ing due respect to the law of Moses
V. 13 "And he went forth again
by the seaside; and. all the multi
tude resorted to him and he taught
them" Teaching was Christ's prin-
cipal method of reaching the minds
and hearts of the people. He did
not only use synagogue privileges,
but he did much of his teaching out
of doors. There is nothing that
draws the crowd like the preaching
of Jesus.
v. a. 'And as he passed by, he
saw Levi, the son of Apheus, sitting
at the receipt of custom, and said
unto him, Follow me; and he arose
and followed him. Matthew was
employed to gather taxes, despis

much of Jesus and his gospel and
was yielding to Christ so that Je

". Is. "And it came to pass,
that, as Jesus sat at meat in his
house, many publicans and sinners
sat also together with Jesus and
his disciples; for there were many,
and they followed him. Matthew
wanted his friends to meet Jesus
and social gathering with eats
proved a good means. Jesus is not
averse to this method; points Of
contact with sinners must be made
but never to be brought down to a
lower level, but to lift them to a
higher level. In Jesus there is lift

v. 16. "And when the scribes
and Pharisees saw him eat with
publicans and sinners, they said un-
to his disciples, How is it that he

publicans and sinners" Jesus was
violating the man. made religious
traditions, and his critics were
quick to try to make case against
him. Criticism is valueless when
it disregards moral and religious
principles, and criticism ought to be
made to the one criticised and not
to others, and of course, in Chris.

Not since 1927, when the annual dog
auction was revived for the first time
since the Revolutionary War, has the
show drawn so many entrants and
spectators from the entire State and
all along the Eastern seaboard.
The dog mart originated in 1893 to
allow the Warring Indians and white
settlers to gather amicably, minus guns
and bows and arrows, and buy, sell
and trade dogs. The practice con-
tinued annually until the Revolution
took up too much time even of dog
lovers to permit the annual bartering.

Seven or Eight Arrested at

Patrol Swift Firm.
BY ;he Associated Press,

SIOUX CITY, Iowa, Oct. 2O.-Of-
ficers broke the line of union picketers
in front Of the strike bound Swift
g. Co. packing plant here today.
Police Capt. Carl E. Wood said
"seven or eight" men were taken from
the picket lines to Jail. The names
OF the men were not revealed, but
Capt. Wood said police arrested those
believed to have had a part in the
violence which brought National
Guard troops here yesterday.
Adjt. Gen. Charles H. Grahl con-
ferred with his staff and local au-
thorities, meanwhile. in lengthy
closed meeting Aides said the off,
GERS apparently were mapping course
for the Guardsmen.
A total of 155 Guardsmen were sta
toned in and around the Swift plant
today. Half Of them were on duty
constantly, squads manning three ma
chine guns and tear gas squad held
the roof.
The street in front of the plant was
almost bare of strikers or sympathizers
by noon. but streams of curious drove
by unmolested.
Besides the troops at the plant,
about $50 Guardsmen were at the
armory and on call in town. Col.
Gordon c. Hollar said a total Of 600
were modified.
Meanwhile, principals in the strike
and troop movement were marking
time to see what develops.
Gov. Nelson G. Kraschel, in order
ing out the troops after the out
break, said he was sending the
Guardsmen to assist local officers in
order.
No public announcement has been
made concerning possible conferences
or steps toward settlement Of the con-
troversy, which began September 20,
at the direction of c. I. o. leaders,
who claimed the company failed to
meet with a Grievance Committee.
Gov. Kraschel conferred last night
with city officials and union leaders at
Atlantic, Iowa.
The Governor, who called out troops
July 10, in connection with the May
tag washing machine strike at Newton,
said the move was in response to a
request from civil authorities.
Union workers halted operations at
Cudahy and Armour pack
ing plants yesterday following a tur-
bulent night in which police fired tear
gas bombs in an effort to disperse a
crowd Of men and women around the
Swift plant. The Cudahy and Armour
workers declared the day a holiday"
and prevented workers from entering
those plants.
Gov. Kraschel said his order docs
not definitely establish our policy re-
garding the extent of the military's
authority in Sioux City"
For the present, however, he added,
the Guard will assist the civil authori-
ties rather than replace them. This
arrangement might be changed to
martial law later, he said, in which
case the Guard would take complete
charge Of the strike-bound area.
