Comrade Lenin actually looks
better in death than he ever did
in life. And furthermore, I am
informed that the line forms on
the right, and that millions and
millions of school children are
dragged to Moscow to stand in
awe and reverence before the
bier of their departed master.
Immediately afterwards they
are taken to the Anti-Religion
Museum where, amidst hilari-
Gus fun, they are shown the
supposed remains of the late
st. Pachyderm of Kiev, before
whose mummy their fathers,
grandfathers and great-grand-
fathers unto the nth degree
had knelt with the same deVout
reverence with which the mod
ern Bolshevist now approaches
the sarcophagus of his own pa
tron saint, the late Brother

there are no crocidiles, there

Amen.
But lest this make us feel in
clined to speak with a slight
snootiness about the inferior
mentality of the MoscoVite, let
me illustrate my text with an
example from a little nearer
home. When we we're children,
we used to read how Columbus
on his westward voyage had
carried quite a number OF anu
lets with him, and we used to
consider such superstition as
merely another manifestation OF
that particular ignorance which
we had learned to identify with
the So-called Dark Ages.
REMAIN THE SAME
But when Admiral Byrd flew
across the ocean some eight
years ago. he had a piece OF the
original flag Of Betsy Ross on
board his airplane. 1t did not
do him much good, for he
landed in the ocean (does one
land" in the ocean or does one
water" into the ocean9 but
there it was, in the enlightened
day and age Of our own con-
temporaries.
And the next time you read
William Tell and feel outraged
at the arrogance of the Haps-
burg governor who tried to make
free-born Swiss citizens bow low
before the emblems of imperial
authority, please re m ember
what our own Flag Association
would do to us, If our national
temperament were not possessed
of too much sense of the ludl-
crous to stand for that particular
brand of professional patriotism.

CONSOLATION

There is great deal of consol-
alton in that thought for those
of us who are apt to take life
too seriously: Where there are
too seriously: "Where there are
any crocodiles," and vice versa.
When I was in Russia, 80
years ago, the old regime was
still in full blast. And thousands
OF little boys and girls were
marched through the Kremlin to
look at the venerable remains of
st. Pachyderm of Kiev, a holy
man who had departed this life
900 years ago, and whose re-
mains ever since had reposed in
a golden coffin in the crypt of
st. StanislauS Durakski, who, as
everybody knows, had been the
patron saint of the House Of
Romanov until it was called to
the throne of Russia and trans
1ered It's allegiance to st. Mich
ael the Dragon Slayer.
And when these little boys and
girls approached the last resting
place of st. Pachyderm, their
papaS picked them up by the
seats of their pants and the
ScruffS of their neckS and in
that slightly uncomfortable pos
ition they were thereupon urged
to kiss a dark, brown and very
untaSty looking piece of bone,
which was supposed to be the
Holy Mans skull.
That has been going on for
hundreds and hundreds of years,
and everybody had taken it for
granted, until the wicked Boil
sheviks opened up the coffin and
found nothing therein but a few
old bricks, a piece Of bone that
had never belonged to any hu-
