‘‘One for the money,
Two for the show,
Three to make ready,
And four to go.”
“This is the biography of man,” ; aid the Rev. (’. K. Flynn, pastor of the First Methodist Church in Bloom-
surrendeledj 'ngfun addressing the Men’s Broth-
erhood of the Greencastle church at their regular monthly dinner Monday •veiling. The Rev. Flynn, who is a graduate oT DePauw, said that for Host of us the real center of the universe is not a point in space the disance to which is measured in light • ears, hut is the first person singular pronoun. "I”, he said, “is the big rest word in the English language.” “One for the money." With most >f us money is the first eonsideraion. Money kills idealism; it is for noney, says Flynn, that young men ’orget their dreams, and many young .vornen sell themselves in marriage. ‘Three things should be kept in the each of the poor man. One of these s food, one is good books, and the t't is a little spot on which to live." Yfter these three fundamental want ire supplied a man can never really •ecome richer. Additional dollars are idditional cares, and may make the
nun poorer.
“Money is the root of all evil.” •rink, social evil, immoral movies and Irania, according to the Rev. Flynn re not the result of inherited evil mpulses. They are rather the reult- of man’s greed for money. “Man ound out he could make money by lerverting the natural instincts of hia
VI lows.”
“Two for the show.’’ The second iroblem is the problem of wise spendng. All too many of us spend onl urplus to make a show. "We all fee) orry for the man with the fat bank iceount who should be carrying a od, and for the social butterfly who hould Be using an iron.” So many if us spend our lives trying to keep •p with our neighbors that Flynn a> Our leal economic problem is based ■pon the cost of the luxuries not upm the cost < f the necessities of life.” “Three to make ready.” There omes a time when we begin to redize that our time here is short at lest. "The longest time is short vhen it has pas.-ed." We all have ‘o take life’s examinations whether e are ready or not. “It is futile to ry to get ready for an ‘exam’ the light before. Most college student '•ealize this, hut many of us are tryig it on God all the time.” “Four to go.” We all have to go. ‘There is just one kind of person who lies well, that is the person who halved well. John Wesley said that if he knew that the day was his last re would do just as he had planned; ie was ready to go. He had lived veil. The Rev. Flynn said, "When ou came into the world you lay and wept while your friends stood around /ou and smiled. It is your duty i o o live that when you die you may lie mil smile while your friends stand
iround you and weep."
There were 75 men at the dinner which was served by section X of the Women's League under the direction of Mrs. Lee Reeves. After he dinner Professor Hildebrand, ire-blent of the brotherhood conductid the regular business meeting. The March meeting will be held on the second Monday evening in March meeting will be held on the second Bishop Rlake will speak at the April meeting which will be held on the

ROME, Feb. 12. (UP)—While a great multitude which filled the vast square in front of St. Peter’s pah. him homage, Pope Pius XI appeared on a balcony today and gave his bless-
ing tu the whole world.
It was a crowning act of the Pope’s day of triumph, in which he celebrated the seventh anniversary of his coronation and the consummation ol peace between the Vatican and ltal> after 58 years of estrangement. The blessing "urbis et orbis” (ol the city and the world! came at the conclusion of a poiitifirial bigh mass in the cathedral at which a crowi. that filled every available space paid tribute to the Pope and the Roman
settlement.
The blessing was significant of the Pope's changed status and the restoration of his temporal sovereignty. It was a custom abandoned by the Popet in J870, when they retired into seclusion in the Vatican. It was revivei only twice, by the present Pope, oner at his election and again at his coronation. Then he returned to the precedent of his predecessors and fol seven years the blessing had not been
bestowed.
It was estimated that the blessing was bestowed in the presence of 100,• 000 persons. The Pope appeared on the balcony accompanied by a crossbeam - , the colleges of cardinals in their scarlet robes, and the members of the papal court. It was a pageanl of medieval splendor. The crowd was one of the greatest ever gathered in the square. All turn ed toward the mighty facade of tin church, which could hold no more. All during the morning, all traffic in the city seemed converging toward
•St. Peter’s.
