praise. This is called the "Magniti-
cat" because Of the first word In
the Latin version, ''My soul doth
magnify the Lord" As pointed out
by another, three features Of her
character stand out In this song.
a. Her purity Of heart. Only q
pure heart rejoices when God has
come near.
b. Her humility. She forgot her
self and gave her heart to Gods
praises.
c. Her unselfishness. She did not
primarily think of the undying hon.
or which through the ages should
be attached to her, but the blessed
ness which would come on future
generations through her.
%. The Content Of her Song (vv.
46-5S).
l. For salvation wv. 48-49). It
was salvation for herself and 9TH

ever In this song that she thought
of herself as the mother Of God.
She praised God for the high dis
tinction of being the channel
through which the eternal Son Of
God was to make contact with the
race and save 1t. This high distinc-
ton wrought humility In her soul.

had almighty power, that he was
absolutely holy and abundant in
mercy.
3. For what the Savior shall ac-

a. He was to scatter the rebel

Though he is exceedingly merciful
and patient, the time is coming
when all who reject him shall be
scattered.
b. He was to exalt the loWly.
How wonderfully this has been ac-
complished through the centuries.
Those who turn from sin and exer-

c. He filed the hungry. 1t Is
through Jesus Christ that good Is
gained for the hungry. Indeed, all
blessings come through him.
d. He sent the rich away empty.
BY the rich no doubt is meant those
who have arrogated to themselves
Importance because of the posses

keeping his promises. That which

bodily forms, for we were con-
scious of the Body of Christ, being
Almighty God, Principle, Spirit
and Mind, even though the Body
of Father Divine whom 2S,000,000
know as God, as a Principle was
elsewhere, we knew that what that
Body is, Spirit and Mind, was with
US, and always ever-present reality
in our lives, for we know that the
Spirit of the Consciousness of the
Presence of God is the source of
all supply. And will satisfy ever
good desire.
We were pleased to have with US
as our guest speaker, one of the
city aldermen, a Mr.. Swanson, who
spoke about the condition of the
city. Mr.. Swanson is alderman of
the 7th Ward.
We had in our midst Mr.. Smith,
who is secretary of the Communist
party in this city. We enjoyed his
talk, as we did all of them that
were our guest speakers. Mrs.
Keith of the Townsend Plan gave
US a resume of the plan, for which
we were pleased to have heard.
We were glad to have with US a
man who has run for various
political offices, on the Communist
tickets, a Mr.. Sjodin of this city.
He spoke at length on the city at
fairs. We wish him success.
A sister spoke on the Direct
Credits Plan by Mr.. Slawson. We
enjoyed Sister Knauf's talk very
much. We will be happy to have
these with US again.
The children were singing
Praises of Father Divine, God, for
the wonderful work He is doing in
the hearts and minds of mankind,
unconscious as they are of what
is going on in the midst of their
own bodily forms. For we are the
temples of the True and Living
God, and God in the midst of you
is being resurrected by the Spirit
and Mind of Father Divine, as it
has been reflected to all mankind.
Millions are conscious of the
Presence of God in their hearts
and minds, and are talking and
walking with God every moment,
thus, as they follow Jesus like
and teachings, the Christ in us is
giving to US Wisdom, knowledge
and Understanding and has healed
our bodies of every sickness known
to mankind.

