Serving by Personal Devotion to
Christ, Mark 14:3-31, for Sunday,
June 5:
After teaching in the temple on
Tuesday of Jesus last week, he re-
tired to Bethany and was enter
tained in the house of Simon the
Leper.
v. 3. "And as he sat at meat.
there came woman having an al
abaster box of ointment of spik-
enard very precious; and she brake
the box and poured it on his head" :"
This woman, we learn from the 9TH
er gospels was Mary, the sister OF
Martha and Lazarus. This anoint-
ing with oil was a material express
sion of devotion and love which if
not expressed will weaken and die.
V. 4. ''And there were some
that had indignation within them
selves, and said. Why was this
waste of the ointment made?' The
cost was a years wages-no small
sum. Too many measure life by the
dollar sign. Listen to the answer
to the common question. How is he
doing?
v. S. 'For it might have been
sold for more than three hundred
pence and have been given to the
poor. And they murmured against
her. To assist the poor is COM
mendable, but there must be bal
anced life making place for Chris
tion sentiment and spiritual devo-
ton which takes time and money.
v. 6. "And Jesus said, Let her
lone. Whu trO,hlo va her? She
hath wrought a good work on me-"
Jesus, understanding her sincere de-
votion, was quick to defend her.
There are very few that deserve
criticism for giving too much to
the Lord or for doing too much for
him.
V. 7. "For We have the poor with
you always, and whensoever ye will
We may do them good; but me We
have not always People who are
always saying what others ought to
do, especially for the poor, are to be
viewed with suspicion, for quite
likely they give little and expect
others to assume the responsibility.
V. s. "She hath done what she
could; she is come aforehand to
anoint my body to the burying."
Jesus requires of us only what we
are able to do but he expects us to
do all we can for him and his
kingdom. In this instance, Jesus
was sustained in his coming death
by such devotion.
v. 9. "Verily 1 say unto you.
Wheresoever this gospel shall be
preached throughout the whole
world, this also that she hath done
shall be spoken of her for me-
mortal" The influence and memory
of loving deeds sincerely rendered,
will never die. Christ's death in
making atonement for the sins of
the world is beautifully commemor-
ated by the holy communion.
VS.. 10, IL. "And Judas Iscariot,
one of the twelve, went unto the
chief priests, to betray him unto
them. And when they heard it,
they were glad, and promised to
give him money. And he sought
how he might conveniently betray

Proud of their city's improved

privately financed organization and

other cities, and some states. Such
action is imperative, they insist,

ATTEMPT TO SMEAR
JUSTICE BLACK

The latest attempt to smear Su-
preme Court Justice Hugo L. Black
(the former senator from Alabama,
who was the spearhead of the New
Deals drive against the Tories of
yesteryear) takes the form of an
article in Harper's Magazine, by
Marquis w. Childs, Of the st. Louis
Post-Dispatch. Mr. Childs, a spe-
cialist on Swedish cooperatives and
a writer of lively fiction, contends
that Hugo Black has caused his fell
low justices "acute discomfort and
embarrassment" because of his
''lack of legal knowledge and exper-
ience"
1t is obviously an honest article,
written in good faith, though with
out authority by one who believes
that highly specialized legal
craftsmanship is identical with JUS
tice. This is, of course, religious
rather than an intellectual attitude,
and there is no use arguing with
Mr.. Childs because he believes in
hair-spiltting mumbo~j jumbo on the
bench

there is something mysterious and
supernaturally complex about the
Federal Constitution, and that no
mere mortal can hope to deal justly
with the mighty issues it embalms.
Why The Animosity?
There is some wonder in Wash.
ington as to why Mr. Childs' dis
covery should be headlined at this
time. I have before me a file Of
nine cases in which the "embarrass-
ing" Alabaman wrote the majority
opinions for the Supreme Court. I
have also a file of his rather re-
markable dissenting opinions, and l
think that the animus against his
''lack of legal knowledge and ex-
perience" arises from his clear in
tention to continue on the bench
the same drive against corporate
control of the United States, which
was the handspring of his previous
political career.
Not only do his dissents carry
the New Deal war deep into enemy
territory on number of important
issues, notably the Indianapolis
Waterworks case, but in his dissent

Serving by Personal Devotion to
Christ, Mark 14:3-31, for Sunday,
June 5:
Why did Jesus so highly COM
mend the woman's act in this les
son?
How account for Judas failure to
be a true disciple?
How far ought one to spend
money for sentiment sake?
What is the best way to handle
poverty and charity?
What lesson should we learn
from the sequel of verses 80 and
81?
Glorious says: Sentiment has it's
place in the development of the
soul, in the enrichment of society;
it rests the mind and heart and
body: it breaks the monotony OF
care that wears out life; it fur
nishes nourishment to Christian de-
cisions and makes possible a life
filled with joy.
Lesson prayer: "Help us to be
watchful and expressive in matters
that have to do with our devotion
to our Lord. We would learn the
joy of salvation in the continual
presence of our Lord"

WPA workers and which will be eX-

This WPA project will give work
and wages to the unemployed in.
stead of the dole and will enable
120 more worthy, selected scholars
who could not otherwise afford it to
attend Ohio State. If sufficient
funds were available, university Of
ficials would like to have WPA
workers build floors all around the
stadium and thus convert the en-
tire underside into dormitories for
meritorious students of limited
means. The space would accommo-
date 2400 students. The southwest
tower and two sections have already
been equipped with four floors and
are being used for dormitories.
When WPA workers have finished
the additional section, the club will
hold 400 students.
The students do their own house
cleaning, dish washing, etc., and
get their board and lodging for
$125 per year They pay for their
own food, electricity and gas. The
Tower club was established in 1888
because so many brilliant students
were dropping out of school for lack
of funds.
BY utilizing the underside of the
stadium instead of building new
dormitories, the university saves

In the cathedral City of Upsala,

keep two churches and the cathed-

that part Of the world, asking that
churches be open seven days in the

The Society of the Goddess in
Russia is seeking to have the fol-
lowing measures adopted: The in

listers are enemies of communism, -
is to appear on blouses, drinking
cups, pocket-books and cigars; and
the declaration, "You must become
free thinker" must be printed on
all chocolate and bon-bon wrappers.
