SERMONS SHOULD
he INSPIRING

Last summer | went to a white
church in a New England town. The
preacher for the day was a famous
man from a big city. The church was
only about one-tenth filed. Even his
famous name was not enough to pull
people away from the cool woods
and beaches.
When the preacher arose to an
nounce his text. | thought: Now
We'll catch it. We shall be told that
these empty pews mean that the
world is going to the dogs. We few.
who have come to church. shall be
crucifed for the sins of those who
have stayed away"
But I was due for a pleasant sur
prise. He announced a text from
Paul's letter to the Corinthians. He
explained that In this passage Paul
was really making a plea for a gem
erous collection from the Corinthi-
ans for the struggling churches else
where. Having told them how kin |
they are. how courageous, how
faithful. Paul concludes by saying,
in effect: "Since you have all these
many good qualities. l ask you to
have also this grace which was in
Christ Jesus. who being rich became
poor for our sakes'.''
The preacher then proceeded to
tell us what a grand thing it is to
belong to the human race-how
good people are. how courteous to
each other. how brave under their
sufferings, how hopeful in the face
Of an inscrutable Fate. He said that
God created men and women be-
cause He wanted companions and
that He was pleased with His crea-
ton.
He made us all proud of our hui
manity. and sent us out more cheer
full and better able to fight the
week. l wonder why there are not
more such sermons?

President Roosevelt's unexpected
message to Congress for legislation
authorizing him to add six justices
to the nine who now constitute the
Supreme Court is regarded here as
the most important and ~far-reaching
proposal yet put forward as a New
Deal measure. Nothing which the
President has said or done has ever
raised such controversy.
While his message to Congress
contained recommendations for
many needed reforms In the proceed
ure of the Federal Courts in gener-
al. these are almost lost sight of in
the discussions Of his major request
and upon which members Of his own
party are still sharply divided.
In brief. the Presidents proposal
is that whenever any Federal judge,
having served ten years. upon reach
ing seventy, the age Of permissive
retirement. fails to retire. the Presi-
dent may appoint an additional
judge to sit in that court. and as
many as six such additional judges
to the Supreme Court.
That this proposal has its basis in
the refusal of the Supreme Court to
uphold the constitutionality of many
New Deal statutes is generally ac-
cepted here. In his message the
President expressed the view that
the older judges are out of step with
the times. New facts become
blurred through old glasses, fitted,
as it were, for the needs Of another
generation" he said.
Court Retirement Age
OF course, if any Supreme Court
Justice now past seventy should re-
tire now on full pay for life. the
President would need no further
authority than he already has to APP
point his successor.
Four consistent opponents of ad-
ministration legislation are among
the six Supreme Court members who
could retire at full pay now. They
are: Van Devanter. II, Republican;
McReynolds. rs, Democrat: Suther-
land, IA, Republican: Butler. 10,

found even longer words more wonderfully
compounded than the chemical products
which they describe. For example, tetra-

were condemned and told that condi-

what do we see? Certainly the scene
is different one. But ip, il are clearly
the signs of a fepetition OF some of

Still another development is a re-
minder that tendencies of the past
are still with US. Because we suffered
from a serious drop in prices. various
devices were tried TO check the de-
cline and TO raise prices. Trained
economists pointed out that the de-
valuation Of the dollar and other
schemes could have little immediate
effect. but that their long run influ-

in prices that probably could not be
controlled. They were brushed aside.

no easy answer to current economic
questions. As each problem comes
