SPIRES OF THE SPIRIT
The Deed, the Deed
BY DIR. FREDERICK BROWN HARRIS
Chaplain Of the United States Senate


varieties plus Of religious
beliefs there is always being
added another cult or sect
composed Of those who feel
a passion to proclaim to the
world their particular con-
ception Of eternal truth.
Whatever is the matter
with this ailing world, it is
not a dearth Of creeds.
Churches recite them. Frater-
mites frame them. Clubs
declare them. If creeds could
bring in the millennium,
Utopia would have arrived
long ago. There are enough
beautifully phrased standards
Of conduct and behavior to
make good Samaritans of all
men who strive for ethical
excellence. and for human
relationships based on neigh
borliness and cooperation.
Societies and organizations
galore. in solemn and i'm
pressive limitations. proudly
point to charters written as
with a pen of gold and that
flash and flame with an
idealism which puts to shame
the shabby practices of this
acquisitive world Of get and
grab. There are creeds
enough If put into operation
to fill the earth with kind
ness and unselflsh service.
But, alas, so often lofty
announcements shine but as
the adornments of a ritual.
They are like the Venus de
Milo, with an ineffable smile
OF pity, but with no hands
OF mercy and help.
Some time ago the ma
tional president of one of the
largest of the Nations Or
CARNATIONS for men, which
has local clubs in most of our
great cities, declared at a
convention that the basic
principles Of this brotherhood
were "a Magma Charta for
the world" and then, after a
most eulogistic characterize
ton Of their creed, he added,
All that remains to be done
is to translate our beliefs
into reality"
To be sure, that is all that
remains. but the distance
between creed and deed is
more than a long sea mile
and the traversing of the dis
lance between the two is all
that saves pious professions
from being naught but sound
ing brass and a tinkling GYM
bal. The whereases of a reso-
luton are not half as i'm
portant as the Therefore, be
it resolved"
The Great Teacher of Cali
lee was looking at the gap
between the creed and the
deed when, with deep emo
ton, He asked, why call We
me Lord. Lord, and do not
the things which I say?" His
search was always for doors
of the word, not hearers
whose aims never get as far
as practlce.
The Hebrew prophets
heaped whitening scorn
upon those whose religion
confined itself to temple cere-
mony. Hear a divine spokes-
man as he thunders: ITO
what purpose is the multi
tude Of your Sacrifice?. .
The new moons and Sab
baths, the calling of assem-
blies. I cannot away with .. .
your appointed feasts my soul
hateth wash you, make
you clean; put away the evil
of your doingS from before
mine eyes; cease to do evil;
learn to do well; seek judg-
ment, relieve the oppressed,
judge the fatherless, plead
for the widow" That surely
is a vivid enough indication

Hobart S. Ratlif, 30, of
Hinton, w. Va, was accused
by robbery squad police with
boldly walking into Govern

small sums of money.
1t. Eugene Sisson said the
suspect would first learn the
name, of a supervisor, and
when he knew he was away,
would drop into the Office and
tell employees he was a friend
of the boss and had intended
to ask him for a little loan
to fix his car.
Sympathetic workers Clipped
in with $40 or Sis, believing
they had done themselves a

Ratliff was picked up at
Fourteenth and U street last
night by Detectives Charles M.

cause of his belligerent atti-

Police said four other per-
