the door wide.
She was lying on the bed-her flaxen

Clarissa caught her breath and said:

Arthur's hand.
Arthur said huskily, That same

Clarissa moved closer to the bed

MINISTER ASSAILS
 FATHER COUCHLIN
Charges Radio Priests With Carrying on Canl-
 paign of Hate

In the opinion of Rev. Alison J. Smith, pastor of the Grace Meth odist church, Rev. Charles E. Coughlin, Catholic radio priest is a menace to national good will and tolerance. Speaking before the of- ficers of the State Federation of Mems Bible classes at a meeting in his church last night, MT. Smith characterized Father Coughlin in category with Huey Long, Rev. Gerald Winrod of Kan Sas. Townsend and others who are peddling crackpot panaceas for every social and economic ailment in American life"
 The preacher called Father Coughlin the outstanding member of the nations group of demagogues.
 Father Coughlin's recent cam- paigns were termed by MT. Smith as campaigns of hate" The preacher denounced as falsehoods Father Coughlin's claims that the Jews financed the Russian revolu- tion and that the majority of Rus sian leaders are Jews.
 And the saddest thing about Fr. Coughlin's campaigns of hate" MT. Smith declared, "is that he is a priest of the Christian religion, the religion that is based on a philoso. phy of love, not of hate, which breaches brotherhood and tolerance.
