Among the citations which comprise the lesson-sermon is the following from the Bible: “And, behold, there was a woman which had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed together, and could in no wise lift up herself. And when Jesus saw her, He called her to Him, and said unto her, Woman, thou are loosed from thine infirmity. And Ke laid His hands on her; and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God” (Luke 13: 11-13). The lesson-sermon also includes the follov. ing passages from the Christian .Science textbook, “Science and Ke !th with Key to the Scriptures,” b • Mary Baker Eddy: “Our Master cast out devils (evils) and healed the sick. It. should be said of His followers also, that they cast fear and n’l evil out of themselves and others end heal the sick. God will heal the sick through man, whenever man is governed by God. Truth casts out error now as surely as it did nineteen centuries ago. All of Truth is not understood; hence i:s her”mg power is not fully demonstrated.” YOUNG PEOPLE* * TO GIVE PLAY The Young Peoples’ League of the St. Paul’s Evangelical church at the corner of East Thirteenth and Ashland avenue, “ill present Walter Ben Karo' p’ v, "An Oil Fashioned V. ther,” on v y nd Thursday nigh*", Jan 2? and 30 at 8 p. m.

Weekly Sunday School Lesson
The International Uniform Sunday School Lesson for Jan. 26. A Christian According to Christ. Matt. 5:3-9, 17-20. 43-48. BY* WM. E. GILROY, D. D., Editor of The Congregatlonalist TO be a Christian according to Christ is a very different thing from being a Christian according to conventional or world standards. It means more than belonging to a church organization or than being classed as a Christian in the census. To be a Christian according to Christ is to have the virtues and characteristics that were emphasized in Jesus of Nazareth manifested in some degree in one’s life, and it is the degree in which these virtues and characteristics are manifested that constitutes the extent to which one may be called a Christian. The principles of the Christian life here set forth in the beatitudes. and in the accompanying teaching of the Sermon on the Mount, are rightly defined in the general title of this lesson as “Standards of the Kingdom." They repre-

sent the things without which the Kingdom of God can not exist or be a reality in the souls of men. At the same time they represent something very different from the standards of other kingdoms. Rule From Within The principle of earthly and worldly kingdoms has always been external rule or authority. The principle of the Kingdom of God is rule from within. Its standards are standards of life and character. Its foundations are in the thoughts, motives, and attitudes* that determine outward conduct. It should not be overlooked that these standards have to do with happiness or blessedness in life. False philosophies of narrow* materialism in our own age and in other ages have confused pleasure and happiness with goodness. They have tended to say “Be happy and you will be good,” making the standard of the welfare of life in character and conduct a sort of contentment or pleasurable reaction. How different, however, is the whole approach of Jesus and his setting forth of the true basis of moral and spiritual values! His principle of life is not the avoidance of pain. He enjoins his followers to weep with them that weep, and he pronounces blessing for the mourners. He encourages his followers to believe that even in an atmosphere of hate and persecution they can preserve the integrity of their own souls and find blessedness. But it ought to be noted that Jesus does lay profound stress upon blessedness. Life is a matter of soul satisfaction. If the seeming pursuit of goodness makes life narrow and dissatisfied and unhappy, It would appear that there is something wrong with the goal. Joy and peace enter somewhere into the conception of the Christian life, and the reality of these things ought to be demonstrated in the fact that Christians like Paul, who bore heavy burdens of loss, persecution and suffering, are the most intense witnesses to the underlying joy and peace that the Christian life can give despite one’s outward invironment and situation. This blessedness of life is something that is not to be despised. The message of it that Jesus brought to the world is w'orthy of particular emphasis at the present time when in this sophisticated age so much of real unhappiness and dissatisfaction with life is found even in youth with its apparent jazziness and distraction in pleasure.

