"HEII AND MARIAl"

President Harding and General
DAVIS are close friends, and the
general is constantly singing the
praises of the chief executive.
DAVIS went to New York recently
and in the course of a Hell and
Maria" speech characterized congress
as "conglomeration of cowardly
peewees and congress frothed.
Then he dashed off and dined with
the president.
Now the president is out in a
statement in which he lauds the
work of congress as the best yet, a
veritable mountain of constructive
achievement-and congress shippers.
Does this disprove the ancient
theory that great minds run in the
same channel?"
Or perhaps one of these two d.
vergent minds is not great?
Or perhaps they can't find the
channel?

CHAPTER Is

The parable of the lost sheep: 8
of the piece of silver: III of the
prOdigal SON.
Then drew near unto him all the
publicans and sinners for to hear
him.
> And the Pharisees and scribes
murmured, saying, This man re-
ceiveth sinners, and eateth with
them.
3 And he spake this parable unto
them, saying,
1 What man of you, having an
hundred sheep, if he lose one OF
them, doth not leave the ninety and
nine in the wilderness, and go after
that which is lost, until he find 1t!
s And when he hath found 1t, he
layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing.
6 And when he cometh home, he
calleth together his friends and
neighbours, saying unto them, Re-
ioice with me; for / have found my
sheep which was lost.
Z say unto you, that likewise
Joy shall be in heaven over one SIN
ner that repenteth, more tnan over
ninety and nine just persons, when
need no repentance.
| Either that woman having ten
pieces of silver, If she lose one piece,
doth not light a candle, and sweep
the house, and seek diligently TILL
she find it?
Q And when she hath found 1t, she
calleth her friends and her neigh
bours together, saying, Rejoice with
me: for l have found the piece which
had lost.
10 Likewise, l say unto you, there
is joy in the presence of the angeis
of God over one sinner that repent
eth.
II And he said, A certain man
had two sons:
IL And the younger of them SAID
to his father, Father, give me the
portion Of goods that falleth to me.
| And he divided unto them his living.
10 And not many days after the
Younger son gathered all together
and took his journey into far
country, and there wasted his SUB
stance with riotous living.
| IA And when he had spent all,
there arose mighty famine in thar
land: and he began to be in want.
Is And he went and Joined himself
to a citizen of that country; and he
sent him into his fields to feed
swine.

his belly with the husks that the
