Every man has needed hang

own accord.
Andy's idea of Philanthroph-
ist seems to be one who returns

Small change out of the wallet
which he has previously lifted"
from the poor man secretly.
But | suppose Andy deserves
more sympathy than sarcasm.
He is so rich that the poor fellow
doesn't really know who are his

By the way, what is a Social

Encyclopedia takes up several
columns in an attempt to define
Socilism, but there is as much
difference between the model and
the specifications as there is be-
tween the ordinary church mem
Der and the Scripture specifica-
ton of real Christian. Judg
ing from the model, a Socialist
seems to be one who is willing to
share his lack with you if you
will divide your sack with him.
All well! We can't all be smart.
And speaking of the ordinary
church member: 1t occurs to me
that the strongest proof of the
divinity of Christianity is the
fact that it has survived in spite
of the people who profess it.
