Washington, Sept. 9 (Autoc aster) ? The President, after a short vacation, is going on the road to sell the New Deal to the people of the U. S. In his sample case he will carry a line of new goods, produced under his direction by the 74th Congress in its first session. First on his list of goods is the So cial Security Act, with old age pen sions for everybody and unemploy ment insurance for industrial workers. Mr. Roosevelt regards this as perhaps his choicest piece of merchandise. In the cities he will show the Wagner Labor Disputes Act, with its protection of the right of collective bargaining, while in the rural districts he will ex hibit the amendments to the Agricul tural Administration Act and the re vised Frazier-Lemke farm mortgage law. For everybody's benefit, the Presi dent can display the new Banking Act, increasing the Federal Reserve Board's control of credits; the act for the Fed eral regulation of public utility hold ing companies; the interstate bus and truck regulation act, and the billion dollar appropriation for national de fense. Also, In Sample Case ? The bulkiest item in his sample case is the $4,800,000,000 appropriation for Work Relief. It is calculated to ap peal strongly to people of every sec- 1 tion and class. How much of a dis- j play Mr. Roosevelt will make of the new income-tax law is a bit doubtful. Congress did not construct that accord ing to his specifications, since the main feature which he urged, the inherit- 1 ance tax, was omitted. However, it will serve as it stands as evidence of his intention to carry out the promise of his inaugural address, of a more equitable distribution of wealth. For the coal miners and the bitumin ous coal industry he can point with justifiable pride to the Guffey-Snyder Act, applying NRA principles to the soft -coal industry. For railroad workers, he can point to the Wagner - Crosser railway pension law. Those are only the major items of New Deal legislation enacted at the session of Congress just ended. There is still much unfinished business in both Houses. Left hanging in the air are the Pure Food and Drug bill, ship subsidy legislation, war-profits regulation (although a neutrality res olution prohibiting sales of war sup plies to belligerents was rushed thru in the closing hours of the session), regulation of commodity exchanges, regulation of water transportation, the Bankhead farm tenant relief bill, the Black 30-hour week bill, and the Wag ner plan for general prohibition of child labor. Four Months From Now Some of the New Dealers are insist ing that all of those left-over laws and a few more must be enacted at the next session of this congress, which will begin next January. Between now and January there will be ample time to find out how the American people like what has been done so far, and the public reaction to the record and to the president's public account of his stewardship, will have a great deal to do with the plans for the next ses sion. Four months of personal contact with their constituents will give many Senators and Representatives a clear er idea of where they and the Ad ministration stand with the voters. The Supreme Court may also figure in the picture. It is expected to pass this Fall on some more of the New Deal legislation of the previous Congress, if not of this one. The Congressional recess will not mean a long vacation for many of the members. Seven Senate Committees and eight of the House will carry on investigations of a wide range of public questions. Among the inves tigations which are expected to pro duce at least news paper .headlines, if not useful information on which to base future legislation, are those into the activities of lobbies of all sort, chain stores and their lobbying operations, the Virgin Islands admin istration, brankruptcy practices in the Federal Courts, and the air-mail trans port concerns. Surveying the congressional debris left lying around in the mad rush of the boys on Capital Hill to get back home, one item stands out. That is the failure to pass the Patman bo nus bill over the President's veto. And the possible result of that failure is giving a good many of the members of both houses something to worry about. o ?

