THE TRINITY OF FREEDOM The reading public doubtless quiesces in the unanimous action of the, ac- | eAmerican Newspaper Publishers Associa-' tion, at New York, pledging increased vigilance in behalf of freedom of the press. The resolution adopted, introduced by Col. ; Robert R. McCormick of the Chicago Tri- | bune, reads as follows: “Whereas, the freedom of the press } is one of the most important principles of | a free government, and “Whereas, the unrestricted right to! collect and disseminate information is es- , sential to national recovery, international | trade and peace between nations. i “Resolved, that the American News- ! paper Publishers Association thank its of- ficers and the members of the code com- | mittee for their foresight in recognizing , the importance of the freedom of the press | and their courage in maintaining it in a | national emergency; for their tact and | judgment in co-ordinating the interests of all daily newspapers; for bringing together | | for the first time in the history of Amer- ican ideals of liberty which was above | {| politics and_ political beliefs and for | negotiating a code, which as approved by | the president, maintains unimpaired this | principle of a free government, and be it | further ! “Resolved, that the members of this | association be increasingly vigilant in their | efforts to protect this principle from im- | pairment from any source.” ‘Candor, however, suggests that this fine declaration is incomplete. liberty, as conceived by the leaders of the | American Revolution and established in the Constitution, rests not on one founda- | tion, but three. Our guarantees of free- | dom, set forth in the Bill of Rights and il- lustrated in genuine American tradition | and practice, are the triple principles of | free press, free assembly and free speech. | There may be more danger to the second and third of these than to the first. | The press is powerful. Individuals an | groups are less able to. pretect their own i constitutional rights against aggression. | The press is therefore under special obliga- tion, as spokesman for this.Trinityyof Rree- | dom, to champion the right of individuals ; and groups to meet and speak their minds ; as the press speaks its mind. WAR ON TUBERCULOSIS Although many more battles remain to be fought, it is encouraging to note the remarkable progress which has been made | in the war against tuberculosis during the j ast.30 years, in which the death rate has | been cut in half. In 1904 there wére only 9,107 beds | available for tubereulosis patients in hos- pitals and sanitoria in the United States, as compared with 73,695 beds at present. | Much of this advance is due to the! work of the National Tuberculosis As-! {| sociation during more than a quarter cen- tury of its existence. By emphasizing the | need for rest, fresh air, sanitary living and | working ¢onditions, as well as the need for | suitable institutions for the treatment of | cases in their various stages, this associa- | tion has made a wonderful contribution to | the public welfare. i But there are still 500,000° cases of | tuberculosis in the United States.

CHAPTER THE SEVENTH. / Part One. S$ Our Saviour sat teaching the people and answering their questions, a certain Lawyer stood up, and said er what shall 1 do, that 1 may live again in-happi- after 1 am dead?” Jesus said to him “The first of all the commandments is, The Lord our God is one Lord: and thou shalt love the Lord Thy God with all Thy heart, and with all Thy Soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy Strength. And the second is like unto it. Thou shalt leve thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other com- maniment greater than these.” Then the Lawyer said “But who is my neighbour? Tell t 1 may know.” Jesus answered in this Parable: — e s once a traveller,” he said, “journeying em to Jericho, who fell among Thieves; and »ed him of his clothes, and wounded him, and leaving him half dead upon the road. A Priest, x to pass that way, while the poor man lay there, n, but took no notice, and passed by, on the other Another man, a Levite, came that way, and also im; but he only looked at him for a moment, and ed by, also. But a certain Samaritan who came along that road, no sooner saw him than he had r on on him, and dressed his wounds with oil and wine, and set him on the beast he rode himself, and took him to an Inn, and next morning took out of his pocket Two pence and gave them to the Landlord, saying ‘take care of him and whatever you may spend beyond this, in doing so, I will repay you when I come here again.” —— Now which of these three men,” said our Saviour to the Lawyer, “do you think should be called the neighbour of him who fell among the Thieves?”