A Lesson In Frupalitv


Here's lesson in frugality or why
some people have stuff, mazuma,
sheckels, etc. 1t was copied from an
other paper, so don't think it happened
in The Republican Office, because our
people are not of the character pic
tured.
However, there have been happen
ing almost as bad.
"a couple near here ordered wedding
invitations and announcements, to-
falling 1896. For this they received a
years free subscription to the news
paper and picture of the bride was
published in the society columns with
out the customary charge.
"Price of the cards was chiseled one
dollar to the above figure in order to
land the job. Before the cards were
dry, the prospective bride and groom
were in with several packages of crepe
paper which they wanted cut into small
pieces and which they thought should
be done without charge since the
cards had been printed here This
was done.
"When the newspaper came out
with the story and picture, the couple
asked for an extra copy free-which
they got-and wanted six free copies
sent to her mother-which they didn't
get. Later the groom came in for an
other copy and grudgingly paid a
nickel for it.
To-day, a month later, the bride
wanted still two more copies, which
had to be dug out of the special files.

No wonder he felt triumphant. The
way had been found-at least he thinks
it has been found-to crush the only
remaining opposition left by the cleo
ton, to subdue what he considers an
inimical institution because it has not
been acquiescent, to sweep from his
path the only obstacle in sight; to
teach a lesson to the nine men who had
stood up and said "No, no." when he
wanted them to say eyes, yes" 1t
seems plain that his glee was derived
from the fact that all this can be done
or he thinks it can be done-with an
appearance Of righteousness, under the
cloak of reform and-except to the
discerning-an absence of any sign of
the malice or any indication Of the
vengeful feelings that Turk behind it
all. No wonder he gloated. No Won
der the shouts of laughter rang out
from the assembled press men as he
drolly enunciated his shots at the
justices over 70, whom he now bids
step down, leaving them the choice of
being forced off or reduced to hu-
initiating impotency.

Penitence and Mercy

! Man must not disclaim his
brotherhood, even with the guilt
est, since though his hand be clean
his heart has surely been polluted
by the fitting phantoms Of iniquity.
He must feel that when he shall
knock at the gate Of Heaven no
semblance of an unspotted life can
entitle him to an entrance there.
Penitence must kneel and Mercy
come from the footstool of the
Throne, or that golden gate will
never open.-Nathaniel Hawthorne.

It is clear that in his plan for Gre
form Of the Judiciary" Mr.. Roosevelt
is evading the issue. He proposes to
gain his unconstitutional way by put
ting upon the court judges who will
permit him to gain it. 1t amounts to
search for complaisant and compliant
judges. 1t is not straightforward way
of dealing with the people. If he sue
ceeds it means that the judges will
make the law instead of expounding
and applying it. If he succeeds it will
be terrific stride toward a complete
transition of our system of govern
ment by law to government of men.
1t is the sort of step about which it is
perhaps easy for Mr.. Roosevelt to be
gleeful, but not easy for those who
believe in government by law and not
government by men.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1937-02-11

No one knows definitely who were
the three men with whom-and with
whom alone-Mr. Roosevelt told
friends he had cooperated in formulat-
ing this comprehensive scheme for
bending the courts to the New Deal
will, though it is quite certain none of
them is member of Congress. There
is general feeling that DR.. Felix
Frankfurter, of Harvard, was one and
pretty fair reason for believing Mr..
Donald Richberg another: This, how
ever, is sure-the man who wrote that
message, drafted that bill and set the
stage with his statistics was lawyer
of learning, experience and ability.
From the White House angle he did a
fine piece of literary work, the clever
ness of which it is hard to exaggerate.
There is so much that is seemingly
sound and so much that appears to be
noble-the arguments are so persua-
sively presented and the whole bust
ness so carefully cushioned with ap-
parent concern for the public welfare
that the misleading nature of the
figures and falseness of the implica-
lions are blurred-the actualities al
most hidden from view. And that was
exactly the idea. The whole thing is
ideally framed to permit the Admins
tration publicity forces and journals
tice interpreters to throw themselves
Fundamentally behind the scheme and
blanket the facts. 1t is not surprising
that Mr.. Roosevelt was described by
one correspondent at his press confer
'ence as "gleeful" or that another wrote
of him that "There was such infec-
tious laughter in his voice as he read
one pointed sentence after another
that shouts could be heard in the
corridors outside"

The wolves come out as the shad-
ows gather. They come to kill and
to scatter. Where is the shepherd?
If he is only a hireling, serving
for what may ''be in it" for him,
he will flee. How perfectly this pic
lures religious leaders who, in spite
of their swelling words and ingra-
tiating manners, desert the flock in
the hour of adversely. Fair weather
friends are they, who disappear
when darkness and danger appear.
In the darkest hour Jesus is near
est at hand. He never fails. He
has no fear, for has he not tasted
the bitter death of Calvary's tree
for you and for me? He is the
good shepherd. He giveth his life
for the sheep. Those who have put
their trust in him shall never be
put to shame.
Because he has given his life for
the sheep we must not forget nor
neglect the truth found in verse 16.
There are "other sheep" that have
not yet been brought into the fold.
They must be brought in, and we,
on His behalf, must bring them, that
there may ''be one fold and one
shepherd"

