T H E C E D A R V I L L E H E R A L D HUMM BULL EDITORAND’ PUBLISHER l&a$«r*d at the Poet Office* Cedarville, Ohio, October Sl» 1887, m **ey»d eiaai matter* ^ FRIDAY, MAY 18, 1928 SOMETIMES WE BITE OURSELVES The McNary-Haugen farm relief bill has passed both houses of Congress but in different form in each and the mea­ sure i* now in conference., As congress has set May 19 or the 26th as adjournment date, it does not look as if the bill will reach President Coolidge, who is expected to veto it unless it is radically changed. A number o f the supporters o f the bill de­ mand it as it is or nothing, thus the farm element stands divided. There is grave question whether the bill as it has been handled was ever intended to be anything other than apolitical measure to give the socalled farmer politicians a chance to keep their names before the public. In one instance it appears that Congressman Brand would rather see it vetoed so that he could cpntinue to stand for “ farm relief'" and have an issue to fool the ^^Dur ing the recent primary Brand all of a sudden took a decided stand against Herbert Hoover on the ground that Hoover had fixed the price o f wheat during the war against the farmer. Congressman Burton at the qrutial time during a debate in Congress read a letter where Brand declined to he consider­ ed as head o f the agriculture department, that President Coo- lidge might appoint Hoover for the position, the latter being suggested for the Commerce Department where he now serves. A little war'history has been reviewed and a writer un­ covers an almost forgotten fact that Brand served on the “ butter and milk commission" during the Wilson administra­ tion, that came in for severe criticism. The Congressman has evidently found that he has bitten, himself and now has little to say. N HOW ABOUT LUCK IN BUSINESS? A writer has raised the question as to how far luck gqqs in business. The dictionary defines luck as “ that which happens by chance^ fortune or lot," No doubt some men in business have been fortunate and won success by what we term luck. Once in a while a merchant may have a neighbor that is en­ gaged in a business that has the opposite effect in attracting the general public on that side of the street,. Frequently honorable business is detrimental to some other line of trade. But luck will not always bring business. It cannot be de­ pended upon. One must have honest merchandise sold by honorable clerks. A businessman may have the faculty of fore­ sight that will lead to greater possibilities than his competitor, but that is not luck. ' v 1 , You cannot depend on.luck in business, but you can-depend on character in business. CHURCHES LOOKING TO THE FUTURE . 'The action of the conference of the Methodist Episcopal church is session in Kansas City in asking the unification of the Methodist church, South, the Northern and Southern branches of the Presbyterian church and the Congregational church, is a forward looking step. - The fact that the Methodist body voted 852 tb' 3 for this action indicates almost a unanimous decision along that line, * ' * For the past few years different denominations have had the consolidation or unification plan under discussion but until ‘ this time, there has been a wide difference o f opinion, and there may yet be objection from some sections. Such a step is indica­ tion that church leaders are looking to the future. There is no question in the minds of many churchmen that f t wiU not be many years until several of the larger denomina- one body. There have been changes in the past ten years that probably ,some of our ancestors never ex­ pected this or any other generation to see. Just -so with the merging plan. It may not come during the life; time o f “some but it looms now as neater a possibility than fo r some years. DEMANDS CHARACTER IN BUSINESS John D. Rockefeller, Jr., evidently meant what ,he said some weeks ago in a radio address that character in business was the greatest asset. At that time he made reference to the oil investigation and had promised the government a complete Statement of facts concerning Robert Stewart,, president of the Indiana Standard that had been connected with the defrauding of the government in oil land leases. Stewart had been firm in his denial o f wrong doing to the Rockefeller,interests and the government,. He had made such denial on the witness stand but the government was on his heels and had evidence to the contrary. When Stewart saw that he was trapped he again offered to testify, this time not in his own interest, or that of Sinclair, but to clear his name o f perjury i f possible.. His confession was complete and in accord with evidence the government had but very damaging to Sinclair, Rockefeller last week demanded Stewart’S resignation as head ofN the Indiana Standard Company. Such an instance is probably without record in this country. It only goes to show that Rockefeller demands the same standard of business ethics in the commercial world that he advocates through his many church and charitable benefactions. .!

