elusive but an inclusive program. It
was not designed to limit or narrow life
or to restrict It's field of operation. BY
this Interpretation of its meaning it
meant finer realization OF all that is
best and most appealing-yes, and most
satisfying. 1t has confirmation in
Christ's own words: II am come that
they might have life, and have 1t more
abundantly." In His prayer for His
disciples. He recognized the. large place
that the world must occupy in mans
life: mot out Of the world, but from its
evil keep them"
There is nothing ascetic or unappeal-
ing in this. Christianity is an asset,
not liability. Rightly practiced it gives
meaning and zest and purpose to life
1t Is not a brake but an accelerator.
Rufus Jones, the Quaker, pertinently
says: For most religious guides the
world has been listed among the dubious
liabilities; not among the spiritual as
sets" This is especially true with youth.
Youth conceives of the Christian re-
igion as hindrance, deterrent, that
places limitations upon all normal de-
sires. This certainly is not true to the
pattern Christ gave. Fullness for empti-
ness, satisfaction for soured disillusion-
ment and bitter sappointment-this is
the real design and purpose >of Chris
tan living. The best the world has to
give is ours, not for excessive indulgence,
not for selfish appropriation, but for real
lasting Joy and satisfaction.
What program for life is this word
OF st. Paul: "All things are yours, Of life,
or death, or things present, or things
to come; all are yours" and he holds
that this conception has It's ultimate at
tainment in this that, we are Christ s
and Christ is Gods. Here is progress
sive, comprehensive, logical program for
any man and it is a program or philos-
ophy, or what you will, that spells con-
tentment, fulfillment and attainment.
Satisfaction consists Of something other
than the acquisition Of material things
or the qualification of desire; it is found
in spirit that has realized quiet and
contentment; mind at ease satisfied,
and at peace with God and the world in
which 1t finds itself.

SATISFACTION
BY THE RIGHT REV JAMES FREEMAN D. d, L. D. D. c. L.
BISHOP WASHINGTON

NOW and again we pause In the swift
movement Of life to take fresh reckon
ings and to rechart our course. He
would be careless mariner who failed
now and again to discover to himself his
exact position in the voyage of life.
Dead reckoning may at times be neces-
sary, but 1t is at best an emergency
measure. 1t Is certainly reasonable to
assume that every thinking and reflec-
tive man and woman, as life develops
and natures, works out his or her plan
or philosophy and by 1t comes at length
to shape their course.
A friend wrote me after long absence
IN foreign parts, Some day I'll drift
back and we'll talk over again our phil
osophy, for after all ones life is ones
philosophy" When he did return it was
evident that his varied world experience
had eHected marked changes in his I'M
derstandlng OF the meaning and purpose
OF LIE. He had come to look at life
more seriously. Pre-occupation and in
diligence in pleasure had for long pc
ROD made him unresponsive to life'S
deeper meaning. 1t had also left him
dlsllluSloned and unsatiSf1ed. His much
reading had come at length to pail upon
him. He was looking for something that
would stabilize and give him satisfaction.
When at length we met after long
separation I found I was talking to
man whose experience and extended OBJ
servation had sobered him. II have
found something utterly foreign to my
former reading that has brought me an
understanding Of life, its finer, deeper
meaning, than I have ever known, I
think today my judgment is better and
more consistent than it has ever been"
Among others whom he had read was
st. Paul. We talked at length Of the
Apostles words where he says: "All
things are yours-of life or death, or
things present or things to come; all
are yours"
The broad inclusiveness OF this pas
sage made Us realize the comprehensive
ness Of the Christian faith and its ex-
tended vision and high appraisal of
what the Christian life should really
mean and be. 1t suggested not an ex-

Unwise.

