While nudity is our natural state, it would take two thousand years for 1s to get used to it, President Roosevelt says if there is a revolution it, will be a peaceful one. Why must there be a revolution in, the first place, why not the orderly process, though’ not so rapid, of evolution?

Like President Reosevelt, who made more than $1,000,000 from his “On Our Her Excellency, the Ton. Ruth} placed the following paragraph CRIME AND PUNISHMENT _ A thoughtful contribution to the con- | troversy over capital punishment is fur-! nished by Harry Elmer Barnes, sociology professor of Smith and Amherst colleges, who avers that the taking of human life as a punishment for crime is a relie of bar- barism. Tracing the origin of the death penalty, Prof. Barnes declares that it arose through an effort to placate the pagan gods. Later, death was inflicted through motives of revenge. More recently, capi- tal punishment hgs been defended on the ground that it has a deterrent effect upon other potential murders. All these theories are dismissed by Prof. Barnes as equally abhorrent. Taking what may be called the advanced view of the causes underlying human behavior, he says: “The human animal has his conduct absolutely determined by the combined in- fluences of heredity and social surround- ings. There is not the slightest iota of choice allowed to any individual from birth to the grave. Conduct can be altered only by altering the organism or by the intro- duction of new or different social in- fluences and forms of stimulation.” Without specifically recommending a detailed plan for dealing with the prob- lem, Prof. Barnes declares that if crime is to be eliminated there must be measures | adopted to prevent:the birth of, defective persons, so far as. possible, When ‘defec- tives are born in spite of*resttictions ini- posed, an improvement of the social en- { vironment and special education are recom- mended. He apparently favors the pain- less extermination of hopeless types of humanity who menace their fellowmen. | Whatever we may think of Prof. Barnes’ views as a whole, we must agree with one of his conclusions, which is that | punishment for crime should be deter- mined by permanent boards of experts, in- stead of being left to juries composed for the most part of ignorant and irresponsible citizens. QUESTIONS POWER PLAN Although several cities in the Ten- nessee Valley have signed up for power under the terms prescribed by the Ten- nessee Valley Authority, some of them are not very enthusiastic over their contract, according to the Sheffield Standard, pub- lished in the Muscle Shoals area. In a weil-considered editorial on the subject, in which the objections to the Authority’s plan are set forth, the Stand- ard says: Well-informed business men doubt the practicability of the plans adopted by the Tennessee Valley Authority for the re- sale of hydro-electrical energy generated at Wilson Dam. It is a known fact that city officials of the three cities in the Muscle Shoals district are not at all jubi- lant over the contracts they have made with the TVA.” One of the principal objections to the TVA contract is that it establishes the rates at which cities must resell the power bought from the government. These re- sale rates are such as to make it impossible for the cities to break even-on their power operations, according” to gompetent en- gineers. Another objection: is .that | the TVA rates are such as to ‘Virtually pre- elude the possibility of industrial detelop- ment in the area it is to serve, The Tennessee Valley experiment will be watched with interest by the country at large, and many thoughtful citizens freely predict that under the present set-up it mify prove sadly disappointing. } HOW TO INCREASE CIRCULATION ‘ | (The Bee Hive) The editor in one of our neighboring towns quite unintentionally hit) upon = a novel scheme to increase circulation.

