RADIANT LIVING
The Dawn of Infinite Day
By Rev. C.. M. Griffeth
1-I NJ tn GlL
Pastor Calvary M. E. Church
Sudlersville, Md.

Sudlersville, Md.
You could never possibly be as dis
couraged as were the disciples when
they returned from the place of cruel
fixion and shut themselves up with
their despair in that little upper room
in Jerusalem.
In losing their Christ, the disciples
felt that they had lost their all. The
ordeal of His crucifixion had eclipsed
their faith.
But the Good Shepherd was not I'M
mindful of His panic stricken sheep.
In the midst of their respair He sud-
denly appeared, that they might be-
hold Him alive, hear His voice, grip
His hand, and if need be, to convince
them of the resurrection fact, to
thrust their hand into the wound in
His side.
Nor is the Risen Christ unmindful
of you. In those midnight hours of
yours, when darkness is the most in
tense, the Good Shepherd is whisper
ing into your ears of faith, "Lo, am
with you always!"
Oh, why do we not resognize that
with us also is the presence of the
Living Christ? To him to whom has
come the consciousness of His living
presence, no night can be quite so dark
again; no despair can be quite so
gripping as before; no doubling can
be quite so undoing as in the past.
Your present ordeal which seems to
be as night of horrors may in real
ity be the ushering in unto you the
dawn of an infinite day, a day which
is infinite because it brings with it
an undeniable and unfading realization
of the presence of the Living Christ,
a day in which you will enter into a
closer and a more vital fellowship
with the God of Infinite Love!

error in Tax Bill
Claimed by Lawyer
BY RAYMOND CLAPPER

WASHINGTON. May 16.-Although the new tax
w bill passed by the House is aimed at undis-
tributed SURPRISES and is supposed to exempt from
taxation corporation which pays out all of its
earnings in dividends, one tax lawyer has worked
out an example which he believes proves that the
bill fails to do that
He shows that a corporation, which pays out
its entire earnings of $1000000 in dividends might
still have to pay tax of 221s per cent $375 900
of those dividends.
That is, the corporation having paid out all of
its earnings, would have to dip into its capital to
meet taxes. Such situation would arise when part
of the corporations Stock-nore than so per cent
owned by another corporation Dividends paid
to such corporate stakeholder could be charged
off credit for distributed income as the bill
stands.
This lawyer goes to say that such case
could be taken into court a ground of unconsti-
tutionality.
He believes that the tax-paying corporation and
its individual stockholders could claim diScrimina-
ton under the due process clause, both being pen
allied by the uncomfortable circumstance that third
party-a corporation-had gathered up block of
stock in the company, possibly without their prior
knowledge or consent.
President Roosevelt has indicated in the work
relief controversy that he has the last word over
Congress. He made it clear Yesterday that even
though Congress passes a law saying that Harry
Hopkins and WA must spend all relief money, he
can save DR.. Tugwels Resettlerient Administration
from extinction.
All he has to do is to make Tugwe an agent of
Hopkins Then Hopkins would technically draw the
money specified by Congress- and turn it over to
Tugweu. Mr.. Roosevelt doesn't care who signs the
checks. Let Congress decide that He will decide
who handles the money.

Main Talking Point

nNE of the main talking points of contemporary
penology is that which relates to the alleged
benefits of the classification of prisoners There is no
doubt of the value of such To try to treat
hardened criminals and first offenders young and
old and male and female. in one indiscrimnate mass
is obviously futile But classification only the first
step toward effective reformatory treatment If we
simply classify and segregate prisoners and then do
nothing to fit them for a law-abding life we have
done no more than promote administrative conve-
nience.
What really counts is where classification is the
preliminary stage to intelligent encouragement of
reform efforts. Much was done along this line at
the George Junior Republic and in the Mutual We'll
fare League of Thomas Mott Osborne. But the
furthest development of the principle has taken
place recently in the Norfolk Prison in Massachu-
sets, where classification is viewed primarily as an
aid to intelligent, reformative treatment of prison.
erS.
The unemployment of prisoners is today a major
scandal ana recent legislation has tended to make
the situation even than the old deplorable con-
tract system of industry Nor do prisons train men
effectively to get job when they leave. Even the
best OF them provide inadequate training often in
lines of work for which there is no great demand
outside.
Overcrowding is another outstanding evil that has
been aggravated rather than relieved in the last So