Inc logic OF purges is sound enough.
But the verdict of history is that they
are unwise. President Roosevelt does not
need to be reminded of the fact, i'm
mortal in Patrick Henry's language, that
Tarquip and Caesar had each his
Brutus, Charles the First his Crom-
we'll With all their buster, Mussolini
and Hitler secretly must be ashamed of
the methods by which they have won
and kept their places as dictators. Stain
surely is not proud of the record of
executions for which he has been re-
sponslble. These men-and millions of
their mporaries-cannot be alto
gether unmindful of the law of cause
and effect. Striking down their politi-
cal enemies to preserve their respective
programs of reform, they have raised
up new foes to challenge their purposes
at home and abroad
But it must be conceded that the
President has been sorely tempted. He
has been crossed repeatedly by OPPOSE
ton within his party, and it would be
idle to deny that he has been deeply
annoyed by his experience. If he loses
his temper occasionally, his anger is
natural. In his calmer moments he
probably regrets the passion which
drives him to adventurous extremes of
utterance. Surely, he would be happy
to take back, if he could, that bitter
gibe about "the horse and buggy age"
employed in 1885 to give vent to his
irritation against the Supreme Court.
Similarly, he may have reason soon
or late to wish that he had not assailed
the "knifers' of his half-disclosed plans
for the more abundant life" Long
before he could call the Democratic
party his own, James A. Reed of Mis-
souri, was serving the cause of popular
government with a devotion which gave
him the right to say in 1886: What the
trainers of this Republic knew and what
history teaches is that no man can be
trusted with the power to fasten shackles
upon the liberties of the people The
man guilty of such an act is wholly
unfit to hold Office"
And Mr.. Reed supported his conten-
ton by quoting Mr.. Roosevelt's message
to Congress: They (the people, realize
that in thirty-four months we have
built up new instruments of public
power. In the hands of a peoples
government, this power is wholesome
and proper, but in the hands of political
puppets of an economic autocracy such
power would provide shackles for the
liberties of the people" Presumably,
among the liberties mentioned is the
privilege of exercising the franchise I'M
coerced and uncompelled
A wiser and a more efficient policy
than that to which the President now
has turned was that which he quoted in
his address at Harvard two years
ago. Increase Mather, he declared, had
told the students at Cambridge that
they were pledged to the word of no
particular master and that they should
"above all find a friend in truth"

Dark DAYS.

There may be a few persons who are
satisfied with the world today. Psycholo-
gists agree that certain types of human
beings are incapable of anxiety. But a
majority of people are normally sensi-
tive to danger which threatens the hap
piness, If not the very existence, of the
race It follows that there are many
sufferers in time Of war, revolution,
economic and social dislocation, class
struggle and political strife.
Some, of course, conceal their misery
under pretense of carelessness. 1t Is
their choice to "eat, drink and be merry"
without regard to impending destruction.
They endeavor to persuade themselves

covering persons who now are IS or who
soon are to be.
This country's old people definitely
seem to be sold on the idea that they are
entitled to = pension that will enable
them to live in some degree Of comfort
and security in their declining years. So
deep-seated is this feeling that politi-
clans, whether posing as conservative or
as New Dealers, are overawed. The one
reason why large pensions have not been
voted Is that skillful maneuvering on the
part of administration leaders in Con-
gress has enabled them to dodge this
issue.
This years primary elections suggest
definitely that the day Of q showdown on
pension demands Is approaching. When
it arrives, today's budget may look small,
unless some way is found to divert the
pressure. That diversion may be achieved
by modification of the existing social
security system to permit earlier and
more liberal payments Of old-age an
nuities.

that the individual is powerless to con-
tribute to the salvation Of civilization.
If they are possessed of any faith at all,
1t is in fatalistic notion that humanity
will "muddle through" somehow without
assistance from the average citizen. They
leave the problem to professional mes
siahs ands spend their own energies in
such employment as dancing the Big
Apple while the earth trembles under
their feet.
Still others feverishly engage in re-
formatory enterprises designed, like a
patent medicine, to cure everything
that ails society in a period distin-
guished for troubles not amenable to
correction by even the most ardent wish
full thinking. Whole armies of dreamers
idolize leaders whose principal charac-
teristic is mad self-cultivated egoism
which grows in assurance with each pass
ing hour-Napoleons who gamble with
nations as though men and women were
dolls empty of the power to experience
pain.
But the darkest days are not invari-
ably tragic. Indeed, it often happens
that good arises out Of evil. The Black
Death, for example, brought new vitality
to the Europe it decimated. A plague,
1t seems, can teach the lesson of health:
war may instruct in the value of peace;
rebellion on occasion provides dynamic
OF law. Perhaps the current agony of
millions fosters hope for the return of
sanity, a renaissance of reason in the
world. That must be the aspiration of
philosophic spirit in the circumstances
now prevailing.

' Old.A Pensions
Coming to the Front
By OVEN L. SCOTT.

All OF the country's heaviest political
thinkers are working overtime right now
trying to determine the real meaning of
this years primary elections. Each of
these political experts comes up with a
different answer
To one the outlook Is highly favorable
ito the New Deal Another sees straWs
that point to conservative turn among
the electorate. One more discovers that
Federal Government political machines
now are rivaling In strength State gov
eminent political machines. Still an
other concludes that President Roose-
welt is wrecking his party by an attempt
ed purge" of his opponents, while 9TH
ers are convinced that purge" is all
that can save the President from help
lessness in the next Congress.
Nobody, apparently. catches the one
significant sign that runs consistently
through the balloting in State after
State.
When Senator Claude Pepper won the
senatorial nomination in Florida hands
down, his victory sent anti-New Deal
congressman scurrying for cover. Then
somebody noticed that Senator Pepper,

advocated more liberal pensions for the
aged and carried the Endorsement of the
Townsend organization. Much the same
had been true Of Lister Hill. nominated

thinkers, ODaniel's victory looked like
