DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1923.

h The People’s Voice t At Sunday School Next Sunday ( Editor Democrat: — in the next lesson of the various , Protestant Sunday schools, of Oct. 28. We will study a missionary message. , The thought that tlte Old Testament , is as binding us th** New Covenant Is 1 foreign to Mary. Indeed, the New - Testament is an outgrowth of the Old if not just an interpretation of • tile Old. In the New Testament : we carry out the program of the Old. , Christ came In harmony with the Old ] Scriptures. He said, "For Verily, 11 I say unto you, till heaven and earth I pass, one jot. or one little shall in no wise pass from the law till all be fulfilled. This refers directly to the law that went forth out of Zion.” It is true in every respect that wo < Christians worship under the same law that the Jews received by inspiration. We excep tthe interpretation of one of their own Robbis, henoe, we hav ■ the Jewish religion in its completeness and in its fullness. This great Rabbi emphasized God’s spirit as the life of the law and condemned the' I form without the spirit of God's love! ' as hyprocritical. One of the strong statements in] next Sunday's lesson is taken from , the 4th chapter and first verse of Micah. "But in the latter days it shall come to pass, that the Mountain of Jehovah's house shall be established lon the top of the mountain, and it [shall be exhalted above the hills; and [ peopjes shall flow unto it.” This is a positive statement and is binding on. ! Christian organizations. Christianity is a growth upward toward the i top of the mountain and not a tobog!an slide toward the valley. It is an I evolutionary process for the "people I shall flow unto it,” after this doctrine is placed on top of the very | 'highest mountain to be found. The' church should be the very highest I place in the community, both intellectually and spiritually. | No school, no college, no club, no ■ secret order, no profession,’ no law made by man. no money making scheme, no picture show or theatre, . should take precedence over it.. The above mentioned and many other influences are the high places in all communities, but they do not contain enough truth to be the mountain on which to build an institution with which to hold the place of the world. No doubt, but it is a great pleasure I to develops a fortune, mechanical de-1 vices, the best grade of fruits, the best line of domestic animals or advance beyond others in some profession. but the best of all growths is that physicial, moral, mental and spiritual strength that will enable us to hold the fortress of Sinai against all comers. The world is reaching out for something that will prevent war. The force must be international. It must come from a high place that is of such ■ magnitude that all nations can "flow up to it.” It may not be a League of Nations, or it may not be a world court, but it must embrace a mental and spiritual evolution of man. Every, thing so for has failed but the truth. It never has been tried. Our histories have been deceptions. The emphasis lias been put on Might, blood and dark diplomacy. Our rising generations should be taught the truth. Behind every war is a villian or a set of villiaift whose Halo and shoulder straps should be eliminated by the historian and they should be painted the demons they are. Just think how the people united and imperialism during the world war. They fought to make war impossible. The Armistice was signed. ; The cannons roar died and smoke cleared. Plenty of Program for war but none for peace. We have been , left in the hands of politicians who are willing to sacrifice anything for . an office. Coming generations should , be taught that Mount Sinai is the | highest mountain, in the world. It , towers above Mount Heidleberg, or ( Mount Creid, Neither of these will ] lift the people above the passions of | this under world. You must scale ; Mount Sinai if ever you are able to say, "Get thee behind me, Satan.” | o ( Ralph Ormsby, Race Driver Is Fined SIOO and Costs 1 i Fort Wayne, Oct. 27. —Ralph Orms- f by, auto race driver, was fined ?100 ‘ and sentenced to serve 30 days in jail ‘ yesterday by Judge Sol A.

United Press Sports Editor Picks All Winners Henry L. Farrell, sports editor of " tho United Press, was one of the few sports writers who did not pick the New York Giants to win the world's series from the New York Yankees. After a series of articles in which the two teams were compared, position by position, and in which the "superiority complex" of tho Giants was explained as their greatest asset, Furrell concluded the final article, 1 which appeared in the Red Better for release on October 9, with this prediction: "The Giatns, it is true have many reasons and causes why they should win, but we do not believe they will." In a series of Red Letter articles last April, in which he discussed the prospects of the sixteen major league clubs in the pennant races, Farrell called the turn in the National League and he picked the one-two positions in the American League. In a Red Letter story, released for April 16. Farrell predicted that the j National League clubs would finish as follows: New York, Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, St. Louis, Chicago, Brooklyn, Boston 1 and Philadelphia. With the exception of the Cubs, who finished fourth, and the Cards, who finished fifth, Farrell picked the teams for the position in which they ' finished. Discussing the teams separately, in the same April 16 story, Farrell called the turn on the Cubs, however, by saying: "St. Louis is put in the first division merely because the Cards finishbed there last season and because Branch Rickey’s club is less of an experiment than the Cubs. The Cards look doubtful and the Cubs dangerous, and it would be no great surprise if Bill Killifer should get his Cubs in fourth place.” In the American League, Farrell predicted, in a story, released for April 17. that the teams would finish ; as follows: New York, Detroit. Chicago, Philadelphia, Cleveland. Washington and Boston. They finished: New York, Detroit. Cleveland, Washington, St. Louis, Philadelphia, Chicago and Boston. In commenting upon Washington. Farrell said that Donie Bush would land Washington much higher if Clarke Griffith let him alone to run the team and that the Browns might drop to sixth place if they didn’t have Sisler for at least a half a season, i L — o Football Season Has Reached Halfway Mark (By Henry L. Farrell) (U. P. Staff Correspondent) New York, Oct. 27. —Nothing but circus adjectives caw be used to her aid the approach of the weekly football attractions as the season draws to its close. "Bigger and better than ever, filling and thrilling,” can be used aptly as descriptives for each succeeding program. Again today, the card which will be offered for fans all over the country will be the best of the season. week’s was just as much the best before this week's and next week's will be another best. Three big inter-sectional games furnish the brightest spots on a very fine schedule that will be played off today. Little Centre College, for several years one of the finest attractions in the country, will make its annual invasion of the east by appearing against Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. Earlier in the season, the wise birds in the east, remarked: “Well, this is Centre's last big whirl in the east. The Colonels are through.” On the contrary, the evidence points now that Centre not only is not I through, but that Centre very likely' will beat Penn and retain its former, rating in the east. Georgia Tech, once the leading standard bearer of the south and still one of the most illustrious representatives, also journeys across the border to meet the great Notre Dame team on one of the few occasions when the Notre Dame students have a chance to see their "Mick” idols in action In a big game. This game should be one of th" best in the season and Tech has assumed a big obligation. Detroit University, which has risen high in the football world in recent years, also invades the east with a game against Washington and Jefferson. Those two teams have be come established rivals, and as both are high-class teams they should provide one of the real battles of the day. j Perhaps the most important game of the day, because of its effect or. the eastern championship fight, will be staged in New York between the powerful West Virginia eleven and the always good Penn State team. | West Virginia was one of the out-

standing teams of 1922 and the Mountaineers have another fine eleven this year. Penn State always has a smart, capable team. MONROE NEWS Monroe is making preparations for a big time on next Wednesday night, Hallowe'en. This annual event is trowing larger and better each year, and Is conducted on the same plan. There have been no depredations or damage ot property reported in the past few years and it appeared that everyone taking part had a good time. It is said that a program is being irranged for the occasion and an exclient time is predicted by those having the same in charge.

Prohibition Has Increased Efficiency In All Labor Basing his conclusions on his experience in more than forty industries over a sixteen-year period. William R. Basset, industrial engineer, says that prohibition has greatly increased the efficiency of labor, both skilled and un skilled. "Before prohibition a slump in production was expected every Monday, caused by Sunday's celebration. It was well known that more workmen
