Once upon time there was theatrical
manager who had aspirations beyond his
station. He longed to be a really, truly
editor. Finally, one day, he decided to
issue a paper of his own and with that
decision a great peace settled upon his
soul, for his ambition was about to be
realized.
At last the paper appeared. In it
there was an altered biography of GER
tain local celebrity whose patronymic
was johnson and who, this near-editor
declared, was lineal descendent of ben
Johnson, lHe ulCtlOnAry Hldn.
Now, as matters of fact, Rare Ben"
never wrote a dictionar:- in his life; he
never spelled his name with an aitch; he
never married and he never had any
lineal descendants. Samuel johnson.
however did publish a dictionary which,
perhaps accounts for the near-editorial
inaccuracy.
The incident is unimportant save as 1t
serves to illustrate great difference be-
tween the lay and editorial mind Take
the American dictionary. for instance.
1t was written by Webster. There were
two of them, Daniel and Noah. Now the
lay mind. more familiar with Daniels
fame might well hazard the opinion that
he and none other was the dictionary
man; while the editorial mind, presup-
posing a lamentable forgetfulness of so
stern a fact, would have avoided the
issue-perhaps through skillfully
couched allusion to "a famous animal
man of biblical history" That goes both
ways, you see, and of course 1t isn't at
all necessary to specify whether the
animal man. gained his reputation in
den of lions or in the ark.
All of which is prayerfully submitted
for Editor John Blackwood's careful con-
eideration.

1.-THE divinity and humanity OF Christ
were inseparable,' said he, ''and we cannot

us that He was in all respects human and
through that humanity He understood US

-companionship does not imply bodily prox-
Unity. People may live together In the
same home for years and not know the
first principle OF companion ship.

semane was His severest struggle. Our
severest struggles we must fight out ali

the cup might pass from Him. In His
