OF Fight With Dorsey
In Story on Stand

3 LOS ANGELES, Dec. 1.-Some-
body almost whacked off the end
of Screen Actor Jon Halls nose, but
the question still before the jury
trying the Tommy Dorseys and
Allen Smiley for felonious assault
is one of those "whodunnit"
mysteries.
Hall doesn't know who cut him.
He doesn't know whether somebody
at that now famous August party
In the bandleader's apartment used
q knife, beer bottle or what.
But something happened to joins

Testimony Checked.
Hall was voluble witness, but he
was checked on direct examination
yesterday and confined to yes" and
mo" answers. On cross -examina-
ton. Smiley's lawyer, the veteran
Jerry Giesler, would read a portion
of Halls grand jury testimony, point
out portions which he said were in
conflict with what the actor had told
the trial jury, and ask which version
was true.
MY testimony to the grand jury
was true to the best of my knowledge
and belief" the broad d-shouldered
and be-spectacled movie hero would
answer.
But you don't know who used a

is the faithful priest, so devoted
to his religious service and to his
people that he falls from his seat
backward, breaking his neck
when runner brings the news
that Isreal has been completely
defeated in battle, and that the
Ark of the Lord has been taken
by the hAistines. He appears
in the record as a sincere we'll
intentioned man; but he was a
failure as a father, and he al
lowed the priestly office to be
corrupted and prevented in his
sons.
The indictment of Eli is that
'his sons made themselves vile
and he restrained them not
These sons of Eli were, indeed,
critics who had no care for re-
deep-dyed rascals; sheer hypo-
ligion at all but to use it for their
own ends. Fortunately there
haven't been many priests or
ministers like them. Even Paul
kept himself under discipline lest
having preached to others he
should be castaway. T h e
have been ministerial tragedies
among those who were not wise
like Paul.
Some years ago these tragedies

sued by an atheistic group of the
sort that take a prevented de-
light in attacking the Christian
religion. The list of cases in
this mountaineering publica-
ton seemed formidable until one
realized how few they really
were in comparison with the
great number of ministers.
The average minister is a good
man, doing his best according to
his faith and his limitations. His
is a divine calling, but he's hui:

BY WILLIAM E. GILROY, D. D

BY WILLIAM E. GILROY, D. d.
The lessons for the coming
three weeks will deal, respective
ly, with the priest, the prophet,
and the king in the life of Isreal.
The lessons center, around the
lives of three men, Eli the priest,
Samuel the prophet, Saul the
king. Consideration of the func-
ton of one involves study of the
others. There we're greater and
better priests than Eli, more
richly endowed and deeper-see-
ing prophets than Samuel, nobler
kings than Saul, who began well
but ended in failure and suicide.
Sometimes the functions of all
three were combined in one man,
as in Samuel, who was not king
in name but who was actually
the ruler, and who felt it very
keenly when the people rejected
his leadership and asked for a
king.
If Eli is not the highest rep
resentative of the priestly class
in Israel, in himself and in his
career he offers an excellent
case study of ministerial life,
ideals and character, and Incl
dentally of the tragedy Of failure.
unless it be the prophet, with his
eyes full of vision, and his heart
full of love, and his mind full of
convictions, there is no higher tyne
among men than the faithful priest
or minister of God, sincerely and
thoroughly consecrated, unselfish-
ly serving his fellowmen. But be-
cause the place and attainment are
high, there is nothing lower among
men than the unfaithful priest
or minister, the man who makes
his position or office the occasion
Tor his own interest or aggran-
dizement.
In the story of Eli both types
are exemplified. Eli at his best
