GOLDEN TEXT-BlesSed We. when
men shall revile you. and persccu,c you.
and shall say all manner OF evil against you
falsely. for my sake.-Matthcw 5:ll.
Rejection of Christ by Israel as
nation is pictured in our lesson. We
know how the judgment of God has
come upon that nation because OF
its failure to receive Him and be-
lieve on Him. God had TO take the
vineyard from them and give il TO
others ". l6).
Men today reject Christ, and we
find that the sin which causes them
to do SO and the judgment which fol-
lows are essentially the same as in
the case of Israel. There is reason
for Christ rejection, and there is n
certain time of answering to God for
that sin.
l. Why Men Reject Christ Wv.
9-15).
Self-will, the very heart of all sin,
have His rightful control over our
lives. There are two forces which
may dominate and direct my life
Gods will or self-will. Just as love
of God is the essence of all virtue
(Matt. 22:3738), so love of self is
the essence of all sin.
The leaders of Israel, both politi-
cal and religious, had one great fear
which dominated all Of their think
ing concerning Jesus; namely, that
they would lose all their authority if
Tn L.. Al
for what the leaders must have
known Him to be-the Son of God,
and their rightful King God had
entrusted to them as undcrscrvants
the care of His vineyard, and in
their wicked greed they had deter
mined to have it all for themselves,
even though it meant destroying the
Son and rightful Heir
We need only a moments rehec-
ton TO realize that this is exactly
what occurs every time someone
row rejects Christ. 1t is because in
selfwll that person decides that the
one who has a right to his life is
not 10 have it, There are many
sins, but this is the root sin of them
all.
III. What Happens When Men Re-
ject Christ wv 16-l8J..
Judgment. 1t came to Israel, as
all history even to this dark day so
strikingly testifies. Just so, it will
come to every one who rejects
Christ.
1t is not slight matter of com
paratlve unimportance whether a
man accepts or rejects Christ He
likes to make it appear so, saying
that it is just something about the
local church that he does not like, or
the preacher does not exactly suit
him; or perchance he hides behind
the time-Worn excuse that there are
hypocrites in the church, when in
doing so be proves that he is him
self the worst of hypocrites.
All of these excuses do not hide
the fact that in self-will he is re-
jecting Gods will for his life in
Christ. At the end of that road he
will have to meet the judgment of
God upon sin. God reads the heart,
knows the falsity of every excuse
and the real rebellion against Christ,
which may be hidden from fellow
men by smooth words and polite
manners.
Tear off that mask, unbelicVing
friend who may read these words.
Face the truth that you are rcfus-
ing Christ's authority because you
are sclf-willed, and look squarcly
at the fact that at is appointed unto
men once TO die, and after this com

Can You See This?

The Worlds Fair in New York
produced many notable or notorious
gadgets, such as the thirty-five-cen
hot dog, transparent furniture, and
invisible glass. The latter two items
are now in actual production, and it
may be only matter of time until
some genius combines them into
really invisible furniture which, 1t
must be admitted, has mixed posi-
bilitieS.
When asked to buy it, many house
wives will truthfully say that they
cannot see it, but others will no
doubt succumb to temptation and
purchase from statesmen glib enough
to explain that it never needs clean
ing or shows signs of wear. It may
seem strange, at first, to dine off
rigid tablecloth apparently suspend
ed in mid-air, and it will take time
to teach the family where the furni-
ture is, but these are not insuperable
obstacles.
The biggest asset, and the one that
may eventually get the master of
the house to loosen up his wallet, is
that invisible furniture will entirely
eliminate the dread problem of
having to move it once week be-
cause his wife thinks 1t will look
better somewhere else.

