Parents Wanted a Preacher,
but the Fates Prevented.

"There were three boys in our fam

Colonel Fred Paul Grosscup or

"Peter, the firstborn, was picked
for the church, while Ben and myself
were allowed to think of some other
vocation. Well. when Peter left col
lege he told father and mother that he

Then was picked for the pulpit, and
after a term in college my parents
were shocked to learn that | had en-
tered a business house far from
home.
'"That meant the selection of Ben,
the youngest, for the church, and
when Ben got through his college
course he told the old folks at home
that he thought it wisest to follow the
example of Peter and enter the legal
profession. There were no other boys.
so what could father and mother do
but exclaim, The Lords will be done,
and give US each parental blessing?
Years after, when Brother Peter
reached the federal bench and Ben
achieved distinction on the Pacific
coast, our parents seemed reconciled
to the loss sustained by the pulpits of
the country Washington Post.
