Two million or more of our boys
will soon be imperiling their lives
for us and so far as l am concerned

their country without rebuking it,
There is no stain on our flag

The single man out of a job is to
be pitied, for he has no wife to sup
port him.
Three years after man had
whipped a preacher, would he be an
eXpounder of the gospel?
Just because a farmer is a beef

We heard a man some time ago
very freely telling to another all he
knew about motor cars. 1t would
have filled several large volumes.
Just few days later it came to pass
that what he did not know, helped
to fill the churchyard on the hill.
You have undoubtedly heard some
| people declare that swine are the
dirtiest animals in christendom.
Their statement is absolute falacy,

Who remembers the old fashioned
home where the father and the
