LUTHERANS
OPEN MISSION
Christianity Shown as Dis

Not an Opiate

The preaching mission at Grace
Lutheran church was begun last
night with a full attendance to
hear the first sermon of the visit
ing preacher, Rev. Voigt X. Gro
mer, pastor of st. James Lutheran
church of Concord.
Rev. Mr.. Cromer spoke last
night on the subject, christian
ity's Power to Disturb" using the
statement of Jesus in Luke :49
as the text: II am come to send
fire on the earth" Introducing
his message, the Concord minister
spoke of the charge many critics
are making against Christianity,
calling it an opiate, a drug, lulling
people into drowsy contentment
with things as they are.
In answer to this accusation the
preacher stated, Nothing is more
true as we look at what Christi
anity has meant in the life of
mankind, than that it comes TO
start fires. 1t creates disturbances.

conditions wrong and sinful. In
His realm Jesus was one of the
most disturbing people who ever
visited the earth. How many peo-
pie met Him, listened, and went
away with a fire ablaze in their
hearts, a fire that would not be
quenched till a new life was be-
gun"
The speaker condemned the in
difference and complacency which
mark the life of our day when
people are following the line OF
least resistance and fewest diffl-
cuties. "The nearer our religion
comes to the real mind and mean

it start up fires. For things are

ENDS ATTACKS
ON JURIST FOR
PRESENT SAID
Court Holds Lack Of Per-
sonal Interest Of Petition
ers Voids Plea
WILL REVIEW PLEA
ON NLRB RULING

WASHINGTON, Oct. II. (UP)
The United States supreme court
today dismissed two challenges to
the right Of Associate Justice Hugo
Black to sit on the high bench.
This action was announced "a
the tribunal sat for its first bust
ness session of the year and put
an end for the present to any
court action to bar Black.
Although it is possible that at
some later date a new challenge
might be advanced. The courts
action today appeared to close the
immediate legal phase of the con-
troversy.
Chief Justice Hughes rejected
the motion of Albert Levitt, re-
signed justice department en-
ploye. on the grounds that he had
failed to establish personal in
terest in the case as required by
law. Then, without further ex-
PLANTATION, he also dismissed the
petition by Patrick Kelly, Boston
attorney, on the same grounds.
The supreme court began the
real work of it's new term today
by announcing decision on two ac-
tions designed to Gust its newest
member, Justice Hugh l.. Black,
on technical grounds.
After a week spent in secret
conferences on a docket contain
ing more than 300 cases, the court
was ready to hand down a series
Of orders accepting some and re-
jecting others.
Of the two actions involving
Black, neither mentioned his one
time Ku Klux Khan membership.
There was no precedent for
either of the actions brought
against Black because the consti-
tuition makes no provision for the
supreme court to pass on the qua
LITIGATION Of its members. Some
lawyers had believed both actions
would be rejected without com
ment. Other experts, however,
claimed that the tribunal is clear
" entitled to decide whether con
grcss increased the emolumcntS of
a Justice and therefore may accept
the cases for argument before de-
livering a formal written opinion.
