God Provides a Leader, Exodus
3:1-12, for Sunday, July IL:
Moses, a born Hebrew slave babe,
saved from a watery grave, educat-
ed in Egyptian learning, impulsive
in early life, developed in self con-
troll by forty years experience in
shepherd service, where he was call
ed to become IsraePs leader.
V. /. Now Moses was keeping
the flock of Jethro, his father-ln-
law. the priest of INDIAN; and he led
the flock to the back of the wilder
ness, and came to the mountain Of
God unto Hereb." Moses learned
the facts of the wilderness through
which later he was to lead the Israel
ties. Serving we'll in humble places
is a preparation for larger service.
". 2. "And the angel of the Je-
hovah appeared unto him in a flame
of fire out of the midst of bush:
and he looked, and behold, the bush
burned with fire, and the bush was
not consumed" This was picture
portraying the Israelites in their
state of affliction and yet miracu-
lously surviving.
v. ). anu MOoSo oolu, VIII
turn aside now, and see this grea.
sight, why the bush is not burnt. ="
Moses was a good learner having an
inuuiring mind. Progress comes as
a result of discovering cause and ef-
feet.
v. A. "And when Jehovah saw
that he turned aside to see, God call
ed unto him out of the midst OF the
bush, and said, Moses, Moses, and
he said, Here am l." The flame was
a symbol of Gods divine presence.
When Gods presence is recognized,
then may be heard Gods voice.
Moses was true to God since he re-
sponded to Gods will.
V. 5. "And he said, Draw not
nigh hither; put off thy shoes from
off thy feet, for the place whereon
thou standest is holy ground" The
first requirement made of Moses WAS
reverence which is the foundation OF
humility, teachableness and worship.
V. 6. Moreover he said, l am
the God of thy father, the God Of
Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the
God of Jacob. And Moses hid his
face for he was afraid to look upon
God" The fact of God is verified
in the experience of our fathers back
through the ages. This fact is estab-
lished beyond doubt. There is
such a difference between human
nature and God, that at first man is
fearful when God appears.

ADDITIONAL HISTORY OF
DEERFIELD TOWNSHIP

Editor of the Democrat,
McConnelsville, Ohio.
Dear Sir:-The original sources
of historical data for Morgan county
are fast disappearing. Many of your
readers will recall the reports of the
meetings of the Morgan County His
torical and Scientific Society, and a
few, no doubt, attended some Of
these meetings.
One of the objects for which the
society was founded was to preserve
all available original sources of Nor
gan county history, and to provide
place to keep them safe from loss
or damage. 1t is very much to be
regretted that the society passed
away, though while it did live, much
was printed in the local newspapers
which otherwise would never have
been brought out. The Democrat,
especially, devoted much space to
publication of papers read before
the society, and Mr.. Joe Tannehill,
then one of the editors, took much
interest in the society.
AS l go through the papers and
letters left by my grandfather, E.
M. Stanbery, / find much that should
be preserved, and as long as / am
here it will be, but what may hap
pen afterward is problematical, un-
less 1 could persuade the Ohio State
historical and archaeological society
to place them in their archives.
/ find the following manuscript
that l thought might be of interest
to quite few of your readers should
you find space for it's publication:
DR.. Robertson says in his history
of Morgan county, on page 452, ct
seq, that Deerfeld township was or
ganized even before Morgan county.
The earliest record he quotes is dat
ed 1920. While my manuscript is
of date five years later, many of
the names are of those who have
descendants living now in the coun-
ty. The manuscript is headed "Elec-
|tion Of officers for Deerfield town

