induce the ladies to remove their hats in

follows; May we rot relieve our pastor
of the unpleasant duty of asking for the
removal of hats by doing it without ask

Professor W. S. Day, who for more
than twenty years has been a member
Of the faculty of the San Francisco
Theological seminary, is being tried for
heresy, because he does not believe the
story that Jonah was swallowed by a
whale, and remained alive in its belly
three days and nights. -Atchison Globe.
Probably Prof. Day would not have
believed in the Nutriola advertisements
which held out the lure of 1920 for ST.;
or in the Belgian hare advertisements
which promised an income of $1,000 a
year. And his unbelief would have saved
his money. 1t pays sometimes to be an
unbeiev5r.
