However people may differ in their theological definitions of sin, 4 in essence, sin is selfishness.. The cause of much of the world's misery and suffering comes from giving first consideration to one's own personal desires and ambitions with no thought of the considerations of others. There are circumstances in which we sooner or later may experience "to our bitter cost the curse of self-obsession. If a Than would have friends, he must show himself friendly. Selfobsession drives people from us rather than attracts them to us. One may become so absorbed in his own interests that he is calloused to the most urgent human appeals. Complete self-absorption kills the finer impulses and destroys both peace of mind and happiness. "If happiness have not her seat and center in the breast, we may be wise or rich or great, but never can be blessed." " Nervous breakdowns and mental aberrations are frequently due to that state of introversion which results in self-pity and depression. Psychology informs us that this is one of the most difficult mental ailments to cure. Not only does selfiabsorption work havoc with our psychic centers, but it also seriously affects our characters. Self-complacency makes a man so satisfied with himself and his own righteousness that he becomes oblivious to his own faults. And we all have our faults as well as our virtues. Self-righteousness confesses no wrong and therefore, seeks no forgiveness and gives none. Egotism, another form of self-obsession, makes one exaggerate his ahilities and eliminate from the process of serious self-correction his, faults. The egotist is insensible 'to the world's need for full use of all* his talents. A celebrated author would never permit one of his books to rest on his library shelves lest it make him self-satisfied with his ... present achievements. The egotist talks much about his good and great deeds, the hard tasks he has completed, the hardships endured, the victories won. Until people will cease being absorbed in self, there is the need of deliverance from self. But how are we to be delivered from self? That is the question. We are so much a part of ourselves, it is really a difficult matter to put self into one compartment of being that becomes, as it were, the clearing house of all that pertains to selfappraisal and self-progress. One of the surest ways to forget self is to serve others. One can lose himself in the ministry of human need. Find a needy cause worth living for, yes, dying for, if necessary, and we shall find deliverance from self and the obsession of self. OPEN GOLF CHAMP 8S CONGRESSIONAL VIEWS By Congressman Chauncey W.

During the Civil war many recruits enlisted merely to Set the bounty and then deserted. They were called "bounty jumpers." • ^ ployers to petition for an election the same as labor are again being advanced. On the other hand several different devices are being discussed which would put more power in thb hands of the Labor Relations Board in order to force recognition of unions by employers and outlaw present type of resistance to the signing of a union contract by the employer. The administration is using every Hnown device to side-step the issue, but with a prospect of the situation getting worse, it might be compelled to take action. At present, a policy of nonnterference is expected to be continued. • "• Court issue 1930 to 1935, the 11th Congressional District comprising the counties of DuPage, Kane, McHenry, and Will had an increase of 188 tenant fanners for the five year period.

The bill as passed by the House provides for an appropriation of $10,000,000 for next year, $25,000,000 in 1939 and 50 million in 1940, for the purpose making long term federal loans to deserving tenant farmers thereby enabling them to purchase their land.

SPOOK PICTURES rBOM time immemorial, from p generation to generation, there Mure always been honest people pho claimed to have seen ghosts. ja«»d daring the three generations Since photography came into existence people believing in ghosts have mii!n*f,*"w* that, since ghosts have been seen, they can be photoigraphed. i Dven though no ghost believer, [when confronted by one, seems ever jto have had a camera handy to prove jthis claim, speculation on the question has gone so far as to suggest [that, surely, photographic chemistry 'will some day evolve an emulsion i sensitive to the emanations of the 'spirit world. It such there be. The discovery and photographic use oC the Invisible rays of the spectrum, infra-red and ultra-violet, and of x-rays, Orenz rays and other kinds of radiation for which photographic emulsions have been developed, Is pointed to as giving grounds for the speculation, Certainly a fascinating, not to say alarming possibility to contemplate, but meantime, whether or not spooks exist, present day photography has no trouble at all in making synthetic spooks. Behold the spook Illustrated. It is the work of an amateur photographer. How was it made? First, with the camera on a tripod, the door was photographed and the camera jrtiutter closed. Then without the camera's being moved or the film Wound, the ghost walked into the picture, the ghost being a person 4ressed aa such. Then a seeond expoeore was made for ha)! the time given the first exposure.

PAGANMI GEM LOST SINGE 1831 FOUND Unpublished Manuscript Is Discovered by Cobbler. .Parma, Italy. -- A humble shoemaker of this town, ^nacleto Fochi, is responsible for the discovery of the autographed manuscript of an unpublished concert composition by Niccolo Paganmi, one of the greatest violinists of all ages. Jhe existence of this piece was known from Paganini's correspondence, but all trace of it had been lost after the wizard played it at the Paris opera on the evening of March 25, 1831, on the occasion of a memorable concert. According to his biographers, Paganini set to music only nine concerts, of which three never were publishffr. The one just discovered here, which the author called "Fourth Concert in D Minor," was one of these three. Paganini's compositions were among the most difficult tq be inventoried. He disliked greatly to publish them for fear that the publication might cause the curiosity or interest in them to be diminished< Shoemakers Trade Beaks. Parma's shoemaker;' are, by tradition, also small traders old or second hand books. Because 62 large packages of musical compositions, printed and in manuscript, which she had received from descendants of Paganini. The shoemaker gave the woman only 20 lire, or a little more than a dollar, for the two bundles. One day going through the papers, Fochi discovered a declaration datej} 1893 and signed by AchilTe Paganini, a idfi oi tfi? Virtuoso. The declaration Concerned certain FSsejtfcfres by Prof. Romeo Franzosi, until a few years ago a violin teacher in the local music conservatory, by which Franzosi had been entrusted with the revision of Paganini's writings. The conservatory has had Arturo Toscanini among its more illustrious students. Property of the State. Fochi took the declaration and the concert manuscript to Franzosi, who recognized both papers as writings of Paganini and his son. Due to the fact, 'however, that under a government decision Paganini's manuscripts were state property and hence not to be sold in Italy or abroad except to the Italian state, Franzosi advised Fochi to take the composition to the management of the city Conservatory.

Price shot the animal out of a tree, and it fell into the backwaters of White river, and sank hi four feet of water. Price told his dogs to get the coon, and both animals swam to the point where it sank, circled the place, and swam back to land. The hunter sent the dogs back a second time, and again they circled the place. A third time Price told his dogs to get the coon, and this time one of the dogs dived at the point where the coon sank, and retrieved the body. It swam to the bank with the dead coon.
