By the Associated Press. JEFFERSONVILLE, 8 —Solicitors for “n ving squires, known as “runners” in ‘this Gretna Green of southern Indiana, may have a difficult time in rounding up couples for wedlock if M. E. Clegg, chief of police here, has his way. Chief Clegg issued warning to all offending run- ners that they would be punished. Chief Clegg said the runners, who drum up business for the magistrates, make nuisances of themselves at ferry terminals here leading from Kentucky and at raflroad statlons. The runn even hop on running boards of automobiles entering Jef- fersonville if they notice a boy and a girl in them, he said, and approach them about marriage. Solicitors are said to be pald a commission from the profits of every couple they bring before a squire to be married. Competition among magistrates is so keen that one squire said he dis- liked to leave his office because an- other squire’s runner would get his busines Many Jeffersonville run- ners are declared to operate on the Louisville side of the river. Police headquarters here also report complaint has been made about magis- terial signs over important business offices here in the downtown section when in reality no magistrate has his office there.

Preac | Bosto “Angel” is a Greek word, slightly | changed for our convenience in pro tion. It means, in Greek, and Iy meant in English, simply a messenger. Thus, an angel ca d the news of Greek victories and de- feats, if any, and an angel delivers a telegram to your f home and at- tempts to collect a dime on a pre- paid message. Primitive peoples always have per- sonified the forces and feelings and which they not fully 4 comprehend. A sudden impulse to plunge into the river and take a bath came to a tribesman upon awal ening. The poor fellow knew nothing of mental processes. He had no ps choanalist to whom he could go for advice as to whether the impulse to bathe in the river at dawn was bad, good or symbolic. He said, “It's an order from God! A messenger from Heaven gave me the order. I saw the angel leaving my hut after he had or- dered me to dive into the water.” The more spiritual of the primitives had to describe their angels to their more dull-witted ‘and literal brethren. ‘There grew up, over a period of many, centuries, a conception of the of God :h has b such great art as Michel- Leonardo da Vinci and Andrea THe angels drawn by the ssic painters were vs male, for in the days of the flowering of Chris- tian art the female was not in high enough standing to take angelic form. In later times, when women have been more or less relievad of the stigma of having led man to his fall with an apple, efforts have been made to depict female angels, but seldom by well in- formed eccelesiastical persons. A f: mous to-do was made when a great sculptor made guardian angels alto- gether maje when decorating the cam- qus of an American college for women. There are plenty of people who can tell you exactly how tall an angel is, how much he weighs, how his wings are fastened to his shoulder blades and what kind of clothing he wears when visiting mortals. 1 know that the an- gels painted by Andrea del Sarto, “the perfect painter,” were heavy, fleshly and quite awkward in appearance. The wings were long and unwieldy, and wholly incapable of producing flight, according to our modern knowl- edge of the laws of aero dynamics. I do not know exactly what an angel is like, but I feel certain that he is not anything like the angelic fig- ures that have been pictured and sculptured through all the centurles of faith. There is a story in the Old Tes- tament of Jacob's wrestling for hours on end with an angel. Unfortunatel acob did not leave any very exa description of his wrestling partner of that now famous night, but moderns are inclined to suspeqt that perhaps the good man had eater some very in- digestible food before retiring, and e perienced what later generations have called a nightmare.

The other view of the world | at fundamentally the universe is a spiritual order peopled by living beings that grade up from the lowest | moeba, through the ascending spiral in the brute and bird creation, to man, and then from man, through grades of angels and other celestial Leings, up to tod, who is the Su- preme Spirit. Now, in our modern world, because of our’ scientific methods of thought, we have tended more and more toward this materialistic and mechanical con- eption of the universe, and have lost sight, tn part, of the great facts and forces in the spiritual world. The sclentific method requires that all acts, whether understood or not, shall e taken into consideration as a basi: | for induction before any final con- | ons are reached; but, because | ience de: zely with material | and forces, and has to do almost | with secondary causes, tend to make us one. sided in our thinking and our lives. | ven a man as practical as Mark | Twain declared his firm belief that Joan of Ark did see her angels, and he well said that her after life can be explained only upon the basis it she was guided from the unseen world. | The Bible s explicit in its teaching about angels. 1t makes clear that there are grades or orders among the angels, and some of them are even called by name, as, for exam- ple, the Archangels Michael and Ga- briel It is also cl an DR.

