The Arnory Site.

The Presidents recommendation for
an immediate appropriation Of funds
necessary to acquire land at the end Of
East Capitol street as the site for .
National Guard Armory will, it is hoped,
bring the necessary action by Congress
before the end of the session.
The site has been reserved, in the plans
Of the city planners, for many years for
a development that will be in keeping
with its Importance Many suggestions
have been made for its use, but the COM
bined armory and stadium has appealed
to many as the most logical. The city
needs both and the site has been con-
sidered ideal, providing the opportunity

1t is evident that the time has come
again in our life where the admonition
OF another day needs to be needed:
Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty"
In one Of the most dramatic incidents
In the life OF Jesus, an attempt was made
by His arch-enemies, the Pharisees, to
confuse and embarrass Him by raising
the question as to whether 1t were proper
to pay tribute to Caesar. His enemies
well knew that the yoke that Caesar and
Rome had laid upon His country was
wholly repusnant. In answer to this
query Jesus called for q Roman coin,
and noting on it = relief portrait OF
Caesar, He answered, saying: Whose
image and superscription is this?" When
HIS enemies responded, Caesars" Jesus
replied in definite words: Render there
fore unto Caesar the things that are
Caesars and unto God the things that
are Gods" He refused to be trapped
by their subtle question. His answer
makes evident His mind that duty to
the State and duty to God are one and
inseparable. Civic and social RESPONSE
bility. with reverence for and obedience
to God 60 together. He would not
separate His followers from their re-
sponsibility and obligation to the world
In which they were placed. There was
nothing Of the monastic about the teach
Ing OF Jesus. He did not live apart from,
but with men. He conceived of His
teaching as being Immediately and prac-
tically related to human concerns. In
His great prayer for His followers, He
said: Not out Of the world, but keep
them from the evil in the world"
1t Is undoubtedly true that we best
exemplify our loyalty to Christ and His
teaching by a just and consistent recog-
milton Of our civic, social and industrial

THE CHRISTIAN AND THE STATE,
BY THE RIGHT JAMES FREEMAN, D. D., IL D, D. C. L.
BISHOP WASHINGTON.

There has long been a question as to
the propriety Of the church, n An insti-
tuition. indulging in questions and dis
cussions that concern the State. A min
istry engaged In political matters has
not been accorded by the general public
place either acceptable or consistent.
We have largely shared this point Of
view and we still hold to the conviction
that the church, as an institution, loses
Its unique place and distinction when 1t
indulges In party and purely political
concerns. The church has to do with
principles rather than policies. On the
other hand, we may hot forget that in
sistence upon principles sometimes leads
to the discussion OF policies. The recent
Supreme Court issue is . case in point.
During the Revolutionary period the
church took It's proper and consistent
stand In seeking to free the colonies
from the overbearing rule OF = foreign
monarch. 1t Joined with other agencies
OF the State in maintaining that taxa
ton without representation was In
equitable and unjust.
On the question Of slavery, the church
might have taken . very much more
conspicuous stand under those leaders
who believed in It's abolition. There have
been other occasions where weighty issues
were before the State and Nation where
1t might have Injured to the lasting benent
OF the church II 1t had afiirmed with all
its power its convictions and reasoned
position. We submit that fine discrimi-
nation should exercise the church's
judgment In all matters that concern
political action. On the other hand, 4
too conservative and passive course may
issue in bringing the church into disre-
pute with great masses Of our people.
Such a question as world order and
peace is more than = political question,
and the church cannot with consistency
yield to the supremacy Of diplomats and
chancellories for decisions that affect the
lives OF vast numbers Of people. We
believe 1t was Lloyd George who afflrmed
that If another world war ensued the
responsibility for 1t would largely be
with the churches. Certainly there Is
sufficient in the teaching OF Jesus that
warrants the exercise OF strong Christian
convictions where great principles are at

more with the dollars they have than at
any time since the boom year of 1919.
Farmers are known as the great
American individualists. Their one big
desire, presumably, is to be let alone.
But in the midst Of prosperity, made
more enjoyable by a half-billion- dollar
subsidy from city taxpayers, the mere
sight of declining prices of some COM
modities, due to the prospect of big crops,
has caused farmers to rush to Washing
ton with a cry for help. Congress sud-
denly is in dither. Senators who had
vowed to battle the New Deal and to drive
the President into political exile are
rushing to the White House asking for
favors In the form of new subsidies for
their constituents.
It is much the same story all down the
line.
Government has given important
groups Of the population taste of the
subsidies and the controls it is able to
dispense. There have been income guar
antees for farmers, wage guarantees for
industrial workers, subsidies for home
owners and wages for those left Idle by
industry.
OF late there had been signs return
ing prosperity would wean the subsidized
groups away from their subsidies. Con-
sress appeared ready to 60 back to the
good old days when there was no need
for haste and when the folks back home
were rather easily satisfied.
But the minute President Roosevelt
tried to stop one subsidy in the form of
a low-interest rate on loans to prosper
Gus farmers, both houses of Congress
quickly overrode his Veto And just the
moment that the price of cotton started
to decline, Senators began parking on

THE MESSAGE OF THE ROSE

Only a Rose, so blushing red
Like a first kissed maiden dropped
its head.
And seemed to say strange things
to me,
OF how romance and love should
be.
One petal shaped like a broken
heart,
One bled where faithless Cupid's
dart
Had pierced it through, then turned
a side,
Striving his faulty bow to hide.
One petal curved, in laughing glee,
Making a soul sick fool of me
Whose love too oft had been denied
Nor wept, because of sacred pride.
One, nesting on the p%ollened
breast,
The joy, and envy of the rest
But all together seemed to be
The par to Gods Ininity.
Oh, gorgeous, blushing, laughing
Rose
Your broken heart may not dis
close
How many first kissed hearts have
bled
Nor why the Red, Red Rose is red,

PARTING OF THE WAYS

The best of friends must part:
That is understood right from the
start.
So while you are having a good
time
Remember what I say; for some
day
We come to the parting of the
ways.
Even in the street where old fri
ends meet,
Comes the parting of the ways,
In the family circle where is
found the tie that binds,
Comes again the parting of the
ways, in due time.
Though you may love and be kind
in every word you say,
There'll come a time when you'll
face the parting of the way.
Don't be surprised don't be alarm
ed
Just wait until the passing storm,
Take it easy my friend,
For you must come to the parting
of the ways.
