‘The One Thing, Thou LackestV

Only Single Difference; but Nearer HIM in Church of Forgotten Souls. BY ARCH STEINEL THERE’S a church in Indianapolis where you never hear of ‘‘hell-fire and brimstone;” where the pastor never walks out bn an emotional plank and tips poor sinners off into eternity; where the congregation has been adjudged by , God—a kind God —and await an end if there is such a thing. Its pastor—the Rev. J. M. Griffin, a Quaker of Plainfield —receives not a dime from his parishioners. He never baptizes, never marries his flock, never asks that the collection box be passed. It is the Church of Forgotten Souls—the Central State hospital’s chapel exercises each Sunday in Cornelius Mayer hall. a IT is Sunday. Church bells toll somewhere in Indianapolis. No bells at the Church of Forgotten Souls. A squirrel slithers up a tree as an outsider trespasses on the chapel grounds. A pigeon cote, on the roof of the buildings with the barred windows, jabbers a morning mass. Doors of two buildings open. Men file out of this one, singly, women out of that one. The squirrel drops out of the tree. He scampers, unafraid, in the path of the veiled ones. # # tt “ \ ND I, if I be lifted up from the Tjl earth, will draw all men unto me,” John 12-32, is my text for this morning, the Rev. Mr. Griffin tells his congregation. A choir sings “Holy! Holy! Holy!” Six hundred lives look at you, ask to be drawn out of their selves. Sunlight walks in the window of the chapel, casting a hope ray on this futile face, on that vapid stare. It’s momentary, for these are—the—- “ Holy! Holy! Holy!” sings the choir. tt v tt " A PERSON can never be up unA less he’s been down,” avers the pastor. A thought germ strikes a familiar chord. The restless head of the man on the front row—he’s been going to the Church of Forgotten Souls for fifty years—raises. With a half-whimsical smile he nods at the pastor’s phrase and murmurs the conventional cleric “Amen.” , The Rev. Mr. Griffin tells of Jesus and “his manna like honey.” Queer the way the Bible phrased things—in allegories. “Manna like honey,” and here—why—here life’s all an allegory. “Manna” —it can mean “money” to one, “love” to another, “hope’ to the little woman over there in the corner with her head covt’-ed up to her chin. It is hope to her. She has peeked out from behind her shawl. Manna! God-manna touching the Forgotten Souls. tt tt AN unshaved one is looking at us. He’s crucifying us. “What did you pry for—we don’t want you. Get out! Get out—before you’re one of us. We don’t want you. You—you—don’t know the way.” No! No business here. Just a* Peeping Tom in life’s boudoir. A church chapel, the boudoir of life, and on week days they use it for dances and movie shows. Slipping sure. The unshaved one is right. The Rev. Mr. Griffin begins the Lord’s Prayer; “Our Father who art in Heaven—hal—” “Hallowed be thy name—” repeats the unshaved one and halting, warns us with his eyes. The aged woman behind the shawl answer his warning with a slow smile. It says:” “Stay—you understand—understand us—you know there’s only one thing that makes us different from you—we are nearer Him.” tt tt tt NEXT Sunday’s text will be ‘The One Thing Thou Lackesf concluded Mr. Griffin. The woman peeked from behind her shawl. She nodded us an “I told you so.” And she seemed to say “you needn’t come, for I told you your lack.” We won’t.