The Hitherto Unpublished Manuscript Kept Secret 85 Years The Calling of the Disciples and the First Miracles! of Jesus Are Recounted Simply in New Ver- sion of Christ's Young Manhood. which appeared in the origii manuscript, intended by ry y Jor the eyes of his children and not for the printer, have been Fotowed | tn the present pubdlication. CHAPTER THE THIRD. HAT there might be some good men to go about with him, teaching the people, Jesus Christ chose Twelve | poor men to be his companions. These Twelve are called ‘The apostles or Disciples, and he chose them from among Poor Men in order that the Poor might know always after that; in all years to come—that Heaven was made for them as well as for the rich, and that God makes no dif. ference between those who wear good clothes and those who go barefoot and in rags. The most miserable, the most ugly, deformed, wretched creatures that live, wil be bright Angels in Heaven if they are good here on earth Never forget this, when you are grown up. Never be proua or unkind, my dears, to any poor man, woman or child If they are bad, think, that they would have been better if they had had kind friends, and good homes, and had been better taught. So, always try, to make them better by kind persuading words: and always try to teach them and relieve them if you can. And when people speak i!) of the Poor and Miserable, think how Jesus Christ went among them and taught them, and thought them worthy of His care. And always pity them yourselves, and think as well of them as you can. ! . _ Editor's HE names of the Twelve apostles were, Simon Peter Andrew, James (the son of Zebedee, John, Philip, Bar- tholomew, Thomas, Mathew, James the son of Alphaeus. Labbaeus Simon, and Judas Iscariot. This man afterwards betrayed Jesus Christ, \as you will hear bye and bye. The first four of these, were poor fishermen. who were sitting in their boats by the seaside, mending their nets. | when Christ passed by. He stopped, and went into Simon | Peter’s boat, and asked him if he-had caught many fish Peter said No; though they had worked ail night with their nets, they had caught nothing. Christ said, “Let down the net again.” They did so; and it was immediately so full of fish, that it required the strength of many men (who came and helped them) to lift it out of the water. and even then it was very hard to do. This was another , of the miracles of Jesus Christ. Jesus then said “Come with me.” And they followed him directly. And from that time the twelve disciples or’ | apostles were always with him. it As great crowds of people followed him, and wished to be taught, he went up into a Mountain and there preached to them, and gave them, from his own lips, the words of that Prayer, beginning “Our Father which art in Heaven,” that you say every night. It is called The Lord’s Prayer, because it was first said by Jesus Christ, and because he commanded his disciples to pray in those words. = s s HEN he was come down from the Mountain, there came to him a man with a dreadful disease called the leprosy. It was common in those times, and those \ 3 were ill with it were called lepers. This Leper fell at the feet of Jesus Christ, and said, “Lord! If thsu wilt, thou cans’t make me well!” Jesus, always full of com stretched out his hand, and said “I will; Be thou well And his disease went away, immediately, and he was cured. Being followed, wherever he went, by great crowds of |e Jesus went with his disciples, into a house to rest. hile he was sitting inside, some men brought upon a bed, a man who was very ill of what is called the Palsy, so that , he trembled all over from head to foot, and couid neither stand, nor move. and windows, and they not being able to get near Jesus Christ, these men climbed up to the roof of the house, which was a low one; and through the tiling at the top, let down the bed, with the sick man upon it, into the room | were Jesus sat. When he saw him, Jesus, full of pity, | said “arise; Take up thy bed, and go to thine own home!” And the man rose up and went away quite well; blessing him, and thanking God. There was a Centurion too, or officer over the soldiers, who came to him, and said, “Lord! My servant lies at home in my house, very ill.” Jesus Christ made answer, “I will come and cure him.” But the Centurion said! ~ KEY WEST IN DAYS GONE BY j assistance to Carl Aubuchon, Heppenings a igre ts as Yeare <cjing the remainder of the pre jay Ae Taken From = { e3 { ferred ‘stock of the hotel and the ; _ ThaGpes OF The Citizen roffer was “graciously accepted. em With this assistance, Mr. Aubu- chon believes that the few shares yet to be sold will be disposed of in a few days.

I am not worthy that Thou should’st come to my house, Say the word only, ahd 1 know he will be cured.” Then Jesus Christ, giad that the Centurion believed in him so truly, said, “Be it so.” And the servant became well, from that moment. . BUT of all ihe people who came to him, none were se full of grief and distress, as one man who was a ‘Ruler or «Magistrate over many people, and he wrung his hands and cried, and said “Oh Lord, my daughter—my beautiful, good, innocent little girl, is dead. Oh come to her, come to her, and lay thy blessed hand upon her, and I know she | will revive and come to life again, and make me and her Mother happy. Oh Lord we love her so, we love her so! | and she is dead!” Jesus Christ went out with him, and so did his disci- ples and went to his house, where the friends and neigh- bours were crying in the room where the poor dead little girl lay, and where there was soft music playing; as there used to be, in those days, when people died. Jesus Christ, looking on her sorrowfully, said—to comfort her poor par- ents—"She is not dead. She is asleep.” Then he com- manded the room to be cleared of the people that were in it, and going to the dead child, took her by the hand, and she rose up quite well, as if she had only been asleep. Oh what a sight it must have been to see her parents clasp her in their arms, and kiss her, and thank God, and Jesus Christ his son, for such great Mercy! But he was always merciful and tender. And because he did such good, and taught people how to love God and how to hope to go to Heaven after death, he was called Our Saviour. (Continued tomorrow.)
