 So for many years he held his rule in big city and waxed rich He could not be elected to high .ffice himself. but his was the hidden power which elect ed others. Mayors and aldermen and councilmen and judges all obeyed the word of the man who knew how to pull the strings which controlled them.
 But a reform movement came along. and this man fell. Well founded charges of 'grafting' were brought against him. the minds of the community were aroused. and he was sentenced to q long term in the penitentiary. Neither pull nor power could obtain respite for him-he had to go.
 Thus far the story is not an uncommon one. It has happened time and time again in our American public life and will oc- cur so long as men and women permit others to perform their political duties for them.
 But here's the uncommon part of the story:

He spoke about his father to a friend. who was member of the state prison commissions

 The answer is:

 Because the policy of the government is the aggregate policy of the citizens who ~AA v involved in 1t. More-all are affected di- rectly by it. To a greater extent than is generally realized. perhaps, the policies of the government enter into every man s household Every bite of food eaten by . citizen or any member of his family, avery garment which he purchases, bears ~ impress of some governmental policy.

To save the reputation for veracity oe hundreds says the Philadelphia Inquirers to quiet the doubts of as many wives and to convince those who with various halr-raising details will recount the story today, that the incident really happened. the following story finds it's place in print this morning:

Nothing less than the gospel gives us a rational Clue to the meaning of the ages, those waves upon waves sweeping over the world. waves upon waves sweeping also over the individual life, It is as though the whole process of the illimitable seas of destiny were enchanting the words, Tt doth not yet appear what we shall be. but we know that when that shall appear We shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is. 7 This is the gospel interpretation of the word-mystery, to which Paul echoes Johns antiphonal: ''The whole world eroaneth and travaileth together until now. awaiting the appearing of the sons of God
