ALDERMEN VOTE
 ON BILL TONIGHT
Anderson Gym Construc. tion to Begin Shortly If
 Board Ballots Favorably

The city Board of Aldermen will meet this evening In the city hall to consider the $i7,0o0 appropriation asked by the Board of Education for the proposed Anderson School gym nasiuin, and If that body votes ia. vorably on the bill. construction work on the gym will begin shortly according to reliable information.
 Mayor Vincent A. Scully will ap- pear before 0 special meeting of the Board of Education tomorrow eve- ming to submit the report of the Board of Aldermen. It is expected that at that time the low bid of $e4,8s2, submitted by the Smith Construction Company of Derby will be formally accepted at the rec- ommendation of the Schoolhouse committee. Architectural plans for the project have already been drawn by Thomas D. Freney, who will re- ceive s per cent as his fee on the Smith Company estimate.
 Last week, when bids for the gymnasium were opened before the Schoolhouse committee, 1t was dis. covered that none of the submitted estimates could be acceptable. since the city had appropriated $50,00o for the project, or roughly $l4,00o less than the lowest bid. The board voted to ask for an additional ST. GOO, to include architectural fees and light and power costs charges. Last week the board of finance approved the bill.

More Pageantry For
 Church Rites Urged
Rev. Dr. John C. Walker Claims Passion Play Drama Lifts and Inspires as Few Sermons Ever Hope to Do

T make bold to say that wish we might use a very little more pageantry and ceremony in some of our services, on a few, Q very few. of the great days of the church year." stated Rev. Dr. John c. Walker, Second Congregational church pastor, yesterday morning in his sermon entitled, Jesus Was a Dangerous Characterl"
 pr. Walker said in part: 1T feel that there must be good reason why candle light services appeal to our young people at their summer con- ferences. It seems to me that "A Celebration of the Christian Church leaves more profund im- pression on the average man than any series of sermons on church

history could give. If people come many miles to witness a Passion Play and so many are so deeply moved 1t must be because the play answers some elemental need, be- cause it satisfied some deep longing in the human heart. The Passion Play is nothing new, 1t is the old, old story you have heard in Sum- day school and in church all the days of your lives. But the Passion Play Is the Gospel in action, the Gospel in drama. Because 1t is drama, 1t lives and moves, 1t lifts and inspires, as few sermons can ever hope to do.
 Yes, Jesus was dangerous char acter. Let's go further and say that Jesus is still a dangerous character. We think of Jesus and rightly as gentle, meek and mild. We think of Him as the kindly friend and loving Saviour. Jesus was the one who refused to lift @ hand i'll His own defense. All this is true but 1t Is not the whole truth. Jesus was and is the agitator, the heretic, the revolutionary. Christianity Is Q radical religion. It goes down to the roots. Christianity is a stand- ing menace to any order or state that is compounded of greed and oppression, that is founded on tyr- amy and exploitation. Hence the wrath of Hitler and the uneasy truce between Mussolini and the Vatican.
 But 1t Is not only under the dic- tatorships that Jesus proves a thorn in the flesh. Jesus Is still the dan. gerous character when we seek to apply His principles to the social and economic order He IS so recog- nized both by the friends and the critics of the present order. When Arthur Henderson was asked to nc. cept a post in the British cabinet, the first Labor party man to re- ceive the honor, he said, There Is no greater force for revolution in the world today than Jesus Christ. Mine is @ very old gospel. It was first of all proclaimed by the Car penter of Nazareth" Henderson was not talking of revolution in terms of violence but in terms Of social change that would preclude and prevent violence and war but 1t was a radical change, none the less.
 And so I pray you as you think of the first Palm Sunday want you to sec something more than a brave show, gay procession. l want you to note the courage, the deep seated wisdom. the forward march of the Moster. That Jesus still leads on. I believe that Jesus still desires our acclaim, our grati- tude, our loyalty. But deeper still believe that Jesus wants us to fol- low Him when the way is hard and dimcult.' when Christians are called upon to pioneer new roads and open new paths, when We are called upon to begin the laying of the foundations of the new order, the better. Saner, more brotherly order in human society and among the nations of the world. Jesus is still in peril. His program is still far from fulfillment. Jesus still needs the faith and courage of those who will follow Him all the way.
