What Tkf Wul to Rm*
CULVER CITY, CALIF.—
Beautiful actress mysteriously
dead. Crased worker turns peace*
(ul street into a shambles. Mother
of three hanged for murder. Nurse
suspected of inflicting "mercy
deaths" on helpless patients. Con-
fession by Hauptmann predicted, ttlclt
man's eon kidnaped. Former Presi-
dent Hoover tries to make humorous
speech. . . All these tragic things on
the aame front page.
Earnest thinkers
who'll accuse the
newspapers of sensa-
tionalism for featur-
ing distressful hsp-
penlngs. forget that,
to live, newspapers
must print what peo-
ple want to read about,
not what professional
upllfters and most
publlahers, slid many . r„hh
editors, would like
them to read. To publlah any other
sort of newspaper for popular con-
sumption would require an endowment
fund bigger than the average reform*
er'a Ignorance of human nature.
Extra: In the excitement, one more
saddening headline almost was over-
looked ; (Jovornor Tnlmadge of Georgia
still thinks he's running for President.

Tho Living Dead.
Doctor Carrel Is a bit late with Ills
theory that hitman beings might he
dried out and Died away for a matter
of 200 years or so, and then brought
back to life again. Only the other
night I was speaklug at a dinner where
there were many who must have un-
dergone the process—only they hadn't
been brought back to life yet.
It used to be that I had hotter re-
sults, talking at banquets. But lately
my audiences and I seem to he drift-
ing apart. Or maybe It's merely poor
old Mr. Cobh that's drifting apart.
Seriously. I think It would he a mis-
take to tli&ydrnte a fellow the way
Doctor Carrel suggests and set him
aside In some quiet ratproof place for
a couple of centuries and then return
him to consciousness. He probably
wouldn't notice much change In radio
gags—they'll still be using the same
ones—but. Judging by the present rate
of progress, think what taxes will be

Protpoet* of a Fight.
CV1R a while It seemed that, when
" the Itepubllcans meet next year, It
would be for memorial services at
Armageddon, and adjourning thence to
the cemetery. Now It's settled they'll
meet at Cleveland, and the official sil-
ver-lining locator. Chairman Fletcher,
predicts It won't be uny lodge of sor-
row etlther.
Also, the Democrats, who not so
long ago were figuring their 193(5 to do
would merely be a grand ratification
rally, replete with Farley and flags,
are now Inclined to go In for a regular
convention, with resolutions deploring,
among other things, the Literary Di-
gest.
Well, a fight Is better than a massa-
cre. And upon the horizon of both
parties looms the figure of old Doc
Townsend, coming with a little plan,
and If you don't think he's beginning
to cast a shadow, a>:k grandpa. Mean'
while, the Ham Fish boom for presi-
dent spreads like cold molasses.

Stamp* and Such.
WIX(i to the Christmas rush, our
I'ost Office department let an en-
tire week slip by without turning loose
any special stamp commemorating
somebody or something. That means
a double-header later.
If you're going In for new United
States Issues, you'd better figure on an
addition to the Utile home-nest. You
won't be able to get your collection lu
an album: you'll need a howling alley.
Because, when we run out of people
or places or events to name stamps
for. Big Chief Farley can draw on tho
alphabet mid still lie In tho fashion.
My jftiess Is the Kit A memorial
stump will be printed In black and fea-
ture a picture of (5en. Hugh Johnson

STICKING up tlM-lr beads Just long
enough t* announce there'll be no
peace prlM for the Judges ducked
right back Into the Rub-cellar, out of
the war of brickbats and night sticks.
At tlis moment, all was quiet and
harmony. With the exceptions of one
large three-ring war and serem! small-
er ones, snd rfots of one or mure of
the standard varieties—racial, relig-
ious. political. Industrial or economic
—going on simultaneously In seven
major eltlee on four continents, which
comes pretty clone to i inK almost all
the continents we have.
But before withholding the sward,
whf didn't the Judges take a quirk
glance In the direction of Greenland?
There hasn't been a harsh word o«t of
Greenland all year. I believe there

