"We have got to revise our attitude toward menial labor and learn to hold all phases of work, if it needs to be done and is good for the world, as sacred and holy. "Means Onr End" "It is my firm belief," he added "that if we do not accept this gospel in this country, it means our end as a nation."

The finding of the burned car was the only tangible clue developed by the day's activities.

The machlnei was lodged between two boulders on a lonely mountain road, nine miles northeast of here.

Personal belongings, including a safety, razor, also were found, together with several rings. New York license tags 466-007 were found near the car.

The. finding of the automobile, which state police said had been sprinkled with gasoline before being set afire, brought to light evidence which police believe classifies the former occupant.