KING BATTLES FOR LIFE; USE OXYGENJW Monarch Rallies a Little After Night Crisis; Heart Weakens. QUEEN STAYS AWAKE Keeps Courage as Four Physicians Fight to Save Sovereign. BY KEITH JONES United Press Staff Correspondent LONDON, Dec. 3.—The King of England lay gravely ill today. His heart weakened under the strain of his lung infection and oxygen was administered to bolster his strength. The queen bravely faced anxious nours during the night with her daughter, Princess Mary, devotedly at her side. The Prince of Wales, heir to the throne, raced home from Africa on the fastest cruiser in the British navy. Four of the most expert medical men in Britain waited on the king, staying with him most of the night. Crowd Is Relieved At 11 a. m. an attendant hurried across the courtyard of Buckingham palace towards the gate, bearing an official bulletin. The news he bore was encouraging, and the formality that surrounds the throne was broken. He could not wait to post his news and as he neared the gates he called to the waiting throng: “There is a slight improvement in the king’s condition.” A mighty sigh escaped from the packed hundreds at the gates. “Thank God, thank God,” several cried. , The scene was impressive. The customary decorum observed at the palace gates was absent and the tall, helmeted police could not keep the people in line. Instead of posting the bulletin, attendants held it high in the air, so that all could see. Queen Keeps Courage Insiae the palace the tension was somewhat relaxed after a night of strain. Her majesty had not gone to bed, but waited in an ante-room while the doctors worked over the king. Occasionally she was permitted to visit her husband, who remained cheerful and greeted her with a smile. She retained a cheerful face, despite the strain, as she rejoined her daughter and the duchess of York, wife of her second son, who stayed until after midnight to comfort her. Those at the palace said the king rallied remarkably since the critical hours of midnight and that the queen was overjoyed at the improved tone of the doctor’s announcement.

Ezra Meeker

Ezra Meeker, Last of Great Oregon Trail Heroes, Passes. BY RICHARD C. BALDWIN. United Press Stslt Correspondent SEATTLE, Wash., Dec. 3.—Ezra Meeker, last of the west’s great pioneers, is dead. The man known to the world as the personification of the type of immigrant who braved the rigors of the old Oregon trail died at 4:05 a. m. today. Age coupled with stomach il ness proved too much for the vitality of the 97-year-old westerner. It was a long trail that Ezra Meeker followed. He was born on Dec. 29, 1930, near Huntville, Butler county, Ohio. When not yet 7, his family moved to Covington, Ind., the boy Ezra walking every step of the way behind his father’s wagon. Lived on Banks of Wabash On the banks of the Wabash he learned how to drive four yoke of oxen to a drag plow Dater, following the family fortunes near Indianapolis, he worked at odd jobs and at the end of three years found himself possessed of $37. Then Meeker met Eliza Jane Sumner and in 1851 they were married. They moved to lowa and they started west in the spring of 1852. At the Missouri river they became a part of a great immigrant train numbering 1,600 wagons and including some forty thousand persons. Accident, disease and cholera claimed many. The death list was estimated at nearly five thousand before the journey was done. On Oct. 1, 1852, the Meekers arrived at the village of Portland, Ore., where they spent the. winter. In January, 1858, they built their first cabin where the city of Kalama now stands. April erme and with it word of anew country that was to be settled and the Meekers, still dissatisfied, started their journey northward. They finally arrived at a settlement that now is the city of Seattle. Meeker made friends with the Indians and remained at his ranch house, only eighteen miles distant from the scene of the White river massacre, tending his cattle in safety during the Indian outbreak of 1855-56. Marks Completed Trail He built his last home at Puyallup, Wash., and in 1906. at the age of 76, fitted out a prarie schooner and retraced his steps over the old Oregon trail. He traveled to Washington, visited President Roosevelt and urged the government to build a concrete road along the route he had followed in his youth. Later he marked the completed road with monuments as a tribute to those whose nameless graves marked their journey’s end. Recently he again went over the Oregcsrr trail—this time in the latest conveyance known, the airplane. He is survived by three daughters, Mrs. Carrie Osborn, Seattle; Mrs. Ella Templeton, Seattle, and’ Mrs. Roderick McDonald, Penticon, B. C., and a son, Marion Meeker of Cajon, Cal. U. S.