•nee,
Mary was a Jewish maid ef the towa
of Nazareth. The first Information
we have of her Is that She was s*
gaged to be married to Joseph, a ear*
penter of the same vltlage. It seems
thst the custom among the Jews was
for betrothal to take place a year
before msrrlsge. ,
I. The Occasion of (Luke 1:28, 27).
1. Gabriel's announcement (vv. !MT),
During this Interval of betrothal, God
sent the angel Gsbrlel to announce
Mary that she wss to be the mother
Jesus. Isaiah, more than 700
before, propbeaied that a virgin would
give birth to a son, whose name should
be called Immanuei, "God with as"
llm. 7:14). Though at first perplexed, U
she accepted the annunciation with re* f
markoble courage and devotion, ^o bs
told that she was to be a mother was
nothing stsrtllng. for this was the
normal desire of every married'Jewish
woman. Under the clrcumstsnces, shs
accepted motherhood at a tremendous
cost. She wss conscious of her virgin
purtty. She knew thst to become a
mother under such circumstances
would expose her to suspicion and
shame (John 8:41).
I. Mary's response (v. 88). Her
faith was such that she responded
with remarkable courage. She ssld,
"Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be
It unto me according to thy word." Shs
accepted motherhood under these cir-
cumstances as God's command. It war
made clear to her that the begetting
was by the Holy Ghost Snd that ths
Most High would embody himself with
humanity divinely begotten end that
the resultant thing born would bs
holy and called the Son of God.
S. She visits Elisabeth (TV- 89-45).
In her embarrassment she set out on
n visit to an elderly kinswoman called
Elisabeth. Having 'sought the sym
pathy and encouragement of her friend,,
her triumphant faith carried her be-
yond the misunderstanding, the scorn
and shame which awaited her, and
caused her soul to burst out In ths
most wonderful song of praise. This
Is called the "Magnificat" because o(
the first word In the Latin version,
"My soul doth magnify the Lord." A>
pointed out by another, three features
of her character stand out in this
song.
a. Her purity of heart. Only a puM
heart rejoices when God has come
near.
b. Her humility. She forgot herself
and gave her heart to God's praises.
c. Her unselfishness. She did not
primarily think of the undying honor
which through the ages should be at-
tached to her, but the blessedness
which would come to others.
II. The Content of Her Song (vv.
4<ir>8).
1 For salvation (vv. 40-40). It
was salvation for herself'and others.
There is no suggestion whatever In
this song that site thought of herself as
the mother of God. She praised Ood
for the high distinction of being the
channel through which the eternal Son
of God was to make contact with the
race and aave It. Tills high distinc-
tion wrought humility In her soul.
Z For the divine character (vv. 41),
Tift). She praised God that he bad
almighty power, that he wss absolutely
holy and abundant In mercy. «
8. For what the Savior shsll sc- M
comptish (w. 51. 52).
a. He was to scatter the rebellions,
the unbelieving, and the proud. Though
he Is exceedingly merciful and patient,
the time Is coming when sll who reject
him shall t>e scattered.
b. He was to exalt the lowly. How™
wonderfully this has been accomplished
through the centuries. Those who tura
from sin und exercise faith In Jesus
Christ are lifted up to pisces of hon-
orable recognition.
c. He filled the hungry. It la
through Jesus Christ thst good Is
gained for the hungry. Indeed, all
blessings come through him.
d. He sent the rich away empty.
By the rich no doubt la amaat those
who have arrogated te themselves lm- t
portanco because of the possessions
which be gave them.
4. For God's faithfulness (vv. 8S-M).
Ills faithfulness Is shown to keeping
his promises. That which was about to
be realised was the fulfillment of the *
covenant premiss made la Gdea and
perpetuated through Abraham,
