UNIVERSAL BIBLE SUNDAY

1t is fitting that once each year the
attention of the nation should be
focused on the Bible. Elsewhere in
this issue is a statement of the Gov
ernor endorsing Universal Bible Sun
day to be observed in the churches of
the land on December IL. Whatever
ones shade of religious belief he is
bound to pay his respect to the Bible.
On the Bible all branches of the Chris
tian church unite. The Old Testament
comprises the Sacred Scriptures of the
Jews. The Bible was the chief book
of the fathers Of our country Out of
its teachings grew our schools, our
colleges, the customs of our courts and
the notable humanitarian enterprises
that mark our nations life. 1t is in
extricably woven into our literature.
Its phrases form the title of our most
popular books. The Bible has outlived
all other books. Emerging from a
hOary antiquity it is today the worlds
best seller. Written in languages
long dead it has been preserved in its
entirety in ia other tongues and has
been in part translated into over 800
more. The vigor with which it is find
ing its way into the languages of the
race is not abating for, according to
the American Bible Society, some por-
ton of the Scriptures is appearing in
a rev tongue at the rate of one every
four or five weeks.
This is a phenomenon without
parallel and should give pause to
every serious student of our nations
life and the life Of the world. No man
can consider himself well-posted who
does not know this book. Though a
volume of more than thousand pages
it can be bought for few cents. Do
you own Bible? Do you read it?

\ Correspondent Regrets The RumOr
AGoat That An Old Graveyard In
The County Is To Be PlOwed Up
And Planted In Potatoes, But
Takes Consolation In The Fact
That The Potatoes Should BE OF
Good Quality Because Those Bur
led Beneath Them Were Good
Jelfersonian Democrats, \ Nom
Existent Brand In The Days OF
The New Deal
To the Editor of The Republican.
A rumor is atloat in the Gortncr and
Sunnyside neighborhoods that the old
Rhinehart graveyard there, now over
grown with bushes and briers, is to
be cleared up and planted in the fam
Gus Garrett County potatoes.
Doubtless potatoes will do well in
the old graveyard where Mrs. Rhine
hart was buried in 1884 and Mr..
Rhinehart in 1840-almost century
ago.
George Rhinehart was one of the
earliest settlers in "The Glades" and
probably the most prominent man
hereabouts in his day. Potatoes raised
on his grave should also have relig-
ious flavor, since he was a leading
founder of "The First Church of
Christ in Youghiogheny Glades,' as
he calls it in his deed for the land
signed in 1927, mother of the present
Lutheran church at Red House. Also
they should have Democratic flavor,
Rhinehart being the first Jetfersonian
Democrat, according to Meshack
Browning, who wrote of politics be-
fore the War Of 1912:
"All the voters in the Glades
country were Federalists, except one,
old Mr.. George Rhinehart."
Yes, Rhinehart graveyard potatoes
should equal or surpass those grown
on the graves of Judge and Mrs.
Simpkins at General Braddock's Bear
Camp at the foot of Keyser's Ridge.
We suggest that the County Agent
put the first crop on exhibition plainly
marked:
Best quality potatoes, fortified
with the ashes of George and Susanna
Rhinehart, pioneer settlers and ances-
tors of some of our leading, wealthy
citizens"

BISHOP SCORES
COURT PLAN
ON HILL
Bishop Freeman Hits
Proposal in His
Testimony
BY WILLIAM X. HUTCHINSON
international News Service

The Rt. Rev. James E. Freeman,
Bishop of Washington, today as
sailed President Roosevelt's court
plan as tending to destroy the in
dependence of the Federal judict'
airy to a point where American de-
mocracy might become the play
thing of ruthless and self-seeking
despots."
Declaring the nation was under
going a widespread contempt for
law, Bishop Freeman warned the
Senate Judiciary Committee that
any curb on the constitutional
powers of the Supreme Court
would result only in destroying
the "mightiest safeguard created
for the protection of the under.
privileged and ill-favored."
The bishop declared:
Labor and capital stand alike
on a common level before court
that knows no distinctions and
grants no favOrs. E.
"Once tamper with this august ,
tribunal and its independence
and we have paved the way that,
under the new and changed
conditions and under selfish and
constituencies leaders, may lead
to a situation that would make
this great democracy an
Oligarchy.
eve shall not have to seek far
for glaring examples of a civil
and religious liberty sacrificed
and destroyed; sacrificed and
destroyed by those who in their
lust for power do violence to
every hallOwed and sacred right
for which men have Striven and
suffered in their upward climb
to independence and freedom"
DR.. Wallace C. Calvert, pastor
Of Grace Methodist Church, In
diapolis, followed Bishop Freeman
to attack the Presidents plan as
a Trojan horse" which might
lead to the destruction of re-
ligious liberties. He warned:
There was a day when we
could conceive of tyranny COM
ing from without; now we must
be prepared to find it within"
Meanwhile, the proposed McCar
ran compromise for the Roosevelt
Supreme Court plan appeared
headed for defeat in the Senate
Judiciary Committee. 1t may b.
adopted later by Congress if ap
proved by the President.
The compromise, sponsored bS
Senator McCarran CD of Ne
vada, would authorize the appoint
ment of two new justices to thC
Supreme Court and limit its flu
ture membership to II. 1t also
would authorize appointment Of
new justices in the lower Federal
courts, wherever judges are ovel

increase in the number of minor
