its epochal effect on Christianity,

In it's present form, the plan in
cludes three steps:

8. An appeal through the State

grounds if the motion is denied or

While the defense waited for its

Shelby is said to have told In
spector Evans that he would be
willing to take a demotion rather
than have Headley, who is nearing
retirement, set down in rank.
Shelby is said to have suggested
at the time that he was not eager
to retain his inspectorship, and that
work in precinct as a captain
would be agreeable to him, while
1t would interfere materially with
the morale of the force to have

Granny Squirrel is crazy" Mrs.
Young Squirrel told her neighbOr, Mrs.
Gray. "She sits there talking about
having all she needs when the ground
is about bare of nuts, and seeing
somebody who isn't anywhere around.
Poor old granny, she will starve this
winter"
But Granny didn't starve. Instead,
she had a good supply of nuts, and
one day, when Mrs. Young Squirrel,
who was looking rather thin and far
from well fed, happened to call, Gran
ny Squirrel treated her to nut cakes
and tea.
"Where did you get nuts for cake
this time in the winter?" asked Mrs.
Young Squirrel. "You could not have
stored any, because there were none.
1t was a dreadful season for us poor
creatures"

nuts answered Granny, 'but l have

I have all I can use and to spare.
"You see, it is as l told you. If we

Mrs. Young Squirrel nibbled her
cakes and wondered if, after all, Gran

her to be, for she looked not only
plump, but happy as well.
