. In very many things of the most fundamental ifnpOrtance they resemble each other very closely. Each of these faiths, however has its own dAstinc. tive convictions which are very precious and iinp0rtant to 1t. 1t is true that if truth is one, those who differ with respect to it cannot aIi be right.

- Weekly Sunday School Lesson-
 Peter Unmasks Falsehood

undergone the necessary experi- ence that enables them to respond naturally and sincerely are, never theless, too weak to express their dissent.
 So they profess to live according to the ideal while the reality of their lives is very different.
 Thus it was that Ananias and Sapphira, his wife, possessing property, did not say, as they might have said, we are not willing to give all this as others are giving" Instead, they pro- fessed to be giving it all but they actually kept back part of the price.
 They came laying their gifts at the apostles feet, professing to yield their all, where they were withholding much for them selves.
 The condemnation in our lesson was not because they did not give 1t up, but because, as Peter said to them, they had lied to the Holy Spirit. The property was theirs; while they had it, it was in their power. But when they prOfessed to give 1t to purposes of the churck and kept 1t for themselves, it be- came a different matter.
 '
 The unholy use of holy things is further illustrated in the story of Peter and simon Magus-a man who was not a saint at heart, but 8 magician who. desired to have the power that he saw the apostles exercising, and who imagined that 1t could be bought with money. The sin of this Simon the ma gician was the sin of those who try to commercialize religion, who take the holy things that ought to be above all self-interest and profit and turn them to their own base ends.
 Against all such Ananiases and Sapphiras and Simons, one must set the beauty and integrity of Christian character and action, the beauty of supreme and self sacrificing devotion. The height and glory of the Christian witness must never be compromised by re- gard for those who fail to live up to their profession.
 It is not by the failure of men, by their weaknesses and hypoc- risies, that we should judge the truth and the Christian ideal, but by the triumphant living of those who measure up to the supreme test.
