Plight Of Lithuania Stressed by Speakers
 Independence Urged for Baltic States By Prof. Andrew Schenker Willis-Kelly Resolutions Endorsed

"Iithuania and the other Baltic states of Latvia and Estonia should once again be given their indepen- dence, as guaranteed in theory by President wilson's l4 points and by the Roosevelt Churchill Atlantic Charter" Prof Andre schenker de- clared in c radio address yesterday at The Elton, where several hundred rithuanians gathered to commemo- rate the original independence Of Iithuania.
 Prof. Schenker urged support Of the Willis-Kelly reSolutinoS now pending in Congress, and said the State Department should not let its policy be dormant as far as Lath- uania is concerned.
 Speech Broadcast
 The speaker, whose address was broadcast over Station WATR, said that the Congressional resolutions, as they pertain to Lithuania, do not urge the government to take any stems which would be detrimental to Russia, or to change Its own policy.
 "They merely ask our State De- partment to use it's good offices in order to bring about consideration by international councils of the proposition that Lithuania should be independent and that free elec- tions should be allowed there for government of the peoples choice, !" the speaker said.
 Dr. Mathew J. Colney, who intro- duced the speaker, pointed out that the occasion presented sad memo ries of the past. He pointed out that his ancestral land was no longer in- dependent and that the anniversary was an occasion for commemoration and not celebration.
 The toastmaster pointed out that Lithuania lost its independence in l785 when it was seized by Russia, and that it did not regain it until Feb. l6, 1918. The small Latin na- tion is again under Russian rule.
 Early History
 Tracing the history of the nation, Prof. Schenker pointed out that it was 25O years before Columbus dis covered America that Lthuania was first united into one independent country" He said that Lithuanians settled on the Baltic Sea nearly five thousands years ago. about the time the Egyptie cs were building

narroWness that cuts them of from their brethren. A Hindu was asked his impressions of c summer cone ference of the young people of Q cer~ tain denomination. He was Q man with broad educational background and many friends. He had studied these young people for Q week or more and had weighed them in the balance. When he was pressed for impressions he said, Do you want me to tell you the truth9" The reply was, Certainly" Well, then, the chief impression made upon my mind was one which those young people did not Intend to make. They gave me the distinct impression that God Is Q member of the Caucasian race, the Republican party, and their particular church" Needless to say VIC do not want any more of that kind of narrowness in the Christian Church. That kind of narrowness is the bane and a large part Of the tragedy of the Christian Church.
 But there Is e noble narrowness. Every true Christian has it The great Christians have had lt to superlative degree. st. Paul had it.

Way to Life Is Hard Says Dr. L C. Walker Second Congregational Pastor ClaimS Modern Christian Deceived by Mirage Of Easy Life

wOr the gate Is marrow and the way is hard, that leads to llte, stated Rev pr. John c, Walker' second Congresational Church pas tor, yesterday morning in his sef.- mon entitled, The Other One IS A Mirage,
 Dr, walker said in part
 The modern Christian seems to have been deceived by the mirage oi inc easv life, tho broad highway He sees llfe made comfortable m so many different ways The advertise ments, fl they were to be believed, would lead him to suppose that ne has only Co buy a few more oi tne latest products of modern industry to subscribe for few more oook clubs and correspondence courses and he will be made wise, hand d- some, personable. happy beyond ms widest dreams. The cumulative el- feet of this modern advertising cains paien is to lead many to believe that it is just as appropriate to look TOT labor-saving devices and soit cush : ions in the realm of conduct as u is in the matter Of furnishing a home. And that is where We go astray because Christianity IS lh- eyitably and fundamentally a storm and difficult way of life and not an easy chair philosophy
 As A friend of mine has said, our txet of this morning Is one ot the best known and least popular say inus of Jesus. l. is a word Una, seems to me to turn on the word marrow" Christians are asked to walk a narrow way. There IS no question but that in one sense a' least we are to live narrow liVes' we are to suffer constraint and re- Straint. Out of that narrowness we can hope to develop power and pur- . pose But is not this law of liteF Is it not true that the great leaders inc great saints, have had a certain narrowness that set them oil rom the world and at the same tune made them great? -,

The general theme OF Lady
Luck" as any one could guess from
the title, Is gambling. With the
exception of the character played
by Miss Hale, every one in the picture
believes work Is only for the dull.
The good life as they see it is backing
ones faith with ones money and
being rewarded by the gods which
admire this sort of spirit in mortals.
While this philosophy is not one to
be recommended, 1t makes for more
amusing movies than those derived
from many another theme.

The British dialogue trick of un-
reinstatement Is one of the better
comedy assets of Lady Luck Its
major employer in the screenplay by
Lynn Rott and Frank Senton Is the
character coined by Gleason. Moth
ing he ever has to say is up to the
occasion which provokes him to
speech. occasions which; by the way
are relatively rare.
When the hero, for instance, pro-
tests to Gleason that his marriage is
on the way to the divorce courts
after four hours, the latter is ready
with the philosophic comment:
Nothing lasts forever"
And, when he Is accused OF hating
women, he denies it with the solemn
statement that he loves the sex

with mother until I was II years
old"
