the man with the troubled look, look

got myself into an awkward fix just
trying to be agreeable and to please ev-

a great deal of her, but wish she
would be more sensible. Girl friend OF
hers was there. and it was her first
visit since she'd sent crazy looking,

He was hungry. Before he finished
his mornings work he consulted his
watch with frequency born of gas
tronomic longing. The perfume of
Hamburger steak waited through the
Office window from an adjacent Ger
man restaurant convinced him that he
would not hunt long for place to get
luncheon. Once out of the office, how
ever, the old indecision returned. The

taurants to the right of him, restau-
rants to the left of him; signs in big
letters told of the joys of living. He
passed them by. Cafes, three to a
block, told him where he could dine
like a prince on anything from roast
beef to canvasback duck.
What did he do? He rushed into a
dairy lunch room.
"Give me ham sandwich and cup
of coffee.'' he cried to the waiter. 1T

ITO what one thing. to what two or

A CULVER OF ARROWS: Characteristic ser
mons by James Burrell.
These are sermon sketches, after the
manner of Robertson's sermons They
are not complete discourses and are taken
probably from extensive notes which have
been prepared for the pulpit. They rep
resent textual, expository, topical, doc
trtnal, biographical, ethical sociological
and anniversary sermons. The most read
able, naturally, to the average man are
the biographical and ethical sermons. Tho
two sermons on sociology are entitled
''The Church and the Saloon" and "The
Sunday Newspaper" The reason the
other sermons are not Of commanding in
terest is because the author is almost
ultra conservative In some of his doc
trinal conclusions. He says, referring to
Jonah and the whale, "It is the fashion
to make light of the story of Jonah and
the whale as a fable" and then proceeds
to establish the genuineness of Jonah 1T
is enough to say that any man who in
sists dogmatically upon the historical ac-
count Of Jonah and the whale will not
be widely read by the people. Referring
to the religious newspaper he says IRE
