where the enemy will doubtless make
their first landing. are Tory strong
holds. Conditions are not much bet
ter in the Jerseys and Westchester
County to the north of this city. No
measures thus far attempted have
shaken the purpose of those misguided
people to give aid and comfort to the
enemy, even to the mastering of mill
tary companies which will attach
themselves to the invading army upon
its arrival.
There is nowhere the slightest hope
that the Indians will remain neutral.
In Tryon County, New York, they are
parleying with the Tories and listen
ing to the proposals of Sir John John
son, the Tory leader. The collapse Of
the American campaign in Canada
would give these Tories and savages a
most favorable opportunity for an up
rising against the widely scattered
and poorly armed patriots of New
York and western New England. To
the westward of the southern colonies,
another Indian upriSing is well ad-
vanced under the leadership of the
British Indian agents.

With every step that Jimmy Skunk
took that tail went up a little higher;
so that finally it was dangerously
high. 1t said to Reddy just as plain

Fox, you'll be in trouble" Reddy
understood 1t perfectly. He did his
best not to show that he was afraid.
In every word he said and every
move he made he was most polite.
No one can be more polite than can

Reddy??" inquired. Jimmy Skunk,
moving along toward Reddy in the

Jimmy, moving forward again. You

Skunk that he didn't appear to be
watching Reddy at all.
Jimmy Skunk saw this and he
grinnei, to himself. He knew just
what Reddy was hoping to do. So
Jimmy pretended to notice nothing
and gradually lowered his tail. Just
off to one side lay an old sheet of
bark. Jimmy at once thought of fat
beetles. He turned his back on Red
dy Fox and ambled over to that piece
Of bark. He turned it over. Sure
enough, under it were two fat beetles.
Now, ordinarily Jimmy Skunk moves
slowly and some people have the idea

black paw on each fat beetle. You

Reddy Fox, meanwhile, had gotten

Johnny was watching Jimmy Skunk

and also saw that he might possibly
lump on Johnny Chuck before Johnny
| could turn. What Reddy didn't see
| was that Jimmy Skunk was watch

cred his feet for swift jump Jimmy
| Skunk abruptly turned and rar
toward Reddy. and Jimmy's tail was

Reddy didn't move. Then he grinned
1t was a sickly sort of grin.

Hand Lotions.

You must be prepared for Summer
by having a good bleaching hand 10.
tion among your toilet necessities.
There is great charm in sunburned
face. but none in sunburned hands. I
have a few suggestions for bleaching
lotions. but | would like to recommend
wearing the light color suede fabric
gloves that all the shops carry and
that come in all the new soft tones of
beige and gray and cream. They have
the smartness Of suede or chamois at
fraction of the cost. they wear and
wash beautifully. and If you buy a
good quality they will be we'll cut. II
you wear them when walking or driv-
ing you will keep your hands nice
looking in spite Of the Summer sun.
Remember that lemon juice will re.
move almost all stains. and that bOrax
in the water will remove grease from
your fingers. A very good bleach is
made Of thre ounces Of glycerin, two
and a half of rosewater Tor plain
boiled water il you wish to be econom-
icaD. five tablespoonfuls Of lemon
juice and, il you like, few drops Of
cologne.
You know, of course. the good old
formula Of equal parts glycerin and
rosewater; or. to make it even more of
a bleach, equal parts glycerin. rose

Surely in town as generous and

Should you not also hear the dis

PEBBLES. Ohio.
Do you think Voltsire. Robert g:
Ingersol and Thomas Paine were ene-
mics of true religion?
AnsWer-Seen in their true per-
spective, the men you name were
mainly animated by resentment
against official interpretations of re-
ligion rather than against religion
itself.
Yet once the spirit of revolt Is let
loose it often runs to extremes. Vol
taira and Paine eXemplify this ten
dency. Both men differed so very
widely from each other, and 1ngersoll
from them, that generaliZations upon
their work are apt 10 be inaccurate
and misleading.
The theological orthodoxy of the
eighteenth century was not that OF
the middle nineteenth century. Vol
taire opposed current ecclesiasticism
and it's political ascendancy. Paine
belonged to the deists who were
afterward overwhelmed by Anglican
scholars.
The problems they raised had much
to do with the outbreak of the French
Revolution. Paine also materially
contributed to the success of the
American War of Independence. In
gersolrs eloquent periods and shafts
of satire were directed against those
views of Holy Scripture which pre-
vailed before the results of historical
criticism were widely known. conse-
auentlv much which he said is now
archaic for those who accept the
assured results of reverent and con-
structive scholarship.
The ideas and proposals Of Vol
taire. Paine and Ingersoll were fire.
1uently more out of focus than the
| ideas and institutions they antago-
! nized.
| Their huma nism. on the whole. was
! pronounced and their sense OF free
| dom highly developed Their ethics
varied somewhat in quality.
| In the religious realm the effectoof
| their work was mixed. AS adverse :
ries Of theological orthodoxy, thee
caused it to pass through the crucible
| Of public opinion. The excrescences
of that orthodoxy were partly purged
away. hut it's essentials remained.
The house i'm which Voltaire pre-
| dicted the collapse of institutional
Christianity is said to be today a depot
for the sale of Bibles.
InGersoll's former residence in New
! York City is now occupied in part by
Christian bishop.
| Paine is chiefly remembered by
modern historians for his powerful
| brochures in behalf of political free
dom. His remarks upon religion are
| negligible.

fate to fall upon others. and 1 since
have been told that it is far more

Am ! wrong in hoping that a Grim

Answer-To wish for others an evil
fate is one thing: to say that they de-
serve that fate is entirely another
thing.
The distinction between the evildoer
and his deed is a fine one. yet II
should be drawn. Jesus drew it, and
while loving the sinner, lOathed his sin.
A convict criminal. as a rule, de-
serves his penalty, and it is false sen.
timentalism which bewails the punish
ment that fits his crime.
But neither YOU nor ]. nor the judge
who infiicts the penalty, need feel
vengeful toward the offender. On the
contrary, we should. as far as possi-
