ronized by men and women from
those organizations.
There is something particularly
attractive, coy and comforting il
a group lunching together and es
pecially where the food is as vel
prepared as was this dinner servel
with an accompanying goodwill
comradeship and the presence Of
many who could enjoy each others
society.
/ But there is ever fly in the
ointment of these church affairs, be
they dinners, concerts or other
forms of amusement. We seem
never to realize that the cultivation
of good fellowship and an evening
of fine entertainment is all that
should be asked from such coming
together. Instead we expect to
make it an opportunity to raise
funds to help carry the church
overhead. And, of course, it is a
too dear financing for no church
ever has nor will it ever receive
money enough from such entertain
ments to make it substitute for
the regular contributions of all its
membership.
Granted that church must have
money to carry on. / have little
patience with those who believe
otherwise. But most certainly the
way to get it is not through the
dinner or other entertainment no
matter how frequently attempted.
There are, of course, times when
rally, a dinner or other methods
may raise money for a special OBJ
jectiYe. To meet the pastors sal
airy, and the fixed charges of the
church overhead requires a treas
ury to which all its members con-
tribute regularly as the Lord has
prOspered them.
Its most vicious effect lies in the
color it gives the church program.
A dozen or so auxiliaries in each
organization from whom the only
question ever asked is how much
money can you raise lowers the
interest in and lessons the value Of
the church's work. While visits to
the sick, cooperation in worthwhile
civic activities, help for the needy
and personal work for the unsaved
are forgotten in the scramble to
raise money.
The reason is not far to seek.
Many persons besides myself have
sensed it and many have spoken to
me about it.
There are too many churches.
please notice / do not say too
much church work.) Too many
churches calling on too few people
to keep them going.
In these cities we could get along
with just one church of each de-
nomination. We won't, of course, as
long as we each want a church in
our own neighborhood. 1t should be
considered that the car token that
carries US to the church of our
choice would equally serve to get
us to the one church of our denom-
ination wherever it might be To-
Gated. And how we could prosper
and how we could save and how
the real work of the church would
spread and grow.
Visualize the kind of church
buildings we could build and main
tain with ease if ever we decide to
do this most logical thing. Realize
what could be done for our young
people with such fully equipped
edifices. With a forward looking,

Recently an act of providence
wiped out one of our churches.
Immediately there is a call upon
the impoverished membership of
this and fellow churchmen and Of
the churchmen of other groups to
replace it. It wasn't able to carry

told Hobart.
The car was an expensive black
marble vault on wheels. The young
sters sat in the front seat; the oldsters
sat in back. They went to the Cedar
Memorial Cemetery. They visited the
mausoleum at Penrod. At Gilpin's
Corners they paid their respects to the
shaft erected for the Danes of the
Eighteenth Century. Moments like
this, whispered Hobart, were little
jewels set in necklace of golden
hours. And he hadn't known until this
morning just how many of those gold
en- hours he had lost.

out confusion what she most wanted, and her energies went wholly and solely into the acquir- Ing of it.
 T feel good" she told Joe spon- taneously in the midst of the con- fusion that was their home. She smiled. 50 good! Feel it? In here where my heart is? Do you feel the same thing I do?"
 He felt the sturdy, steady beat ing Of her heart, and he smiled He cooked at her a long moment while sober thought played in the purlls of his brown eyes, and then he said with shade of huskiness in the tone, touch of difficulty "Baby I guess do love you, baby"
 It was the first time.
 She made a quick sound with out words, saying something in- expressible. That was all had been lacking, the last thing needed and life was in fullest flower.
 It lowered for Terry. But for Joe there had once before been tine like that, and then there was a blight, and no second blooming came. There was sur yival and continuity, similar to that of the arid uprooted tumble weed drifting on it's vague and lnscrutable journey before the winds that prevail, but there was no flower, no color, no perfume of life.
 He had committed his love to this small one whom it made so happy. He lied, knowing so. He accepted this, deliberately. Last night late, after he had gone home and to bed, there was a long hour when sleep would not come, but instead relentless parade Of rhantoms out of the past. Even then, on such a night. Against his will and despite his will, he had kept a bleak rendezvous with a figure poignant and accusing and mute, come in final farewell.

