BIBLE THOUGHT FOK TODAY
For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto
the Father. Ephesians 2:18,
. A Sunday Revival
A fund of $25,000 is being raised in Portland by the sale
of stock certificates to build a tabernacle for Billy Sunday
for his seven weeks revival campaign scheduled for Septem
ber. The shares are one dollar each "par value, ines
timable' for the saving of souls -is contingent on the spend
ing of dollars.
Let us see how "inestimable" the value of Billy Sunday
hysteria is to a community. We quote Dr. William House,
Portland alienist, who in an address at the Oregon .Social
Workers association Tuesday said:
"The visit of nuch men as Billy Sunday to a city docs far greater
damage than It does good. After euch a visit psychiatric patients de
velop in large numbers and we have ft deluge of new easea. From the
scientific standpoint reitgiouH crank, drug aaaicut ana people suner
Intr from alcoholism are in the same :1;ikh. Thev are all seeking to
satisfy their emotional natures; they merely takie different means of
doing so. Religion or the limy Hun day type ts irrational lanaucism
baaed on emotions. My feeling is one of fear toward the man who jeets
hia religion over night."
A religious spree, and that is a good name for the Sunday
jamboree, is all right occasionally for those of robust men
tality, just as a husky man can survive an occasional jag,
but how about the half-baked and the half-witted, that such
dissipations throw clear off the trolley? The asylums are
full of them.
As to the permanancy of "conversions" resulting from
the acrobatic antics and cataclysm of slang of this hell roar-!
ing denouncer of the devil they also are subject to ques-,
tion. The back-sliding begins as soon as Sunday banks his
profits and leaves for his palatial mansion to winter in the!
sunshine state.
"Cynthia dear, will you be very
late?"
"Ijate?" echoed Cynthia,.' bowil
dered. 1
Ve for toaellag bridge, yon
know. We're waiting for you."
. "Oh oh why, that's tomor
row. Isn't it?" Cynthia reached for
her engagement book, scanned It
hastily. "1 have it down for tomor
row.
"i can't understand why the
party is today. I didn't phone to
remind you, because lately I've felt
ilittl you didn't like my doing so,;
but really, if you're going to bungle
things of this sort this party is
la your honor " . . -
"Oh, I'll come at once." Cynthia
groaned a she hung up the receiv
er and ran to her bedroom. Now
the was in for it! How Mrs. Le
lnnd would talk and talk' about
this! Jim would feel that fie had
to reprove his wife for making a
mistake about this party given
by his elder sister for her.
'I might better have committed
murder; they wouldn't have cared
as she brushed her hair with lone
ft whit more if I had," beiriigfied,

another son, just out of. high
s:nooi, win fatudy law
Are you tempted to offer your
services in the Tennessee evolu
tion case?" tho senator was asked.
He chuckled. "My father was
a preacher, ' he replied, "but ,1'm
sure he wasn't a fundamentalist
in the sense that the term Is now
used. He was a liberal type of
Chr!tian man.
This led to the subject of Bryan
Bryan led the conversation to
Florida, and logically the next
question wa: "What do you think
or the Florida plan of barring In
come and Inheritance taxes."
"I believe It Is all right," n
swsred the senator. "It seems to
be working out that way at any
rata."
'Would tlic same plan be a good
thing for Oregon?"
The senator was a bit cautious
In his reply. "I think it would
be zll right if there are other ways
to rfuse revenue, ho said.
But the senator did not urge
adoption of the Dennis amendment
in Oregon. He observed that taxa
tion Is justified only as a means
of raising necessary revenues, and
should not le for the purpose of
punishing men either for their
riches or their poverty. Senator
Shortrldge Is more opposed' to In
heritance taxes than Incomes taxes
and believes that congress in the
nep.r future will remove the fed
eral inuerltince tax. He does not
look for this at the next session
Aut does expect the next sefslon to
cut taxes to a considerable de
gree pursuant to no policies now
being advocated by President cooi
idgc.
Sci.ator Shortrldge Is a member
of several important senate com
mittees and his trip north was for
the purposo of inspecting tiio

ports, for he it a member of the

mation to be held later in the sum
nier in Los Angeles.
The California senator com
mented on the beauty of Salem
and the W illamette valley. He re
marked that when he left here .in
a boy the foundation of the pres
ent capitol was just appearing
above the ground. Someone tried
to fool the senator about the old
East Salem school building, now
the Washington school, when they
went to vis't the building yester
day.
"That isn't the building I was
janitor In," declared Shortridge.
'It must be,' replied his com
panion, "for that is the old East
Salem school. "
"Nope," persisted Shortridga,
"that Isn't it. It's too big. I
couldn't have tat en care of that
building."
Inquiry proved that the senator
was correct. The old school was
removed some years ago and the
present ' building installed in its
place.

A Bobber a Barber ?
The all important question as to whether hair-bobbing
is barbering has been decided in the affirmative by the
Chancery Court of New Jersey though the question "does it
beautify?" is left open by the wise judge. In his ruling the
chancellor cited the old testament and the dictionary and the
ancient custom of cupping and then ruled that a beauty par
lor where bobbing was practiced, was really a barber shop,
but refused to say whether a bobber was necessarily a bar
ber. The word barber is derived from the Latin root, barba,
meaning beard and as the dictionary defines the word bar
ber as "one wlio makes a business of shaving and trimming
the beard and cutting and dressing the hair" the court held
bobbing necessarily barbering, and that "the bobbing of
ladies hair a distinct and important part of the business of a
modern barber shop, as much as cupping was a branch of
the business in ancient times.
Whether or not bobbing as applied to the lovlier sex, is
really a beautifying process and therefore belongs in a beau
ty parlor, the court refuses to say, evidently having doubts,
as he says: .
"Thoro nro still conic iiUl-fnshlnned peopla who Insist tlint the
hall- Is woman's orownitiK Klnry nnd that ns Samson was illvestotl of
his fltronirlh when shorn of his limits liy DrlllHh, so Is woman rniwea
of her pruwnlnK Rlry. Irriwpprtivc of wliothor this oncrntlon to per
fornioil In an ordinary barber shop or In a modern beauty pnrlor, evpn
though for tho word 'parlor Is suhfllltnted tho modorn appellation
'shopne.' Hut It Is not necpssary to tho disposition of this case that I
decide and I rftfraln from such decision."
So, in Jersey at any rate, barber is a bobber even if a
bobber be not a barber.
