ish law, had to be inspected with
in a day Of the sale becoming
final; the third had just been
married. These excuses were
valid, if sincere, but Judging from
1.-THE anger of the host he realized
that the guests merely did not
care to avail themselves of his eff
fort to entertain them.
There is no positive sin as
cribed tc the refusing guests;
their fault is that of pre-occupa-
ton and indifferences", says
George Christie. Their private
affairs cannot wait, they think;
so the host must wait for them
in vain. The sample excuses are
suggestive. There is property,
which speaks of land and pride
and ambition: there is the new
team OF oxen telling of business
and industry: and there is the
bride, warning MS how home and
comfort may affect to lower lew
els the life of the soul. General
~, they suggest that things IN
themselves innocent may make a
man lose the best when the issue
is the direct call TO God to the
individual
THE parable is not over
drawn, says j.. z. Miller. There
are great many people who lose
their lives for things worth even
less than a ten-acre field. Esau
got only plain meal as the price
OF his birthright. Judas got about
twelve or thirteen dollars for his
act of treason to his Master
which has blackencd his name
for all generations. Caring for
property is always an insidiSus
danger. II is not meant to be q
snare 10 righteousness ought to
be help hcavcnward".

their lives to tho highest possible
good. To those who ought 10 fol-

Seven miracles of mercy per-
formed by Jesus on the Sabbath
! Day are reported in the gospels,
four of them by Luke.
One of the chief Pharisees had
invited Jesus to dinner and his
opponents watched him in order
to find something to criticize and
condemn. Seeing man with the
dropsy and realizing fully the
rather hyprocritical, legalistic
strictness of the Pharisees regard
ing conduct on the Sabbath Jesus
asked the critics two questions:
The first was whether it was
lawful to heal on the Sabbath and
receiving no answer Jesus healed
the afflicted man. Then, answer
ing their unspoken disapproval.
Jesus asked the second question,
whether or not there were any
present who would not rescue his
OK fallen into a pit, even if 1t hap
pened on the Sabbath Day. Once
again, there was no answer
Observing the conduct of those
who were also at the dinner Jesus
used the situation there to ham,
mer homo vital spiritual truths.
To the guests, who were vying
with each other for favored places
of honor and prominence. he rec
commended humility. To the host.
Jesus pointed cut that hospitality
to friends, kinsmen and rich
neighbors in the expectation Of
like recompense was selfish.
whereas it would be a much more
generous and friendly act to In
vite the poor. the MANNED. the
lafi1e and the blind. who could not
repay socially. to such a gather
mig.
Wherever today. amid the In
tricacies Of q more complicated
civilization. the hungry are fed.
the naked clothed. the waits and
strays provided for. the hearts
that have done this well still be
blessed with the Masters ancient
blessings. says ]. M z. Ross.
The church can never be done
with this passage because she IL
pcrpetually tempted to forget the
lesson. She has often been in
clined to admit to her feast of
honor the wronE people. Even as
early as the DAVIS Of the Epistie Of
James. the man with the gold
ring counted for far too much.

Cooperative Takes Over
Manassas Utility Holdings
Special DISPATCH to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
MANASSAS, Va, July 1.-THE
Prince William Electric Co-opera-
tive yesterday officially took over
the holdings of the Bull Run Power
Co., negotiations for which were
begun several months ago
H. B. Lee, manager, announced
that g $j25OOO loan, approved last
week by the State Corporation
Commission, has been granted by
the Rural Electrification Admins
tration to the new cooperative.
Mr.. Lee said that 100000 of the
amount will be used to purchase the
assets of the Bull Run Power Co.
which were not already covered by
R. E. A. financing; $4,000 will go to
the stockholders and the balance of
the loan will be used to rehabilitate
and expand the system.
A new power plant is under con-
struction in Manassas at the cost
of $165 000 Generating facilities
were put into operation this week,
but the plant will not be completed
for six weeks, according to Mr.. Lee.
Work on 200 miles of additional
lines in Prince William, Fauquier
and Stafford Counties will begin
Immediately. The present system
comprises approximately 200 miles
of power lines in these counties
and Fairfax. Headquarters of the
cooperative are in Manassas.

Of international character in Mos
COW, would name the circus. AL
the performers are citizens of one
of the national republics but the
acts are almost identical with those
seen by citizens of Springfield
Mass, and Springfield, Ohio. begin
ming with tumblers and ending with
a great ape eating dinner, reading
book and riding bicycle.
Bucking Mule Stars.
The favorite comedian at any
Soviet circus is the Charlie Chaplin
type clown. People always applaud
him more than any other performer
One of the outstanding circus acts
was a bucking mule that con-
slstently defied the efforts of six
amateur cowboys from the audience
to ride him. The mule not only
bucked like a broncho but was a
past master at butting like a goat
An ad lib incident occurred last
night when Charlie, the great ape
made a pass at the waitress when
she took his dish away before he had
finished eating his soup. What
followed wasn't in the script and it
brought the house down.
The topnotch act of skill was
performed by three aerial acrobats
who did their stunts from a small
but real airplane that circled the
arena suspended by a cable. This
was really big time act for any
country. Another laugh act was a
ringmaster with three donkeys that
wouldn't do anything he tried to
make them do.
Audience of Workers.
Most of the audience was composed
of workers on their way home
There were plenty of small boys, as
there would be at any circus per-
formance at New York, or at e.
PaSo, Tex.
There were very few Red Army
men present, but great many men
in civilian clothes. The topic of war
was touched upon three or four times
when jokes were told at the expense
of Hitler. Most of the jokes made
their point on play of words which
are difficult to translate and also
not always readily understandable
when taken out of the Russian. The
audience howled at every reference
to Hitler.
I heard the best joke when the
circus was over. The story was that
Mussolini was so tired and haggard
from overWork and worry that his
physician ordered him to go to Ger
many for the sake of his health and
take complete rest. When he re-
turned a week later he was more
tired and haggard looking than ever
His physician asked what had hap
pened to him in Germany. Musso-
lini said Hitler wouldn't lot him
have any peace at all.
