country into war for obvious res-
sons. With an equal opportunity
men would cooperate"
Both candidates of the larger
parties failed To arouse Aiken's
enthusiasm because he feels they
fail to offer a solution to present
economic and international prob
lens OF the country.
Two Big Problems
THE two primary issues In this
campaign are the increasing dan
ger OF war and the unemployment
problem" he declared. This war
is not being fought between cham
pions OF dictatorship and democ-
racy, as many would have us be-
lieve. but for the imperial interests
OF world markets"
Platform OF the Socialistic party
was set forth as being an aim to-
ward industrial. rather than politi-
cal government. with means OF
production and distribution col
lectively owned.
He carried the banner of his
party four years ago. and was its
nominee for vice president in 1892.
Greater progress than ever before
Is expected this year because of the
fact the party Is on the ballots of
Fl states and the firm conviction
the number of people In the United
States who are coming to accept
views OF the party are increasing.
Aiken. a married man with five
children. Is an antique furniture
finisher and reproducer between
campaigns. He has been a member
of the party 20 years. His interest
in labor and it's problems is said to
date from the time he, as youth,
engaged in an extensive strike.
He has studied law, although he
has never practiced.
His present tour will cover 49,
900 miles and will be concluded
No. l. He then plans to return
TO his home in Chelsea, Mass.

Hope to Save
Bond Interest
Would RefinUnce
Two Stote Bridges

The state toll bridge authority
in Olympia l. studying a plan 70
refinance its 5000. 900 worth Or
revenue bonds issued on the Ia
coma Harrows and Lake Washing
ton bridges % a. 10 save 81 500. :
900 Ia interest, IL was learned
Friday.
1t adopted, the move will mean
one Of two things; or possibly
both: l. The bonds issued TO fl
nance them can be paid off sooner
and the bridges will be free at
an earlier date. 2. Tolls charged
can be cut because OF the lower
interest rate.
The authority = year ago
issued s5,500.o00 worth Of
per cent s0-year bonds on the
Lake Washington bridge and
sold them to private syndI-
cate Of bond houses. An
other ss,5z0.oeo worth was
issued on the Tacoma Mar
rows bridge and purchased by
the Reconstruction Finance
corporation.
Because the bridges are a big
ger success financially and other
wise than their fondest hackers
anticipated the bond companies
and RFC have agreed To give back
to the authority the four percent
bonds and take others bearing
only three and an eighth percent
interest. 1t was reported. The new
bonds will be for Is to 20 years
instead of so, which means the
tolls will be dropped from the
bridges that much sooner.
BY reissuing the bonds at a
lower rate OF interest and for
half the number Of years the
authority will be able 10 save
bridge-users from having to
pay s1.600.000 In interest.
Because they do not have to
pay so much interest, the author
ity can lower the tolls it charges
cars and passengers over the two
bridges or keep them up and pay
off the bonds before their ma
turity dates.
The plan OF reissuing bonds on
the bridges Is not a new maneuver
1t was said, the San Francisco
bridges having undergone similar
financial readjustments as travel
picked up and income rose.

ImmObiliZed'

LONDON, Dec. 1.-(Sunday)-B
A plea to America to tighten and
extend export controls $50 as to in
sure that no vital materials get
through to the enemy" was voiced
tonight by Hugh Dalton, minister Of
economic warfare and master of
Britain's blockade of Germany and
Italy.
"You could refuse financial facili-
ties to our enemies" Dalton said in
a North American broadcast.
you could immobilize all enemy
ships in your ports and you could
decline to trade with firms in neu-
trail countries who are friends of the
enemy"
Dalton contended that through the
blockade the Germans ARE now
back where they were six months
ago-or worse.
He called Italy much poorer than
Germany.
"Italy's heart is not in this war;"
he said.
He urged America to send planes
"anl more planes. And we shall
bomb their "a machine to pieces"

Under the title IAN Exacting
Discipleship," this lesson empha-
sizes two aspects of sincere and
earnest Christian discipleship that
have not always been associated
in thought or in individual Chris
tan experience. On the contrary,
too often they have been regarded
as mutually contradictory.
These two aspects of Christian
discipleship are tolerance and in.
tenslty. If they had both been rec
ognized and practiced, how diff
ferent the curse of the Christian
centuries might have been! Is il
not also strange how the clearest
and most incisive teachings and
examples of the New Testament
are the things most disregarded
in practice?
Jesus emphasizes the lesson OF
tolerance in a striking incident.
Some man, observing the course
of Jesus and probably under the
influence of His teaching, had been
casting out demons in His name.
That is all we know about him, but
evidently the man vas acting sin
cerely and with efficacy.
But John, always very earnest
and intense for his Master and for
the rights and privileges of the in
ner group of disciples, rebuked the
man and forbade him .,ecause, as
he said, 'he followeth not U.S."
But Jesus rebuked John in very
clear and emphatic words, For
bid him not, for he that is not
against us is for U.S."
That is the lesson of tolerance.
The tolerant Christian cares more
for right principles and right &C
ton and good results than he does
for labels and organizations and
for agreement with his own par
ticular expression of religious opin-
ions. He realizes that it is by their
fruits that faith and teaching are
known, and he is willing to recog-
nize the good that is done even
though it may be done by and

Sunday School Lesson

through those with whom he diff
ters very sharply regarding points
OF doctrine, organization, or other
matters.
Can Christian people be thus toll
Grant and at the sane time be
earnest and consecrated in living
up to their oWn convi Ions? Why
not? Here in the lesson Jesus is
just as insistent upon TIE intensity
OF discipleship. 1t is enforced in
two or three ways.
There is the story of a certain
man who came and expressed the
purpose to follow Jesus wherever
he might 60. The reply of Jesus is
as impressive as it is sad. The
foxes have holes and the birds OF
the air have nests, but the Son of
man hath not where to lay His
head"
The other incident of the man
who would follow Jesus, but who
said, Lord, suffer me first to go
and bury my father" This is a
little more difficult f us to I'M
derstand. On the surface, and with
the bold statement as it stands,
our sympathies' seem to be with
this man who made what appeared
to be a reasonable request; but we
do not NOW what was in the back
ground of the incident. The prob
ability is that Jesus sensed in the
man some insincerity and that He
said this to put him to the test.
There are passages and incidents
in Scripture in connection W i tn
which we have to construct an
imaginative background unless we
are to be misled into harsh and
unfair interpretations. The COM
passionate Christ who wept as he
entered the home of Mary and
Martha where his friend, Lazarus,
was dead, could not have been un-
sympathetic toward a man pro-
Tossing sincere concern about his
father.
But one thing does stand out:
that Christian discipleship is ex-
acting. 1t is the supreme COM
mltment of a mans life; and in
the real showdown nothing can
stand in its way. |