LON THE CRITICISMS OF VOLTAIRE AND PAINE The newspapers of New York and London, of Paris and Rome, to say nothing of the universities in those and other countries, would charter ships to rush scholars and photographers and telegraphers to that place if any new book by a disciple of Jesus were found. They would run telegraph lines and established radio stations at the top of Mount Ararat or the heart of the desert of Sahara. As fast as the book could be photographed and translated, it would be printed on the front page of every newspaper in the world and broadcast from the principal ifcdio stations. It would appear in book form al most overnight, and would out sell all the best sellers. In the eighteenth century, that vitriolic genius, Voltaire, "Spoke of the Bible as a shortlived book: The Scripture was his jest-book, whence he drew Bon mots to gall the Christian and the Jew. He said that within a hundred years it would pass from common use. Not many people read Voltaire tod^y, but his house has been packed with Bibles as the depot of a Bible society. Thomas Paine, a much abused man, said some good things which ought to be remembered to his credit, but in closing the first part of his Age of Reason he left this foolish summary of what he thought he had accomplished: I have now gone through the Bible, as a man would go through a wood with an axe, and felled trees. Here they lie, and the priests replant them, but they will never make them grow. Desperate efforts have been made to replant Paine's writings and give them again the influence which they were supposed once to have had. But if the Bible sells one single copy less for anything Paine ever wrote about or against it, the sales reports do not show it. ^ If a modern American author writes a book which has a moderately good sale in this country, and a London publisher takes over an edition and sells it in England, the author thinks well of his efforts. If his book is translated into German or French or Spanish or Italian or Russian or Scandi navian, he has reason to be proud. He is not likely to do more than this, and he may well congratulate himself if his novel or text-book or scientific treaties appears in a half-dozen tongues. But the Bible is extant in full, from the first verse of Genesis to the end of Revelations, in one hundred and eight languages. Many other languages and dialects do not justify as yet the entire translation. New alphabets had to be made; fonts of type had to be cast; different sounds had to be classified; grammars and dictionaries had to be prepared, so as yet in many dialects and mixed languages only the New Testament and some portions of the Old are printed. __ ' 5undayMtlwol Lj HENRY- |) tVE4DCllFFE c TIMOTHY : Internaticnal Sunday School Lesson for September 15, 1935. ? ? ? GOLDEN TEXT: "Give diligence to ! present thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not' to be a- 1 shamed, handling aright the word of truth." 2 Tim. 2:15. Lesson Text: 2 Timothy 1:1-14. Second Timothy is the last writing cf Paul the Apostle, as far as we know, . at least, it is the last he wrote which we have today. When this letter to Timothy was written Paul was in the prison at Rome, his second confine ment, and shortly afterwards he met his martyr's death. Timothy was a native of Lystra, a city in Central Asia Minor. During his first missionary journey Paul preached there, incurring the enmity of some who stoned him. It is thought probable that he first came in con j tact with Timothy at this time. At any rate, while on the second mis | sionary journey, Paul was joined by Timothy as an assistant and from this time on we find this young man as sociated with Paul more continuously i and intimately than any other. Paul j regarded him as his spiritual son and evidenced oftentimes a peculiar affec tion and esteem for him. The pastorial epistles known as first and second Timothy, were addressed to Timothy, serving as head of the new faith at Ephesus, where accord ing to tradition, he later met a mar tyr's death. At the time of the let ters, however, Paul sought to help the young leader In meeting the many perplexing problems which confronted him as the expounder of a new faith in competition with pagan beliefs and conflicting religions. Most of our information about Tim othy comes through Paul. In one of the selections of our lesson text he pays tribute to the genuine faith which actuated Timothy, crediting it In a large part to the influence of his ertindmother, Lois, and his mother, Eunice. Two very admirable women, to whom Paul gives honor and admira tion. This attitude on the part of Timtohy, Paul ascribes to the fact that from a young child he had been acquainted with the sacred writings, which with faith in Jesus would make him wise under salvation. At that time the religious writings consisted only' of the Old Testament, whereas today we are much risher In the possession of the New Testament as well. Paul's tribute to Timothy, that "he worketh the work of the Lord as I also do" should be recognized as high praise, for (Paul never hesitated to denounce heresy and oppose un faithful workers. Timothy's case illustrates the abid ing Influence of a family which was devout and religious. Heredity plays its part in the formation of religious conviction, therefore, the importance of parents realizing their obligation as divinely appointed priests to their own household. The home should be not only a school but a temple as well and children should receive their re ligious education primarily by precept and example in their own home. If a child is brought in contact with the good and beautiful in life is Im pressed with the value of excellence in all things, and inspired to seek to': > know the truth and follow It, he is more than apt to be a creditable citi zen and blessing both to his parents and the world at large, carlyle's last letter to his mother contained the statement that he had nothing for which he was as thankful as for his mother, and Wesley stated that with out the inherited traits from his own mother he would not have been able to perform half of the valuable ser vice he rendered. Paul advised Timothy to rest con fidently in the things which he had learned and hold fast to the truths of which he was assured. Inspired scrip ture is profitable to mankind, being more than a library of good literature and an instructor in proper morals, for it contains the power, when set in motion by faith in Jesus Christ, not only to point the proper way of life but to furnish the believer with the dynamic energy to live in that way. No other body of writings is as valuable for instruction, for consola tion, for to promote spirituality, or to answer the cravings or aspirations of mankind as the Bible had by the Christians today. It can stand the test of experience for it fits the condi tions of the modern heart just as cor rectly as it reached mankind in an cient years. Man's relation to man and man's relation to God has not changed in recent centuries and these relationships form the subject matter of our holy scriptures. The chistian today can challenge the unbeliever to read and apply bibli cal truths, confident that the Bible will stand the test of human trial. SCREEN STARS Complete paralysis of all festive and social occasions in Hollywood followed the news of Will Rogers' death. Lyle Talbot was picked up by a po liceman for speeding on a bicycle as he rode at thirty miles an hour in a twenty-mile-an-hour zone. Charlie Chaplin is being sculptured by a young Hollywood artist. Hecht and MacArthur have signed Myma Loy since she broke her con tract with Metro-Maver. Charles Butterworth, Lanny Ross, Edmund Lowe and Ralph Morgan are all graduates of law schools and pre pared for law careers before they went into pictures. Ginger Rogers and Lew Ayres who were married eight months ago were ordered back to Hollywood to make a new picture. They were on their way to Hawaii and had only gotten as far as Del Monte, Cal., when they re ceived the telegram. Alice Faye is twenty-two years old and has never had a proposal of mar riage.

