College Aid Reports

Fifteen young men and young
women from Morgan county are re-
ceiving NYA student aid In four
Ohio colleges and universities, 1t
was reported today by s. Burns
Weston.
They are enabled to continue
their college educations by doing
part time work on National Youth
Administration projects. The coll
leges select the students to be aided,
on the basis of need, and plan and
supervise their work. NYA supplies
the funds for the youth wages.
The colleges in which Morgan
county youth are receiving NYA as
sistance, and the number being aid
ed, follows: Cincinnati College of
Pharmacy, two; Marietta college,
one; Ohio State University, three;
and Ohio University, nine.
The student aid program is for
needy in-school youth between the
ages of 16 and 25, and includes s.
5S7 in 67 Ohio colleges and univer-
587, as we'll as 13,160 youth in L.
139 high schools in every county in
the state.
NYA's work projects program for
needy, unemployed, out-of-school
youth between the ages of IS and
25 employs more than 5000 ON
work projects throughout the state.
In Morgan county there are los
youth working on clerical, library
and construction projects; 70 OF
these youth are employed on the
project for the construction of the
five acre athletic field for the Malta
McConnelsville school district.

the Indianapolis meeting was, by
request, given by the writer and
others of the eighteen who were at

ashamed of any of their preachers

word of other able men in that
group The division came gradually
and by individual congregations
separating. 1t is likely that restora-
tion of unity to whatever extent it
may be possible in these days when
some men know almost no bounds
of liberty Cor license?) in religious
matters will come about gradually
and in local assemblies getting to-
gether, for there is no general to-
ganization in either group that can
act for others-the government be-
ing theoretically congregational
though some one, not entirely with
out evidence, said it had come to be
government by religious papers and
very likely it is too true that whom
a religious journal brands as un-
sound will henceforth be ''unsound"
to many who read that particular
paper. The unity topic Cor, in some
cases "uniOn' idea) has a great
hold on the modern religious world
and considerable headway has been
made-as in the United Church of
Canada, and the recent amalgama
tion of Methodist bodies. All who
have enough of the spirit of Christ
to rise above a partisan level should
be pleased at every Scriptural step
toward that oneness for which the
Man of Galilee prayed.-Don Carlos

Paul Pleads His Own Case, Acts
21:40-22:4; 24-14-16; 26:19-23,
for Sunday, June A:
Paul reported his third mission
ary journey with collection for the
home church at Jerusalem, when en-
emies stirred up opposition to the
point of determining murder. Paul
was his own defense with unassail-
able argument, with good report
and with a good life.
v. 40. "And when he had given
him license, Paul stood on the
stairs, and beckoned with his hand
to the people, And when there was a
great silence, he spake unto them in
the Hebrew tongue" The arresting
officer who saved Paul from vio-
lence, gave him permission to speak.
Paul was no coward. He was ready
to fight with words spoken in their
own language which had a quieting
effect.
v. 1. "Men, brethren and faith
ers, hear We my defense which l
now make unto you Paul might
have called them by other names
which would have enraged them
more By the terms used he show
ed himself Christian.
v. 3. II am verify a man which
am a Jew, born in Tarsus, city in
Cilicia, yet brought up in this city
at the feet of Gamaliel, and taught
according to the perfect manner of
the law of the fathers, and was zeal
GUS toward God, as we all are this
day" Paul showed that he was a
man of prestige, well-born, we'll
educated, with a good record as a
Hebrew teacher. More than all this
he had a record of having great
religious leader and being allied
ground has much to do with ones
self defense in the cause Of right
eousness.
" 4. "And I prosecuted this
way unto the death and delivering
into prisons both men and women"
The term "Way" was used for
those later called Christians. He
meets his prosecutors with his past
experience now akin to theirs, only
his excelled theirs. II he had stop
ped with these words, all might
have been we'll, but Paul had had a
new experience which he is getting
ready to deliver.
". IA. "But this I confess unto
thee, that after the way which they
call heresy, so worship I the God OF
my fathers, believing all things
which are written in the law and in
the prophets This, a later speech,
portrays Paul as Christian and
yet loyal to the teachings of the
Scriptures of that day. He had
what those opposing him had and
more-he had faith in God plus
faith in Jesus Christ.
". Is. "And have hope toward
God, which they themselves also al
low, that there shall be resurrec-
tion of the dead, both of the just
and the unjust" Paul found
grounds for the doctrine of the
resurrection in the Scriptures, doc
trine not accepted by all. To have

A proposal that sensible Demo-

today by former Representative John

last year after President Roosevelt
opposed his reelection.

Congressional Committee. Mr.. Drew

tee to survey the political situation
throughout the country.
Declaring that presidential elec-
ton last November would have re-
suited in a Republican victory, Mr..
O'Connor wrote: q
If drastic steps are not taken
by sensible Democrats, the result
in 1910 is foregone conclusion, be-
cause we are right back where we
started from in 1882. -
"Postponing any action until the
convention of 1910 will play into

generally regarded by the lumber
trade as adverse" the committee
said.
