SHOWDOWN IN
BONUS FIGHT
IS POSTPONED
Leaders Fear Defeat
And Fall Back On
Political Tricks To
Battle Veto
WASHINGTON, May 10. —(**>—
Delaying the final struggle until
next week, bonus leaders plunged
Saturday into a week-end effort
to marshal every ounce of their
strength in a last-minute effort to
save the Patman new currency
bill from defeat.
Methods that proved so potent in
defeating the world court protocols
were called into play as veterans'
leaders sought to deluge the capi
tol and the White House with a
million or more telegrams from
supporters.
President Roosevelt made no
pronouncement, though he con
ferred with fiscal advisers in what
was generally regarded as a move
to marshal statistics for a veto on
the $2,000,000,000 bill. He did not
mention the word “bonus'' In a
greeting he sent Thursday night to
St. Louis, where the convention
committee for the forthcoming
1936 American Legion conclave was
In session.
“War veterans are and should be
Interested in the welfare of the
country as a whole," he said. "Our
constant objective is to care for
the disabled, the sick and destitute.
American Legionnaires and the
veterans of all wars support this
national policy.”
In some quarters this was re
garded as echoing the idea the
president expressed at Roanoke,
Va.. some time ago in an address
generally interpreted as a stand
against full and immediate pay
ment of the bonus.
The inflationary bill, which has
passed both houses of congress,
remained bottled up in the senate
while its backers sought support.
Private senate polls had indicated
that a veto would be sustained pos
sibly by as many as five or six
votes.
SUNDAY SCHOOL
LESSON
Text: Matt 28:19. 20; Acte 8:26-39
The International Uniform Sun
day School Lesson for May 19.
• • •
BY WM. E. GILROY, D. D.
Editor of Advance
The passage constituting the
major pan of this lesson on baptism
has been the occasion in days gone
by of much very serious and none
too friendly controversy.
I remember how, in the little
town where I grew up, the Meth
odist minister and the Baptist
minister were much of the time on
quite unfnendly terms and engaged
to a rather unholy controversy over
the amount of water to be used in
Cnristlau baptism, the manner of
using it, and those to whom it
ahouid be applied.
The warfare betwreen those who
favored immersion and those who
favored sprinkling, and between the
advocates of infant baptism and ol
the baptism only of adult converts,
has been a notable and none too
noble warfare in religious history.
• • •
There was a time when such con
troversial attitudes tended to make
baptism almost more important
than conversion. Today we have
come to a saner view, and most
Christians would say that the im
portant thing is the transforma
tion of one's life by the power of
Christ, and not the outward sign
or symbol by which that transform
ation is acknowledged before the
world.
In both passages in the lesson
baptism manifestly was consequent
upon disciple&hip. The disciples of
Jesus were commissioned to make
disciples of all nations, “baptizing
them in the name of the Father,
and of the Son. and of the
Holy Spirit,” and both discipleship
and baptism were associated with
the teaching of men to observe the
commandments of Jesus.
The story of Philip and the
Ethiopian might be regarded as a
case study, and a very interesting
case, in fulfillment of this commis
sion that Jesus gave the disciples.
• • •
When Philip found this eminent
Ethiopian sitting in his chariot and
reading the Scriptures, he sought
that Christian contact thiough
which so many influences have come
into the lives of men. In a gracious
and kindly way he approached the
Ethiopian, inquiring whether he
understood what he read.
It must have been with no sug
gestion of superiority or offensive
cess. for the Ethiopian responded
at once to his question, and ap
parently perceiving that he was in
the presence of one who was able
to teach him, he replied. "How can
I, except someone shall guide me?"
And he invited Philip to come and
ait beside him.
What a great lesson it must have
been, as Philip, expounding the pas
sage in Isaiah, "preached unto him
Jesus.' The Ethiopian was as de
cisive in action as he was wise in
spirit. Philip had evidently told
him concerning Christian baptism,
and when they came to water the
eunuch said. "Behold, here is water,
what doth hinder me to be baptiz
ed?”
We wish that we had a sequel to
the story, in which we might follow
the course of grace In the life of this
eminent man from the south. If
we had it. we might discover how
much this Ethiopian’s influence may
have had to do with the building of
the church in its early days in the
Dark Continent.

rains of last week. With Irom three
to live inches of rainfall in three
