Hot Towel Unknown to
Chinese Street Barber
One of the coldest Jobs in Shang¬
hai is that of the itinerant boy bar¬
bers who hang out their poles at any
street corner and minister to their
clients on the spot. The only point
"of dissension lies In the possibility
that the client is colder than the bar¬
ber. Icy cold water rubbed into the
beard and the pate, the rude scrap¬
ing of an old-fashioned Chinese ra
'ror—something like an inverted chis¬
el-while the thermometer stands at
freezing point and wind and sleet
whistle around the client’s ears, must
be an unpleasant experience.
Still, most of these boys, who earn
a very meager living, treat their cli¬
ents to the semblance of a nice, clean
towel or sheet around the neck,
which Is an Improvement on the days
when water was never used at all.—■

Lesson for January 22
JESUS FORGIVING SIN
Mark
GOLDEN TEXT—The Son of man
hath power on earth to forgive eine.
Mark 2:10.
PRIMARY TOPIC—Jesus Forgiving
• Man.
JUNIOR TOPIC—Jesu* Forgiving a
Man,
INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP¬
IC—How We May Be Forgiven.
YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT
TOPIC—Jesus’ Power Over Sin.
I. Jesus Preaching the Word (vv.
1 . 2 ).
1. To whom (v. 2). It was to the
surging crowd whieh was gathered
about the house where Jesus was stop¬
ping. So great was the crowd that
there was no room to receive them,
even about the door. This house may
have been the home of Peter where he
had healed his wife’s mother of a
fever. As soon as It was noised about
that Jesus was In the house, the multi¬
tudes gathered. It Is always so, that
the multitudes gather where Jesus Is.
2. What Jesus preached (v. 2). He
preached the Word before he wrought
miracles, for his supreme mission was
to make known God’s will. Miracles
were not an end In themselves, but to
authenticate his work. The people
came, some to be healed, and some out
of curiosity. The Word of God should
be preached to all so that the will of
God may be known even though the
hearers gather with an unworthy mo¬
tive.
II. Jesus Forgiving Sins (vv. 3-5).
The man brought to him was suffer¬
ing from the dread disease of palsy,
but his deadly affliction was that of
sin. Palsy was a type of sin. The
miracle was wrought by Jesus In con¬
firmation of his message. It was vital¬
ly connected with faith. Observe:
1. Faith coming to Jesus (v. 3).
The actuating impulse of the palsied
man and his four friends who carried
him was faith. They believed that
Jesus had power to save.
2. Faith overcoming difficulties (v.
4). Though prevented by the crowd
from coming to Jesus, they ascended
the outer stairway and let the afflicted
man down through the roof Into his
presence. They disregarded conven¬
tionalities. knowing,, that the all lia,
port ant thing wfls to go, to tbi»‘ Lord
with their need, 5
8. Fntth rewarded (y. 5)-, No wo?d
was hearersi uttefed by either fnS paralytic or
hte No words were needed.
ThUr nV’tfdf Vnsr errongh. The paralft
ic got more than he expected. He de¬
sired healing of the body and he re¬
ceived forgiveness of sins—the healing
of the body plus forgiveness of sins.
III. Jesus Answering the Scribes
(vv. G-10).
1. Their objections (vv. G, 7).
a. Why does he thus speak?
b. Who enn forgive sin? They were
entirely right lu their reasonings that
only God can forgive sins. Their blun¬
der was In not perceiving him as God.
The very one who was speaking and
acting was the living God.
2. Jesus’ answer (vv. 8-10). Know¬
I ing their inner thoughts and reason
lngs, he manifested unto them his es¬
sential deity In that he had power to
know their thoughts. He Inquired,
“Which Is easier, to say, Thy sins be
forgiven thee; or to say, Arise and
take up thy bed, and walk? lint that
ye may know that the Ron of man hath
j power on earth to forgive sins, (he
; salth to the sick of the palsy), I say
I unto thee. Arise, a#d take up thy bed,
and go thy way Into thine house.” He
was willing that Ills power In the In¬
visible realm should be tested by his
power in the visible.
IV. Jesus Healing the Paralytic
(vv. 11, 12).
1. His method (v. 11). He spoke
the word and It was done. Christ's
words were enough. This man was
helpless nnd unable of himself to
move, but with the command was
given the strength to obey. It Is
always so, that when Christ commands
lie gives the strength to perform.
