One Woman’s Immortality [Won By Love’s Lavisness

The Distinctive Characteristic of Her Sex, Displayed by Mary of Bethany, Fills the M orld VV ith Fragrance—The Money-mad Starveling at the Feast.

By WILLIAM T. ELLIS It is almost uncanny the way this Book, called the Bible sheds a new light on the latest problems of the time. Nowadays we have the woman question perplexing many, in such a day as this the Sunday Schools have allotted, for the study of millions, a story which reveals I vividly the greatest gift and essential power of woman. In shining distinctness it is pointed out that the chief qualification of woman is her spiritual intuition. She is endowed with the ability to perceive the real values of life. Her capacity and loyalty i" J?ye are but variations of her ability to penetrate to the core of all things involving spiritual values. In this sense of relative worth, which transcends all arithmetic, for it is the divine mathematics of love, woman is dowered above man. Fragrance That Fills the World This story is one of the sweetest in the repertory of the common I people. The scene is laid at a large family dinner in the town of Beth- | any, a suburb of Jerusalem, where I Jesus and his disciples were guests The event of the occasion, which alone made the dinner noteworthy, ■ was the action of Mary of Bethany, sister of Lazarus, who broke ■ an alabaster vessel of pure nard —a superlative perfume, worth a ' working man’s wages for a year—- | upon the feet and head of the Master, who had restored her ' brother to life, and who had been : teacher and friend to her family. This was the very extravagance 1 of devotion. The guests gasped at I the royal offering which filled with fragiance the house where they sat. The anointing was a consummate token of lavish devotion -better understood in the perfume- ' loving Orient than in our Western i land. Yet the fragrance of that oft | ering has for nineteen hundred ’ years been sweetening this old i earth of ours. Judas Objects The thrifty, “practical ’ and unI sentimental guests were scandal--1 ized by such extravagance. They I were displeased that the Guest of | Honor should countenance such waste, and their disapproval of Mary became instantly clear to both her eyes and her ears. Chief among these prudent and ■ protesting ones was that keeper of the money bags, Judas Iscariat, ' who thought always in terms of [lucre, and who straightway, with appraising eye, began to estimate 'the possible uses of the money i represented by Cue gift. Outwardly ' he talked of giving it to the poor; I really he wanted it where his avi aricious fingers coi.M clutch it. Poor Mary was shocked, embarI rassed and hurt at the reception which her act was accorded by the other guests. A sensitive spiritual personality, she qualified before this hostile criticism. Her one thought had been of her Lord, bhe was of those who do not weigh and calculate consequences. To her it was clear that her Master was worthy of her best; and that the highest use of any possession ot hers was to employ it in the service of love. She knew instantly and wondered why the truth was not plain to everybody — that when great loyalties call, nothing else matters. A Gentleman to the Rescue True Gentleman that he ever was, Jesus came promptly to the rescue of Mary, bewildered by the carping criticisms of these small souled disciples. Only for an n • slant was she permitted to suffer the embarassment of rebuke, thci she became covered with the embarassment of eulogy. Jesus not only received hei offering with gratitude - and nobody in this world will ever know what ‘a" comfort it was Jhe " ' and harried Nazarene to feel that i somebody really u nderst °° d and i really eared - but He also. pub Hcly defended it as the highest (“ie ot »».<■>■ All "X 1 love are forever indebted to Ma y !

mortal fame to the deed of Mary. He declared further that her wisdom was greater than that of all [his drilled disciples and of all the [ doctors of the law. Her intuition [ had outrun their reason. She saw ! what was hid from them, that Jes- ' us was about to die. Her sensitive i heart had caught the true importI ance of his repeated words to his I uncomprehending disciples. This [ was her way of administering com- ■ fort and expressing loyalty. The Time for Love's Offerings Later on, in due time, Mary would bear spices to the tomb of her crnlc.ifled Lord. Now, however while He was living and while His heart was heavy with the burden of the world's woe and of the reI lentless persecution of his enemies I and while He was shut apart by a 1 great loneliness, Mary would make her timely offering lo refresh His weary spirit. No counsel is commoner than this one that we should bear flowers to the living rather than gifts to the dead. Margaret Preston has put it into verse:

