" H a s i t ever occu r red to you t h a t t h e r e is a la rge class of persons in the wor ld t h a t do nol) ca re w h a t Jesus would do?"

" I d o n ' t be l ieve in t h e a c c u r a c y of t lm q u e s t i o n ; " said , t i le author of t h e book. " T h e very f a c t t h a t l~herc arc so m a n y in( luir ies as to w h e t h e r t h e r e is such a class d i sproves t h e assmnp- t i (m. ~'

" I I e r e is a n o t h e r frtmt a n e w s p a p e r i nan :

" W o u l d you say thaf i c h r i s t i a n i t y is a fai lure , s ince a f t e r 1800 y e a r s y o u r p r e a c h i n g fails to have any effect on so m a n y persons? ~

",I t used to be asked, ' Is m a r r i a g e a f a i lu re , ' said Mr. She ldon . "S(m]e m a r r i a g e s are fa i lures , b u t t he sys- tClll iS no f a i l u r e . "

A n o t h e r que, s t ion f rom t h e sc r ibe was:

" I n i n t e r n a t i o n a l affa, irs, wou ld no t l le d o c t r i n e of 'turn t h e o i l i e r c h e e k also' cause the annillllatlon of any lIILti (,)n? ' '

I t was no'~ long before t l le assemblage, perhaps inspired by i;llc source of the first questAon, began to dis(:uss t im newspapers. Somebody got up and put the query w h e t h e r sucl~ a newspaper as is ~reated of in the professor's Ix)ok would succeed. The professor appeared to surprise t l le in a l i t t l e w h e n h e f lat ly sa id :

KATZVILLE, MICHIGAN Mr. E d i t o r : - - E v e r since a child I

lmve looked upon t.l'le cow wi th reve- rential awe. I t used to be as good as going to a circus, to s tand behind the fence and watch her go bellowing by pursrmd by another of i rate nature.

I t was rare sport for us to watch her eat the daisy with a bumble-bee in i t and see her lash her tail in s u b l i m e fury as slm tore across the field to get raider a shade tree to cool off.

I t was grand sport to see her chase tl~e dog around l,he barnyar4 and, after .having impaled him on her horns, toss him gc, nt ly on a pile of corn cobs.

liut, alas: youth beaut i ful y o u t h , thou art fled and we r emember thee only in mem¢~ry, which is like a frog in win te r - - ahnost dead bu t still alive needing only the sunshine of former days 1,o quicken it:, into active life.

Yes, those were happy moments wlmn we used to seat ourselves on the gale posl~ of the cow pasture and wi th a goose quill stllek ill ~L C(]W~S horll~ wafted in mellow strains, over hill and dale an i ln i ta ted blea~ing of a thou- sand calves in the throes of death.

Th(:y are g(me, all gone, the merry days of childhood and we may never again be permi t ted to lead a cow through a mud-puddle or c lhnb up a sapling t() get oul) of tlle reach of her horns.

The c.w, t rea t her well and never cxc, llange her for t he t)est kinds of pulnps~ you e~tll then go to yotlr grave holmred by all who ever boughl; a mug of milk of yr)u.