INDIANAPOLIS, MONDAY, DEC. 3, 1928

TREND POINTS TO WATSON AS SENATE CHIEF Hoosier Will Hold Reins as Majority Leader, Is Belief. CONGRESS IS OPENED Short Session Convenes for Brief First Day Formalities. <?,y Times Special WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.—The short session of the Seventieth congress met at noon today with prospects strong that Senator James E. Watson of Indiana may become Senate majority leader, intrusted with the task of carrying out the policies of President-Elect Hoover. G. O. P. senators were to caucus today. An announcement over the weekend by Senator Moses of New Hampshire, one of the original Senate Hooverites, that he would support Watson for the position seemed to clinch Watson’s hold on the place. Moses himself'had been mentioned for the honor. His announcement seemed to indicate that those friends of Hoover who might be said to be representing him here while he is 8,000 miles away, would keep hands off the Senate struggle, despite Watson’s candidacy against Hoover prior to the Republican convention, and despite the fact that the two men differ on many important questions. Wood to Lead House Hoover’s friends are said to believe Watson will sink his own personal views and act in harmony with the wishes of the Presidentelect. Senator Jones. Washington, Watson's only rival for the job, is a receptive candidate, but not an active one. Senator Robinson of Indiana was not present for the opening of the Senate. He is in Indianapolis and it is uncertain when he will arrive here, it was said at his office. On the house side, the opening found Representative Will R. Wood of Indiana, functioning as the acting chairman of the powerful housl appropriation committee. When Chairman Martin B. Madden died last spring, Wood was second in line to succeed him. Representative Anthony of Kansas being! first in line. Anthony was absent on account of ill health, but desired the honor of the chairmanship and the house leaders gave it Jo him. Wood assuming active direction. Anthony was not re-elected and Wood will become chairman in name as well as in fact when the new congress meets next year. Opening Is Brief Representative Updyke of Indianapolis and Representative Gardner of the third district will start today serving their last three months in office, both wall go out on March 4, defeated at the last election. Garrett, Democratic floor leader, announced to the house today that Representative John C. Box of Texas has been selected minority whip in the house Final session of congress opened quietly, the senate holding a fifteen minute session and the house sitting for an hour going through the motions of convening. Prayers were offered, the roil was called, a few new members were sworn. resolutions were adopted giving notice that the senate and the house were in session and then adjournment was taken until noon Tuesday when legislative business will be brought up. Boulder Dam Pending The roll calls showed 374 out of 435 house members present and 81 of 96 senators, the absentees being ill or away on important business. The Johnson Boulder Dam bill was the official question before the senate, but no one mentioned it, and discussions will not begin for several days when the usual opening formalities are out of the way. The house had no official business, but it will get one of the government appropiration bills within a day or two.

FIGHT FOR LIFE ON MOUNTAIN Five Students Battle Storm: One Dies. By I ailed Pn ss HANOVER. N. H., Dec. 3.—How five Dartmouth college students, while on. a mountain-climbing expedition, fought a forty-four-hour battle for their own lives and that of a helpless companion of the snow-blanketed slopes of Mount Washington, New England's loftiest peak, was told when they reached here Sunday night. The sixth member of the party, Herbert J. Young of St. Louis, Mo., a freshman, died from exhaustion while his friends were trying to carry him dowij the mountain side to safety. Two of the survivors, Samuel Allen of Akron, 0., and R. P. Williams of Chattanooga, Tenn., today were confined to the college infirmary with frozen feet. The other members of the expedition, E. H. Eichlr of Dix, 111.; E. M. Larrabee of Williamsport, Pa., and R. D. Fairchild of Rutland, Vt., appeared little the worse for their experience. Friday, when they had climbed to within a mile cf the cabin at the Lake cf the Clouds, nearly five thousand feet above sea * level, Yeung complained of feeling weak. Then the students decided to abandon their plan to visit the cabin and began the perilous descent. Forty-four hours later they reached safety, but Young died about a mile from the base station.

RIDING WITH DEATH Mail Flier Describes Air Perils

Every day. evfery night death rides In the airmail lanes, playing hide and seek among the clouds with the daring pilots who whisk your letter through the skies l or a ftve-cent postage stamp. Here is the first of five stories in which Major Wesley L. Smith, superintendent of the New York-to-Chtcaeo division of the transcontinental airmail servlet, tells of the danger faced by the flyers. In the airmail service, himself, since 1919. Major Smith has flown a half million miles, or a distance of 20 times around the earth. By SUA Service DEATH rides the air lanes where the air mail wings its way. His fingers clutch from the fog. the storms, the lightning, the ice clouds. His score is forty-nine of the finest pilots America has trained in this new science of riding the skies. But the times he has clutched at empty air are legion, for the daring youths who fly the skies have learned through grim experience to outwit their foe and outguess his moods. Battling the fogs, the storms and the ice has become their business. Squeezing their planes between clouds and mountain tops, riding high, or roaring up valleys between the hills, are all part of the day’s work. Danger rides with them. Gambling with death is the spice which seasons ti-e monotony of the long rides alone through the skies, under blazing sui s, through the blanket-like fogs or riding high above the beacon lights which pick out the course at night.

