orous characters, but they did little to
make worship re-creative and appealing,
especially to youth. We do not suggest
that environing conditions determine
necessarily the quality of worship; we do
maintain that they are consistent aids
and that they are consistent aids and
that they do much to give impulse and
fervor to the religious instinct.
1t has been said with reason that there
Is drama in the Gospel narrative. Ger
tainly the whole ministry of Jesus was
dramatic and His use of parallels or
stories to give point and power to His
teaching. suggests both color and charm
as well as appeal in His conception of the
place of religion and its expression in
life. We live six days in world of color
and intense action; it is hardly consist
ent to make our day of corporate worship
one that Is colorless, gray and unappeal-

designed to be kind of self imposed

mate, real and personal. To worship in
the beauty of holiness is an experience as
Emerson says by which high tides are
caused in the human spirit" These re-
curing high tides lift the spirit in man
to new levels of vision and power
To experience reality in worship" is to
find beauty and appeal in it and to gain
deep satisfaction from it. Naturalness,
too uncommon in our devotional habit
Is indispensable to true and satisfying
worship. To invest the commonplace
things OF life with the beauty of holiness
means to make the world in which we
live, however rich or poor it's environing
circumstances, world in which we find
ourselves in harmony with Gods pur-
pose and see in our own lives the out
working OF His divine planning. "Wor-

Where Purge Came From.

With the supreme New Deal purge
just over the morrow, in good neighbor
Maryland, 1t may be as appropriate a
time as any to remove Nation wide
misapprehension as to the source of the
idiom added to American political Ian
guage by President Roosevelt's attempt
to extirpate from the Democratic Party
recalcitrant members Of Congress who
do not measure up to his standard of
liberalism.
AS purge" hitherto has been applied,
it was supposed to derive its significance
from the strong-arm methods introduced
by Mussolini, Stain and Hitler for sup
preston of dissenters and detractors. It
seems, however, that purge" the Amer
icanism coined to explain what happens
to onon-conformists in the relationships. is
the word our own Anglo-Saxon forebears
had for such procedure no fewer than
three hundred years ago. The term dates
back, to be precise, to the year 1649, and
to an event In the Cromwellian Revolu-
ton, which was destined to be far more
closely connected with the foundations
OF our own country than any Continental
European event was.
In 1648 the Parliamentary troops occu-
pied London and King Charles I was
placed under restraint. The House Of
Commons was the only authority which
could act, and its membership included
many avcwed royalists or royalist sympa-
thizers. Hence the dominant faction,
representing the will of the country as
against the pretensions of the Crown,
decided to take steps to insure harmoni-
GUS action. On December Col. Thomas
Pride was ordered to place his regiment
in front of the House. He himself took
post at the door, with list of the
Objectionable members in his hand. One
by one, about hundred members were
forcibly excluded. This proceeding,
which came to be known as "Prides
Purge" having been completed, the
Rump or sitting part of the Parliament,
laid charges against Charles for treason;
adopted resolution asserting its sole
right to govern the kingdom, without
concurrence Of the Crown or the Lords;
and appointed trial court. BY sentence
OF this court Charles was put to death
on the scaffold in Whitehall on January
30, 1649.

Criminal Drivers.

Robert F. Billow of Akron was a safety
campaign demonstrator. Riding along
Road IS in Indiana, he was killed In q
collision caused by hit-and-run driver
who himself escaped injury. The acci-
dent illustrates a condition whose impli-
cations cannot be exaggerated.
1t is matter of common observation
that thousands Of motorists are careful
in their use of the highways. Likewise,
1t is plain that there are at least a few
who simply are speed crazy This minor
ity is to blame for large percentage of
all crashes. Laws designed to protect
the general public are deliberately
ignored by both men and women whose
social conscience Is undeveloped. In
effect, they are anarchists If they are
called criminals, the fault is their own.
But designations are not important
The problem is one for which co-opera =
ton with the traffic police is indicated.
Let every pedestrian and every cautious
driver make it duty to report the
license numbers of speeders. A recent
experiment in Washington suggests the
corrective effect Of such policy. Stand
ing on the curb of an arterial thorough
fare, a reporter pretended to jot down
the numbers of cars carelessly operated.
Drivers, seeing his interest in their
machines, slowed down as they passed
him. They could not be sure that he
would not turn them in,' and they had
sense enough to decline to take chance.
Mr.. Billow gave his life for safer
motor travel His contemporaries ought
to be willing to carry on his campaign.

Novel Campaign Trick.

