HOPE TO FILL JURY BOX TODAY IN MOORE TRIAL Third Venire Is Called in Bribery Case; Ten Are Tentatively Chosen. With a third venire of twenty-five talesmen called for today, attorneys in the bribery trial of City Councilman Boynton J. Moore had hopes of getting a jury, as the third day of the tedious examination opened in Criminal Court. Friday's session moved slowly, as the monotonous work of questioning jurors progressed. It was enlivened only in the late afternoon when R. P. Dawson, a talesman, 4735 Sunset Blvd.. manager of the Remedial Finance Company and former professional baseball player, said he was a plaintiff in a suit brought last fall to prevent payment of Special Assistant Prosecutor Emsley W. Johnson's salary. Dawson later was excused on a peremptory challenge by the State. His seat, the first in the box, was vacant when court opened this morning. Ten Accepted Tentatively The eleven men in the box, ten of whom had been accepted tentatively, were: Homer Day, 425 N. La Salle St.; George R. Tilton, 2630 College Ave.; William Grinwald of Maywood, gardener; Rex T. Armstrong, R. R. C, farmer; Walter Gledhill, 3645 N. Delaware St., manager of the Burroughs Adding Machine Company; E. S. Blessing, 138 N. Illinois St., book store proprietor; Ernest W. Davy, 3914 N. Illinois St., assistant treasurer of the City Trust Company; Arthur Chevrolet, 4327 Central Ave.; John C. Wetnight, R. R. 1, farmer: James H. Barber, Mars Hill, feed store proprietor, and Harry Wernke. R. R. 4. gardener. A .member of the . special venire of twenty-five ordered to report today by Special Judge Paul G. Davis was called at the opening of today’s session to take the seat vacated by Dawson at the close of Friday’s session. Trial Is Delayed Shortly before Dawson’s voluntary statement that he was a plaintiff in the Johnson salary protest suit at the insistence of Walter N? Carey, attorney who brought the suit, the trial was halted forty minutes for lack of prospective jurors. A special venire of twenty-five had been ordered for the afternoon session, but deputy sheriffs were unable to serve the summons fast enough to keep the trial in progress. Moore is charged with soliciting and accepting a SIOO bribe from John J. Collins, then city purchasing agent, to influence his vote in threatened impeachment proceedings in the city council against Mayor John L. Duvall.

Sunday School Lesson

The International I’niform Sunday i School Lesson for IS. Jesus | Teaches Sincerity. Mark 7:1-13. BY ffM. E. GILROY, D. D. Editor of The Congregationalist The topic of this lesson for young j people and adults is given as “Jesus Denounces Formalism.” We prefer | the general title which puts the I teaching in positive rather than in j negative form, “Jesus Teaches SinI cerity.” i If Jesus denounced the formalism of the scribes and Pharisees, we should remember that it was not ! for the, sake of mere denunciation or because he singled out certain people for attack. Rather, it was because he wished to emphasize the fundamental importance of sincerity in religion. In fact, unless w r e are careful to view the lesson in its positive aspect, we are seriously in danger of missing its whole truth for ourselves. It is exceedingly easy to take such a lesson as this and conclude that it had to do only with scribes and Pharisees in the ancient world. But, as a matter of fact, we only get at the real meaning of the lesson when for “scribes” and “Pharisees” we substitute “professing Christians” and “church members." Devout Pharisees These scribes and Pharisees were the officiai representatives of religion in the environment where Jesus spoke. Nor were they all by any means formalists and hypocrites. Asa matter of fact most of the very devout people of Israel were of the sect of the Pharisees. Apparently some of those who were most earnestly awaiting the coming of the Messiah were of this sect, and they were so sincere in their hope that they recognized the Messiah even despite the lowliness of his birth. We should not forget that Nicodemus was a Pharisee, and also, probably, Joseph of Arimathea. What Jesus meant, therefore, in his reference was that it is not enough simply to observe the outward demands and duties of a religious organization. Such observances must, in fact, indicate an inward attitude of mind and heart or the religious life has little reality. Jesus saw some of these scribes j and Pharisees punctilious about j outward observances, things that i were by no mean unimportant or to be despised, but which were relatively much less than other matters of which these outward things were important only as evidences and symbols. The keeping of the outside of the cup and platter clean, for instance, could be important onl yas one thought of the corresponding cleanliness of the inside. That w’ould seem to be a selfevident proposition, and yet one of the deepest dangers of life is obsession with the outside of things and with appearances where there is little concern about the inside of things and the realities. In a formalistic society reputation thus becomes of much more importance than character, and the danger always is that in the very circles of religion, where character and service ought to .count for most, mere observances (a. very apt word signifying the things that are observed) become of more impor-

tance than actions that spring from real faith and interest in religion. Do we go to church, for instance, because, we want to share in the common worship of God, because we want to receive blessing for ourselves and help to impart life to the community and blessing to others, or do we go to church chiefly because our neighbors would criticise us if we did not go? Is our patriotism a thing of the heart, a deep, intense love for our country, or are we more concerned | about what our neighbors think I about our observance of national holidays? One could multiply the illustrations in many ways and in many fields. Outward Observance Undoubtedly it is true that often those whose outward observance of things is most punctilious are most deficient in the spirit of real love and sacrifice in relation to the cause in which they profess most intensely to believe. The intense lip patriotism of many people, for instance, both in the period of the Civil War and in the period of the recent World War. did not prevent their seeking in every way to profit financially from the distressing experiences through which their country was passing. It is always needful that we should challenge the formalism and unreality of all this just as Jesus challenged it in his owm day. It is particularly necessary that we should search our own hearts and examine our own outward course of faction to determine just how real and deep are our own convictions and observances, and especially how effectually the outward things in life typify and express our inmost convictions. If we could bring into the institution of religion today that intense passion for the souls of men that brought Christ into this world and that led him to Calvary, what a power an institution like the Christian church could be! Someone has said that there are inspirational churches and perspirational churches; that it, there are churches that are full of a buzzing activity in which there is always something doing, and yet a great part of the hurry and bustle has little to do with the profound matters of salvation and the upbuilding of the Kingdom of God in individual and social righteousness. What we need to do is not work less or to live less actively, but to get the outward activities properly expressive of the deepest faith and the highest ideals. PRES S JACK SO NT 0 REPLACE COULTER L. G. Bradford Is Mentioned for Conservation Commission. Pressure is being brought to bear on Governor Ed Jackson by his friends to name L. G.

BRITISH NAVAL i HEADS OUSTED London Discredits Story of Band Dispute. AV/ United Press LONDON, March 17.—London today was puzzled over the latest Government sensation—suspension of three naval officers over what, on the surface, appeared to beta trivial incident. Rear Admiral Bernard St. G. Collard. who was in command of the battleship squadron of the Mediterranean fleet; Capt. Kenneth G. B. Dewar, in command of the flagship Royal Oak. and Commander H. M. Daniel were suspended, and according to the official communique it was because of certain disciplinary matters. According to reports from Malta the incident was over whether there should be a jazz band aboard the Royal Oak. But many in London believed there was more behind the difficulties than merely an Incident about a oand. A prominent naval authority said: “It long has been common knowledge in certain circles that conditions about the flagship Royal Oak were impossible and could not continue.” Baby Dies in Mother’s Arms Bp Times Special NEW MT.
