the art committee of the proposition,
said the statue had been up Just two
hours Friday, when three men, who
refused to give their names, came in
to protest.
II did not ask for the sculpture to
be covered" he explained. There's
no law against it. There have been
no further complaints.
Frederick Dana Marsh, the mural
painter, member of the committee,
said the statue had been covered
chiefly to protect it from possible de-
facement.

sculptor himself" he said. mo

THE GREAT PARTNERSHIP
One can make large plans if he
has God for a partner. And that is
the secret of every great life-some-
one has gone into partnership with
the Almighty to produce it. That
little slave hut in Goshen in which
Amram and Jocebad Graded Miriam
and Aaron must have been a house of
wonder. God occupied it with them
and strang spirit of peace pervad-
ed its single room where, tired from
toll, they all sank to rest at night.
It was adSlave hut with the air of
Heaven within it. One day another
baby was hushed to stiffness there
and the door was closed to prevent
the cry reaching the ears Of watch
ing informers. Because there was
partnership with the Almighty they
dared defy the King and care for
His trust. And such partnership
sharpens wits-witness Isaiah, Dan
il, Luther, Washington and a thous-
and more, For any other the scheme
would have been too hair-brained to
consider for moment. There were
a thousand chances to one that it
would miscarry and the boy be lost
but they took the chance in trust in
that unfailing partner. Muller run
ming his great Orphanage said some
thing like this: There are many who
have faith in Gods supply only they
won't risk taking the orphans" They
risked all with God and He made
good. And in larger fashion than
they dreamed, for to have missed the
Princess would have lost his life and
to have missed his mother would have
lost his leadership. Somewhere in
that boys life there came the self
giving to his fathers and mothers
God and after that the deities of
Egypt had small place in his think
ing. Then came the palace and the
court of the greatest nation of the
time and he so learned its ms and
outs that he was never at a loss in
meeting her mightiest. There must
have come some offer Of preferment,
the naming him as heir or the placing
him in some position Irrational trust
that brought the climax in his life
when he refused to be called the son
of Pharoah's daughter" That moth
er's partnership was bearing fruit in
the life of the man who was entering