much of the exaggerated wildness of youth the evidence of a selfdelusion, a grasping at baubles because of discouragement over the lack of reality. Only the other day a friend told me of conversing with a senior in one of the most widely known medical schools of America This man spoke of the utter gloom of the outlook on life that possessed practically everybody in his class. A number of fellow students, he said, had contemplated suicide, and in general there was the feeling that life is not worth living. With what striking contrast does one turn to these words of Jesus from the sermon on the Mount and to his representation of the blessedness of life because of an inner reality of faith and because of some nant in this teaching of the Master conception of its real values. Domiis the rule of the acceptance of life rather than the effort to get away from it. It is not in shirking but in accepting its responsibilities that life reveals its abundance and its blessing. This is brought out much more beautifully in a French rendering of the first verse in our lesson. Poverty of spirit does not seem a very commendable quality, except perhaps as one contrasts what might be regarded as the poverty of spirit of a truly saintly and unselfish man with the agrressiveness and worldly ambition of some typical Babbitt. But the French rendering gives an added touch of richness and picturesqueness. In place of words “poor in spirit” is the French word “debonair;” that is, blessed are the people who meet life with what might almost be called a gracious swagger, a sort of chivalrous courage that welcomes life as something to be lived to the full. That is the Christian according to Christ. WID 0 wTe X ONE RATED OF MURDER, TO REST By United Press CHICAGO, Jan. 25.—Mrs. Genevieve O’Brien, freed of charges she murdered her husband, probably will take her husband’s $6,100 insurance money and go to Florida for a rest. Her attorneys have received the insurance policies, which had been used as evidence in the case of Howard Dorr, who was sentenced to life imprisonment for the murder of Mrs O’Brien’s husband, William, and said they anticipated no difficulty in collecting the money.
LIMITATIONS ON TRUCKS CAUSE WEIRDJANGLE Enforcement of Statutes Almost Would Be Bar to Traffic. Bv Science Service DETROIT, Jan. 25.—Although boundaries between states are mere imaginary lines and should be no handicap to unrestricted commerce, motor coach and truck owners are finding as many great hindrances to the passage of big vehicles as the network of closely guarded national border lines of Europe. If existing state laws were enforced fully it almost would be impossible for a large motor vehicle to go from one state into another, Pierre Schon of Detroit said before the Society of Automotive Enginees here this afternoon. The state laws which are called serious handicaps to long distance motor transportation are those regulating the height, width and length of vehicles. Tabulations giving the maximum dimensions and weights allowed by law in the forty-eight states and the District of Columbia reveal the interesting fact that only In two adjacent states can be found a similarity in regulations, namely California and Arizona. “In our central states,” he continued, “with highly developed interstate commercial transportation, a motor truck complying with the regulations in Indiana can not enter any of tlje adjacent states due to variations in weight restrictions.” Trucks more than twelve feet In height operating in the eight states where the height limit is fourteen feet six inches would not be allowed in the seventeen states where the limit is twelve feet. Irregularities affecting length and width also were pointed out. Schon did not place the blame for this inconsistency on the legislators. He said: “It merely is a result of lack of interest and co-opera-tion between manufacturers and operators." This dissimilarity among the many motor truck and coach bodies also was said to be costing both manufacturers and operators millions every year. If a policy of standardization were adopted, manufacturers could make fewer types of bodies on a mass production basis and lower the cost of the product, the speaker declared.
RUSH AIDJTO MINER Dogs Take Doctor to Cabin of Stricken Man. Bv United Press ELK CITY, Idaho, Jan. 25.—The frozen wastes of northern Idaho today held a secret the story of the success or failure of a race of men and dogs to save the life of a stricken miner in a lonely cabin at the Copper King mine. No assurance came from the mine that the ten Irish setters had taken Dr. J. P. Weber there in time to stay the progress of blood poisoning that has wracked Fred Burke’s body for days. No communication lines connect the mine and Elk City, eighteen miles apart. The party left here Friday morning and expected to reach Burke’s cabin late Friday night. Ths weather was cloudy and a fresh snow storm may have slowed their progress. The four-year education of a midshipman at the United States naval academy represents an investment of about $20,000.

MOVE TO CURB GRAIN STORES’ PRICE CUTTING Kelly-Capper Bill Guard Against Exploiting of Standard Goods. WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.—Steps to hait the practice of certain chain Mores in undcrse.ling standard, trade-marked articles to attract customers have been taken by the house committee on interstate and foreign commerce. After hearings extending over the past six years, the committee Thursday voted to report out the Kelly-Capper fair trade bill establishing the principle of the right of manufacturers of standard articles to control the retail price of their commodity. Representative Clyde Kelly of Pennsylvania, co-author of the bill, today hailed the action as "another decided step in the long march toward fair business." Kelly began his efforts for the measure in 1915 in co-operation with Justice Louis D. Brandies of the United States court, then a private lawyer in New* York. American participation in the war prevented any consideration of the bill for a number of years, but in 1923, Kelly renewed his efforts to pass the bill. The measure if approved finally by congress will permit manufacturers to refuse to sell their goods to any retailer who cuts prices. “There has been a decided evil in the practice of certain store organizations in using lowered costs of standard articles as bait to attract customers and then pushing sales of their own cheaper and little known articles.”