Widow Darlington's on Monday, 4th

PLEADING INSANITY

1t is universally recognized that
mentally deranged persons are not
legally and morally to be blamed for
linfractions of the law. OF course IN
this connection it may sometimes be
germane to inquire whether the de-
lrangement came about by violation
of the rules of correct living, and
there isn't much sympathy for the
person who has drugged or drunk
himself into insanity.
The law, however, does recognize
| the incompetence of those whose
minds are added, and properly ex-
tends to them some exceptions from
penalties. Nevertheless, it is recog-
nized that too often responsible
criminals have pleaded insanity only
to escape the results OF their mis-
deeds If they successfully prose-
cute this plea before the courts they
are freed and thus released upon So
ciety, again to become potentially
dangerous.
No person, therefore, who makes
a plea of mental arrangement as an
| explanation of crime of violence,
should thereafter be free. If he
| was not insane at the time of COM
hitting the crime alleged, then, up
on a verdict of guilty he should suf-
fer all the pains and penalties pro-
vided But if the jury decides that
his insanity plea is valid, then, in
the interest of all concerned, includ-
| ing himself, he should be kept in
carcerated in place maintained
for the mentally unsound.
| It is rather difficult, on the whole,
to draw the line between full sanity
and arrangement 1t often is argued
that every criminal is lacking in
complete mental coordination and
| unlawful acts. There is a measure
of truth in that belief, but it cannot
be used to keep out of jail or the
| death row every person who sius
| against the law And even if it
should be found to be wholly true,
| then, if the regular punishment is
not TO be administered, at least the
victim of delusion ought to be plac-
ed, and that permanently, where he
can no longer yield to insane inn
pulses.
Probably declaration much near
er the truth is that the criminal,
| though fully understanding right
| and wrong, and appreciating what
will happen if he is caught, allows
his evil propensities, his passions or
his greed to get the upper hand.
Really, there exists too much maw,l-
| ish sentiment about crimes ami
| criminals and too lax notion about
punishment.
Fortunately, the old plea that 81
was drunk and didn't know what /
was doing has lost it's appeal in
most of the courts, because it IS
recognized that nobody has the legal
right to get drunk, and nobody is
| compelled to do it, hence the results
of drunkenness are to be legally as
| cribed to the offender just as if he

IMPACT CAN KILL

JUNEAU GETS GLIMPSE OF
 BALLAD KING
Irving Berlin Party Here Today for Five Hours
 Back Next Week

Irving Berlin, the man who rose from an unknown pianist to the heights of melody, went through Juneau today like swing band through a current song-and was off to explore further the scenes and fishing of his first Alaskan iaunt.
 Accompanied by his family, his photographer, and his c h art d yacht, the Seyelyn II, Capt. Casey Moran, Berlin remained at the Standard Oil docks from 10 am. until 3 pm
 But before he left, he promised to return on August 20-for another six hours in the Capital City.
 Bronzed like a burnt pea, the song king said his voyage is mere ly relaxation and a desire to find cut about the fish and scenes of Alaska"
 The party, consisting of Mrs. Berlin and their two daughters, Mary Ellen, 10, and Linda Louise, D; Sam Goldyn, Jr, 10, son of the producer; and Jack Mckenzie, pho t3grapher, have enjoyed themselves thoroughly, Berlin said.
 So far the Gcldwyn lad had ccught the biggest fish, a 14l2 r3und salmon. However, the others did right well by their fishing catching plenty Of trout and sal mon, especially off Anan Creek.
 That's undoubtedly the bes fishing I have ever experienced, Mir. Berlin said. Why, even Linda Louise caught plenty of trout"
 Jack Mckenzie, however, was bcasting about a bear he met personally-at Smeeton Bay. The photographer was shooting away at the bar, while the latter, entirely o5livious of the entire proceedings,

 Spaulding, who owned the oldest ranch in Southeast Alaska. the old Wadleigh homestead, is survived by his wife, Dora Spaulding, and three children, John West Spaulding, Edith Dora Spaulding, and Billy Victor Spaulding. He is also sur vived by three children by former marriage, a daughter in Oakland, and two sons in Portland.

walked to within seven feet oi Mckenzie.
 There I was" the photographic exclaimed There was the bear only seven feet away. The cliff was behind me. Another move of that bear and would have broken the acquaintance by jumping down the cliff. But we simply look ed at each other. And now I'm just dying to get glimpse of those shots after they're developed in Hollywood
 All in all, the party took about 2,00O feet of motion picture film and about 400 still pictures of bears and glaciers.
 After they return to Juneau, the party will pick up Lee Considine, guide, for use in a goat and deer hunting expedition.
 The song master said he had a piano on board and when the mood strikes him, he said, he picks out a tune. But so far, he hasn't com posed an Alaskan ditty.
 The party left Seattle August l, and is due back in several weeks. Berlin is now working on a picture, Alexander's Rag Time Band, for 20th- Century Fox and is also aid ing tunes for a new R-K-O picture featuring Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers.

CUnited Press Stan COrrespondent)
 Geneva, Sept. 16.-(UP)-Great Britain and France moved today to enlist the cooperation of the United States in League of Nations action on Chtna's appeal for aid against Japanese aggression.
 A few hours before Q League Council meeting at which China planned to demand league action against Japan, British and French delegates urged-apparently with success-that Dr. V. K. Wellington Roo, chief Chinese delegate, defer 8 proposed request that the league in- yoke Article XVII of its covenant.
 This article provides that non- member nations, like Japan, shall be invited to participate in any dis- cussions concerning them. If the non-rnember refuses, the league con- tinues with its action. Japan has already made 1t clear she would dout any league effort to intervene in her war against China.

 Britain and France urged China to delay invocation of Article XVII in hope that United States coopera- ton might be obtained.
