ppinlon and order granting an in~
gunction in behalf of the Remington

quires an accounting and payment

1924, during which there were fif-
teen days of testimony. with two
days of argument on February 9 and
10, 1925. The opinion comprises

tion involved the critical review by
the Judge of more than six volumes

chines. devices for clearing sub-

analysis of the mechanism of the

Thomas concludes that the Reming-

have adopted those devices‘in viola-

'wsrxtr SUNDAY scuoor LESSON
By WM. E. GILROY, D. D.
Hitter of The Congregationalist
Tradition makes the James in
early church. who is supposed to
have written this Epistle, the bro-
ther of Jesus. But there were sev-
eral of the name of James. and the
authorship of the Epistle is uncer-
tain. ‘
That he was a man of some emi-
nence and authority seems evident.
as he speaks in the terms of one
accustomed to give admonition and
counsel.
That he was worthy to be such
a loader is equally evident. for he
displays a fine spirit of practical
wisdoms and discriminating Judg-
ment. His Epistle breathes the
spirit of pure Christian democracy.
The "man with the. gold ring" is
nothing more to him that the low-
llest disciple in the church. He
warns the Christians against out-
ward show and worldly distinctions,
and he defines religion in terms of
actual conduct in daily life.
A Clear Vision.
To get away from the bickerings
of last lesson over questions of cir-
cumcision and similar matters to
the emphasis of this Epistle on the
religi of sound relations to one's
fellowmen is like ascending to
mountain atmospheres from foul
and swampy places. Here in James
is the religion of clear vision and
plain sense.
Religion exercises first of all a
wholesome restraint. It brings life
under discipline.
is very important when he is living
with others. .
“The tongue." s'ays James. “can
no man tame." But the tongue can
be guarded with Christian grace
and watchfuiness. So James says.
“Be swift to hear. slow to speak.
slow to wrath." '
That is sound practical philoso-
phy as well as good religion. The
following of that advice would have
saved individuals from much suf-
fering and loss and the world from
interminable tragedies.
In the problem of saving the
.world from war. as well as in the
matter of personal strife. the les-
sons of courtesy. patience and for-
bearance must be learned. The
swashbuckling. competent- fellow.
always asserting himself and speak-
ing his mind. always confident in
his ability to take care of himself.
Is responsible, for much of the
world's unfortunate situation at
the present hour.
, We have all a. great deal to learn
from James in the business of
guarding our words.
Cleanliness of Soul.
Equally important is cleanliness
of soul. It is only to the meek that
God's will and ways are revealed:
and it is in the practice of religion
that one tests and discovers its
truth.
Not to he a door of the word
is to fail to understand it. or to get
only a passing impression. A man
who professes or preaches what he
does not practice is like a. person ’
who looks in a looking-glass

State Employes Must
Pay Own Expenses
HARTFORD, Aug. 1,—(AP). At-
torney General Frank E. Healy‘has
given a verbal bpinion to the state
comptroller‘s office that employee of
the state under the rank of com-
missioner or head of department
should not be allowed their travel-
ling expenses such as are allowed to
those who live outside this city. The
ruling of the attorney-general will
affect alarge number on the pay-
roll of the state. The attorney—gener-
nl. himself. though he has an appro-
priation of 82.000 for expenses con-
fines his bill of expenses to the ex~
penditures which he incurs in the
business of the state such as going
to other cities to represent the state
in the trial of cases.
Some state officials come from
their homes in the country and stay
at hotels in the city at the expense
of the state while others charge
their meals to the state. Under the
ruling of the attorney-general this
custom must cease.

soon forgets uhal. he looks like.
So James says that it matters lit-
lie what one seems to be. One may
make the greatest show and pre-
tence of religion. but if one's life
is not disciplined by love all pro—
fession of religion is vanity.
And this he enforces by summing
up practical religion in the closing
verse of our lesson. which has be-
come known as one of the greatest
of all definitions:
"l'urc religion and undefilcd be-
fore God and the Father it this. To
visit the fathcrless and the widows
in their afflction, and to keep him-
self unspotted from the world."
Of course in this definition James
is not making religion merely a for-
mal thing. consisting of certain out-
ward acts. lie is indicating the
sort of expression that. true religion
inevitably finds. and his Epistle'suf—
ficently emphasizes the fact that re-
Ilgion is a. matter of lilo heart.
TEXT: James 1:10-27.
Wherefore. my beloved brethren.
let every man be swift to hear. slow
to speak. slow to wrath:

not the righteousness of God.

NASHUA. N. H.. hug. 1.--(AP)
The story of how two aged sisters
were battered to death with stove
wood sticks in order that their slay-
ers. one a boy of fifteen. might
share their il‘le estate. was told yes-
terday by Louis Labombarde. of
Merrimack. in the cottage in Hud-
son where the bodies of Helen and
Georgisnna Gillis were found a
week ago.
Lad Responsible.
Labombarde who had been under
questioning since Thursday in con-
nection with the murders broke
down and admitted that he and his
young brother-in-law. Charles Le
Febvre. who was employed as a
choore boy by the Gillis sisters. were
responsible for the crime.
Labombarde was brought to
Nashua. immediately and locked up
on the formal charge of murder-
Young Ls liebvre. who has been
questioned repeatedly since the
murders were discovered. also was
arrested and brought here.
With stombarde when he told
his story were Martin W. Fitz-
patrick. clerk of the Municipal court.
officer James Merrill of Hudson and
Attorney Anthony Joyce. After
some minutes of questioning on the
scene of the crime the witnesses
reported. stpmbude dropped to
his knees and exclaimed
‘ "We killed them."
Were Fond of Lad.
According to th eatery told by
Labombards. Charles Ls Febvre
told him that the Gillis sisters were
fond of him and had promised to
will him their home andthsir money
when they died. Le Febrvs suggest-
ed that he and Labombards kill the
old women and divide the money,
the confession continued. and La-
bombarde agreed.

his home in Merrimac. N. H. on