LOOKS LIKE MELLON HOLDS THE KEY- The Republican convention is less than four weeks away and it begins to look now as i f Herbert Hoover will be nom­ inated without question' oh one of the early ballots at the Kansas City gathering. , Two states, New York and Pennsylvania, the former with 96 delegates, the latter with 79, will have uninstructed delega­ tions, The Hoover supporters have been more encouraged since the meeting of the Pennsylvania delegation last Saturday, when Andrew Mellon, head of the delegation, gave out a state­ ment that looks like his aids will go to the Secretary. Mellon from the very first has been for Coolidge, but next choice from his recent utterance is Hoover. At anyrate it is safe to say that Mellon will not lend any aid to the "favorite son" candidates. * The politicians playing with the farm relief meastire will drive Mellon to Hoover. Charley Brand's crowd is only playing politics to put Coolidge in the hole. Senator Fees is another that has not bowed to the new element that has used the farm situation for personal political gain. It is almost certain that the “ favorite son" huckster dele­ gates will find a poor market for their votes in the coming convention. There is prospect of no such disgraceful event this year as was recorded eight years ago. Lesson for May 20 JESUS teaching ; in the temple LKBSUNTEXT—SlarH 12:15-44.

Having put the scribes, chief priests and elders to copfurion by a skilful counter question when they demanded to know His authority, Jesus by means of a story lays before them His claim »f divine authority, and charges them with betrayal ,of trust and with plot­ ting to murder, the very Son-of God. His teaching cut them to the quick, and they sought to lay hands upon , 111m, but desisted for fear of the peo pie, i . • 1, The. vineyard (v. 1), represented Israel (See Ps, 80 and Isa 5), 2.

They already would have gladly taken Him by violence and kilted Him, but they feared the people. In order to destroy Him they seek to discredit Him among the people <v, 13), 1. Their question (v. 14), 1 “Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not?” The .Pharisees con­ tended that since God was the real Xing of Israel, It was not obligatory, yea, ,(t was even sinful to give tribute (tuxes) to a heattieu king The He- radians were supporters of Herod; wish-iktleu on ifi.it lip-, they ypul this subtle question, Pur Him to an­ swer “5Tes” would have discredited ■Hlnr with the .people, and to have sal(l “No”' would nave made Him liable to ’arrest as fin enemy of the governmenu 2.

The Resurrection of the Dead (vv. 18-27). The Pharisees and lierodlnns being; silenced, the Snddueees came with a question Which Involved uot only Im­ mortality but the resurrection, of the body*- They denied the reality of the resurrection, and beUeved not in ungel nor spirit (Acts 23:8). , L, The case proposed (vv. 19-23). -The law of Mo$es uiade It not only legal but morally binding in the case of a man dying without children for his brother to take his wife .(Deub 22:5). They propose the case of a woman married successively to seven brothers. They ask whose wife, she will be in the resurrection, 2 / Jesus’ reply (Vv. 24-20). By a quotation front the Mosaic law (Ex. 8:0) He'proves ttie resurrection of the dead, and their continued ex­ istence after death as glorified beings. He shows that marriage Is for this present life. He points out that their great error ‘ Was due to two things, ( 1 ) Ignorance of the Scriptures tv. 24), In the very Scriptures which they professed to believe was positive proof,of the resurrection (Ex, 8:0). (2) Ignorance of the power of God (v, 24). God* is nbhs to provide a life where there Is no death, no births or marriages, IV, The Great Commandment of the Law (V,v. 28-34). Christ’s answer shows marvelous Insight. He sums up man’s whole duty In One word—love. The Brat and great commandment la supreme and undivided love of God. The second la like unto It In that love Is Its center, hut love for our neighbor (u the men's* ure that we love ourselves. Having put ills questioners to silence, JeSus now puts' to them a question which involves the central doctrine of the Christian faith—the person of Christ (vv. 35-40).