2. The obedience of the man (v.
12). He Immediately arose, took up
his bed and went forth among them
all. The poor helpless man walked
away with his bed upon his shoulder.
At the words of Christ, disease and
death flee away. This was a fine ex¬
ample again of divine healing.
3. The people were amazed, and
glorified God (v. 12). They said, “We
never saw It on this fashion.”
World Movements
God dwells In the great movements
if the world, in the great Ideas which
act In the human race. Find him
there in the interests of man. Find
him hy sharing In those Interests, hy
helping all who are striving for truth,
for education, for progress, for liberty
all over the world.
Confide in Him
Confide to God that which thou last
from him, O thou soul weary of wan
dering! Confide to thq truth that •
whieh is from the truth within thee,
and thou shalt lose nothing.—St Au
gustine.
The Disciples Sent Forth
Go your ways; behold. 1 send yon
forth as lambs among wolves: Carry
neither purse, nor script, .nor shoes;
and salute no man by the way.—Luke

Comrress Not Accomplishing Anything Important—
Budget Balancing Likely to Be Postponed—Johnson
Assails Borah in Senate Debate.
By EDWARD W. PICKARD
TF ANYTHING of moment Is accom
* plished by the present session of
congress, almost certainly the last
“lame duck” session that ever will be
W Af- j
Rep. Rainey
confusion. The senate doesn’t espe¬
cially like the house's beer bill, and
the house doesn’t approve of the re¬
peal resolution before the senate. Pro¬
ceedings In the upper chamber at this
writing are held up by a filibuster con¬
ducted by Senator Huey Long of
Louisiana for the purpose of defeating
the Glass banking bill. And over all
hangs the prospect that President
Hoover will veto certain of the most
Important measures If they reach the
White House.
As for balancing the budget, that
probably will have to wait for the
special session of the new congress.
President Hoover apparently has aban¬
doned hope that It can be accom¬
plished at this session, nnd the Dem¬
ocrats, including President-Elect Roose¬
velt, give no Indication that they have
decided how It should be done. They
now deny that they plan to raise the
Income tax, the leaders who conferred
with Mr. Roosevelt repudiating their
first statements that such^|vas their
intention. Representative Renry T.
Rainey of Illinois, majority lender,
declares congress can balariee the fed¬
eral budget without the, tynposiflon of
additional taxes, except a tax on beer,
and hts statement is greeted with gen¬
eral expressions of approval from the
taxpayers He ajd,juanjN*b«nbel's the budget should of con¬ be
gress. says
balanced by cutting down the cost of
governmety—a proceeding thnybas the
nominal approval,of both parties—and
that the imposition pUffale’ erf • heavier tax
burden of) ftie wbflld be to
vile revolution." All of which sounds
fine, but so far congress has failed to
reduce governmeriinl costs In any ap
pfhclable degree. The amount It will
save In this session may not be as
much as $ 100 , 000 , 000 .
Senator Pat Harrison of Mississippi,
one of the most astute of the Demo¬
crats, agreed with the Rainey pro¬
gram. “We," he sntd, “are going to
try to retrench sufficiently to avoid
levying of new taxes. It is too early
now to tell just how close we can
come to balancing the budget through
economies. Our plan is to hold off on
revenue legislation for several weeks
while we try to secure enactment of
the beer bill, re enactment of the gaso¬
line tax and all possible economies.
When we know how much we can
raise and save it will be time enough
to talk of new taxes.”
-Le r\ EMOCRATIO logrolling and Re
publican tactics of hampering
marked the debate on the domestic
allotment farm relief bill In the house.
Even if it were passed hy house nnd
senate it probably would be subjected
to veto by the President. The measure
was loaded down with amendments
by representatives who refused to be
controlled by their party leaders.
Proposals to Include rice within the
benefits of the net were adopted fit)
to 24; peanuts were added by the close
teller vote of 111 to lit) nnd the but¬
ter fat products of the dairy Industry
Included 102 to 75 on a rising vote.
When It was finally assured of passage
by the house, the Roosevelt farm relief
program was rounded out with the in¬
troduction In the senate of companion
bills designed to lighten the burdens
of agricultural mortgages through the
use of further federal aid and federal
money.
