Psychologists have never explained nnd perhaps never wilf'explain the peculiar twist of human nature which sends myriads of morbidly curious to the scenes of great disasters, to Scenes of suffering. ..News from Bath, Mich., manifestation of this inexplicable' complex. The residents of that little community are all too eager to forget the May time tragedy in which a maniac placed bombs in the public school and caused the deaths of over forty children, but swarms of sightseers, insatiably hungry for emotionalism, sweep into the city on all occasions and will not let the mourning forget. Whittling fragments from timbers of the wrecked school building, carrying off loose bricks, prying even into the houses of those families whose children were killed or in jured in the explosion, the fly-minded curious give the poor people of Bath no peace, no chance to recover from the dee) hurts of grief, . What type of mentality is it that thus glories in the .misery of others and gloats over horror with avidity? It is not a type of mentality which is peculiar to any one section of the country. . Even the New England tomb of Pres ident Coolidge's youiig son John was all but chipped away by the souvenir-mad tourists; There are many homes which no doubt boast of fragments from the San Francisco earth quake. Belies soaked in blood are held more precious than riches. ;' . , To read that there are, in this advanced age, people who still delight in such barbarity is enough to make even the most hopeful of prophets despair for humanity. Believers in the literal truth of the Bible grant the world an age of some G000 years. In 6000 years, it at times ap pears that humanity has gone backwards." Certainly the demonstrations of the sightseers in Bath is evidence of savagery as inhuman as any rite practiced by ancient bar barians. - ' - v The child today who dolights in torturing cats and dogs is considered sub-normal, yet his abnormalities are no lower than those displayed by the pilgrims to Bath who torture the Survivors of Andrew Kehoe's insanity, , - ' The Federal 'Department of Agriculture's highway bureau is now at work putting up its uniform system ol! rOad markers to replace the hodgepodge fingerposts of confusion which could be found whon each separate bailiwick marked its own cowpaths in its own distinct and individual manner. The department of commerce, apparently, is to pravont any , such mixup in the tacking up of aerial signposts, for from the bureau of aeronautics in Washington there have been Bent to all chambers of commcrco instructions for a uniform system of marking aerial routes and designating the direc tion and distances to airports. In putting up these aerial signposts, the departir.cnt should have the fullest -coopcra- , tion of every community. Fliers going over unfamiliar country have recently complained that their .only way of making sure of their location was to fly low over towns and pick up the name from signs on railroad stations. This is ' hazardous for pilots and villagers alike, and definite airway markings will reduce the risks of flying considerably. The costly business of remarking overy road in the country is excusable and explainable cn the ground that the problem was new and unforeseen, but there is no need for making the same mistake in charting the air. If there be yet scoffers who doubt that our civilization is moving at breakneck clip, ho has but to learn that knitting mills now rival the weekly magazines in the speed with which fabric designs must be kept abreast of current news. When a favorite movie star dies, the cotton mills must have a special weave and design of fabric on the market before . the body gets decently chilled in the grave. When a race horse becomes a national hero by repealed triumphs on turf or track, the designers must turn out a cloth bearing a woven head of this same nag. Six days after Lindbergh took off for Paris, the mills were turning out "Welcome Home," and "Airway" prints. Ten years ago, looms used to turn out fabrics six and eight months ahead of the season. Today, this season's fabrics are out of stylo berore the season arrives. Idol-smashers have been busier than ever in the recent years which have seen an increased popular interest in biography. You may read, for instance, in some of the moat recent biographies of George Washington, that lie was rath er a common person, mediocre, somowlmj illiterate and de void of real greatness. Against such conceptions of Wash ington there are many arguments, but perhaps one of the most significant is the characterization of him by Patrick Henry, who sat with him in the Virginia House of Burgesses. "Washington," said Henry, "was, for .solid information and sound judgment, the greatest man in the assembly." After all, Patrick Henry really knew the man and saw him in aulion- ' i . t.S!'SJ o .