MARTs SONG OF PRAISE

LESSON TExT-Luke 1:46-5s.
GOLDEN TEXT-My soul doth
magnify the Lord, and my spirit
hath rejoiced in God my Savior
Luke 1:46, AZ.
PRIMARY TOPIC - Why Mary
Sang.
JUNIOR ToPIC-why Mary Sang.
INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR
TOPIC-What Our Mothers Have
Done for Us.
YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT
TOPIC-A Mothers Vision and In
duence.
Mary was a Jewish maid Of the
town of Nazareth. The first infOr-
nation we have Of her Is that she
was engaged to be married to JOS
eph, a carpenter of the same village.
1t seems that the custom among the
Jews was for betrothal to take
place a year before marriage.
I. The Occasion Of duke 1:26,
20.
/. Gabrieps announcement wv.
26-37). During this interval Of
betrothal, God sent the angel Gabriel
to announce to Mary that she was
to be the mother Of Jesus. Isaiah,
more than 700 years before, proph-
esied that virgin would give birth
to a son, whose name should be
called Emmanuel, "God with US"
lisa. 7:14). Though at first per-
picked, she accepted the annuncia-
ton with remarkable courage and
devotion. To be told that she was
to be a mother was nothing star
Ting, for this was the normal de-
sire Of every married Jewish wom-
an. Under the circumstances, she
accepted motherhood at a tremen-
dous cost. She was conscious Of
her virgin purity. She knew that
to become a mother under such cir
cumstances would expose her to sus-
picion and shame John SAD.
2. Mary's response ". 3s). Her
faith was such that she responded
with remarkable courage. She said,
Behold the handmade Of the Lord (;
be 1t unto me according to thy
word" She accepted motherhood
under these circumstances as Gods
command. 1t was made clear to her
that the Most High would embody
himself with humanity divinely be-
gotten and that the resultant thing
born would be holy and called the
Son Of God.
8. She visits Elizabeth wv. 39-45)
In her embarrassment she set out
on a visit to an elderly klnswoman
called Elisabeth. Having sought the
sympathy and encouragement of her
friend, her triumphant faith carried
her beyond the misunderstanding,
the scOrn and shame which awaited
her, and caused her soul to burst

IA. Do you prefer a steady girl
or do you prefer to go with a num-
Der? Ans. I prefer a steady girl.
Is. Do you think Communism
will gain much Of a foOthold among
the colored people Of the United
States? Ans. No, at least not at
present. Negroes, as American
people, tend to think politically as
does the American population in
general, and since Communism is
not particularly popular at present
among American people in general,
then I would not expect it to be
popular among Negroes.
Guess what, girls, Davenport
Bill" (that parks his carcass), has
taken the hint. He was actually
seen vending his way to a show
last Sunday, with his girl on his
arm. Just imagine! I think I'll
put in a claim for my services. =.
That girl named Jane certainly has
one pleasing personality, don't you
think I? Our business manager
of the Spokesman and Recorder,
stepped out New Years Eve, didn't
he? I wonder if Eddie, who
was at the dance New Years Eve,
has sobered up enough to eat his
Wheaties? :. I hear the stork is
rushing madly up an down a GER
tain street in st. Paul, looking for
a place to alight. Ut wasn't told
to me, only heard.) Boy,
was that certain South Minneapo-
lis girl mad when she found out
that her boy friend had given his
last years girl a present and had
only given her a Christmas. Card.
(They got me there, I can't see
how the b. f. is going to explain.)
Watch for results next week. They
may break up and then they may
not. It remains to be seen.
Well so long, until next week.

WISCONSIN IN. R. A."
LAW is HELD VALID
Eleven State Codes of Fair Com
petition Are Sustained
Under Ruling.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
MADISON, Wis, January THE
Wisconsin recovery law of 1895, pat
termed after the N. r. A. was held
valid today by the State Supreme
Court.
The effect was to sustain II State
codes of fair competition under which
service trades and industries are now
operating and to pave the way for
adoption of other codes which have
been awaiting test of the laws con-
stitutionality.
The question presented was whether
the Legislature had constitutional au-
thority to confer upon the Governor
the power to initiate and impose codes.
Chief Justice Marvin B. Rosenberg
reading summary of the decision,
declared that this delegation of law
making authority was within the lin
its of the Wisconsin constitution.
The States first recovery law was
first adopted in 1888, but was declared
unconstitutional by the Supreme Court
in 1884 on the ground that it invested
in industries and trades the power OF
lawmaking. which is the function
solely of the Legislature.
A new recovery law. interpreted to-
day, was enacted by the 1885 Legisla-
ture after many months Of pickering
and argument.
1t proposed to meet the objection OF
the old law of placing the response
bility for initiating codes directly upon
the Governor after the manner OF

JAPANESE ARMY
ASKS RETR|BUT|0N
Alleges North Chinese SOL
diers Fired on Officers
Entering Peiping.
BY the Associated Press.

