Farley announced tonight that all post masters rendering “loyal and ef ficient service” whose terms have not expired, will be permitted to fill out their terms. Those whose terms have expir ed, however, “may naturally ex- .-.rJs Rfv. CLarles £. Dunn, K JESUS REBUKES SELF-SEEKING Lesson for April 23rd. Mark 9:30-50. ^ Golden Text: Romans 13:10. All of us crave popularity. It is human to seek recog nition. But it is foolish to scramble for it. The disciples, in their quarrel as to who was the greatest, and therefore entitled to the honors of rank and precedence, form a sorry picture. Jesus, with characteristic directness, at once plunged to the root of the whole, issue. Greatness, He insisted, is not the fruit of the aggressive seizure of power, but of its renunciation. “If any one wishes to be first, he must be last of all and servant of all.*’ This means that the humble, obscure workman behind the scenes, an unheralded hero never in the limelight, never responding to a curtain call with its ringing applause, may be, by God’s standard, first in value and esteem. He it is who, when the kingdom of heaven is established, will be called from his inconspicuous position to a post of leadership. Then the Master gave a concrete demonstration of ibis principle. Taking a little child, Hs placed him in their midst, embraced him, and then uttered those memorable words, “Whoever for my sake receives one such young child as this, receives me.” That child, with its trustful eyes so full of wonder, its innocence, its beauty, its simple laith, unspoiled by the sordid, selfish brutalities of our blighted world, both rebuked the grasping disciples, and gave them a needed lesson. Was Jesus mistaken in His glorification of the child? No indeed. Havelock Ellis maintains that the average man of genius, both in physique and temperament, is child-like. “The progress of our race,” he says “has been a progress in youthfulness.” One other saying of the Master in this lesson, deserves careful study. It is the declaration, “He who is not against us is for us.” How large-hearted. How generous. How we find the secret of the Master’s superb tolerance and magnaminity. • ; Experience Service Facilities - Those are the important things in measuring the worth of a funeral director, and should be borne In mind when you have occasion to choose one DISTANCE IS NO HINDRANCE TQ OUR SERVICE and there is no additional charged for service out of town J.

At the same time Farley said there is not “the slightest basis” for reports that civil service ex aminations are to be abandoned in the appointment of postmasters and added that he would consult members of Congress with regard to the qualifications and fitness of candidates. The postmaster general issued a statement to allay fears that there would be a wholesale “clean ing out” of republican postmasters. Farley explained that the civil j service system was established by i a. democratic president, Groveri Cleveland, and said, “it was an other democratic president who first committed the civil service commission the task of examin ing applicants for appointmeno as postmasters.” “This administration will not abandon that high ground,” he declared.
