HIS WELCOME FOR PRODiGAL
Cowboy Would Have Reversed Pro-
ceedines as Recorded In the
Scriptures.

Judge Ben B. Lindsey of the famous
Denver juvenile court said in the
course of recent address in char
ity:
"Too many of us are inclined to
think that, one misstep made, the boy
Is gone for good. Too many of us are
like the cowboy.
An itinerant preacher preached to
cowboy audience on the 'Prodigal
Son. He described the foolish prodi-
gals extravaganza and dissipation; he
described his penury and his husk-
eating with the swine in the sty; he
described his return, his fathers low
ing welcome, the rejoicing. and the
preparation of the fatted calf
The preacher in his discourse no
ticed cowboy staring at him very
hard. He thought he had made con
vert. and addressing the cowboy per
sonally, he said from the pulpit:
MY dear friend, what would you
have done If you had had prodigal
son returning home like that?'
Met said the cowboy, promptly
and fercely. I'd have shot the boy