SENATOR BORAH’S assertion in
O the senate that France was justi¬
fied In her stand on the war debt
because President Hoover In his con¬
ference with M. Laval
had given the Euro¬
pean debtor nations
reason to believe their
obligations to the
United States would
be scaled down if
reparations were re¬
duced brought on a
sharp debate between
the Idaho gentleman
and Senator Hiram
Johnson of California.
The row started with
the reading In the sen¬
ate of letters from
Secretary of State Stimson and Sec¬
retary of the Treasury Mills denying
that Mr. Hoover had given Laval any
such assurance. These denials. Borah
said, were Inconclusive, though It ts
hard to see how they could be more
specific.
Johnson thereupon soundly berated
Borah for bis stand, and satirically
scolded him for not giving the senate
held, political observ¬
ers will be aston
lshed. The Democrats,
In numerical control
0 f t jj e h 0Use _ seem be¬
wildered and uncer
tain; the Republicans
gleefully assist In dis¬
tracting their oppo
nentsnnd complicating
their attempts at leg¬
islation ; the more rad¬
ical members of both
parties slash right and
left and add to the
Senator
Johnson
the “facts” known to him when the
moratorium was before that body In
1931. The exchange of personalities
between the two erstwhile close
friends was acrimonious.
Though Mr. Roosevelt declined to
co-operate with President Hoover on
the war debt question, he Is getting
ready to tackle this and other Inter¬
national matters Immediately aftpr
his inauguration. In pursuance of this
plan he held long conferences in New
York with Secretary Stimson. Col. Ed¬
ward M. House, who Is an authority on
foreign affairs; James W. Gerard,
American ambassador to Germany at
the time the United States entered
the war; Sumner Welles, who was
assistant secretary of state In the Wil¬
son administration, and Senator Swan¬
son of Virginia, one of our delegates
to the disarmament conference.
Over In France there Is a growing
belief that Mr. Roosevelt secretly en¬
gaged himself to a drastic revision of
the war debts, and the public also re¬
fuses to accept Laval’s denial that
President Hoover promised him a re¬
duction.
A S LAID before the senate, the reso
lution for repeal of the Eight¬
eenth amendment was a compromise
between the drys and wets on the
Judiciary committee and satisfied no
one. It Is designed to bar the saloon,
retains for the federal government a
certain amount of control over the
liquor traffic, aims to protect dry
states from Importations of liquor
from wet neighbors, and provides for
submission of the amendment to state
legislatures rather than to special
state conventions. Speaker Garner and
Representative Rainey said the reso¬
lution In that form would not even be
Introduced in the house If It were
passed by the senate, because It does
not conform to the Democratic plat¬
form.
PRESIDENT • message asked HOOVER congress In a to special ratify
the long-pending international arms
convention or to enact legislation at
this session, giving the Chief Execu¬
tive wider powers in placing embar¬
goes op “NfdfhFff*req(tl*!t shipments of arms to belllger
*pm'S. fit tlk#ly to be
granted. Chairman Borah of the sen
nte foreign relations committee has op¬
posed the arms convention for years
and ts still against It, he and others
holding that it would not Interfere
with the enterprises of the greater
powers, but would discriminate against
small nations. Senator Shipstead of
Minnesota said he could approve nei¬
ther plan, nnd some of the Repub¬
licans, notably Representative Ham¬
ilton Fish of New York, declared
themselves against them.
i« IT INGFISH” LONG’S filibuster
against the Glass banking bill
amused a handful of senators and a
lot of visitors in the galleries, but kept
Sen. Glass
Bible and read from Isaiah:
“Woe onto them that Jrtin house to
house, that lay field to field, till there
be no place, that they may be placed
alone in the midst of the earth.”
“Just change that to branch hanks.”
he shouted, "and you’ve got what’ll
happen to the Independent bankers.”
“If yon don't take the house of
Morgan into ct asiderntion,” was an¬
other contribution, “you ain't going to
regulate many hanks with any bill you
pass here. The house of Morgan Is
the undisputed kingfish of the bank¬
ing business.”
Long's plan to end the depression
was characteristic. He would survey
the country, order production to cease
of any product of which there is now
plenty. Issue ten birilon dollars of fed¬
eral bonds for food, clothing, and pub¬ i
lic works, and "just n little capital !
levy” on the rich would pay for all j
of this program.