Lesson for February ID
JESUS THE GOOD SHEPHERD

LESSON TEXT-John 10:1.16.
GOLDEN TEXT am the good Shep-
herd: the good shepherd giveth his life for
the sheep. John 10:11.
PRIMARY TOPIC-A Good Shepherd.
JUNIOR TOPIC-The Good Shepherd.
INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC
How Jesus Is Like Shepherd.
YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC
Jesus Our Good Shepherd.
The blind man who had been
healed had been cast out of the
synagogue because he had given the
glory for his healing to Jesus Christ,
(see CHI. 81. The door to that which
stood for all that was sacred to
him had been closed. Whittier
should he turn? Look! here comes
someone seeking him. 1t is Jesus,
who now declares that the door
which men had closed was no true
door at all, for he says, 81 am the
door of the Sheep" Those who pro-
fessed to be shepherding the fiocks
and who had cast this poor man out
were but hirelings. Now he speaks
to the One who says, 81 am the
good Shepherd"
Someone has suggested that the
parable of the good shepherd pre-
sents the whole day in the life of
the shepherd and his flock, morning,
noon, and night, and typifes the
ministry Of Christ on our behalf in
the varying circumstances of life.
]. In the Morning (John 10:1-6).
Flocks were sometimes kept in
the field at night, as was the case
on the night when Jesus was born
in Bethlehem. But ordinarily they
were brought into sheepfold where
many f1ocks gathered for protec-
ton. Thieves would climb the wall
to steal sheep, but the shepherd,
when he came in the morning to
lead forth his flock, entered in by
the door. He called out his flock
by name and they knew his voice.
It is said that only sick sheep
will follow stranger, which may
explain why so many false isms of
our day appeal to the sick and lead
them away from the Good Shep-
herd.
Do you know his voice? Have you
responded to his call? Will you fol-
low him? Decide now.
II. In the Heat Of the Day wv.
7-10).
Perhaps the sheep need to enter
the fold to rest, if so he is the
door. But they may wish to go out
to the pasture-again he is the door.
Belonging to Christ is not bondage.
If any man enter in by Christ, the
Door, he is free to go in and out, to
find pasture, to live for and to
serve him.
''The Door," What striking fig
ure! It is a means of entry, the
only way in. Every door has two
sides and the side we are on de-
termines whether we are inside or
outside-saved or lost. Children
used to sing, and still do:
One Door and only one,
And yet its sides are two
Inside and outside,
On which side are you?

The Power of PRAYER

The greatest thing anyone can do
for God and for man is to pray.
When one understands about pray
er, and puts prayer in its right
place, one finds that it is the doing
that grows out of praying that is
mightiest in touching human
hearts.-S. D. Gordon.

not lessened by the fact that the bill
gives the notwithstanding vacan-
cies-between thirty and fifty juicy
judicial appointments, including six on
the Supreme Court. In these both
Senators and members of the House
are bound to be keenly interested. Not
a few of them have long cherished Su-
preme Court aspirations of their own
and feel that this Reform of the
Judiciary"plan opens the door of OPP
portunity for their friends if not for
themselves. And so it does. With
from thirty to fifty such jobs to hand
out, cynical Senate observers are con-
WINGED the President could put through
a bill to make members of that body
black their faces every Friday after
noon and wear lilies in their hair or do
any other fool thing desired. How
ever, it has been made plain already
that it will not pass without real oppo-
sition and little of the glee may dis
appear before the final vote. There is,
too, the possibility that in the event of
genuinely outraged public feeling
making itself felt, Mr.. Roosevelt may
retreat or at least become perfunctory
in his support as, for example, he was
in the matter of the soldier bonus and
again in the matter of the World
Court. The thing that encourages
those to whom the Presidential purpose
is transparent to believe in the posi-
bilities of such a sentiment, is resent
ment already expressed in some quart
ers over the complete concealment of
his purpose before election. Not one
hint of any such purpose was even re-
motely given, though it is incredible
that it was not contemplated.
1t is interesting that the unfavorable
reaction comes not only from conserva-
tive Democrats like Senator Byrd but
equally from Liberals like Senator
Norris, of Nebraska. The wheel
horses"-the official Administration
leaders-plumped for the plan almost
before they knew what it was and in
spite of the fact that they had not
been consulted or even informed as to
its preparation-merely notified when
it was ready, put on the same basis as
the press. 1t will be interesting, too,
to see what course now takes the val
liant Borah who, just few nights ago,
denounced the effort to tamper with
the Supreme Court and insisted that
altering the Constitution was the
business of the people" and they were
entitled to decide. He did not at that
time have the remotest idea of what
was coming.

What seems to many the indecent
implication that the cage and physical
infrmities" of such justices render
them mentally incompetent and senile
in the main is as unwarranted as the
statistical effort to show that the Su-
preme Court declined to review great
many cases which lawyers sought to
bring before it, because the judges
were tired, or the calendar clogged.
The facts, as almost any posted and de-
tached lawyer will attest, are that no
case which the court refused to review
should have been reviewed and that
the work of the court is kept up to
date and the docket under control. The
complete answer to the whole reform
of the Judiciary" argument in the
measure is that if the Supreme Court
had decided the New Deal measures
were constitutional instead of I'M
constitutional, the proposal Mr.. Roose-
welt now makes to reform the Judi
ciary" would never have been thought
of by hinl-and everybody knows it..
So far as the enactment of the law by
Congress is concerned, it is possible to
block it through the aroused sentiment
of a people who fundamentally react
against executive domination of the
judicial branch and realize that back
of the crefully worded message is the
determination of the President not to
be stopped either by courts or Con-
stitution. Roosevelt prestige and Ad-
ministration propaganda are counted
upon to smother any such sentiment
and the Washington belief is fairly
strong that the sheer White House
weight will insure its passage.

Selling The Court

Now that the shock attendant upon
the sudden disclosure of the Presi-
dents plan to circumvent the Consti-
tuition and seize the Supreme Court
because that is what it is-has been
measurably absorbed, certain things
are clear. Among them is that the
true purpose of this extraordinary pro-
posal is concealed in as able, plausible
and disingenuous a document as has
come from the White House in long
time.
