enc of the most charming accomplish
ments. It can not be put on from
but comes from the spirit that
recognizes the kindly intent of the
giver and accepts the offering with an
expression Of the feeling evoked. Yet
we often take for granted the Cts
that. come from home folks, the con-
t;nuous service that marks the living
sharing Of the home life and he who
would not fer worlds omit the grace
of gratitude with strangers takes it
all without a word if it happens to be
in the home circle. Company manners
are a notorious sham. And when it
comes to God there is more omission
still. 'Be gracious unto God" is the
fine word of a teen-age cir. To fail
with Him marks all else as outer
form. That gives the finest founda-
ton for all others, because he who
does not fail here will not fail any
where. That marks off this Samaritan
as the lone gentleman in the group
and makes him part of the select com
pany who not only give gloriously
but receive in a fashion that makes
even God glad. And not to give Him
joy is sin, for that is His right from
all Of US. We have robbed Him of
what is His due and at the bottom in
gratitude is spiritual thievery.

As that little procession strobe to-
ward Jerusalem there came the pat,
pat Of bare, running feet in the road
behind them, and as they turned to
look a ragged figure flung itself
breathlessly at the feet of our Lord,
bowling in the dust with utter abandon
as he began to pour out his gratitude
for what had been done in his body.

his tongue was busy WIS is praise

dCring JOY. Jesus was eager to know
about the rest of the men, were they
not cleansed? Why had they not re-
turned with praise? Of course there
were good arguments for their con-
duct; they were obeying orders; they
wanted to get back home ITO business,
to society as quickly as possible, and
Jesus was on the move so that they
were not sure where to ind Him. They
had the cure, but they missed the
Christ. "Rise up" said the tender
voice of Jesus, and it is pretty certain
that the hand accompanied the word
so the Samaritan stood looking Gag
erly into the fact that had grown so
kindly to the outcast. "Your faith
hath made you whole" was the
compliment that fell upon his ear. His
was the praise of the Master and the
evidence of the completer cure, for
it had reached the heart of this man
while it had but touched the skin of
the others.

Christians" I'VE need more faith to
live that way" may be our own reply
as we'll as the Disciples. Then He
went on telling them not to grow vain
over their obedience. for after all it
was only their duty and that was eX-
pected of every man. 1t was in the
midst Of such changing talk as they
walked along somewhere upon the
borders between Galilee and Samaria
that one Of the most unusual inter
ruptions Of His ministry came to
them. Individual lepers had been met
and healed before, but here was a
q leper union asking for a collective
bargain with Him. And He recogniz-
ed the rights. Certainly the church
in setting that as one Of the standards
is acting on good authority.

Not even come near enough to see the
sympathy in His face but must shout
the harsh-voiced entreaty from a dis
tance. The quiet-voiced reply with no
kindly touch of the hand brought per
pleXity rather than anything else, for
it was simply, GO show yourselves
to the priests" They looked at each
other in amazement, for they had been
to the priests before and their faces
and fingers were as marked with the
dread disease as ever. 1t was a chal-
lenge to their faith and judgment
The terms were not what they had
had in mind; could they trust this
Mans word? Would this different
response bring the desired result?
They were challenged not upon the
side Of their misery and desire, but
upon the side of their relationship
with men represented in Jesus. And
it is to their glory that they were fine
enough to make the response. They
discussed it Of course, but presently
were moving over the hills in the di-
rection ordered, talking as they went.
And presently change came as one
looked at the other. Features were
being smoothed out, skin was taking
on fine healthy glow and they were
running and shouting with the joyous
possession of all they had asked. They
were cured. And so completely was it
done that the old racial hatred reas-
serted itself and the Samaritan was
dropped from the ranks. They had
returned to normal and the bonds that
had bound them slipped away at once.

 Bilbo Is Confident.
 The figures were from Is counties which had completed tabulation of the vote for governor and from scat tered precincts, both complete and incomplete, in all sections of the state.
 Bilbos campaign manager and his staff were so confident he would be in the second primary that they set in motion late today plans for the coming campaign, which, because of the short time intervening before the second primary, necessarily would have to be of whirlwind character. Political observers still hold to their opinion that the vote cast would be between 100000 and 225.000, which left possible room for radical changes in the final relative stanAing of the candidates, but Bilbo anu his sup porters apparently had little lear of an upset.
 The contest TOT lieutenant-gov- ernor was close. The figures showed a difference of less than 1000 for the two candidates, H. D. Money and D. Murphree. Murphree was lead ing. with 3l,oS7, while Money was credited with 27,s2s.

 Marion streets tonight were be- ginning to see the many persons com ing from distant places to attend the funeral. Every road leading into Marion was thronged by automoplies,, Railroad companies tomorrow Wni nlace special watchmen at all nigh- way crossings within 50 miles of the city to insure safety for those travel ing by automobile.
 Practically all the streets in the business section and in the Vicinlty of the Harding home will be closed to vehicle traffic early tomorrow morning. Friday, the day of the funeral, the closed area will be ex-
 nf a. tery.
 PalI Of Mourning.
 The city tonight wore pail of mourning Business houses ana homes were drapeA in black and white crepe from their roofs to the street level. In the display wlndoWs of stores and shops large pictures or the late President, many of which had been proudly displayed less than three years ago when the nation called a Marion citizen to direct it's destinies, were entwined in black and white and the flag. From the trolly wires overhead in Center street through which the funeral cortege will pass in going to and from the Harding home and to the cemetery, the same black and white and again the flag hung lstlessly or moved slightly in the gentle breezes.
 Nothing, apparently, has been left undone by Marion to pay due honor to her departed citizen or to faelll- tate the movement of the funeral cortege.
 Center street has been hastily re- haired by gangs of workmen toiling through the night, filling up depres- sions with asphalt or leveling off a bump. All business vii be at stand still Friday during the hour of the funeral. Most business places closed tonight, not to reopen again until Saturday.
 The Marion Star, until recently owned by MT. Harding, and on which he worked in every position from typesetting up, will suspend publi- cation Friday out of respect for it's late owner, and to allow the employees to attend the funeral
 Many of the employees have been with the star for years and are num- bered among the late Presidents and Mrs. Harding's best friends.
