 County Attorney F. M. Gold says the pastor of church he used to at tend--once in a while-when he was a student in Lawrence, Kans., announced one Sunday that on the following Sum day he would preach about liars and would ask the congregation about some things in the seventeenth chap ter of Mark. The next Sunday ar rived, and the preacher asked all those who had read the seventeenth chapter of Mark to hold up their hands. More than half the congregation hoisted their paws.