Editor of The Congregationaliat David, whatever may have been his faults, was a man of keen practicality and perception. , His impulses and (he temptations as sociated wiiu them often swept him away from his better instincts and purposes. But, unlike many pejple in the modern world, he did not keep his religion and tho rest of his Hfo In separate com partments, hi his best moods he reaiized the nature of his sins, and lie deplored them. The hypo crlte, or the man whose religion lacks perception, keeps his sinful ness In a separate compartment and Is never greatly worried be cause of some discrepancy bo tweeu his practice and his profes sion. Thero aro people who do not seem to notice that they live in line and beautiful houses, while the church that they attend is shabby and disreputable. Often those who spend th0 most upon themselves and upon their homes are least' wiling to spend upon making tho church clean, beauti ful a iu! attractive. David Wanted Temple David was troubled Uiat he dwelt in a house or cedar while the Ark or the Covenant was still in a tent. It did not seem to him fitting that that which symbolized the presence of God should be less worthily housed than himself. So tiiere came to him the idea of building a temple. It seemed a worthy Idea, and tbe man who ori ginated it naturally ougnt to have beea tiie man to carry it out. JJut God is represented as opposing the fulfillment by David of thete plans and the postponement of the building of the temple until it shall be built by one of David's sons. . How did this revelation come? Nathan the prophet at first ap- proved of David's plan, and then, we are told that the same night : the word of God came to Nathan. How did the word of God come to men of old? Was it through a dream, or was It in some such way as the word of God comes to men today by reflection upon God's purposes? We must remember that in reading the Bible we are constantly in the atmosphere of eastern Imagery and expression. To road It with a llteralistlc, pro saic mind is to miss alike Its background and its significance. Nathan that David .

Irrespective of tho merits or do merits in this case, the prevention of reproduction of their kind by J the insano, tho confirmed crook, the mental blanks who crowd pub lic institutions and congest court lockots, Is a proper public func tion. If there were no other reason, this Is enough: That every child has a right to Mt birth. Heredity is a fixed and important influence in reproduction. No pi: rent has a right to bring Into the world a child doomed from birth to an im possible and pitiful life. Society as aa whole owes that protection to children. If parents haven't brains enough to understand this obliga tion that they themselves owe tne child, it Is the public's business to interfere. Wo insist on good birth for sheep, hogs and cattle.

Now Is came to pass, as David sat in his house, that David said to Nathan the prophet, Lo, I dwell In an house of Cedars, but the ark of the covenant of the Lord remaineth under curtains. Then Nathan said unto David, Do all that Is in thine heart; for God Is with thee. And It came to pass the same night, that the word of God came to Nathan, saying, Go and tell David my servant, Thus salth the Lord, Thou shalt not build me an house to dwell in: For I have not dwell In an house since the day that I brought up Israel unto, this day; but have gone from tent to tent, and from one tabernacle to another. Wheresoever I have walked with all Israel, spake I a word to any of the judges of Israel, whom I commanded to feed my people, saying) Why have ye not built hie an house of cedars? Now therefore thus Bhalt thou say unto my servant David, Thus salth the Lord of hosts, I took thee from the sheepcote, even from fol lowing the sheep, that thou shouldest be ruler over my people Israel; And I have been with thee whithersoever thou hast walked, and have cut off all thine enemies from beforo thee, and have made thee a iiMirifa lilfP Ihn tifliriA nf lha Croat man Also I will ordain a place for my people Israel, and will plant thetn, and they shall dwell in their place, and shall be moved no more; nelth - er shall the children of wickedness waste them any more, as at the beginning. .

It is worth while to meditate upon this distinction so long ago expressed, for tho distinction is nut always by tiny means clearly marki'd In our modorn life, and In the obscuring of tha distinction lies tho great weakness in relation to (ho problems and prospects ot world peace. Tho slmplo matter of fact la that church and school have been ultcgether too largely exploited In connection with military things. It would be a profound gain if these institutions that inherently have to do with peace and civili zation could be kept free from tho desecrating environments of war and bloodshed. For we niUBt not forget that war- Is bloodshed. It Is the terrible business of kil ling, and as such it Is opposed lo all the finer Instincts ol' man as well aa to the decrees ot God. When Force Is Justified ' The fact that even war and kil ling may be sometimes uecessary to prevent some deeper evil does not alter the truth and value ot these considerations. In tact, it only does a great deal more to ob scure the distinction which this an cient writer recognized as so im portant. We would justify the use of force iu restraining a sick person who was in delirium. The average man would shoot dow,n ' even his own brother if Unit brother hi a fit of madness wore endangering the other members of the family and that were the only way lo deal with the situation. ' There aro times when war and force be necessary, but it makes great difference whether we regard them in the light' iu which wo would regard the use of force In these cases specified or whether from justifying them in extreme cases of necessity we come lo dress them up in tlngeT an1 glory.
