FRANCE WANTS LIGHTCRUISERS Experts Claim Type of Ship Is Necessary. PARIS, Dec. 7.—Prompted by a growing fear that the new type of light but speedy cruiser developed by Germany is superior in construction to her own modern cruisers, France, it is believed in well-in-formed quarters, is planning to bring the question before the naval conference at London next month. Pierre Appell, technical analyist of the 1930 naval construction program, issued a warning to the French chamber of deputies yesterday that "France must be prepared in 1931 to build one large battleship and study the construction of six to seven thousand ton craft similar to Germany’s lights hips, the Admiral Scheer and the Leipzig, for use in the Mediterranean. French naval experts claim that if the naval conference attempts to limit construction by categories France will object because the light German cruisers are actually more valuable fighting equipment than are battleships. It is Appell’s opinion that France is lagging behind other nations in methods of modern cruiser construction, and that she is not obtaining the best results at the lowest cost.

D„ ■ditor of Th CoafrofatlonaMit THE title of our lesson suggests the Importance of reading In connection with it the story of the Good Samaritan, found in the tenth chapter of Luke. It was the great characteristic of Jesus as a teacher that, while perhaps more than any other he laid the profound stress upon deep principles of action, enunciating love as the only adequate and dominating motive of the good life, he put the emphasis at the same time supremely upon actual conduct, even- bringing this emphasis into the realm of concrete deeds. He has set for the world a great example in the way in which he combined teaching with practice. If one wishes to realize the importance of this, he need only contrast with it what was happening in the environment in which Jesus lived and what has happened in most instances in the world even in realms where the importance of teaching has been emphasized. The devout Jew of the age in which Jesus lived had over 600 categorical rules governing his life, and his religion was very largely a matter of Intricate distinctions and speculations at the very opposite pole both In theory and in practice from th° enunciation of the simple principle of love and the suggestion that this

No matter what your problem may be and what circumstance you may find yourself, Christ is your personal Saviour and is at hand to help you.

principle meant nothing except as it was put into action. Surely It is a lesson that the world of modem educators needs very much to learn. In our own age we see very largely a divorce of education from morality and goodness. The fact that a great college or university exists in a community is no guarantee of the purity and nobility of the community’s life. The fact that a man is an alumnus of a college does not guarantee that he is a useful and profitable member of society. A man may know a great deal and yet be a very mean and selfish individual. He may, in fact, make his knowledge chiefly a means of self-aggrandizement, and the learning that makes him a superman may make him a super-rascal. Jesus was speaking in our lesson to those who did make profession of religion. They thought of themselves as the chosen of God. They were proud of their religious privilege and situation. Jesus challenged this pride. He asked them plainly what their religion meant. What was the use of religion that professed devotion to God, but allowed people to go naked and hungry, unhoused and desolate? In the great figure that he presents of the king coming in judgment, the judgments are pronounced not in relation to what people professed, but in relation to their actual needs. There is, however, a phase of this emphasis of Jesus upon practical conduct which needs, also, to be

grasped very clearly. No one was more subject to the scorn and reprobation of Jesus than those who made their acts of professed charity an occasion of pride and selfsatisfaction. There is a type of man whose professed benevolence is very largely a form of self-gratification and of pride. The good deed in the conception of Jesus is determined not only by its outward quality and aspect, but by the spirit in which it is done. Those whom Jesus commended for their care of the needy revealed the inner quality of their characters in their surprise that the King should have found them worthy. They were conscious of having done nothing more than they ought to have done; in fact, there was in them the appalling sense that they had done so little to meet the great needs of their fellow men. It is only where the true spirit goes with the deed that goodness comes to its full fruition and expression. Most readers will recognize the passage in our lesson as largely in the nature of a figure or parable, but this parabolic form need not lead to less emphasis upon the fact that human destiny is associated with these characters and acts of good or evil. The way of life is the way of service and helpfulness. The way of death is the way of selfishness and pride. We can see how true this is in the life of mankind. It is the deeds of mercy and of unselfishness that conserve and upbuild

society. It is the lives of thoughtfulness and selfishness and disregard of the deeds of one’s fellow men that destroy and break down society; and what is true of society is true, also, of the Individual. We can not see all these destinies always so clearly marked. We see the wicked p-ospertng and "spreading himself like a green bay tree.” but to the eye that looks deeper the destinies are none the less marked. We choose our way In life with goals that lead Inevitably to heaven or to hell, and no matter what the changed form or conception of heaven or hell may be they still represent for all thoughtful men goals and destinies of glory and triumph or of defeat, degradation and despair.

WOMAN SCORES BIG SUCCESS AS CUSTOMSAGENT Brings About Seizure of Liquor, Fines Amounting to $3,050. Bp United Fret* ROUSES POINT, N. Y., Dec. 7. Seizure of 670 bottles of contraband liquors and fines totaling $3,050 are the two months’ record of Miss Geraldine Laundrie, the first woman regularly appointed to a customs depot in the United States. So successful was this Innovation at the local customs house that it is expected additional women will be employed next year at other ponlts along the border during the heavy tourist season. • The bottles seized were found on the persons of women motorists who stopped at this office for regular inspection on their return from Canada. Previous to the appointment of Miss Laundrie to this post in September, personal search of women necessarily was omitted, unless obliging women from the vicinity of the customs house could be pressed into service on suspects. This was done occasionally, but without remuneration.