THE story of their brushes with death and the high degree of courage with which they battle their old time foe is almost an epic. The story of Major Wesley L. Smith, one of the original airmail fliers and now superintendent of the eastern division of National Air Transport Company, is typical of them all. He is in charge of airmail operations on the New York-Chicago division of the transcontinental airmail route. His headquarters are at Cleveland. Smith is a war-trained pilot, a veteran of 5,000 hours in the air, during which he has flown the equivalent of twenty times the distance around the world. For eight years he flew the airmail, first on thg original New York-Washington route and then on the “hell stretch” over the Pennsylvania mountain leg of the transcontinental route, the worst stretch of flying country in the United States. Still flies it, in fact, if the emergency arises and he is needed. a a HE has crashed his plane on mountain tops, fought througn the ice clouds to the clear air above where the stars kept him company; fought fire more than a mile high and brought his ship down safely—and lives to tell the story. Smith’s first flight with the mail might have been his last in the days

Yes, there’s fifty-eight of us here, and not a darn good dogfight in the bunch of us. We’re too weak from hunger to want a fight.

Say—do you know I haven’t seen a flea for so long I’d hardly know what they look like. Last Sunday I went out walking with the Mister of the house and there was a pot-hound scratching for dear file by the neighborhood drug store. It made me downright lonesome. I tried to jerk away from my master—but couldn’t make it,” and Bimbo sighed. “Bow-wow,” went the ' anvil chorus.

of the original New York-Washing-ton airmail route. He had left the Belmont Park, N. Y., terminal headed for Washington, with bad weather ahead, planning to follow the Long Island shore, hop the bay to the Jersey coast and then strike inland to Washington. When he had been on his way thirty minutes, he looked below hoping to sight bay. There was nothing below but fog. Then housetops and church spires began to flash by, too close below for comfort or safety . He was oil his course, flying over the housetops of Brooklyij. “npHERE was nothing to do but JL plunge on, dodging the high buildings if I could,” Smith says. “Luck was with me. I found myself over the river and headed down the bay. “My goal was the statue of Liberty. If I would find that, I could point my way down the bay and to the Jersey coast.” “Suddenly, I saw the long upraised hand of Liberty ahead,” Smith says. “I swung to the north, got my bearings and swept past toward the open sea and tffe Jersey coast, waving a farewell to the goddess as I passed. I was on my course again and the rest of the journey passed without incident.” Next: Eight thousand feet up in a flaming plane.

My mistress chalked my white nose, to pretty it up a bit, but a good hamburger steak under my belt would make me feel fitter. They say starvation peps up show dogs—might some—not me.

Traffic Officer Madden, stationed at Kentucky avenue and Maryland street, joined in. The two men ran east on Maryland street and separated at the alley between Capitol avenue and Illinois street. The man captured ran south followed by Madden. He threw tlip gun he was carrying over the wall into the yard of St.'John’s academy and surrendered when Madden threatened to shoot. Diner chased the other bandit a taller man, north, but was forced to stop when the man turned and fired one shot at him. Has Prison Record The captured bandit. Smith, was picked up by a police squad on a vagrancy charge early in November, when officers obtained a tip that he was a member of the Egan Rats gang of St. Louis, police said. Unable to obtain any evidence to prove any other charge against him, he was slated Nov. 15 on a charge of attempting to beat a hotel bill. That charge was continued indefinitely in municipal court Nov. 30. After sending Smith’s Bertillofll record over the country, detectives learned that he was sentenced at Cleveland in 1922 to the federal prison at Atlanta for four years on a narcotic charge. In 1926 he was fined SSOO on a narcotic charge at Cleveland. KENTUCKY RIGHT TO SUE INDIANA UPHELD Validity of Bridge Contract at Stake; High Court Acts.
