Hundreds Of wild cats running loose

Eclaring the wild felines must be shot
by police agents, while the former in.
fsist that the police have no right to,
capture them by any other means than
box: traps. The cats, however, refuse
to enter the boxes, and are SO enraged
|by the continual attempts to lure them
Into nets that they now show fight
whenever nurses or children approach
during their morning strolls. The
Seine prefecture is taking the problem
so seriously that special committee
has been appointed to Investigate, and
is preparing a report to show that un-
/ less the cats >csn be ousted from the
city's biggest playground the succeed
ing filters Of kittens will be more saw
age than their parents and the Bots

for, humans as some Of the forests in

The Feast of Weeks or Shahuoth
will be observed this: year in the
synasos on Sunday, June 18th, and in
more orthodox congregations the
following day also, June 18th.
Originally shabuoth was an ag-
ricultural festival in which the gath
ering Of the spring wheat was used
as an occasion for special services Of
/ Thanksgiving. A later tradition as
|! sociates this day with the revelation
|: Of God at Mt. Sinai when the law was
revealed. unto Moses. BY this reve-
lation Israel was summoned from
among the rations of the earth to
become the messenger Of that law OF
humanity and under the inspiration
of this elction, to stay the floods OF
sin. and corruption. that. threaten to
sweep ovr the earth. As result OF
jew hopes that zeal for the service

of God, which is TO do justly and tc
Jew hopes that zeal for the service
love mercy, may become the, striving
Of all mankind.

A DAILY THOUGHT

You remember the story of the
King who had a beautiful, garden
and in which there grew a tree that
bore Golden Apples. .
Someone commeneesd stealing the
applies and they set a guard.t to watch
for The thief. One of the guards
awoke early one morning to find q
Golden Bird slapping at them. He
shot an arrow at the bird, but only
shot away one golden feather.
The golden feather was taken be-
fore the king. Courtiers declared II
worth more than all The value of his
kingdom. But the king said, "One
feather is of no use to nc. / must
have the whole bird"
Some. of .us-possibly YOU, can
profit by the adoption. of the King
point of view. Wesstart out in the
fresh morning Of our Business Life
the fires of Ambition burning bright
~, the steam of Mental EnerS!
pushing us along purposefully.
We accomplish something. Per
haps we become quite successful in
a certain profession, or certain
line of industry Or we make GOOD
record in certain position.
But then we slow up. We're con
tent with measure of success. But
we don't develop All the possibilities
We don't go as far as we could go II
we gave no ear to the siren songs OF
ease and enjoyment.
/, Be like the King of old. Say with
him, whatever your individual line
Of achievement. II must have the
whole bird"
