cara who saw him attempted to
knock the glass with the whiskey
from the hand of the customer but
that the liquor spilled on his coat
The detective said he was able to
grab it from the customers hand
before it was knocked out of his
hand by LanZara.
Lanzara said the customer must
have brought In his own whiskey.
Attorney Edward Mascolo who
represented the accused attempted
to bring out in the testimony that
the bottle OF whiskey containing one
ounce that the raiding squad in
their search in the cellar found be-
longed to one OF the many tenants
in the five-story block. and that ii
was not the same that the customer
had.
Lieutenant Pakul testified that
they found the liquor beneath the
the store managed by Lanzara and
in the passage way leading to the
cellars of the occupants of the block
Judge Gaffney in passing sentence
said the testimony of Lanzara was
| incredible" and that the patron
who was in his store with the whis-
key in his hands was sufficient evil
dence, He imposed the sentence.

WASHINGTON, June 2 (INS).
Representative Mansfield Cd OF
Texas today said he would await
the nations reaction to defeat OF
his bill providing for construction
of a pipeline and barge canal
across Florida before attempting
to bring the measure up again.
II was indicated that House
rejection of the $4,000, 900 bill
was not because OF the proposed
lpipeline for transporting oil to
the rationed East Coast, but be-
cause of opposition to construc-
ton Of the barge canal.
House members who opposed
the bill placed themselves on
record as favoring pipeline con-
Istruction, but said that 'legisla-
ton is not necessary" They held
that President Roosevelt now has
the authority to order the pipeline
laid and that advocates Of the
barge canal were trying to hitch
their project to the pipeline pro-
posal.
Rep. George Dondero (R) Of
Michigan said there isn't a men,

WEEKLY REVIEW OF THE SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON

1ich in culture, RECALLED with every
amusement, Sodom was type of
the city in its glory. Recall (2)
The sims of Sodom. The beautiful
city was the very cesspool Of mi
guilty, and black indeed was the
catalogue of sins named by Eze-
kiel &c ;49); "Fride, fitness Of
bread, and prosperous ease was
in her and her daughters; neither
did she strengthen the hand of
the poor and needy" It's lust were
notorious. Its pride was manifest
in conceit, haughtiness, and i,rev-
erence. 1t made breadwinning and
money-making the main things, so
that its citizens cared more for
what they ate and had than for
/ what they were. 1t also had a
great idle class in its population.
1t was selfish, Withholding from
the needy, depressing them social
! ly, politically, and financially.
2 Destruction followed the woe
on Sodom. Here is (1) the pic
ture Of a city that went to its woe
The decree went forth from On
high that Sodom should be over
thrown. The warning angels came
bit the Sodomites sneered. At
last Lot with his wife and daugh-
tiers left the city. The hour Of
doom had arrived. The morning
mists were lifting on the hills All
at once liquid fire began to fall.
Soon the streets ran with flame,
the walls crumblcd under the in
tense heat. every living thing was
completely destroyed, and the
whole city with it's environs was
swallowed up in the awful c9nfla-
grafton. Here also is (2) the
picture Of man saved as ny fire.
To Sodom Lot had gone in search
Of wealth There he had Won
money and fame, built his home
and reared his family, spent the
strength of his manhood and the
best years of his life. Almost lit
orally dragged out Of the doomed
city, Lot and his two daughters
hardly reached the safe slopes Of

the secret of disaster is the divine
adherence Of their sinful folly.
The Lesson of the Lesson
| Abstain from Intoxicants- q,
Intoxicants Devour the Body.
Therefore abstain for the sake Of
physical stamina. Strong drink
is the foe Of digestion, circulation
strength Of muscular fiber, and
steadiness Of nerve.
| (2) Intoxicants Weaken the
Mind. Therefore abstain for the
sake of intellectual strength. The
mind Of the drinker is the prey
Of alcohol. Every intellect is weak
ened, the ordinary into lunacy and
the strong into imbecility.
(3) Intoxicants Empty the pur-
Sc. Therefore abstain for the sake
of financial stability. The poverty
of drinking man has passed in
to a proverb. Drink makes the in
dustrious man lazy and the thrifty
man wasteful.
Gold in the Golden Text
The way of the wicked shall
perish. Psalm 1-6.
The person is wicked. He is evil
in heart and life. He is wrong
and goes wrong. He is not right
with God; he does not do right
toward men.
The path he follows is not the
path for others to follow. His
course Of conduct is harmful to
others and not helpful to himself.
The sum total -of his life amounts
to nothing good. He makes no
valuable deposit in the bank Of hu-
man welfare.
The penalty is wreck and ruin
Of himself and all that he has
done in the world. When he pass
es he perishes, and every vestige
of him tumbles into wretched col
lapse, The world is worse be-
cause he lived and better when
he dies.

fires of justice fell,
3. Depravity Haunted the wine
in Sodom. Note double con-
trast here. a. There is contrast
in the foundation of character. In
this song six times God is called
Rock, and on no other foundation
can we build for time and eternity
(2) There is a contrast in fruit
age in conduct. Over against the
good vine in a well-kept vineyard
sustaining a fine family there is
the vine Of Sodom flourishing in
the fields Of Gomorrah: Pluck its
clusters and they are bitter; crush
its grapes and they exude gall;
make wine out of them and you
have the poison Of serpents;
drink it and you reel and writhe
as if stung with the cruel venom
of asps. What a picture of the
poison of sin! In particular, how
vivid is the sketch Of one inflam-
ed by Intoxicating liquors!
A. Decadence focused through
Israel the warning from Scdom.
Note: ~ Danger turks in ease,
The warning is first against false
security. The religious leaders Of
the country depends upon their
connection with Zicn and trusted
their luxurious prosperity Thus
they were lulled with glittering
insecurity and were insensible to
danger. The warning then turns
against false confidence in folti-
fled strongholds of Jeroboam; but
they were besought to trust in
the Lord rather than the mountain
of ,Samaria. The position and
privileges of the leaders ought to
have insured better conduct, for
the people came before them for
counsel and judgment. Three
thrilling instances Of national over
throw are now cited to warn Is
rael. Think Of Calneh, founded hg
Nimrod, ono Of the five great
Babylonian cities, famous and al
most impregnable stronghold
which had recently been subju-