UNIVERSITY HEAD DEFIES GOVERNOR Promises Academic Freedom in Defending Professor in Wisconsin Dispute. By the Associated Press. MADISON, Wis, January 8.—A opinfons, however widely they may differ from the political be- liefs of the State's chief executive, cannot be made the subject of disci- pline at the University of Wisconsin, President Glenn Frank declaved Thursday. J. J. Blaine, United State Senator-elect, recently attacked as misrepresentation’’ the tax catechism issued by Prof. Ford H. MacGregor of the univel . President Frank said the governor's remarks carried the implication that Prof. MacGregor had two cour: open—either retraction or resignation from the university. “As long as 1 am president of the university,” Prof. Frank said, “com plete and unqualified academic free- dom will not only be accorded to mem- bers of faculties, but will be vigorou ly defended regardless of the pressure, the power or the prestige that may accompany any challenge of this ir alienble right of scholarship.” Prof. MacGregor, who is secretary of the League of Wisconsin Munici- palities, prepared the tax catechism, which severely criticized the taxation policy of the Blaine administration. | It was circulated throughout the State and resulted in the complaint by Gov. Blaine before his retirement, January 1. NICOLAS PRESIDES AT RELIGIOUS RITES BUCHAREST, January $.-—Prince Nicolas, who only recently returned from a tour of the United States with his mother, Queen Marie, presided Thursday at the ceremony of the ble: ing of the aters. The decision to have the prince represent the dynasty in this Greek Catholic rite was reached only a few hours before it took place. Princess Ileana also was present. The plans for this high religious and civil ceremony had called for Miron Christea, patriarch of Rumania, to preside, and there was much discus sion over the fact that for the first time in years no member of the royal family was to be present. The patri- arch is one of the three members of the regency, named when Prince Carol renounced his rights to the throne to rule over the country should King Fer- dinand die. B While there is no political signifi- cance in the fact that Nicolas repre- sented the King at the New Year ceremony and again yesterday, it commented on as apparently confirm- ing that no change will be made in the regency, as was rumored when the newspapers stated that Queen Marie was the choice of hte council of ministers to preside over yester- day’s ceremony.

Golden Text — Ye shall be perfec enly Father thew v.48, therefore ur Heav- is perfect.—N from the was | Our lesson has been drawn that masterpiece of homiletics, Sermon on the Mount, which Christ's inaugural address to the men called to be His followers. The source’| of the sermon’s superiority is found in the personality of the preacher, whose life, lessons and labor revealed and demonstrated that His religion was an advance upon the teachings of His nation. He extended the re- quirements of duty by the compre- hensiveness of His ethical teachings. His clear and definite teachings re veal the thoroughness and exactness of His standards of livin The social problems pressing for so- lution in the days of the Lord were imilar to those that the politictan, iat and the preacher face to-. The Master did not make any rints that would show in detail His program as a sgcial engineer, or furnish definite detdil directions for the construction of a sbcial order free from all social problems. He gave to His followers as a standartl of their Christian life the fundamental prin- ciple that He illustrated in His daily life and teachings. He reduced all law | to one—"Thou shalt love’—and left for His disciples to work out under the leadership of the Holy Spirit the detail application of that law to their home, business, public life and every sis'in the affairs of men. sus did not come social re- former. He sought to regenerate men, not reform them. He worked from within outward, molding life by chang- ing the character and the conduct of men, through the application of His law of love. The working out of the application of His standard of living Christians _has transformed the haracter of His followers, changed the currents of civilization and made | Christianity the dominant force in the | world. In His “golden rule” we have | the key that will solve every personal | and social problem. Loving Your’ Enemies. | ivery active Christian is certain fo | have his enemies. Chrigt for us to love our enemies. This is an ad- vance upon the Old Testament tea®h- ings that called for the feeding of | one’s enemib: ing the proper | . The Expositor's Greek Testament calls our attention to the fact that “the Greek word for love in our text is carefully chosen. It is| not demanded that we should love our enemies with a natural and spon- taneous affection (philein), but with a | supernatural Christian love that | come by grace (agapan). This com mandment is not the rule of nature nor in a. certain sense of law, but it is_in accord with God's practice, for | “He commandeth His love toward us | in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us.” Although commandment has been called an impossible one to ful-| fill, Jesus illustrated the practi plication of it to one's parable of There both | howing in unselfish Love for our > in our love for love for our neighbor that love reveal service for the need enemies has its sour God, which foster: brothers. Fraternity without God is doomed to failure. The history of “rance proved that a brotherhood of man without God is impossible. It is difficult to analyze love. Paul in his poem on love has divided it into its elements. Jesus divided love Do Our perfonal e revenge, are to be suppressed, se the one who hates\,another wrongs his own soul. The vengeance of love calls for doing 2ood to our enemies and blessing them that curse us. Whenever any one calls down the curses of God upon us, then we are to ask Him to bless them, Wo check the curse, as did our Lord being crucified, by pra a blessing upon_those who | evil. Love calls for us to.do | more, for it requires of us that we pray for our enemies. The difficulty of our loving our enemies disappears in the atm e of prayer. Stephen | demonstrated in his prayer for his murderers how a Christian through | his love for God can above the | ndards of men to those given His by the Master in His com- by bless and v for =ood, ing for wish u e Practical Working. While love is active in the exercise its. sentiment, it calls for us to be ve in our attitude toward suf- fering wrong. The law gives us the ght of self-defens Christ sets up the plea that we are not to take the vengeance in our hands, because it is contrary to the law of love. If a man smites us on one cl we are “to offer the oth: ‘Love suffers long,"” but the Master's own action teaches it in applying this law it does ot call for us to suffer under all cir- cumstances all the onal injuries and indignities that our enemies may desire to inflict upon us. He did not tamely submit when the renes tried to thrust Him over the brow of the hill. He did not turn the other cheek when He was struck unon the face in the hizh priest’s hall, for He rebuked the offender. Love does not seek its own but it will prompt us to act in the spirit of the Master. Richardson, the missionary hero of the Congo, is spending the closing days of his life, since he was retired, in the Nation’s Capital. He tells hows! he found that the literal compliance with the injunction concerning giving opened up *he hearts of the pagan men of the Congo to the fact that he was their friend. This made possible the marvelous success that came to his missionary work. He gave the natives everything that they asked of him until he was literally destitute. ‘When he had sacrificed his all, the chiefs commanded the natives to re- | stroyed. { will upon to glve so as to encourage ldle- ness, thriftlessness and introduce such a spirit of dependence that a man's independence would be de- Jesus evidently was con- demning the hard and covetous at- titude of the Pharisees, who failed to aid the poor by their oppressive spirit. Love calls for us to be generou: to the point of absolute sacrifice, if we are brought face to face with a real need. The Golden Rule. Our application of the law of love should be governed by the ‘“golden rule,” “As ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them.” In these few words Christ has condensed all of His teachings with reference to our relations with one another. Others have caught gleams and glimpses of this law of love in their “silver rules.” Confucus in his writings has put it in a negative form: “Do not do to others what you would not wish done to vourseif.” This low standard is what the worldly minded man-could prac- tice, but a Christian is called upon to do more by the Master's positive com- mand. The anarchist demands his rights. The Soclalist calls for the per- formance of duty. The Christian must carry out the golden rule of the law of love by doing to others what he wishes them to do for him. The late Wu Ting Fang claimed that the secret of the Anglo-Saxon advancement in the affairs of the world was due to their being governed by this rule, which is considered to be the quintessence of statesmanship. It contains the solvent of all social problems. Carried out in the spirit of mercy, judgment and giving to men and nations it would introduce a new age of brotherhood and fraternity among men. It would bring an end of the warlike spirit and the race be- tween nations for military supremacy. It would end the rule of gold through the practice of God's law of love. The platform of the Sermon On the Mount has been made ineffective by universal praise. Men have considered them to be so high that they have not tried to practice them in the af- fairs of the community, common- wealth and civilization. When Tolstoi recognized that they were practicable and could be applied to the social con- ditions of today it changed his whole life by its revelation. When all men commence to try to practice the teach- ings of Christ by adopting as their standard of Hving the. principles set forth in this lesson social progress will be assured, and civilization will be saved from the perils that threaten to destroy it. By this standard God will judge our record. We therefore ought with the aid of the Holy Spirit to aim to shape our conduct, career and character by the Master’s high standard of love and prove its prac- ticability in our daily lives until men will know that we have been with Jesus and learned of Him the law of love. a ‘IN NEWNESS OF LIFE,” DR.
