right across the course of a river, do
you think that river would stop?
What ridiculous question, you say?

Last Halloween n church in our town
held a Haloween party. 1t was not
held in the vestry. but in the home or
one OF the parishioners. It was under
the auspices of one of the church So
cieties and was, of course. a clean. iol-
~. wholesome party. A great many
young people from the whole naighbor-
hood attended. Instead of being on
the streets or at less carefully con-
Quoted gatherings, these young people
had the right sort of good time un-
der the guidance of the church itself.

it was extremely interesting and not

he produced laughter when he said
that at one time scientists were wont
to acclaim long heads q sign Of high

but when they found that the Zulus

say that the greatest question that the
country has to deal with today is
