THE HIRED MAN

good men like me were taken out and
all the wicked ike you left in i. you
yourself would find i pretty tough !
place in which to live. Ahcnl, anew. |
Well the wicked place otter this life
will he rather on that order How
you fellows would want to come over
where I and all the other saints are
having good time If my mate
modcsty did not prohihit. could still
make it good deal palmer.
"What can the Hired Man do to get
some shoppers to do it on business
basis? They come in and run us girls
all over the store and back again,
when if they would think they could
ask for all they want in one depart
ment while we were there" The
! Hired Man is even more helpless in
this matter than are you shop girls
How would it do to quietly ask the
purchasers if there were other articles
in that department that would please
themo Shoppers do not mean to work
hardship on the clerk, and by little
unobtrusive assistance on the part of
the salcslady, miles of steps might be
avoided. notice some clerks say SIS
that all, now" whereas the better
thing to say is "is there something
more"
"What do you think Of the place in
the bible where it says the shepherd
forsook the ninety and nine and went
out to find the one lost sheep? Was
that good herder?" The shepherd
in this parable had just called his flock
into the fold for the night where the
sheep would be safe from harm. He
always counted them at that time to
sec that he had them all On this oc-
casion he discovered that one was
gone. He put the ninety and nine safe
within the fold and then went out to
find the missing sheep. That was a
very good shepherd according to my
way Of thinking.
"How, when and where did God
make this world?" The Hired Man
as much as he knows and as much as
he has been about still stumbles on
to some things that he does not know,
and here are three of those things in
a cluster. If you will go look under
your bed where no broom has been
for ten days, you will find lint galore
No man knows how it gets there
That law would finally make world
like ours. Then the German theory
would be correct. That is evolution
Just where the world was when It was
first made is mystery, but that mys-
terry is no larger than that other one
that tries to tell us where the world is
t today Nobody knows where it is.
. We believe that we are sojourneying
along with the old thing, but lust
t where we are is conundrum. One
theory is, that God took huge guam
tty of sand and made rocks of it.
, Another theory is that He took huge
quantity Of rocks and made sand OF
, them You can paw your money and
5 take your choice One theory is that
the earth was once a very hot mass
and is cooling down. Another theory
I is that it was once very cold and is
+ now heating up. Pay your dough once
more and take your choice. Person

q us the plain unvarnished truth about
