CHRISTIAN VISION OF LIFE TOPIC At the White Temple Sunday morning, Dr. J. Geringer spoke upon the Christian Vision of Life, taking his text from I John 5. "Profe-sor Irwin Edman of Columbia University says that man is 'an accident'. I have seen some men who could be fairly characterized that way, some college professors. But I would not say that Moses was an accident nor I doubt nor Plato. Nor would I call man, humanity an accident. Humanity finds its complement in nature in humanity too fully for such a conclusion. This pessimistic view is part of the mechanistic view of the cosmos is not generally held by science today. Professor Millikan has made that clear. But whatever may be said about some of our latter day academic leaders it is certainly true that the Christian view sees a soul in things, meaning and purpose running throughout the life of man and of nature. We have this view in our text, Man is a divinity. He is the son of God. His life now is a prophecy of what is yet to come. And while the revelation of the future is not given in detail it is clear, according to the apology, that we who live by faith are to be transformed into the likeness of God as seen in Jesus Christ. I have no desire to argue these points but do wish to let this great text speak its message to us. The greatest truths are self-evidenceing. That man is a son of God, God's offspring, is one of the foundation truths of Christianity. Man has a way of thinking meanly of his life and of seeking to live on the lower levels. Christ came to help man to see that he is divine and to help him not to despise his birthright. Nothing could be more heartening than the way in which Jesus Christ speaks of man. "How much more is man worth than a sheep". He saw that man was worth dying for. He saw that man was wounded but that he is a wounded giant. He was filled with compassion as he saw him missing his way. He looked upon no man as hopeless and he never talked CURB SALE OF "GAS" ALCOHOL RENO, Nev. April 1. — Owing to the alarming use of denatured alcohol, known to drinkers as "gas" throughout Nevada and particularly among the Indians, U.S.A., George Springmeyer has requested S.C. Dinsmore, state commissioner of food and druge, to make some suggestions relative to legislation that will curb the sale of the commodity. The only restriction on the sale of denatured alcohol at present is the federal law which requires druggists to attach to each bottle a label warning the purchaser that it contains poison and that internal use may produce blindness. DISORGANIZE TO DODGE ASS'N DEBT SACRAMENTO, April 1. — Disincorporation of the Alfaifa Growers of California, Inc., a state-wide co-operative marketing association, was started here with the filing of a suit in the court of Justice of the Peace Frank J. O'Brien to recover from the members the amount of the outstanding indebtedness and the interest due on notes given by the organization. The action was filed in the name of the Wholesale Credit Ass'n. A total of 1595 members of the association are named as defendants. The total amount of the indebtedness aggregates $122,000. The poet who wrote "All's Right With the World" had never read the front page of a modern newspaper. PLAIN DEALER CLASSIFIED ADS PRODUCE RESULTS says one world as a time. He will not think of death or eternity if he can help it. Still the great souls have always known that man is a stronger and a pilgrim on the earth and sooner or later we have to reckon with eternity. This life is prophetic of that which is to come. Plate could not believe that the universe, God, would let so fine aoul as that of Socrates fall on eternal death. There must be more to his life than the here and Christ came to help man to see that he is divine and to help him not to despise his birthright. Nothing could be more heartening than the way in which Jesus Christ speaks of man. "How much more is man worth than a sheep." He saw that man was worth dying for. He saw that man was wounded but that he is a wounded giant. He was filled with compassion as he saw him missing his way. He looked upon no man as hopeless and he never talked about the monache of the inferior. Like Wesley he saw in the lowliest his opportunity. Wesley was but following in the footsteps of the Master. Jesus knew what was in man. He saw his baseness, his hypocrisy, his cruelty, his nannality and yet he saw covered over the divine image. He brought life and immortality to light. It is true that John is not here speaking of man's natural sonship. He is speaking of those who have come into the Father's house. Just as Jesus tells us again and again how to become children of God. But this consoling rests upon a natural sonship. The Prodigial Son was a son, willful, sinning, suffering, sorrowful, penitent, restored, redeemed. But not a moment of his life but he was a son. That is what gives sin its hideous aspect we fight against God our Father. But if man is given to despising his birthright and if Jesus can help men to live as sons, it is also true that man has a way of trying to ignore the eternal aspect of his life. He tries to make himself at home in this world and he COUGHS—COLDS—"FLU" Watch out for "Flu" and pneumonia now. Check coughs or colds quick. McMullin's Formula always reliable. Have it bandy.

