 Some years ago there lived an unfortunate guy in Greece who was condemned to served. Eurys- theus, the political boss of Argos. because Eurystheus knew some thing on Hercules. While work ing for him one of Eurystheus' political henchmen, Augeus. who ran a butcher shop in the ward called Ellis, got into trouble with the health officers because he had kept ]. 900 beeves in the stables at his slaughter pen and had not cleaned the stalls for thirty years. The stockyard workers union re- fused to take the job of cleaning the stables because they would have to put in too much overtime. so Hercules was sent to do the job. He was up against hard proposition for the union picket ed the works and would not let him import scabs, and no human could clean such q filthy stables anyway. so Hercules turned two swiftly flowing rivers through them and washed them clean in one day, so saving Augeus' shop
 from being closed by the sanitary officers. Our minds are like the Augean stables. SO filled bv filth that it will require the torrent of blood from the side of a cruel. fled Savior and a stream of wis dom flowing straight from the fountain of knowledge to clean our minds 60 we can understand the simple truth hen we read 1t, and if We don't clean up the

We Are Too Busy To
 Correct Others Mistakes

A friend of ours hustled into our office the other day like he had just three seconds to catch
 the through express and told us that an article we published in a
 previous issue had been misun- derstood and that he wanted Us
 to publish an explanation for him,
 We slicked down off our stool
 right smartly quick ,lagreedlgot T
 new pencil and asked him what
 he wanted to say He said he did
 not want to say anything, he
 wanted us to fix Il up We asked him if we should sign his name.
 He jumped like Doe Mchraw's s rattle snake had bitten him and
 said, .no he wanted us to just let the people know what we meant.
 as some of them had not read 1t carefully. We gently craWled up on our stool and went to stick ing type. We haven't time to write explanations and then an other explanation explaining that explanation. We use plain
 English and call a spade a spade,
 and when we call t a spade We mean a spade and notla well drill.
 If you read something about an
 internal hypocrite running about town without (a muzzle on we do not mean saint has come to our , town to spread love and peace among us. So understand that
 we mean an internal hypocrite and stIdy the matter carefully and if you cant get good reputa: ble witnesses that it's your neigh bor We are talking about, then
 read it again and see if we mean you, and if you decide you are an internal hypocrite then turn from yom wlckedness and be ! saint awhile and We think you will feel better, for the bible says.

 If tSaint Peter left the pearl5 gates long enonsh to come down here and make some ut us thick wits understand that when he said, in Acts 2::3S. to he baptized he meant baptized, or try to make every body agree on what for in the same verse means. he would leave the gates unguardeI l so long that a lot of these old bench warmers m the amen cor ner would sneak in and he'd have a lot of trouble In rounding them up and kicking them out: and If he put up the hars before he left the gap. when he got back he'd find a bunch o, Is newspaper guys sitting on stumps and logs awaiting to get in and when he told us what he'd been doing, that he'd kept us waiting so long.
 we'd laugh hrm out of cOunte- nance for attempting to make people understand a thing any other way except the way they want to understand it. People do not want to understand and do right. God tried to make the lsrealites do right by talking to them and causing miracles to be performed before their eyes and he had such poor luck he decided to engrave his commandments on a stone so they could read them every day, and when Moses came down out of the mountain. where he had gone because the stones were extra hard. he found the people worshipping a golden calf. They had forgotten what God had told them. Moses got mad and hit some of them on their heads with the tablet of commandments trying to beat it into their thick heads but that only broke his
