cal term for blood-money paid to

Here it donates the bribe offeréd to
a judge to induce him to acquit the

graphically represented as holding a,
bribe so close to his eyes that he
cannot see the guilt of the accused.
Samuel's sons had been guilty of
taking bribes as ftffiges, 1 Sam. 8

declared his own innocence of such
iniquity. Samuel got "a clean bill

More Shame for Texas
The ugly head of mob violence will not stay down.
Ten men yesterday flogged another man near Fort
Worth. They gave no reason for the attack. There could
have been no reason to justify it.
The law provides penalties for crimes against society
The law administers these penalties. Those who take the
law into their own hands, as did these ten at Fort Worth,
are in open rebellion against the constituted authorities. They
are enemies of society, because their actions tend to break
down the securty which the law affords the individual.
Even when an individual member commits some crime
against the rest of society, he is given the right of trial in
open court. These floggers do not give their victims any
such right.
It is probable that the reason Strauss was flogged in
Ft. Worth was something similar to the excuses given for
the flogging of a woman in Georgia, and of several people
in Marshall. The Georgia woman was whipped because
she didn't go to church. The Marshall people were whipped
because they failed to work their crops. And this in a free
country.
The United States recently celebrated the anniversary
of its independence. As long as mob violence and flogging
parties continue in this country, the liberty and freedom for
which the colonies fought, and which are guaranteed by the
constitution, are in jeopardy.
There is too much intolerance in this country; too much
narrow-mindedness; too much ignorance of and disregard for
the rights of freemen. It is probably that only such punish-
ment as the law is entitled to mete out will have any effect
on men such as those who swung the ropes at Ft .Worth,
at Marshall, and in Georgia. The children of these men can
be educated until they obtain a perspective, a sense of the
decencies and freedoms of life.
They can be educated; but-will they? The principal
of a public school in Georgia was yesterday convicted of
being one of those who whipped a woman—because she
didn't go to church.
With such men as this in charge of the teaching of our
children, the outlook is rather gloomy.

School Lesson Written

INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY SCHOOL
LESSON FOR JULY 10, 1927
General Topic: Samuel's Farewell.
Scripture Lesson: 1 Sam. 12:1-5, 23-25.
1. And Samuel said unto all Israel, I have hearkened
unto your voice in all that ye have said unto me, and have
made a king over you.
2. And now, behold, the king walketh before you; and
I am old and grayheaded; and, behold, my sons are with
you; and I have walked before you from my youth unto
this day.
3. Here I am: witness against me before Jehovah,
and before his annointed: whose ox haveT taken? or whose
ass have I taken? or whom have I defrauded? whom have
1 oppressed? or of whose hand have I taken a ransom to
blind mine eyes therewith? and I will restore it to you.
4. And they said, Thou hast not defrauded us, nor
oppressed us, neither hast thou taken aught of any man's
hand.
5. And he said unto them, Jehovah is witness against
you, and his annointed is witness this day, that ye have
not found aught in my hand. And they said, He is witness.
23. Moreover as for me, far be it from me that I
should sin against Jehovah in ceasing to pray for you: but
I will instruct you in the good and right way.
24. Only fear Jehovah, and serve him in truth with
all your heart; for consider how great things he hath done
for you.
25. But if ye shall still do wickedly, ye shall be con-
sumed, both ye and your king.
Time: B. C. 1101.
Place:' Gilgal, the capital of the nation, situated be-
tween Jericho and Jordan.

"Many disturbing problems are
being forced upon the public minS-

Our love, our trust, our service free;
For thee our sons shall nobly live,

WML W&RD DO
WITH HIS BILLION?
First Let's Consider What He Will NOT Do
1. He will not quit work—retire on $1,000,000,000 cash.
2. He will not forget or neglect 15,000,000 buyers.
3. He will not go backward or stand still.
4. He will not permit waste of human effort, time or
material.
5. He will not add dividends or interest on that billion
at cost to the public.
6. He will not enter into a competition or exaggeration
with other automobile manufacturers about his
product in an effort to sell it.
You Will Recognize the Following Headlines and Extracts
From Well Known Automobile Advertisements
(a) "The first truly fine American small car."
(b) "America's first truly fine small car."
(A and B pretty much the same. Can they both be
true?)
(c) "Be assured no car of the coming year will be so
dramatic in dash, good looks and reliability."
(d) "The contrast with the only four other four-cylinder
cars of large production will prove so striking—so
unanswerable."
(e) "New and unequalled a year ago—and still un-
equalled today."
(f) Recognized everywhere as supremely typifying Amer-
ica's genius for perfection in things mechanical."
(g) "Americas first European-type Eight—-so sensational
in «appearance, performance and price, that it will
tear the Six market wide open."
(h) "The finest, fastest model of America's longest lasting
car."
(i) "It is an actual fact that no other car in its class is
at all comparable in beauty, performance or econ-
omy."
,(j) "Engineering leadership in Every Price Class."

He will keep it invested and working just where it is
now—in the conduct of a business ever growing, ever
giving employment to more people at higher wages,
ever producing finer articles at ever lessening prices.
He will continue to %ct according to his belief in the
