CHAPTER CONTINUED

"Heretical words! How dare you
speak so? Is it not to the glory of
God that these pagans have been
taught decency, cleanliness? That
they have been taught the word of
God? And that they have learned it
is the lot of man to labor and toll
honestly to produce a living from
the soil in the sweat of their brows?
Can you refute that?"
FACES managed a twisted smile.
Consider the lilies of the
field" he quoted, " they toll not.
Can you refute that?"
81 shall not try to. You but mock
such inspired words"
mo, you will not try to, because
you know you can not. You know
that before these poor savages
came into the Church they were at
least healthy. Look at them now!
Diseased"
"And who is responsible for that?
Can you tell me? Yes, but you will
not. 1t is the soldiers, your SOL
diers, the Kings soldiers! They
have seduced the poor Indian
women. and given them the loath-
some diseases of the Europeans.
They are dying of it, like flies"
"No, that is what you have brought
them!" FACES rejoined
Sierra staggered. Before God,
explain those words! What I have
brought"
Eyes, you. You and your mis-
sionaries with your greed to save
souls for the further glory and pow
er of an already too powerful
church,"
Sierra was struggling for control,
and when he spoke his voice was
thick and trembling.
rash man! Goddess man! won
der heaven does not open and the
fires of holy wrath descend and de-
stroy you'll" He raised his hands
with spread fingers, and advanced
toward the Governor.
"On your head be the blame! We
men of God ask no escort of SOL
diery, it is forced upon us by the
rapaciouS State, eager for domln-
ion, swollen with the spoils of stolen
empires! Leave us alone, you men
of war, the cross must go alone!"
Clutching the crucifix of his ros-
airy he held it before him.
"Alone the cross will conquer! I
ask for no soldiers, 1 ask for priests,
Pedro FACES, men of God, strong in
the strength of righteousness, not
armed with steel! Men bearing the
word of God, with divine love in
their hearts, not the fires of lust that
burn and kill"
He sank to his knees.
Blessed Mother of God, Holy
Ghost Divine, Holy Master Jesus,
here on my knees before you, 1, the
least of thy servants, Junipero Ser
IA, do make a VOW! Send me two
strong brethren and with their help
alone will I raise to thee temple,
the Mission Santa Barbara! Then
will I willingly give up my soul and
without one regret tread the dark
valley of the shadow of DEATH"
The boy Pho slipped fearfully into
the room.
Padre mio," he whispered awe
somely, sit is the hour for vespers.
Shall I ring the bell?"
The father raised his face, stained
with tears, drawn with agony.
He nodded, and the boy departed
silently. For a few moments the
two men regarded each other. Then
the Governor gathered up hat and
riding whip that lay on the table.
Good night" he said abruptly.
MAY your prayers be answered"
The other looked at him implor-
ingly.
'God soften your heart" said he.
AS Pedro FACES and his servant
rode away toward the Preside of
Monterey, they heard the plaintive
notes of the vesper bells through
the Carmel Valley.

Mistress Of Morterey
SYNOPSIS

In Spanish-governed California of 1888 a
conflict between Church and State is repre-
scented by two friendly enemies, frail old
Fray Junipero Sierra. Franciscan mission
airy. and Don Pedro FACES, civil governor.
After telling Sierra he is sending to Mexico
for his wife and son whom he has not seen
for eight years, Don Pedro refuses his aid
toward the founding of the Santa Barbara
mission. Serra's cherished dream, and the
two part in bitterness.

1T would seem to me that any

Marking the first time q high

commented, on the acceptance Of
the medals by Ford and Lindbergh,
IckeS asked the annual Chanukah

How can any American, who
calls himself a Christian or who

warp and wool Of our American
life, accept e decoration ct the

with the same hand, Is robbing

today.
Senator William n. King D.)
Of Utah, and Rush D. Holt Cd
Of West Virginia, were among the
first to reveal they would oppose
Hopkins confirmation. 81
Other Democrats also were said
to be feeling low over the drum.
fire Of reports that Hopkins would
be named to succeed Secretary
Daniel c. Roper when Roper'S
resignation becomes effective this
weekend.
STRATEGISTS ACTIVE
While President Roosevelt has
given no hint as to whether he
will nominate Hopkins, strategy
lines already were being laid IN
the Senate. It was definitely indi.
Gated that the anticipated nomina.
ton would be referred to COM
mittee for q report.
One Republican leader dis.
closed privately he would object
to immediate confirmation Of
Hopkins. This senator declined
to be quoted on the ground he
did not want to anticipate what
the President would do. The
objection Of a single senator
usually results in reference Of o
nomination to committee.
FOE IN SADDLE
Nomination Of Hopkins would
go to the Senate Commerce Com
mittee for investigation and
report. That committee is likely
to be headed by Senator Josiah
Bailey CD of North Carolina,
who on several occasions has
bitterly assailed Hopkins on the
floor of the Senate.
Perhaps the chief argument
made in the opposition camp was
that Hopkins had not been
vigilant enough in preventing
alleged participation in politics by
WPA personnel in the 1886 and
1888 elections.

fate which brought his career
to such an untimely and tragic
end-receive this tribute with
hearts burdened by the sense
of loss of that personal asSocia-

hands the pen became a sword
welded with devastating power"
CUMMINGS IN TRIBUTE
"He came to us in the full
maturity of his extraordinary
intellectual power, and no one
on this bench has ever served
with more, untiring industry or
