Judge said: "You have broken into
the police court This is no case for
me. Go home and try to treat each

Then it was that an old man who
had been on the witness stand in the
case stepped back on the little plat
form. He was the father of the wife.
Drawing a book from under his coat
and holding it up before the judge
and that soiled crowd from the slums
he said: "Your honor, the trouble
with them is, they have put this
book out of their home. l have plead
with them and begged them, but they
will not listen to me. They will never
be happy until they put this book
back"
The book was the Bible.
The old man had accurately dag
nosed the cause of the ruin of many
an American home.
The best friend of the home is the
Bible. The old Book will never lead
us astray Better put it back, my
friend. In the still hours let it speak
to you and yours of that.

scarcely make her story coherent.
They were arrayed against each 9TH

there had started a row which ended