WHEN America was young the " falconoid bald eagle reigned as a monarchial bird, ruling the feathered tribes from Canada to Mexico. Even centuries before the first white man came, the h. dians held the eagle in reverence and credited it with divine pow CTS.
 So by the time that America had come of age in l776 and cast about for a symbol of it's new found power. it's soaring freedom, the founding fathers chose the American eagle. The first draft of a coat of arms was made just after the signing of the Declara- toin of Independence. Not until l782, however, was a design finally chosen, one worked out jointly by William Barton of Philadelphia, and Charles Thomp- son, secretary of the Continental Congress. It bore the American bald eagle.
 From the seal the eagle passed to American coins in l795. Ii appeared on prepaid stamp of the 1851 U. s. series and is shown here on the l0-cent value of the series of 1869, orange color. The eagle rests on shield.

and they entered the front room stee itllily. They listened, and there was no sound; Joe breeding, Terry inscrutably. Terry lighted the lamp, and then she extinguished the lamp. They sat together in the stiffness, listening. Terry put out a hand in the darkness. And then abruptly, brutally and darkly and hun crily, they turned to one another al-a swept into each others arms. Joe was drunk with sensation and Terry with ecstacy, and they list.ned no longer, for there was roaring as of mighty and om- nific surf on an endless ocean, and it drowned out all the world
 They were married in the chapel of the municipal building downtown by the city clerk at 10 o'clock in the morning.
 Now do not think for minute that disposes of Terry and Joe and my story about love. Mar riage is an incident in life, and life goes on. It goes weaving and winding, deviouSly hiding and wantonly Haunting its always in- scrutable purpose, undauted even by death. Terrible and beautiful. iC goes, spiting all plans and pro- visions, constant to one thing only: the certainty of change. The very magnificance of life is its completely sublime diSdain.
 There was something wanton and disdainful about this mar riage of Joe and Terry. No in evitability was in it at all, but much chance and fortuity. Pre- carious indeed is any marriage, but here was a marriage with no forLordained compulsion about it, with no fond benediction of families and friends, with nothing, practical ly, but that small and intense per- sistence of Terry Mallow. And she was young, knowing neither life nor the world sufficiently, where Joe knew both all too well.
 It was marriage sustained only by that small and intense persist ence, and by 1t to stand or fall.
 They told no one about their in- tentions when they met early and went downtown together. They got busy immediately afterward and selected a small fiat, a four-room box flat three stories up on a side street in their own neighborhood. Joe drew his money from the bank and let Terry select bed, a table, utensils, furnishings. They bought with frugal care, having none too much money for their wholesale needs, and they bought right in the neighborhood, so that the thinges might be delivered and in- stalled that very day. Long past any proper meal time Terry pre- pared their first meal together that night in their own home.
 Terry went about all that day in a kind of calm, bated entrance ment, full of wonder and joy and yet unquestioningly sure of her self. She had no experience to guide her, and was at no time daunteo by the demands of the day. IL was as if she selected, ordered, instructed things and people out of unwavering instinct Terry possessed a rare directness of mind; she knew always with

TWO ARE INDICTED
OVER PASSPORTS
Named in Investigation Into
the R0binS0n-RubenS
Mystery Papers.
BY the Associated Press


NEW YORK. April 5.-The Federal
grand jury investigating the Robinson
Rubens passport mystery for the past
three months yesterday indicted two
men for aiding in the procurement of
six apparently unrelated fraudulent
passports in the last three years.
The men indicted are Aaron Sharfin
swart. moustached, Russian-born ex-
clerk in the Egyptian consulate here,
and Osslp CARRIER. photographer
arrested a week ago on a passport
fraud conspiracy charge.
Said to Have Taken Pictures.
CARRIER reputedly took the passport
pictures of Mr. and Mrs Adolph
Arnold Rubens. who disappeared in
Moscow last December while travelling
with passports obtained here fraud
ulently in the name OF Mr.. and Mrs.
Donald L. Robinson"
The two indictments against Sharfin
and CARRIER set forth that the fake
passports were obtained under aliases.
The grand jury also returned a
sealed indictment of undisclosed
nature.
Investigation of the Robinson"
passport led first to the office of
County Clerk Albert Marinelli. where
it was issued. Marinelli resigned las.
fall after District Attorney Thomas
Dewey in his election campaign ac-
cused him of associating with GRIM
inalS.
"Fixers" Uncovered.
Thence the evidence led to a chain
OF unidentified ''fixers" in the issuance
of fraudulent passports. Marinelli,
CARRIER and Sharfn were questioned
at length and Sharfin was admon-
lshed by a Federal judge twice last
week for refusal to answer questions
put by the grand jury.
The Rubens disappeared soon after
their arrival in Russia last December.
A few weeks later Mrs. Rubens was
found to be Soviet government pris-
oner on suspicion of spying and was
interviewed to no avail by an American
envoy. She told him she did not know
why her husband had brought her to
Russia or used fraudulent passport.