PEIPING, January 7.-Coincideut
with reports of threatened hostilities
in Inner Mongolia, the Japanese mill
tary dispatched a strongly-worded
note to the semi-autonomous North
China government today, demanding
suitable retributicn" for alleged firing
on Japanese officers by Chinese
soldiers.
The note, describing the incident as
an insult to our imperial army,
charged that japanese officers enter
ing Peiping Sunday night were fired
on by troops of Gen. Sung Cheh-
yuan, chairman of the semi-autono-
nous political council for Hopeh and
Chahar Provinces.
Chinese press reports described the
encounter differently, saying the Japa-
nese fired on Chinese soldiers guard
ing the city gates. when the latter
kept the Japanese waiting for the
gates to open.
Dispatches from Kweihwa, Suiyuan
Province, said a wave Of uneasiness
was spreading through that capital
with Chinese reports Of imminent civil
war in Inner Mongolia.
A clash was reported near between
Flu Tso-Yi. governor of Suiyuan, and
Mongolian prince, Teh Wang,
chieftain of the allegedly Japanese
influenced Monaghan Autonomy
League"
The Chinese reports said the gov
ernor was rushing armed forces west
ward along the Peiping -Suiyuan Rail-
road, gathering materials to be used
N fighting the Mongol army of Teh
Wang, which was reported ccncentrat-
ing in the northern part of the prov
ince.
A widespread belief prevailed that
Teh Wang was supported by the Japa-
nese in an attempt to drive Chinese
influence from Northern Suiyuan, for
virtual absorption of that area into
the japanese sponsored state of Man
chukuo.

REPORT ON FIRES
ASKED BY HAzEN
Schrom's Findings on Two
Plazes Fatal to Five to
Be Made Today.

A complete report on the two fires
which claimed five lives in Washing
ton in the last week was asked of
Fire Chief Charles E. Schrom today
by Commissioner Melvin c. Hazen
The report was sought by the Com
missioner in an effort to determine
what preventive measures can be
taken, such as the tightening of fire
regulations, or more frequent inspec-
tons for the location of fire hazards
The Central Labor Union last night
demanded a thorough investigation of
fire hazards in the District and de-
scribed the five fatalities in death
traps" as pointing "tragically" toward
the need for better housing for workers
in Washington.
The recent loss of life by fire, the
resolution said, points beyond ques-
ton to the necessity for Congress i'm
mediately to act to provide adequate,
safe and sanitary low-cost housing in
the District"
The two fatal fires were similar in
that the victims OF both were trapped
when burning wooden staircases cut
of escape. The last fire, in which
Mr.. and Mrs. David Meade Bernard
were burned to death, occurred in
four-story studio and rooming house
at l4ll Twentieth street Sunday
morning.
Three Die in Blaze.
The other fire was at 1017 M street
last Thursday when three persons
were burned to death because they
had no way Of getting down from the
third floor save by way of the flaming
staircase
Bernard, Is. an employe of the A. A.
A. and a student at George Washing
ton University Law School, was the
son Of David M. Bernard, sr educa-
tor of Jacksonville, Fla. He was an
honor graduate Of Davidson College.
Mrs. Bernard, who was %. came
here from her home in Norman, Okla.
She was a graduate OF the University
Of Oklahoma. Bernard's father was
to return the bodies TO Jacksonville
today for burial.
Held Accidental Death.
Coroner A. Magruder Macdonald
issued certificates of accidental death.
Meanwhile, an improvement was re-
ported at Emergency Hospital today in
the condition of Miss Louise Glass, an
employe of the Emergency Conserva-
ton Corp, who suffered a fractured
jaw and other injuries when she
leaped from a third-floor window of
the burning house.
Two other occupants of the house
escaped by climbing from an upstairs
window into a corresponding window
of connecting house.

