DR. WICKS TALKS ON IMPORTANT SUBJECTJO ALL Unitarian Bulletin Gives High Lights of Tu!!< by Pastor. Some of the interesting subject matter used by Dr. Frank S. C. Wicks of All Souls Unitarian Church in an address before sailing for Europe at Star Island, is contaained in the current issue of the Indianapolis Unitarian Bulletin. The Bulletin gives credit of the remarks of Dr. Wicks while speaking of “What Jesus Means to Me,” to the Boston Transcript. *v.The Bulletin states: Much interest developed in the treatment of the subject, “What Jesus Means to Me,” by Dr. Frank S. C. Wicks of Indianapolis. General agreement prevails among Unitarians as to the character of Jesus’ teaching, he said. He is presented as the ideal of human excellence. Stripping off the myth and legend which are wrapped about him, little is left which actually is known about Jesus, but when the flesh and blood man stands revealed in such biographical statements as are trustworthy, he takes his place among the Hebrew prophets, only greater and grander than any of the others. Even if it were established that Jesus never lived, Dr. Wicks said, yet the teachings ascribed to him would embody an ideal of what it is possible for man to be. The Sermon on the Mount sums up His teachings and He gives fresh

ihe Soul of a Railroad A railroad may be said to be composed of a body and a soul. The first is the railway property, consJsting of the engines, cars, trachs, tools, machinery and buildings—things of little value except as they are wisely used in the production of transportation. The second is the moving spirit,/consisting of the employes, who animate the railroad and who give to it character and ideals. A great deal depends upon the ability and integrity of railway employes. The service they produce through the utilization of railway property is one of the mainstays'of our civilization. Without their ministration our entire fabric oLproduction, manufacture and distribution would collapse. Daily the railway employes of tljis country must handle safely, efficiently and economically railway property representing an investment of approximately $13,000 for each employe, and daily they must safeguard and expedite the movement of more than t\yo million passengers and shipments worth in the neighborhood of two billion dollars. Personal responsibility of a highly exacting sort is the lot of every railway employe. Team work and willingness to serve are essential—they should be bred in the bone. With so much dependent upon them, is it any wonder that railway workers are inclined to regard their railway employment as a mark of distinction? This attitude toward their calling is true not only of employes engaged in the more highly specialized branches of railway work but also of those whose occupations differ little, if at all, from work in other fields. 0 / _ / Every railroad is measured by Hhe character of its employes, as reflected in the service the railroad provides. Upon all the employes to some extent, but mo-re especially upon those who come in direct contact with the public, depends the reputation of the railroad. It is no exaggeration to say that the employes stand for the railroad in the public mind. The Illinois Central System regards itself as fortunate in the character of its employes. Many of them represent the second and third generations in, this railroad’s service. Their loyalty, courtesy and cooperation make possible the high standing which tfiis railroad enjoys in public esteem—a standing which is the finest possible tribute to the family spirit of the organization. ✓ I % / The Illinois Central System was never better fortified than today in both plant . and personnel. Body and soul, it is ready to meet all the demands made upon it. Constructive criticism and„* suggestions are invited. 0 L. A. DOWNS, President, Illinois Central System, CHICAGO, August 1, 1927.

emphasis to the Golden Rule. These thoughts had been uttered before, but on Jesus’ lips they were given inspiring force, for behind them one feels a personality. Dr. Wicks advised a study of Jesus’ life by laying the three gospels, Matthew. Mark and Luke, side by side, and using such information as appears in all three, such as his baptism; the taking up of his work of doini good and proclaiming a kingdom of heaven on earth, not as a remote thing. Certain things, like the stories of the Prodigal Son and the Good Samaritan, he would include, because they are so in harmony with the spirit of Jesus, but such a biography would omit the birth and resurrection stories, and many of the miracles. Dr. Wicks explained the orthodox view of Christ, its need of Jesus as the second person in the Trinity and the theory of the Atonement. “Many deny to Unitarians the right to call themselves Christian,” Dr. Wicks said. “If Christianity is what Jesus summed up religion to be, as love to God and love to man, I hope I am entitled to the name. We accept this summing up not alone because of belief, but because it commends itself to the reason. I believe in the divinity of Jesus, not in the orthodox sense that the Infinite exhausted himself in a single person, but because he is the highest human expression of the divine life. This is the nearest to an expression of a dogma that the Unitarian makes.”

KING’S ‘DOODLE 1 MADE ADMIRAL British Fleet Now Ruled by Sir Madden. Bu United Press . . . . , . LONDON, Aug. I.—Admiral of the Fleet, Sir Charles Edward Madden, well known as a "double” of King George, officially assumed charge of the entire British Fleet today. Sir Charles succeeds Admiral of the Fleet, Lord Beatty, who retired as First Sea Lord of the Admiralty. The resemblance to the King of the new “Skipper”—as he is known to naval men—is even more convincing than can be seen from photographs. It has long been the source of navy jokes. The new First Sea Lord was born in 1862 and joined the Navy in 1875. Throughout his career he has al-

ways been closely associated with both Lord'Jellicoe and Lord Beatty and has followed well on each’s heels up through the ranks of the Navy. At the outbreak of the war Madden was Chief of Staff to Lord Jellicoe, who was then commander-in-chief of the fleet, and he later served with Beatty at Jutland, the latter highly commending him in despatches following the battle. From 1919 to 1922 Madden served as commander-in-chief of the Atlantic Fleet. Deathbed Wedding By Tima Special SOUTH BEND. Ind., Aug. I.

REDUCE OIL OUTPUT Curtailment Plan Made for Seminole District. Bu United Frets TULSA, Okla., Aug. I.—The Greater Seminole oil area at the close of last week was facing curtailment of its record-breaking production as a result of action of oil operators of the area who have agreed to join together to prevent overproduction. The operators agreed that production in the area should not exceed 450,000 barrels daily, against the more than 500,000 barrels the area has been producing. The plan would go into effect when the affected companies have completed gauging, possibly within the next ten days. Under the plan formulated by representatives of the most of the companies operating in the Seminole district, all the companies would agree to cut down their daily production, each one being limited on a prorated basis. There were forty-two companies represented at

the meeting and twenty-seven of these voted for the move. The step marks another move in the battle of the companies to combat the exuberance of the oil field. For several days in a row the Seminole field nfarked up new records of production and the huge quantity of crude oil threatened a drop in price, which would ruin some companies.
