10 GU can't explain how you came
~ to do It. but you went on a Sum-
day School excursion by steam
boat last week.
The boat was to go from some
where to somewhere and back again.
and you felt that your fare would help
the library along and give you pleas
ant day on the water besides.
There was to be room for all. So
there was. but some had to remain
down in the hold, and some cling to
the guards. No objection was made
to people taking seats on the keel Of
the boat.
You were early, but you found all
the chairs occupied. Some folks sue
ceeded In occupying three. After
hunting the boat twice over you de-
cided to stand up.
You were at first surprised and
panied at the wrangling among the
innocent little children, but you final
ly discovered that they were out for
a good time. and each one felt en-
titled to all the room there was. Also,
that their mothers had the same feel
ing.
In wandering about you met vari-
GUS other wanderers. They elbowed
you: they stepped on your feet;t they
damned you around without apology.
II you protested they answered that
they were the whole Sunday School.
The boat grounded on a bar, Of
course.
Then. to vary the performance, the
bar grounded on the boat.
It also rained. Z..
You looked for a brotherly feeling
and found 1t. A dozen different
men, not liking your head, offered to
put another on you free Of cost.