* The Lawyer said, “The man who shewed compassion on him.” “True,” re- piied our Saviour, “Go thou and do likewise! Be compas- sionate to all men. For all men are four neighbours and brothers.” * * * AND he told them this Parable, of which the meaning is, that we are never to be proud, or think ourselves very good, before God, but are always to be humble. He said, - “When you are invited to a Feast or Wedding, do not sit down in the best place, lest some more honored man should come, and claim that seat. But sit down in the lowest place, and a better will be offered you if you deserve it. For whosoever exalteth himself shall ‘be abased, and who- soever humbleth himself shall be exalted.” He also’ told then this Parable.—‘There was a certain man who prepared a great supper, and invited many peo- ple, and sent his Servant reund. to-tlrem_ when supper was ready to tell them they were waited for® Upon this, they made excuses. One said he had bought a piece of ground and must go to look at it. Another that ne had bought five yoke of Oxen, and must go to try them. - Another, that he was newly married, and could not come. When the Master of the house heard this, he was angry, and told the servant to go into the streets, and into the high roads, and among the hedges, and invite the poor, the lame, the maimed, and the blind to supper instead.” The meaning of Our Saviour in telling them this Para- ble, was, that those who are too busy. with their own profits and pleasures, to think of God and of doing good, will not find such favor with him as the sick and miserable. ” * * it happened that our Saviour, being in the City of Jeri- cho, saw, looking down upon him over the heads of the crowd, from a tree into which he had climbed for that purpose, a man named Zacchaeus, who was regarded as a common kind of man, and a sinner, but to whom Jesus Christ called out, as He passed along, that He would come and eat with him in his house that day. Those proud men. the Pharisees and Scribes, hearing this, muttered among themselves, and said “he eats with Sinners.” In ‘answer to them, Jesus related this Parable, which is usually called The Parable of the Prodigal Son. “There was once a man,” he told them, “who had two sons: and the younger of them said one day, ‘Father, give me my share of your riches now, and let me do with it what I ple; -" The father granting his request, he trav- elled away with his money, into a distant country, and soon spent it in riotous living. When he had spent all, there came a time, through all that country, of great public distress and famine, when there was no bread, and when the corn, and the grass, and all the things that grow in the ground were all dried up and blighted. The Prodigal Son fell into such distress and hunger, that he hired himself out as a servant to feed even the poor coarse husks that the swine were fed with, but his Master gave him none. In.this distress, he said to himself ‘How many of my father’s servants have bread enough, and to spare, while I-perish with hunger! 1 will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father! I have sinned against Heaven and before thee, and am no more worthy to be called Thy Son!” And.so he travelled back ‘again, in gréat pain and sor- row ‘and diffiewity, to his “fiither’s house, ~ he was yet’a great way off, his‘ fatter saw bim, and knew him in the midst of all his rags and misery, and ran towards him, and wept, and fell upon his’ neck, and -kissed him. And he told his servants to clothe this poor repentant Son in the best robes, and to make a great feast to celebrate his return. Which. was done; and they began to be merry. * * * BUT the eldest Son, who had been inthe field and knew nothing of his brother’s return, coming to the house and hearing the music and Dancing, called to one of the servants, and asked him what it meant. To this the ser- vant made answer that his brother had come home, and that his father was joyful because of his return. At this, the elder brother was angry, and would not go into the eho so the’ father, hearing of it, came out to persuade im. ‘Father’, said the elder brother, ‘you do not treat me justly, to show so much joy for my younger brother’s re- turn, For. these many years I have remained with you constantly, and have been true to you, yet you have never made a feast for me. But when my younger brother re- turns, who has been prodigal, and riotous, and spent his money in many bad ways, you are full of delight, and the whole house mekes merry!”—“Son” returned the father, “You have always been with me, and all 1 have is yours. But we thought your brother dead, and he is alive. He was lost, and he is found; and it is natural and right that we should be merry for his unexpected return to his old home.” By this, our Saviour meant to teach, that those who have done wrong and forgotten God, are always welcome to him and will always receive his mercy, if they will only return to Him in sorrow for the sin of which they have been guilty. -* (Continued tomorrow.) 100 Years Ago Dickens was raising his voice in protest ; against many of the conditions which con- front us in this coun- try today.