Mary Boland, Jessica Dragonette, Sir Guy Standing, Gail Patrick, Ray No ble and his orchestra in the cast. o Using the mails to defraud is un lawful unless you have a high-class lawyer to show, you how. . Keeps Her Promise CHICAGO . . . Two years ago, In 1933 Mrs. Adena Miller Rich (above), wife , of a Chicago stock broker, promised the late Jane Addams that some day she would accept the post as President of Hull House. Mrs. Rich has just been elected to the chair, vacated by the ' death of Miss Addams. NEW PICTURES (Opinions are based upon the re ports of P. S. Harrison, noted New York critic, whose reviews serve as confidential guides to theatre men all o*?r the United States.) "Alice Adams" (RKO) Kathrine Hep burn and Fred McMurray. Exceptionally fine entertainment in both production and acting. Kathrine Hepburn, in her portrayal of the wist ful small-town girl, surpasses any thing she has ever done. Fred Stone is good as the nagged husband and Fred McMurray is the hero. Evelyn Venable, Frank) Albertson^ Hedda Hopper and others are in the cast. The plot is adapted from Booth Tar kingtons' story. Suitable for everybody. "Top Hat" (RKO) Fred Astaire and Ginger Rodgers. Excellent! There is no doubt that it will satisfy the Astaire-Rodgers fans as much as their other pictures for it has everything they enjoy ? dancing by the stars, good music, good comedy, lavish sets and romance. Al though the story is flimsy it is out standing in other respects. Some of the situations, particularly those be tween Edward Everett Horton and his butler, provoke hearty laughs. It is the sort of picture that Jeaves one with a happy feeling and the satis faction of having seen something real ly good. Excellent for everybody. "Pa^e Miss Glory" (Warner Bros.) Marion Davies, Pat O'Brien, Dick Powell. Despite a lavish production and of hard work by all the members of the cast, this never rises much above the level of fair entertainment. Both Dick Powell and Marion Davies are mis cast. There are some comical situa tions. In the cast are Mary Astor, Lyle Talbot. Frank McHugh, Allen Jenkins, patsy Kelley and others. Suitable for the family. "Harmony Lane" (Mascot) Douglass Montgomery, Evelyn Venabel and Adrienne Ames. "Harmony Lane'" is fine entertain ment. The plot has been based on the story of i Stephens Foster and does not leave one depressed although his life was not a happy one. Old com positions, such as ''Oh, Susannah," "The Old Folks At Home" etc, run ?through the story. Excellent for the family. "After The Dance" (Columbia) Nancy Carroll and George Murphy. Fair. The plot is far-fetched but holds the attention pretty well. Music and dancing are worked in the story nicely and the romantic interest is pleasant. Thelma Todd, Jack LaRue and others are in the cast. Suitable for adults. "This Woman Is Mine" (Paramount) with Gregory Ratoff. Fair. Provides some thrills by Rat off, as lion tamer, entering the cage to put the lions through their tricks but Ratoff portrays an unpleasant character. The story is not suitable for chil dren or adolescents. Benita Hume, Richard Bennett and Kathrine Ser gaga are in the cast. tp?GAL NOTICE!
