LAUGHTER PLEASING TO GOD
Nowhere In Biblical Lore Can There
Be Found lntimstion Of Any
Other Idea.

We misiudge and distort the nor
mally human nature Of the Saviour
when we picture him going through
life, as Dante did after he had writ
ten his Inferno" with the shadows
Of perdition on his brow. We may
gravely question when 1t was that the
cross began to darken our Lords
pathway; there Is no hint Of such
a foreboding until we reach the mid
die of his ministry. From that on
there are occasional tokens that he
saw Calvary ahead Of him. and was
at times pressed down with a dread
full sense OF the inevitable agony
which awaited him at the end. But
all this is very far from sffording any
reasonable ground for the conclusion
that he smiled sometimes. but never
laughed.
II God did not intend us to laugh.
on occasion. why did he endow us
with the capacity to laugh. with a
sense OF the humorous. with the fac
ulty to see and enjoy wit, fun and
the absurd side OF life: and. further
more. why did he produce so many

She was carried 10 her room. and
next day. when Harvey called, mis-

sores would spread from one place to

at times the whole lower part OF my
face would be solid sore. This con-

An Irishman there inherited a coal
mine up In the state. He immedi-

big coal contracts and went around
to say a good word for his coal.
The man who was letting the con
tract heard him a moment. and then
interrupted with:
That's all right. but how about
British thermal units?"
The other. being new to the coal
business. did not know that coal Is
rated now according to the British
thermal units in tests.
"Phat's that" he said
How many British thermal units
