the alleged inadequacy and am
biguity Of the law itself and Of its
administration by the board. These
complaints will be given the most
careful scrutiny by the committee.
Cooperation Invited.
We invite the cooperation and
assistance of all interested organ
izations and persons. It Is our
earnest desire to have the benefit
of all conflicting views on the sub
ject to the end that the committee,
having a cross section of all the
angles Of the problem, may be able
to submit to the Congress a fair, a
just and an impartial recommends
ton that, in the last analysis, will
point the way to a solution that
will be in the best interests of labor,
industry and the public at large.
In conclusion, let me state that
this committee, while inviting the
assistance and suggestions of all in
terested parties, will deal primarily
in facts and not in mere criticisms
of individuals or organizations. We
are earnestly striving to perform,
without fear or favor, a public serv-
ice. The extent to which we sue
coed will depend upon the extent to
which public opinion and co-opera-
ton support our efforts.
In these remarks I have made no
statement of fact and related no in
cident that has not been carefully
checked for accuracy and supported
by documentary proof. I have point
ed out certain features of the law
and its administration which have
aroused public animosity and criti-
cism both Of the law and its admin
istration. Upon the conclusion Of
our investigation we will report
whether those charges are justified
or whether they are without merit
The answer will then rest with
public opinion and with the Con-
gress as to whether it will demand
and require the correction of any
defects that may be found in the
law and its administration, or
whether the situation will be per-
mitted to complacently drift while
both industry and labor suffer from
= paralysis that needs only fair and
courageous treatment to effect a
cure.

word "agape," which means love in
its loftiest expression. Thus, the |
New Testament says, God is agape";;
and God so agaped the world"
This Is the greatest word in the
language, for it is the best synonym
of God.
On Two Levels.
We all know what it is to speak
on one plane and to be understood
only on another and lower. So when
Jesus asked Peter, "Agapest thou
me?" the disciple answered, "Yea,
Lord, Thou knowest that I phileo
.Thee'-using the lesser word for
love which represents one mans
kindly sentiments toward another,
a mere human love.
Searching out the depths of Peter,
Jesus repeated His question, again
using the high and holy word,
agape. And again Peter answered
with phileo; in effect, II love you as
one man loves another" Still he
did not understand.
Then, with characteristic conde-
scension, Jesus came down to Peters
level, and used his word, phileo-as
If to say, DO you even love me as
one man loves another?"
That cut Peter to the heart
"Peter was grieved," the record
runs; and with deepest humility he
replied, Lord, Thou knoWest all
things; Thou knowest that I phileo
Thee" Perhaps, in his new-found
humility, Peter was not willing to
claim the higher form of love for
himself. Certainly he later displayed
it. At least he had thrice affirmed
a love for the Lord whom he had
thrice denied.
Those Hungry Sheep.
With keenest interest the other
six disciples had listened to this
dialogue. They did not miss the
meaning of it all, which is that love
is proved by service. Most men
probably do not often reassure their
wives and children of their love for
them; but they prove it by provid-
ing them with the best possible
livelihood. Words of love are a
mockery unless supported by deeds
of devotion.
To Peters first response Jesus
replied, Feed my lambs" Children
first; the greatest Friend of child
hood had ever uppermost in His
heart the needs of the little ones.
And we are most like Christ when
we are serving the interests of chill
dren. His second response was,
Tend my sheep" and His third,
like unto it, Feed my sheep"
That is the call of Christ which
comes ringing down the ages to all
of His disciples: Feed My lambs;
tend My sheep; feed My sheep
the hungry human hearts that so
piteously need sustenance, especially
in these days. 1t was not any high
counsel concerning His church that
the departing Lord gave to the men
whom He entrusted with the task of
carrying ON His work, but a simple,
repeated injunction to care for the
welfare of the people.
The Sunday school lesson for
January 20 is "Peter Declares His
Love. John ii11-19.