to practical service. As recently as
1886 sociologists were insisting that
people should be afforded more lei
sure. They argued that the worlds
work could be performed in a frac-
ton of the average day. An eco
nomic penalty was imposed upon
producers who operated longer than
a standard eight hours.
Now, however, the destruction &C.
casioned by the war and the new
conditions implicit in the defense Of
civilization against the dangers Of
totalitarian interference with human
progress have stimulated a more &C
curate conception of the meaning Of
even the briefest of moments. Prob
ably never again within the expert
erce of living generations will 1t
happen that youth will have reason
to complain about lack of employ
ment. The whole pattern of econ
omy has been altered in the Western
Hemisphere, If not in the Eastern.
An adjustment on the part of edu-
cational institutions and procedures
inevitably is indicated. This, of
course, does not signify any lowering
of cultural standards. Rather, there
should be a consistent elevation Of
them. To that end as we'll as to
meet the challenge of universal
emergency, a shorter and better cor
related college year, with fewer holi-
days, should prove helpful inno-

Shorter College Year

The Association of American Col
leges has announced that between
four and five hundred liberal arts
colleges in the United States are
planning to offer a three-year pro-
gram as well as the regular four
year schedule Of instruction begin
ming this fall. 1t is limited that the
purpose of what has been described
as "a major change in higher educa-
ton" is ito keep college enrolment
from dropping" by enabling students
to finish their academic careers be-
fore being called into military
service.
But something more important
than a necessary concession to
prospective selectees is involved in
the suggestion for shorter college
year. During the past four decades
the tempo of life has been accelerated
throughout the earth. 1t follows that
time has become additionally pre-
cious. Regardless of the result of the
struggle now prevailing between de-
mocracy and aggression, there can
be little question about the increased
demand which already is being made
upon that portion of each indi-
vidual'S career which can be applied

pilots have scored repeated successes
first at laramie, where part Of
the Italian fleet was holed in; later
at Cape Matapan in the Eastern
Mediterranean, and now in the
epochal North Atlantic battle. One
well-placed torpedo, with its charge
of several hundred pounds of trini-
trotoluol can disable a battleship and
several hits in vital spots preSum-
ably could sink it. 1t was a plane
launched torpedo that slowed the
Bismarck up. Additional hits from
the sky raiders smashed her rudder
and propelling gear, leaving her a
helpless prey of surface warships.
Here was full vindication of Admiral
Fiske's theories, expressed when air
power was in it's infancy.

Aerial Torpedoes

The dramatic Admiralty account
of the pursuit and destruction of
the German battleship Bismarck is
the story of an American admirals
dream come true. Forty years ago,
when the Navy was forming its first
aviation unit under direction of the
Wright brothers and Glenn Curtiss,
Rear Admiral Bradley A. Fiske fore
saw the day when orpedo-carrying
airplanes would take rank with sur
face and submarine torpedo-launch-
ing craft in warfare at sea. Admiral
Fiske followed up his vision by in
venting one of the first devices for
diScharging an automobile torpedo
from warplane.
During the first World War several
nations experimental with torpedo
carrying aircraft, with Indifferent
success. Planes then were slow, and
because it was necessary for them
to approach close to an enemy YES
sci in order to insure a hit, they pre-
scented an easy target for the ships
guns. Aerial bombing seemed to offer
greater possibilities. After the World
War much development work was
done with bombing planes, with the
Germans eventually taking a leading
part in the design and production
Of level and dive bombers.
But Admiral Fishes dream had not
been entirely forgotten here or
abroad. Our Navy has done much re-
search work and testing with planes
equipped with torpedoes and the
value of such methods of attack has
been recognized by our naval experts.
1t remained for the British, however,
to demonstrate in the present war
the enormous possibilities of torpedo
planes. Using a new technique of
attack, which involves a quick dive
out OF the clouds toward the target,
instead OF a long glide, the British

