PRIEST SPEAKS ON PURPOSE OF LIFE Preparqtion for Egernity Is Goal, Father Baxter Says “The Value of a Life "and the Purpose of Living” was the topic! adopted by Father Baxter, superior at New Haven of the Dominican Order of Missionaries at the first of | a series of Lenten sermons delivered at St. Joseph's church last night. ‘The rush for pleasure, he said, adornment of person and love of money, characteristic of the modern world, is far from the true and dcepest purposes of our lives, he de- ciaved. “If any woman here spent only one-hundredth of the time in prayer that she spends before her mirror,” ke stated, *“she would truly be a saint and if any man in this church would spend oae-hundredth of the time in prayer that he spends scheming evil or money making plans, he too would be a saint.” He said that cultivation of the <oul with the single aim of preserv- ing it for cternity must be the only aim of the passing years here.

Resignation of Winston Church- ill, chancellor of the exchequer, was suggested even as a possible out- growth of the incident. Both Mr. Churchill and Colonel L. 8. Amery, secretary for the dominions, were in an humiliating position, one sug- gestive of rcpudiation by the pre- mier. ie situation arose in the face of a conservative majority of mone than 200 in the commons, An eloquent and vehement plea by Mr. Churchill failed to quell the revolt of “die- hard” conservatives, and party whips hastily summoned the prime minis- ter. Mr. Baldwin appeared personally within a few minutes and asked leave for the government to recon- sider its position, His request was granted—had it not been, or had he not appeared as he did a vote wor' almost certainly have sent the government down in defeat. Compensation Messuro The measure unc-r discussion was one providing for compensation of the so-called Irish loyalists of South Ircland who suffered losses during the disturbapces there. Colonel Amery, as dominions secretary, sub- mitted a proposal for a reduction of a previously recommended appro- priation for this compensation, He said the government already had paid the loyalists about $40,- 000,000, an amount which the gov- ernment had supplemented with about $8,000,000. He urged a re- You CantDyeaDress with Promises! You can't dye a dress— how careful you may be—without no matter real color. That's the idea behind Diamond Dyes.

Note the absence of that new ductl. in further appropriations on the ground of economy. - His proposal immediately came under fire from a number of ocon- servative members, led by Rt. Hon. J. Gretton (Burton), who declared they considered the compensation to the loyalists a “debt of honor.” in- curred when the parliament with- drew protection there. Mr. Churchill entered the debate then, upholding Colonel Amery's proposal. It was understood that the position of the two was taken as the outgrowth of a previously agreed on cabinet standpoint. Churchill A The chancellor of the exchequer spgke eloquently, but his pleas com- pletely failed to quell the conserva- tive rebellion. Members of the re- volting “Tory” lement declared their v intention to te against the govern- ment—an action which, 1t it had come to pass, would have sent the Baldwin cabinet to decisive defeat. ‘The prime minister himse ap- peared then in answer to & sum- mons.
