the Son of God, Who loved me, and

That is my testimony this

Christ is within me, I want to
let the world know about it.
I was not brought up in a
Christian home in Chicago.
My parents were not Christian
people, though they had a lot
of religion. But I praise God

Love not the world, neither the
things that are in the world. If any
man love the world, the love of the
Father is not in him.
For all that is in the world, the lust
of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes,
and the pride of life, is not of the
Father, but is of the world.
And the world passeth away, and
the lust thereof; but he that doeth the
will of God abideth for ever. -(1st

Lord Jesus Christ. (Romans 5:D.
Oh, knew of God Who
created this world; I knew all
about that as boy; But did
not know anything of the Lord
Jesus Christ, His Son, dying
for a man like me. But eleven
years ago I found out that Je-
sus Christ died for a sinner like
me.
But God cOmmendeth His love toward
us, in that, while we were yet sinners,
Christ died for us. (Romans $3.50.
Oh, I praise God that while
I was yet a sinner, Christ hung
on Calvary's Cross, nineteen
hundred years ago, and shed
His blood for my sin and your

They were going to reform me.
That is all I heard as a young
ster, reform, reform. Nobody
was interested in me enough to
tell me of Jesus.
AS a young man of sixteen
years of age I came out of the
reform school. I went back to
the City of Chicago. I organ
lied a gang of boys there and
showed them how to break in
to homes. I learned that in the
reform school where they were
going to reform" me. Praise

before a criminal court judge
in Chicago. AS the judge look

you one to ten years in Joliet"
Society did not want any part
of me, so they sent me away,
to make better citizen out of
me this time. After serving
four and a half years time, I
was paroled to a business man
in Chicago. Mr.. NJ. finally
called me to his office and said,
"Now that the parole is taken

Clark and Ferguson
Differ on Clearance
For Public Spy Probe

Attorney General Clark and Sem
ator Ferguson, chairman Of . Senate
subcommittee on expenditures in
the executive department, differed
sharply today on whether the COM
mittee cleared" its espionage in
vestigation with the Justice Depart
ment early In June or on the eve
Of public hearings three weeks ago
The Attorney General wrote the
Michigan Republican last night that
1t was incorrect" that as early as
June committee representatives
told Justice Department assistants
about proposed committee pro-
cedure. He declared the department
first heard of it on July %.
1T is difficult to say how much
damage the efforts to- arrive at q
sound basis for prosecution in the
espionage case has been done by the
open hearings" Attorney General
Clark said.
Interference Denied.
Senator Ferguson, who earlier yes
terday in a speech and letter had
declared the Attorney Generals
office early in June approved COM
mittee hearings, denied in Manis-
tique, Mich. that the committee "has
in any way interfered with any
criminal prosecution"
Referring to the committees ques-
tioning of William w. Remington
suspended Commerce Department
official, Senator Ferguson said:
Il think Mr.. Clark owes it to the
people of the United States that II
he has case, the grand jury should
issue the indictment and he should
proceed with his trial"
In his earlier letter, Senator Fer
guson explained that Committee
Counsel William P. Rogers consulted
with Mr.. Clark's assistants June
and advised them of our purpose
and the procedure planned to be
followed, the witnesses who were to
be called and the questions they
would be asked"
Circumstances Described.
Attorney General Clark replied
that his department did not hear
of the matter until July %, when
Mr.. Rogers, he said, informed Pey.
ton Ford, assistant to the Attorney
General, that the committee was
considering questioning Miss Eliza
beth T. Bentley. avowedtN former
Communist agent.
Mr.. Ferd learned later that the
committee had been questioning
Miss Bentley in secret session fol-
several days, the Attorney General
wrote. Later Assistant Attorney
General T. Vincent Quinn was told
by Mr.. Rogers that only executive
hearings were being considered and
that testimony would be limited tc
Mr. Remington, Mr.. Clark said.
However, on the very next day
at II am. you announced that Miss
Bentley would testify at a public
hearing at 2 pm. that day." Mr.
Clark concluded. "Messrs. Ford and
Quinn both state that at no time
did they advise your counsel o.
any one else on the committee
that hearings by the committee
would not embarrass our investiga'
ton or interfere with or impair oul
work in the case"
