smorgasboard.

support of the right people, and a
reach for the right people to settle
on the right politician -- one who
can lead them to rainbow victory

CHICAGO, Feb. IA week oi
intensive investigation by Chi
cago's top policemen has failed
to uncover any clues in the shot
gun Staying of a ward politician
The first possible clue. a shot
gun recovered in Wisconsin. was
ruled out by police yesterday after
q test disclosed it was not the
weapon used in killing Charles
Gross. 56, acting Republican COM
mitteeman Of the s1st ward.
The clue to the shotgun was
obtained from four Chicago
youths who were seized for Ques-
tioning about automobile thefts.
They said they had broken into an
automobile trunk after the Gross
shooting ON February s and had
stolen a shotgun. They said thew
gave it to a farm worker from

Greek Wise Man then said, Had
he nothing for the rest of the
world? by continual questioning,
he found out that the Israelites
were servants, to keep the truth
alive whereby the world at last
may known the true God and be
saved. So the Greek Wise Man
prayed fervently again that he
might see the King when he was
come, and the 'Star" appeared to
him and he received his message
from God in spirit as did the
others. This is very brief, as each
related their stories in full. The
Greek threw up his hands and
said, This light of my people
depends on me-" 1t was now the
Jew or Israelite to tell his story.
The Egyptian went on to say
Religion in my country is mere
ly the law which binds man to
his Creator, such was the wor-
ship of our. father Mizraim, who
could not have been blind to the
formula of creation; nowhere so
descernable as in the first faith
and the earliest worship. Per-
fection is God; simplicity is per-
fection. The curse is that men
will not let truths like these
alone" So much coming and
going of peoples, they became
corrupted, that our people and
valleys became the valley of the
Gods. And only the things that
man cannot reach, remain as
they come to us we had a King
that lent himself to all manner
of vile things and corruption. He
then said, II come now to the
unrecorded secrets" In my
country we had two religions,
one private, the other public;
One of my Gods practiced by
the people; the other by the
priesthood.

all the trampling by the many
nations, all the narrowing by
Kings, all the inventions of
enemies, all the changes of time
have been in vain. Like a seed
under the mountain waiting the
hour for the Truth to be born.
I brooded over the thought of
'Transmigration" and Eternal
Life in Heaven, and some to the
conclusion there were distinc-
ton between the good and the
bad, one saved and the other
lost, and our past worship was
all "Mockery." Then they arose
and said "We go to find our
King and to worship Him.
The ''sad" thing to the Three
Wise Men was that they were
getting old and they might die,
before the peoples of the Earth"
had learned the real truth of
'Devine Worship" However
"Jesus" was with them now and
all the peoples of the world
need not be in ignorance. He was
all for one and one for all. One
earth, one people, and one langu-
age. One God and one way to
worship before the Ascension"
of Jesus to heaven. He told the
Apostles and the 500. To go into
all nations and preach the Truth
and Gospel. So far we have not
obeyed, we have sent a few, but
God ordered 500 at that time it
took hundreds and hundreds of
Russians to teach the Chinese
how to become outlaws and COM
munists. Now with sound reason
ing, it would take thousands or
armies of teachers for India and
China; for the poor old wise
man, who was so abundantly fill
ed with the "Holy Spirit" has
yet to see his country shown the
True Worship.

, much as absolute sleep. The first
order was in student life. The
second married life. At this
period it questioned even me,
Brahma. I now stood on the
threshold of dawning of a per-
feet day, and beheld the prin-
ciples of life, the element of re-
ligion, the link between the soul
and God-Love. There are pages
could be written. But all their
stories when they related them
to each, in the desert, were of
equal despair. This was the rea-
son for the coming of Jesus, for
all Nations were in darkness;
and these three Wise men stud
led and questioned their worship
and proved to themselves beyond
doubt, all their worships were
Idols Worshipping': it is still
that way in various lands, in
Guiding some of our own.
The Greek related that their
religion and rituals were written
by two philosophers whose be-
liefS on worship were greatly
at variance, and the Wisemen did
not believe it worth while to
work on a solution in their way
of worship. So ! tore myself
from my people; went away and
lived as a hermit prayed and be-
lieved it possible, $50 to yearn
