Mr. Roosevelt formally receiving his
Judicial oppositionists which made
everyone, including the president,
smile more Chan usual.
. The six brave Justice shuttled
through the blue room into the red
President and Mrs. Roosevelt were
waiting there to shake hands. As
the Justices approached, two allowed
their left hands to remain In their
pants pockets, a natural thing with
men In full dress.
Secret service men approached
them, tapped their trousers gently
and lifted their hands out of their
pockets. The movement waa so swift
that the two Justices did not know
what had happened, until thev rea
lised with horror that they were po
' aibiy suspected or having weapons
in their pockets.
First they turned the color of the
blue room, and then the red, and
wound up in the green. They were
furious, and' still are, although
neither haa said a word out loud.
Presidential guards have a rule that
no one 'be permitted to approach the
president with a hand concealed. This
1st a precautionary outgrowth of the
MoKlnley experience. McKinley a as
salient did not have hla . hands In
his pockets, but he concealed a wea

hesvy bandages.
The quick frisking of distinguish
sd White House guests la carried out
with such dexterity that few except
the guests realise what haa happened
' to them. No one knows whether the
president wes aware of It on this
occasion.
The rule la not generally enforced
against guests known to or trusted
by the secret service men. They have
been known to qulck-frlsk In fun.

"The Journey Prom Paganism to
Christianity by Way of Greece,"
was the subject of an interesting
address presented by Rev. K. 8.
Bsrtlsm before the Medford Rotary
club today at the meeting of that
organization at the Hotel Medford.
A targe attendance of Rotarlans,
their wives and guests 'thoroughly
enjoyed the discussion of the origin
snd progress of Christianity from
the ages of paganism. Included in
the audience were a number of
Rotarlana from Oranta Pass.
Reverend Bartlam opened his re
marks with a brief outline of the
humble beginning and development
of religion, explained the differ
encea between paganism and Chrlst
lsnlty and explained the essential
contributions of Greek Life to
Chrlatlanlty. "There has always been
progression in religion, never retro
gression" the spesker pointed out,
after which he outlined the funda
mental motives for this progression
and the complexity of religion
itself.
Spirit worship, nature and fer
tility worship and the beliefs of
the msny cults were described by
Rev. Bsrtlsm. The Arayan horde,
he aald. mingled with the original
inhabitants of Greece, bringing with
them a new type of religion the
worship of the sky, beauty and life
Itself. The speculative thought of
these people brought a desire for
an explanation of the riddle of life.
Christianity gave to falling pagan'
Ism, with all of Its slavery and dls-
pslr, a new force and hope.
In summing up the Greek con'
trlbutlons to Christianity, the love
and glorification of Life with an
eaaernuss for nerfectlon was first
mentioned by Rev. Bsrtlsm. Dlvln
ttles were made especlslly personal
living persons, in fact, the apeax
aald. The fundamental oreea
idea of thinking through, clearly
to logical conclusions, grestiy In
fluenced the acceptance and spread
of Christianity.
