ALL SET DOWN
IN GOOD BOOK"
Wisdom Beyond Price Found
in Its Pages.

The way it was, we had steered
our faithful little Henry into II road
that intrigued us. We seem never
to be able to pass that kind of road.
And, after a mile or two, or maybe
three. we came to rather forlorn-
looking shack at the door of which
man said ''Howdy'' to us by way of
q welcome.
He asked us in out of the hot glare
of the sun. And as we sat with him
we noticed an open Bible on the
rough wooden table.
Preacher, eh? we ventured. No,
said the man, not even a member of
the church. Then how come the
Bible? we asked again. And the
man said, well, he said it is about
the only book l read, for l find all
wisdom between its pages. l read it
for its wisdom, he said.
He proved his case later on when
we talked together about economic
conditions prevailing throughout the
world, and especially in our own
country. How lots Of people who
thought they were rich. and really
were rich, are now as poor as Jobs
turkey and on their uppers, as the
saying is
/ was just thinking of that when
you came along, and l was reading
the twenty-third chapter of Prov
erbs, he said, as he pointed out the
place in the Book to us, and from
which we read this:
Weary not thyself to be rich /;
cease from thine own wisdom. Wilt
thou set thine eyes upon that which
Is not? For riches certainly make
themselves wings. like an eagle that
fl.eth toward heaven"
There you are, the man said with
grim smile, there you are. 1t is
all in the Book
Rich men have not only seen their
money take wings. but their health
has gone with the money because
when they were rich they ate too
much of the wrong kinds of food.
Now they are broke in body as well
as in their bank accounts. OF course
not all OF them. but a lot of them,
he said. The ones that were fool
ish. Again he turned to the Book.
directing us TO read another verse
or two from the Proverbs that wise
old Solomon wrote. So. we read this:
when thou sittest to eat with
ruler, consider diligently him that is
before thee, and put a knife to thy
throat, II thou be man given to APP
petite. Be not desirous of his dain-
ties, seeing that they are deceitful
meat"
Well, sir, as we left the shack and
got to thinking of everything on the
journey home, we felt that indeed no
man need bother himself how to be
happy and healthy by paying any
attention 10 what he hears over the
radio or by reading so-called doc

table where she had opened the
morning mail. On top of the pile
was a conventional engraved Christ
mas card that read:

Down in a corner was the ink

She stood with a contemplative
but happy smile on her face as she
mused: Il wonder who sent that

Grace was evidently so happy about
it. It's just a formal Christmas
greeting"
But the Lambert dinner came of
with all the old crowd attending
and 1t was voted the best of a long
line of happy Christmas gatherings
At parting, though, neither Mrs
Sansome nor Mrs. Greene alluded

relation had been overcome. But

Americas Godfather

Did Bristol man give his name to
America?
The question of the origin of the
name has again been under discus
sion, and it has been pointed out that
it was used In Bristol before ii ap-
peared on any Continental map.
Cabot, who was the first explorer
to touch the mainland of America,
sailed from Bristol, and on his re-
turn to that port, two payments OF
500 each were made TO him by the
senior collector of customs Richard
Ameryk. 1t has been suggested that
Cabot named the new territory after
this man. who was possibly per-
sOnal friend.
The theory was first put forward
some years ago, and has many sup

Our government was not created and is

a competitor of the business supplying such
