A Repentant Sinner.
You've sinned.
You're sorry.
All right-that's that. Why
keep on chewing your nails? I'll
tell you why.
First, because you think it's
necessary. You are sincere in
your belief that prolonged regret
is the rightful sequel to sin.
You've seen it done by all the
best people. Large, noisy sins
have always been followed by
handsome, noisy repentances in
our best society. So, of course,
you feel you should do yourself
credit by the magnitude of yours.
You feel that you're doing the
right thing by both yourself and
God in thus registering Remorse,
night and day.
That's one reason why you're
wallowing in regret.
But there's another reason. You
like to wallow in regret. It's a
new and thrilling kind of Daily

Lawyers are said to be cynical
and hard boiled; but there never
little when a pretty woman wept
all over his mahogany desk-top.
Many q woman, who has gone
to her lawyer for a divorce,
has felt that she could go back
and endure her husband a little
longer, because she has told the
lawyer what brute" he Is,
and has gotten it out of her
system.
Lots Of times, a lawyer thinks
that a woman has come to him
for legal advice, when she has
merely dropped in for a little
sympathy.

SWEDENBORG AND HIS WORK ARE DISCUSSED

. He was all of these things, and
above them all he was an origt-
nal thinker. He had a double
type of mind. There are two
principal mental types-the scien-
tific and the mystic--and in their
extreme forms they cannot I'M
derstand one another. That in
Swedenborg the two types existed
amicably together is shown by
what he did. His first originality
was that, though the son Of a
bishop and a professor Of the
ology. he was of very plouS
disposition.
He Was q Thinker
Graduated from the University
Of Upsala, he took up natural
philosophy and became celebrated
as a mathematician, an engineer,
an inventor, a metalurgist, po-
litical economist, a paleontologist
and physicist in all the
branches of that science. He
showed his originality again when
he told the University of Upsala,
which wanted him for professor
of mathematics, that it was a
mistake for mathematician to be
limited to theory. He ought to
have come in our time.
But the greatest proof OF his
originality Is that there is hardly
a main feature Of modern scien-
tific advance that he did not fore
see. Brought back to life today
he would be not whit amazed
by our discoveries and theories
about the origin and nature OF
the sun, the planets, the stars
and the universe, for he himself
worked out a nebular theory. He
would say. II told you So" when
he beheld airplanes traversing
the atmosphere as freely as birds.
He, in the beginning of the
eighteenth century, insistently
predicted on the basis Of his own
experiments, and that of what a
mere inspection of natures fly
ing creatures suggested, that
human flight would surely be
achieved. On the other hand, at
the beginning of the twentieth
century one of the greatest theo-
rettcal mathematician then liv-

of the most powerful teachers of
the existence of a spiritual nature
in man and above man. 1t has
been affirmed that it was only
in his dOtage that Swedenborg
turned to these things. But read
what he himself says, speaking
of his boyhood: IT often re-
vealed things in my discourse
which filled my parents with
establishment and made them de-
clare at times that certainly the
angel spoke through my mouth"
His visions may have been
chimeras, but his philosophy Of

 Lord Justice Scrutton, when the case came before him pointed out that English civilization and law had got along quite comfortably since the Norman Conquest without deciding the status of the cat" but proceeded forth with to consider the question at issue. which he said was ''has cat full right to roam?"
 He decided in the affirmative and denied the claim of George Arthur Buckle of Leeds, that w. Holmes pay him the value of eight homing pigeons and two bantams. Buckle owned the pigeons and bantams; Holmes owns the cat that roamed and ate the pig cons and bantams.
 Buckle lost his suit for damages in two lower courts and appealed with the support of the National Homing Union.
