thew 2S:3l-46
BY RALPH ROGERS


The lesson today issues the SOL
emn warning that death is near,
md that judgement follows
death. This lesson is found only
in Matthew and here is given the
last report Of Jesus life-work as
he passes Immediately on to his
passion and death. This lesson
has little to do with the judge
ment but emphasizes the prepar-
alton for that judgement. Jesus
is talking to his disciples like a
father talks to his children tell
ing them how to live now, not in
theory but in actual practice to
gain the greatest appreciation.
Jesus here speaks of the end
Of the Messianic age as he calls
himself the Son Of man. He then
proceeds to speak of himself as
the King, all powerful and just
in his judgements. This too is the
only place in the Gospels where
Jesus declares himself to be
King. In other places of course it
is implied. Dummelow says.
Christ here speaks Of Christians
alone" Other commentators have.
argued saying that it means both
Gentiles and Jews. DR.. Frank S.
Mead says they're wasting their
time, ITO Matthew and to most
'of us, Jesus is King Of the whole
world" AL men are to be judg'
ed.
The test Is accurate. Sheep
were gathered on the right hand
for approval and honor and since
the Syrian sheep were always
white, the illustration was well
understood. There could be no
mistake in the dusk or dark. In
the judgement day there could
be no shadow of doubt. Since
Syrian goats were black 1t would
be easy to distinguish them.
However, that Is not our preroga-
tive to do the judging. Zachariah
Coleman in The Revolution Of
Tanners Lane says, Il never,
hardly, see a pure breed, either
Of goat or sheep. Then too, we
are oft reminded of the jingle:
There is so much good in the
worst of us.
And so much bad in the best Of
us,
That il hardly becomes any Of US
To talk about the rest Of US.
Christ is the judge and he knows
the thoughts Of the heart and our
dominant motive. Upon that viii

The fact that so many are speak

Electrical Contractor
Appeals 10 County
On School Lights

An electrical contractor ap-
pealed to the Prince Georges
County Commissioners yesterday
in his dispute with an architect
over school lights.
He also suggested the county
set up its own architects Office
He said it would save consider
able money.
Frank Hawkins. Of the Haw-
kins Electrical Co., Hyattsville,
said he installed the lights
in the Brentwood Elementary
School. He said the architect,
Paul H. Kea Of Hyattsville later
ordered them removed, declar-
ing them inferior to those named
in the specifications.
Mr.. Hawkins argued that other
schools are using the types he
installed. He said the fixtures are
as good, or better than those
specified-and cheaper.
The County Board said it
couldn't act directly since it
doesn't have the contract with
the architect. But the Commits
sioners voted to ask the County
Board Of Education, which does
have the contract, to have the
fixtures left in place.
Only one other matter came
up before the meeting in Hyatts-
vile yesterday. Volunteer fire.

ers who are dismissed because of
reduction-in-force.
The proposal was made by the
Virginian in a letter to President
Eisenhower.
The Civil Service Commission,
despite its good intention, is han
dicapped, Mr.. Broyhill told the
President. It can not find posi-
tions made available by resigna-
ton and retirement that must be
ref1lled as quickly as possible by
Government personnel officers,
he said. .--. e..
In the elimination of certain
bureaus, the legislator said
many career workers with long
and excellent records of Federal
service are caught in a squeeze
play" He referred to the Ma
tional Production Administra-
ton, which soon will be abolished.
Referring to some of these
career employees in NPA, Mr..
Broyhill said reduction -in-force
threatens to terminate their
employment and destroy their
measure of old-age security"
Asking the President to ap-
point the joint committee Of per-
sonnet chiefs to work with the
commission, Mr.. Broyhill said:
II am certain we can eliminate
many of the injustices occurring
unintentionally in the Federal
service today.
Il have no doubt that it is
your desire. as it is mine, to rid
the Government Of political
hacks. But at the same time. we
both want to protect the career
worker and surround him with
the job security and a retirement
future that he so richly de-
serves"

Virginia Restaurants Ask
Local Option for Bars
By the Associoted Press

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va, June
20.-Tidewater restaurant opera
tors today asked the State ABC
Study Commission to recommend
the next Legislature grant local
option on the sale of mixed
drinks, and that enforcement
measures be made a local gov
ernment function.
Walter E. Witt, executive vice
president of the Virginia restau-
rant Association, said he would
make the request to the commits
sion at its hearing at Virginia
Beach yesterday afternoon.
The special State commission,
headed by Chairman Duval Rad
ford, of Bedford, was appointed
during the last session of the
Legislature to examine State
liquor laws and to make recon-
mendations as to whether they
should be liberalized, frightened
or left as they are.

Arrested by Coincidence.
Arrest of the pair came about
by coincidence, Sergt. Nalley
said.
On June IL, the Capitol
Heights f1reboard dispatcher,
Oscar T. Poore, was talking with
the Hyattsville fireboard dis
patcher. Both men listened when
a call came into Hyattsville re-
porting barn fire in Mitchell
vile. The person giving the call
gave his phone number, as Is
customary.
The Hyattsville dispatcher was
about to turn in the alarm when
Mr.. Poore said he thought he
recognized the voice as that of
Sprouse. He suggested a call
to the number given by the per-
son reporting the fire.
The number was obviously
false since a woman in Seabrook,
miles from Mitchellville, an
swered the phone, Sergt. Nalley
said.
Questioning of Sprouse led to
further investigation and arrest
Of Roberts, the policeman said.
Sergt. Nalley said Roberts re-
ported the fires to Hyattsville
because he expected that dis
patchers there would not recog-
( nize his voice.

Maryland 10 Enforce
Old Law on Skinned Milk
By the Associated Press

BALTIMORE, June 20.-The
State Department of Health
yesterday moved reluctantly to
enforce a ban on sale of con-
densed or evaporated SKINNED
milk by retailers.
The ban on such milk, which
has the cream removed, has
been in effect since 1900. The
Health Department tried to have
it lifted by the 1858 legislature,
but the bill died in the Senate
after passing in the House.
The department then asked
the attorney generals office for
advice on enforcing the old law
"The fact that this law is un-
desirable in light of modern con-
ditions does not change the fact
that it would require an act of
the General Assembly to abro-
gate It's effect" replied A. r.
