Object to Misuse Of Texts,

Nine. Waldvogel, the proprietress
of cafe in Zurich, conceived the idea
some time ago that certain phrases in
the Bible could be employed as adver-
tisements for her establishment She
therefore had several phrases, such as
Come to me and will give you rest"
Abide with me-" etc., painted on the
walls of the cafe. M. Liechti, Swiss
pastor, in letter to the local news
papers, condemned this manner of adj
vertising in strong terms, and Nine.
Waldvogel brought an action for libel
against him, claiming 5000 damages.
The action was tried at Zurich, and
the president described the suit as ian
impudent advertisement and ordered
the plaintiff to pay all costs and $40
to the pastor for charity The pres
ident further stated that unfortunately
he could not order the Biblical phrases
to be obliterated under the present
charge. Two societies, however, are
taking up the case on other grounds
In order to stop what is considered to
be scandal.

At last the little door Is open,
So watch the prisoner look up to the

Yet finds it not as blue as when he
saw it last:
And, so where freedom leads he goes,
Looks to the prison door again,
But knows that slavery Is Of the past
Discretion isn't quality that gets
high praise.
Even the flavor of forbidden sweets
turns to ashes.
The first flowers of summer are the

The stamp Of disapproval Is far
more forceful when not driven by
anger.
