Religion

By WILLIAM T. L L

Two developments in the life of
our S%Warthmore home troubled me
This Spring. One was the failure of
our great and gorgeous white wis
terra to bear it's usual lavish bloom,
The other was the realization that
its companion, az old acebia vine,
failed to bear a single blossom
within sight.
I am not sure of the correctness
of that name "acebia": l cannot
find it in the books. 1t is not a
common plant: l have never seen
another specimen. Its flowers are
OF delicate brownish-purple color,
and of curious formation, but a de-
light to the eye.
For several years we have neg
ected to prune it, and now it bears
us blossoms up on the roof, out of
u sight. for the angels to enjoy.
below We see only the ragged.
twisted stems of the vine.
IL mas u so wild that it has an
parently choked the growth of the
mlstefla. So down it has come, to
my lasting disappointment.
al because we failed to prune
~. winch thought opens a wide
ooor 10 meditation upon the place
~ pruning in human lives at the
aaaos OF the Great Gardener.
nelt to ourselves, O Lord III

To Save Mcfarland

Only the slim chance of Supreme
Court Intervention today stood be.
tween Earl Mcfarland and his

take the case to any member of the
Supreme Court he is able to find in
the city during the high tribunals
summer recess. The Supreme Court
already has refused to review the
case on its merits.
Before the appellate court acted
yesterday, Justice David A. Pine OF

motion for a stay of execution
pending lunacy hearing and also
declined to delay carrying out ot
the death sentence while Mr.. Ennis
appealed from the jurist's ruling.

conducted in the chambers of Chief
Justice D. Lawrence Groner. with
Mr.. Ennis and United States Attor-
ney Edward M. Curran present.

proceedings in Justice Pines court
the 25-year-old defendant, who is
scheduled to die at 10 am. tomor-
row, was brought into the court
room, manacled to deputy marshals
Mcfarland appeared pale and hag-
gard, but he was still able to Jest
with his guards. When asked what
he would like to have before he
faced the electric chair, he said he
would like q chicken dinner and q
can opener.
The death sentence is due to be
carried out in the District Jail. from
which Mcfarland and Joseph D
Medley, another convicted murderer
managed to escape last April 3 b,
overpowering their guards and cut
ting their way through a venti-
lator with can opener they had
secreted in the deathhouse. Medley
was captured a few hours later, but