And did it ever occur to you that
The proverbial mush-headed senti-
mentality of American juries-and
overly sympathetic judges and de-
layed trials, and prolonged appeals
and reversals on trivial technicalities,
and postponement Of punishment
through legal devices, and publicity
seeking Governors, and crooked law
gers in cahoots with known criminals,
and perjury mills, and wardens who
think penitentiaries should be play
houses for coddling naughty boys and
girls; and most of all, the prospect of
quick release for chronic offenders,
regardless Of what outraged prosecu-
tors or thwarted police authorities
may think about it-might have some
bearing also? Before we diagnose
the fruitage, let's analyze the seeds.

Wyatt carp Battles Way Toward
Bay of Whales to Meet
Explorer.

ON BOARD THE MOTOR SHIP
WYATT EARP. January (NANAD,
On her way to meet Lincoln Ellis
worth, who is thought to be at the
Bay Of Whales, Ross Sea, where he
intended to land after a trans Ant
arctic fight, the Wyatt carp. Els
worth's supply ship, is now in the
Devils Graveyard, so named because
of the hundreds of weird-shaped ice
bergs which every traveller to this area
has observed.
All day. she threaded her way
through scattered bergs and pack ice,
but as yet they are of little menace.
The easterly wind and currents which
helped the ship for several days were
lost, and today, in a northerly drift,
she pushed into a westerly wind.
The noon position yesterday placed
the ship within 1000 miles of the Bay
OF Whales. but. by the normal route
for ships having to skirt the ice, the
Wyatt carp must still travel about
1,500 miles to reach the Ross Sea bar
rier.

Saddest untold tale of the old year
is the one about the building mate
rials firm seeking Government con-
tracts
The firm was new to the ways Of
Washington. 1t wanted to get a good
contact man here to deal with the
Government. The name of a promi-
nent Democratic lawyer was suggested
Firm members came here, called the
lawyer on the telephone, went to see
him. Thy agreed upon a fee and the
lawyer undertook to aid them in get
ting the contracts.
Hired Republican Lawyer.
1t was some time later that the
firm discovered a grievous error. 1t
had hired a Republican lawyer by
mistake. His last name was identical
with that of the prominent Demo-
cratic attorney, but their given names
apparently. also, their contacts)
were different.
The Republican lawyer is now
threatening suit for his fee.
The House has unofficially chosen
Representative Knutson of Minnesota
as jeer leader. He has a long record
of distinction in that line.
1t was ne who led the chorus of
outlaws which you may have heard
over the radio near the end of Mr..
Roosevelt's message speech. Three
or four comrades joined in, but no
more than that.
Calmer Republican leaders tried to
shush the catcalling group.
Patman Crowded Out.
A strong personal element lies be-
hind the current bonus dickering
The name of Texas Patman dnfla-
tion bill author) is being crowded out
of the legislation by compromise COM
posers. Believe it or not, this has
stirred more resentment among Pat
man inf1ationites than the admitted
loss of the imitation phase.
Patman has told his associates pri-
vately that he spent $4,000 of his
own money in the bonus fight during
the last eight years. He still owes
about half of it.
Mr.. Roosevelt's dire neutrality
warnings may have sounded as if
he had some inner reasons to expect
war beyond those generally known.
Those who should know about such
things say he has none.
What his diplomatic outposts have
been picking up in the way of inside
tips are along the line of the follow
ing:
Since 1888 the japanese war minis
try has allocated nearly 00.0O0, 900
yen to civilian industries for military
orders Metallurgy. machine building
and chemical works have been ex-
tended. No fewer than 30 new enter
prises have been launched, Is new
departments added to old enterprises
and 20 factories enlarged. Most i'm
portant are the Yawata blast fur
naces, the new Mitsubishi aviation
factory, new aluminium factories in
Fushiki, Niigata and Yokohama, an
airplane factory in Tsurumi and a