THIS AND THAT
BIZ Charles Z. Trdcetnell.
This is going to be a bad season for

This is going to be a bad season for
ticks.
The dry hot weather has started them
into activity weeks ahead OF the usual
time.
If you live in the suburban areas.
especially in nearby Maryland, be on
the watch for them.
Not only is the tick nasty creature,
but it is a dangerous one, both to dogs
and cats, and also to man.
Fourteen big ticks were taken of a
small Scottish terrier recently, when he
was clipped. Few dogs look more
pathetic, when clipped, than the Scottie.
Tammy who is friend Of ours,
looked very much ashamed of himself
that morning, as he huddled on the mat
on the back porch.
~ *
And there, on his hide, were the marks
left by the IA blood suckers.
Tigey. a cat, has them attached to his
shoulders every day or two.
A heavy sprinkle of the proper flea
powder will help cats with ticks. Not
all powders are good" for ticks.
The ticks cling to tall grass and low
shrubbery. If you want to avoid ticks,
yourself, and what sensible person
doesn't, keep away from overhanging
shrubbery, vacant lots and tall grass.
Some pet owners think cats cannot get
them. but they do.
Tigey was an easy victim, because he
had been fighting, and had some fresh
scars on his shoulders.
-
There are few persons today who have
through ticks.
When they first attach themselves
they somewhat resemble light brown
spiders, with plenty Of legs, but in time
they tend to become swelled w, and
assume very nasty gray appearance.
1t is said that the dangerous Rocky
Mountain spotted fever cannot be gotten
If the ticks are not attached at least 8
hours, so the proper thing to do is to
make a thorough search to see If any
ticks are attached to one, after every
venture into infected places.
These places may be, alas, the home
garden, but are more likely to be vacant
fields and thick underbrush in woods.
They can drop down of shrubs onto
shoulders and neck 1t is good plan to
keep away from shrubbery, at least not
to stand too close or sit too close to it.
X
Dogs and cats will rustic through such
places. There is no keeping them away.
So a tick inspection daily is good proce-
dure.
Children in suburban areas should be
made aware of this danger, and of the
unusually early coming to life of the
annual tick menace this season.

Noise Abatement

Flooded with complaints from
citizens distracted by unnecessary
noises throughout the day and night,
Major Ernest w. Brown has declared
war on violators of the Districts sew
eral anti-noise regulations. This is
welcome news to a host OF office
workers, home owners, apartment
jewellers and other residents whose
working hours and rest at home have
been interrupted day after day and
night after night by illegal sounding
of automobile horns, by inadequately
muffled motor exhaustS, by radios
blaring at full volume, by delivery din
and by other nerve-racking noises.
With the advent of hot weather and
the necessity for keeping windows
open, the plague of noises, always
present, has become real enemy of
work as we'll as rest. It is difficult
enough these sweltering days to work
efficiently and to obtain needed sleep
without having the general diScom-
fort aggravated by ear-splitting
sounds from the street, the alley or
neighboring premises.
There are sufficient laws on the
books right now to deal with this
situation. There is specific police
regulation against the sounding of
automobile horns except as warn
ing of danger. There is a rule re-
curing mufflers on all motor We
hicle exhausts and forbidding the use
of cutouts. And there is a general
regulation providing that ANY per-
son, whether in or upon public or
private property, who at late and
unusual hours of night disturbs the
peace or quiet of any neighborhood"
shall be guilty of violation of the
law and subjected to a fine Of from
one to forty dollars. These bans are
regularly and widely ignored. Auto
mobile horns may be heard at all
hours of the day and night, blasting
signals not at unWary pedestrians or
motorists but to persons in stores or
houses or apartment buildings. AS
for muf1erS, many trucks and motor
cycles seem to be using forbidden
cutouts or to be ill-equipped with
muff1ing devices.
The need, then, is not for more
laws but for stricter enforcement
of the laws and regulations that
already exist and for an educational
effort to impress thoughtless persons
with the gravity of their offense
against the public welfare. A few
arrests have been made in fragrant
cases, but there is no concerted effort
at prosecution. 1t is certain, however,
that a more intensive drive by pre-
cinct patrolmen and by traffic officers
at this season Of the year would net
many more violators than are now
being picked up. Unless the anti
noise regulations are enforced re-
lentlessly, they might as well be
erased from the books. A long
suffering public hopes that the
police, the prosecutors and the
courts will do their parts in abating
the Notwithstanding noise nui-
sance in Washington.