“Had I but heard One breath of applause, one cheering word— One cry ot ‘Courage!’ amid the strife, So weighted for me with death or life — How would it have nerved my soul to strain Thro’ the whirl of the coming surge again. “What use for the rope, if it be not flung Till the swimmers grasp to the rock has clung? What worth is eulogy’s blandest breath When whispered in ears that are hushed in death? No! no! if you have but a word of cheer, Speak it while I am alive to hear.” Her sense of spiritual values made Mary understand that love lives on lavish offerings. The rose has one value in the florists shop; but ft has a far greater value when it rests in the hands of the woman to whom it speaks of love and loyalty. In the eyes of Judas this alabaster vessel of pure nard was worth three hundred pence; streaming over the person of the Anointed One. it had a worth beyond all appraisal; it had come to its highest use. There is a hard utilitarian spirit which, in mistaken thrift, leaves life barren of the gracious gifts of love. The Orient, with its immemorial customs of gift-giving, is wiser than we. Surely no student of this beautiful story will miss the meaning of the fact that Jesus promised immortality of fame only to this one extravagance of loving devotion. Christ merits the best; Christ honors the best; Christ rewards the best.

Several hundred, however, saw O’Connell’s arrival. “Kill the bum,” one man yelled. "Run that red back to Russia,” shouted another. One man got close enough to slap O’Connell. Later O’Connell said that Casey and Police Capt. John Sinnott, who were holding him, got two of the blows intended for him. O’Connell and Casey gave contradictory versions of what happened at the police station. At Newark. O'Connell said: "Patrolmen handled me brutally. Chief Harry Walsh asked why 1. a congressman from Montana, should come here. I replied that 1 had the right of free speech here, as in any state of the Union. Chief Walsh made surly, sarcastic statements, saying that police should have let their sympathizers boat him up. "They took me into a large room, put on all the arclights and circled round me. $t was evidently a grill room. “I asked Casey if he were going to book me. 1 said I wanted to go back to Pershing Field and speak. He said there was a mob outside the police station. I asked if he would let me speak to the mob. Ho said I couldn’t speak at Pershing Field or any other place in Jersey City. “Walsh said that the Jews had to be put. in their place. Casey asked me where I was going if I were released. I said I intended to go to Newark. Casey ordered Walsh, two other uniformed and two plain-clothesmen to escort me to the Journal square tube station. As we started through the door I heard Casey say ‘don’t let him say anything to the press.' I was then put into the car and taken to the tube station, ordered to buy my own ticket, escorted down to the platform and surrounded until the train arrived. There were 25 people on the platform apparently friendly to me because they said ■Attaboy Jerry,’ and when they tried to get on the same train Walsh ordered them off.” O’Connell said that Hague was ‘a disgrace to the city and state." Casey's version was: “He was white as a sheet and trembling like a leaf when we got him to the station. He told me ‘I want to thank you for saving my life, I thought I had some friends here but when I arrived at the

However, as soon as he leaves here | he wastes no time in making a [ statement that is not true.” Later in the night, after the band had played the national anthem and “Home Sweet Home." and the. crowd has dispersed, Samuel Macri, assistant slate regional director of the C. 1.

Investigation of the crash of a United Airlines sleeper plane near Cleveland, in which seven passengers and the crew of three were killed, was started after witnesses told of seeing the plane in flames in the air shortly before the crash in a wooded ravine near Cleveland. The huge 21-passenger Mainliner, near the end of its trip from New York to Cleveland, struck a hilltop, lost its right wing and went crashing through trees for 200 feet. The pilot was James A. (Monty) Brandon, 43, veteran and one of the country's best transport flyers. The stewardess was Miss Mildred Macek, 24, of Milwaukee, who had been in the service since last August Many residents of Seven Hills and other nearby suburbs said the plane was on fire before it struck the ground.