This life is prophetic of that which is to come. Plate could not believe that the universe, God, would let so fine a soul as that of Socrates fall on eternal death. There must be more to his life than the here and now. So the apostles said — "It was not possible for him to be held of death". It is only as we work in the power of an endless life that we get the quality of the eternal life into the now the here. Christianity brought immortality to light and opens the door upon another world. The apostle goes yet farther. He says we shall be like Him. We shall see him and be changed into his likeness. He says. We behold his glory, glory of the only egoiten. John saw much of Jesus and in Jesus. He was ever looking to Him. He saw the splendor and the majesty of his life and yet here he puts the seeing in the future. All the striving here is to get Christ in perspective. We are learning to see. That is the Christian way of life. We behold Him and are changed from character to character until at last we become like Him. This is a true philosophy of spiritual transformation. We become like the things we behold. Beauty enters our soul. The pure make us pure. The mountains give us their majesty and height. The breadth of the sea enters our souls. We are changed by beholding. "We wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall fashion anew the body of our humiliation that it may be conformed to the body of his glory according to the working whereby he is able to subject all things unto himself." His greatness shall become ours. Here we have the full view of life as given by Christ. We are to go on until we become like Him and that is the purpose of God in us.

PRAYER: Eternal Father, pray that we may be as light darkness, perfectly reflecting beauty of thy countenance, us not seek to board thy treasures but let the influence of spirit flow through our lives mighty stream, for Christ's Amen.

LOS ANGELES MAN SLAIN IN CHICAGO CHICAGO, April 1.—Seated bolt upright in a chair facing the door, his head split apparently with an axe, the body of Jack Holmes, 40, believed to have come here from Los Angeles, was found today by police who broke into his room. Blood spattered walls and wrecked furniture gave evidence of a terrific death struggle. No weapon or clue to the assailants was found. Information obtained by police led them to start a search for two roommates of Holmes who, they believe, may be able to give some information concerning the killing. Among the man's effects were letters from Los Angeles. It was said he had been in Chicago only a week. FORD ASSEMBLING PLANT IN GERMANY BERLIN, April 1.—Henry Ford has concluded an agreement with the Berlin-Burger Iron Works for the exclusive sale of Ford motor cars and tractors in Germany, it was announced today. The cars will be assembled at a plant near Magdeburg, which will be run with all the efficiency of the gigantic Ford plant in Detroit. All parts of the cars will be made in the United States except the chassis. The largest lumber plant and lumber city in the world, now under construction near the mouth of the Columbia river, is to be largely electrical. Included in the equipment will be a large bank of 600 and 600 kv-a. "rough and ready" portable transformers, which the General Electric Co. will furnish. HELLO DIXIE HELLO DIXIE Is Five Cents on the Dollar of Valuation Too Much to Earn? If a business worth $10,000 earned $500 net income in a year (or $41 a month), would it be considered an unreasonable profit and proof that its prices were too high? The railroads are in that situation today. The 1923 net return for the whole country was less than 5 per cent. As of December 31, 1919, the Interstate Commerce Commission gave to the railroads a tentative valuation of $18,900,000,000. With actual figures for 1920, 1921, 1922, and with 1923 conservatively estimated as $1,100,000,000, there has been invested in the railways since this tentative valuation a net amount of $2,371,563,000, making the value as of December 31, 1923, $21,271,583,000. On this amount the Railways in 1923 earned an aggregate net operating income of approximately $907,610,000, or 4.09 per cent. The Government guarantee of earnings expired August 31, 1920. If this guarantee had been continued as repeatedly but erroneously claimed—the Govern- The 1923 net return for the whole country was less than 5 per cent.

On this amount the Railways in 1923 earned an aggregate net operating income of approximately $907,610,000, or 4.69 per cent. The Government guarantee of earnings expired August 31, 1920. If this guarantee had been continued—as repeatedly but erroneously claimed—the Government would owe the railroads more than a billion dollars. Last year the roads handled a record volume of business but could not earn the fair return of 5% per cent to which the Interstate Commerce Commission under the Transportation Act has found them are entitled. If the roads cannot earn 5% in a big year, what will they do in a small year? The Transportation Act provides that if a road in any year earns more than 6 per cent it shall pay one-half of the excess to the Government. The Act is, therefore, a limitation rather than a guarantee. GIVE TRANSPORTATION ACT FAIR TRIAL The Transportation Act should be given a fair test and its merits judged by the results of a normal period of reasonable length. The year 1923 was the first since the war under conditions approaching stabilization. What the railroad situation demands just now is not more law but more confidence. The railroads have emerged from the welter of the war, restored their morale, made enormous investments of new money, and in 1923 handled a peak business with universal satisfaction. The Transportation Act is the only really constructive railroad legislation of a generation. Previous acts were almost solely repressive. In framing the Act the public interest was paramount. The Act directs the Interstate Commerce Commission to "give due consideration to the transportation needs of the country and the necessity of enlarging railway facilities in order to provide the people of the United States with adequate transportation." Give the Act a chance. Don't amend it. If the roads are let alone they should make as good a record for efficiency this year as last. Constructive suggestions are always welcome.