An Associated Press dispatch from
Seattle tells Of unique method of polit-
ical canvassing that may have a great
future. Carl Broome, while campaigning
for the Democratic nomination for State
Senator, is also a restaurant owner. He
is automatically on the spot for paying
wages to workers, thereby becoming an
economic royalist and fair game for the
unthinking. Besides this, taking care of
his business requires too much of his
time to permit freedom for hustling for
votes.
Whatever other qualifications for
public ONCE he may possess, it must be
admitted that his scheme for solving his
campaign problem shows both enterprise
and ingenuity. He built griddle with
brand on it, and now his customers,
as they stow away their hot cakes,
observe this legend: Carl Broome for
Senator"
The psychology seems perfect. 1t is
difficult to partake of mans salt and
not be with him. If the chef is on to his
job, the hungry diner becomes mellowed
and receptive to suggestions, political or
otherwise, SO that the step from customer
to constituent is short one. The con-
sumer is also bound to ponder and in
wardly digest this highly palatable cam
paign literature, which does not knock
the opposition and depends on food
value, not feud value. Furthermore, If
a candidate happens to win by this
method, there is no chance of the Shep-
pard Campaign Expenditures Committee
disqualifying him. When they ask the
question, How much did you spend for
campaign literature?" the winner can
reply: Nothing at all: I have a better
trick than that I sell mine!" Then.
although they realize that he did put
some dough into his campaign, there
is nothing they can do about 1t.

Inadequate Reply.

The marked unwillingness of Harry
Hopkins to admit that there has been any
improper political activity on the part Of
his w. P. A. subordinates is further en-
phasized by his wholly inadequate answe
to evidence gathered by the Senate Cam
paign Expenditures Committee that
pressure was put on relief workers in
Kentucky to vote for Senator Barkley.
The committee secured an affidavit
from w. P. A. official in Kentucky
that a systematic survey had been made
In two counties to ascertain whether the
w. P. A. clients were Republicans or
Democrats. After getting that informa-
ton, the w. P. A. foremen were in
structed to give their opinion whether
the individual workers were favorable to
Senator Barkley.
Mr.. Hopkins dismisses that complaint
with the explanation that one of the
candidates, presumably Senator Barkley,
had made the startling charge that
preponderant number of Republicans in
Kentucky were being certified for w. p.
A. relief, and that needy Democrats were
being Disseminated against Conse-
quently, Mr.. Hopkins said, the political
color of the relief workers was ascer-
tanned to satisfy the mind of the candi-
date. and for no other purpose.
Mr.. Hopkins ignored the rather signifi-
cant fact that the foremen were required
to state whether they believed the w.
P. A. workers were favorable to Senator
Barkley, and in view of that omission
1t is safe to say that Mr.. Hopkins
explanation will satisfy no one but
himself.
That becomes all the more true when
1t is remembered that the committee also
secured evidence that workers believed to
be unfavorable to Senator Barkley were
dismissed, and that others were given

Broader Security.

A revision of the Social Security Act
which will broaden considerably the
scope of the old-age pension system
appears likely at the next session of
Congress as result of studies now being
made by the Social Security Board and
the advisory council which was set up at
the request Of the Senate Finance
Committee.
The council, with the assistance of the
board, already has done great deal of
work in preparation for specific recon-
mendations for changes in the law. It
has rejected proposals for reduction
in the pay roll levies, the tax which will
be stepped up to two per cent the first Of
next year and to three per cent in 1910.
It also has made progress in the matter
of setting up a system for including
domestic workers, farm hands, self
employed persons, maritime workers,
bank clerks and the employees Of charit-
able organizations. Recommendations
for the earlier payment of benefits and
for larger pensions than previously pro-
vided in the earlier years of the program
also are to be expected.
In view Of the many suggestions and
demands which have been made in
reference TO revision of the act, it is
gratifying to know that a definite plan
and recommendations are In he rnado
on the basis of careful investigation by
council representing fair cross section
Of the affected public. The advisory
council is composed Of ok representatives

Barkley campaign buttons to wear, but
that Mr.. Hopkins offered no explanation
of either circumstance.
The committee, Of course, has no power
to take punitive action against any OF
the w. p A. officials involved in the
charges. But unless Mr.. Hopkins more
effectively refutes the evidence against
his organization, he will find 1t difficult
In the future to convince the pubic by
blanket denials that the w. P. A. is
guiltless of any political activity.

The FavOrite Word.
OF printed characters which show
Great thoughts or fancies fine,
There's none more powerful, we kno,
Than one straight slender line.
1t stands for wisdom more profound
Than lore Of years gone by.
Convincing both by sight and sound,
That simple letter 81"
1t has strangely varied note;
Sometimes 'tis harsh and strong;
And sometimes it will lightly float
Like sweet hattering song.
It's cadences we ne'er forget
When they have once been heard,
That marvel of the alphabet,
The brief and beauteous word.

Treasury books for subsidies in one form

sidles is higher and almost any demand

gress. outright price fixing is in sight.

The unemployed fortunate enough to
get places on w. P. A. already have OBJ
tanned for themselves an income higher
than the average of those families in
the bottom third of the population. An
average w. P. A. yearly income is about
$3.50. The average income of the lower
third OF the population is $471.
Above all else, the New Deal has served
to make the low-income groups OF the
Nation conscious of the fact that their
lot Is In sharp contrast with that OF the
few families at the top of the economic
scale. President Roosevelt by his present
strategy shows that he intends to con-
tinue to drive home that point
Up to date, the result of the Presidents
emphasis has been to generate powerful
demand for subsidies that still are being
paid for with borrowed money. When
subsidies are threatened, either because
OF some now unexpected turn of senti-
ment in Congress or by threat to the
Nations credit, then the real political
strength of the low-income groups will be
expected to make itself felt.

groups. If President Roosevelt succeeds