1t is a good thing. in removing ticks.
not to touch them with the hand, but
to use a pair of tweezers.
This injunction Is often violated some
times to the great hurt Of the person
who does so.
One cannot be too careful about the
tick menace.
The ticks were supposed to have been
brought to this section of the country
by the so-called bonus army. At least,
they showed up In force immediately
thereafter. Previous to that time, they
had been confined to the Rocky
Mountain areas.
Ticks and poison ivy, another menace,
seem to 60 together. Where one is. the
other is likely to be found.
Tammy, the Scottish terrier, comes
around every morning at exactly 5
o'clock.
He sits on the back porch, often side
by side with Tigey, the cat.
Sometimes, but not always, he an
nounces his arrival by soft bark.
If this gets no results, he tries deep
howl or two.
The result he desires, it scarcely need
be said, is just something to eat.
Tammy got started on this by finding
platter Of salmon for the cat Although
he does not like salmon, he sampled 1t,
from time to time, when he was especial
ly hungry.
Meat is what he likes, either fresh
or canned.
The dog food industry is now large
one, and no wonder, If you have ever
seen dog eat.
A cat takes its time. 1t will not hurry.
But dog fairly bolts its food. The diff
ference is explained by the short length
of the dogs alimentary canal. 1t makes
no difference to a dog whether it swal-
lows meat whole or not.
If pound of prepared dog meat is
put on paper for Tammy. and taken
out to him on the porch, he will have
it almost all swallowed before you can
get back into the kitchen and look
round at him.
This speed of consumption seems
particularly amazing to Tigey, who keeps
an eye open to see that the little dog
does not try to get his food.
When Tigey quits, the Scottie sidles
in carefully, and eats what is left in q
fash Of his white teeth.
If another dog appears, Tammy as
Sumes his most belligerent attitude bark
ing furiously and meaningfully.
No other dog, however large, has ever
stayed to dispute the porch with him.
These Scotties have q way with them,
evidently, which means business to other
dogs

OF American Use Of the Seas.

Discusses Alleged "Dictation"
OF American Use Of the Seas.
To the Editor Of The Star:
In David Lawrence's column Of May ~
he says that never has the United States
permitted q foreign government to
dictate how it may use the high seas"
Let me suggest that Britain is die
tating to us right now, by her use OF
navicerts, by her refusal to recognize our
3oo-mile neutrality zone and by search
ing our ships and mails.
During the first World War Britain
stopped American ships on the high seas,
forced them into her ports to be
searched. The ships were detained on
suspicion only, often for months on end
while cargoes deteriorated.
Britain opened American mail pouches
and confcated packages addressed to
neutral countries on the plea that they
were destined for the enemy. She even
tempered with mails from European neu-
trail countries addressed to us.
Any notes Of protest that were sent
we're ignored or the answer was delayed
for months. When 1t did come the
British government refused to yield
single point.
Great Britain ignored the list of con-
traband stated by the Declaration of
London, 1909, and made her own list,
which included everything from food to
silk stockings.
BY sanctioning such contraband, ship
carrying such articles, whose destination
is known, can be sunk by any belligerent
under international law.
Since the canaan was an Egyptian
ship and Egypt is not truly neutral be-
cause she allows Britain to use her
harbors for repairs and her naval and
air bases, and the ship admittedly was
carrying what the English call contra
band, an enemy had the legal right to
sink her. The United States is In error
for allowing or encouraging her citizens
to travel on q ship whose country Is not
really neutral.
AS for the legality Of blockades during
the World War, as now, Britains
blockade was ineffective, therefore
illegal; so is Germany's, but we re-
cognize Britain's and do not recognize
Germany's.
Mr.. Lawrence, and some others, seem
to think that one set of rules should apply
to Britain and another to Germany, but
what is right for one should be right for
all.
Why not call spade spade? What
the people need now is the truth and
not lot Of statements that history has
proved wrong. l.. K. PARENT.
