When a Christian sees drunkard
he may we'll say that were it not for
the grace Of God that might have
been his DOOM We are brothers
though one may have been unfor-
tunate and lost out religiously. Here
is a warning not to have an inflated
opinion of ones self.
V. 4. "But let every man prove
his own work, and then he shall
have rejoicing in himself alone, but
not in another We are prone to
make comparisons as touching the
work of others with our own; better
that each of us test our work, our
conduct and our life in terms of the
work, conduct and life of Christ;
then there may be good grounds for
rejoicing; there is a sense of JOY
that comes when one can note spir-
itual progress in his own life.
V. 5. For every man shall bear
his own BURDEN There are duties,
responsibilities calls to service, that
are individual and must be so
accepted; there is sense whereby
one helps others bear burdens when
ones own are we'll borne.
v. 6. "Let him that is taught in
the word, communicate unto him
that teacheth in all good things So
important are Christian ministers
that those who hear the gospel
preached need to make their sup
port possible.
v. Z. ''Be not deceived, God is
not mocked. for whatsoever man
soweth that shall he also reap
This scripture has been chosen for
the quarters temperance lesson and
it is this verse that furnishes the
text. 1t is generally conceded that
drinking alcoholic beverages is hab-
it forming and many times makes
slaves out of those who once said,
81 can stop drinking any time Let
it be conceded that drinking pro-
duces a drunkard and all alike
despise a drunkard The danger is
in the first drink rather than the
last one.
V. 8. For he that soweth to the
flesh shall of the flesh, reap corrup-
ton; but he that soweth to the Spir-
it shall of the Spirit reap life ever
lasting" The man interested in ma
terial things alone is selfish man,
and will find the end Disappointing;
the man who relates himself with
God finds peace and JOY in this life
and eternal life in the world to
come.
V. 8. "Let us not be weary in
we'll doing; for in due season we
shall reap il we faint not The
first thing is to be engaged in we'll
doing; the second thing is to per-
severe.
v. 10. 'As we therefore have OPP
portunity, let US do good to all men,
especially unto them who are of the
household of faith" Love always
desires the good of others; love will
watch for opportunities to do good
and will take special pains that
Gods chosen ones shall be faithful.

PLAN FAILS

Peoples Counsel william A. Rob-
ertS' plan to have the Health De-
partment conduct tests of al. in
buses with borrowed equipment
from the United States Public
Health Service has been aban-
doned and with it all hopes that
Mr.. Roberts had of suing the
Capital Transit Company for per
hitting foul air in buses.
Health Officer George C. Ruth;
land, who had been requested by
Mr.. Roberts to make the tests, in
formed the Peoples Counsel today
that the United States Public
Health Service could not loan per-
sonnet in making the tests and
added that the equipment which
was to be loaned "holds nothing
new and is of the design long in
use by the Bureau of Mines"
DR.. Rutland also stated he per-
Sonally was of the opinion that
any investigation undertaken "at
this time is to be less fruitful than
at a time when the BUSES are
closed" DR.. Rutland wrote that
the Bureau of Standards, which
has been conducting tests for the
Public Utilities Commission on bus
ventilation, is equipped better to
make the investigation.
Mr.. Roberts had planned to have
the tests made and to enter suit
against the street car company
under the Public Utilities act,
which provides the utility must
have reasonably safe" equipment
and makes it liable to a fine Of
5000 a day for each violation
through failure to have such
equipment. Mean while the Utili-

FLOWERS FUND
BILL VETOED

The Federal Government will
not contribute $4,000 for flowers
for the Arlington Memorial Day
services, following a presidential
veto Of a bill authorizing that
amount to be paid to the Veterans
Memorial Day Corporation.
President Roosevelt returned the
bill to Congress today with a mes
sage explaining that he withheld
his signature for one reason, be-
cause he was informed that no
corporation named the Veterans
Memorial Day Corporation exists
in the District of Columbia. and
that if the bill were enacted the
Treasury would be unable to pay
out the money. In addition, the
President said:
"The Federal Government fur.
nishes and maintains burial
grounds for its veterans, fur"
nisheS each grave with properly
inscribed headStOne, and, on
memorial Day places an Amer1-
can flag at the foot Of each
grave. While sentiment properly
favOrs the placing Of flowers on
the graves Of those who have de-
Tended their country, it seems
clear that if the Federal Govern
ment were to undertake this in
the District of Columbia it would
obviously be extended in future
years and at great cost, to the
graves Of all American veterans

cemeteries in the United States,

Gated that it would be some time
