He wanted to laugh but his own eyes

Cause our Brother to remain among

our sorrows. The injustice we have
done him weighs heavy upon us.
Cause him to forgive us, Oh Lord"
With an effort Daniel raised himself
on his elbows and looked around the
church. Every pew was full of silent
men and women. Their faces were
rugged and hard - the faces of those
who struggle with the wilderness. But
behind their eyes he could see the pres
sure of tense emotion. They held their
breaths, waiting for his word.

over his soul At last he'd seen straight

Daniel smiled peacefully.
YES" he said. II forgive
He felt very happy, but weak with
his wound. He sank back on the pillow.
His eyes closed in sleep. The last thing
he heard was the note of the pitch
pipe. and the congregation singing
loud and clear around him. They sang
happily this time. With music in their
hearts. Joyfully they sang their hymn
of Thanksgiving. He had never heard
them sing that way before.

Daniel. Thou hast saved us from

The minister looked down at Daniel.
Then he prayed again.
I'VE have one thing to ask. Oh
Lord. Cause our brother Daniel to
forgive the wrong we have done him.
Cause him to forget that we accused
him of grievous sin. We do not need
to forgive that sin. Now that we know
the goodness of his heart, we believe
he did not commit it."
The minister's voice broke. Daniel
heard the muff1ed sobs of women from

deeper sobs Of men.

CAGE CLASSIC ION SATURDAY
 CALLED DRAW
Protested Game, Krause- DeMolays, Be Replay-
 ed Wednesday
BULLETIN = This afternoon the DeMolays protested to play ing the "tie game" Wednesday night and the date still remains open.

Failing to convince league mana9- CTS that their last basket counted in the historic Krause- -DeMolay net classic Saturday night, the losers dug up a technicality before the meeting last night, and won draw with the cement-mixers, 39-39.
 Before declaring the Saturday night game a tie contest, League President Leonard Holmquist told the gather ing, which included five team man. agers and four DeMolay players, that he considered the decision as detri- mental, as it established a bad pre- cedent for future contests that end in one point victories.
 The DeMolay team, with Bob Dav-, lin representing Manager Dan Liv- ie, admitted the game ended before the losers scored, but declared that the referee, Paul Johnson, erred in permitting Paul Brown, Krause cap tain, to shoot two free throws, after scoring an under-basket shot.
  Discarded Free Throw
 Representative Davlin insisted that the league discredit the last free throw scored by the Concreter's for ward After much discussion, in which President Holmquist asked the playing members of the DeMolay team to refrain from voicing their opinion, the technicality was acted upon in favor of the fraternal lads. Manager Johnny Osborne, Of Krause, told the managers that the protest was not the original plea en- tered Saturday night by the losers. lie insisted the new argument be ig- nored on the grounds that such an error on the part of the referee should have been called at the time Of it's occurrence. The Concreters' nentcr was overruled by a vote Of the managers.
 Play-off Wednesday
 Acting With complete authority, A.. B. Phillips, past-president of the circuit, and superintendent of the city schools, announced that the big piay-off between the Concreters and 7 7EeMolay will be held at the high school gym on Thanksgiving eve, with the opening game of the Ju- neau High Douglas High champion ship as preliminary. It was not announced who will officiate. Since the DeMolay representative at last nights meeting unearthed technicalities in officiating to break tie with the Krausers, Manager Johnny Osborne of the winners pre- sented President Holmquist with still another technicality, which, he claims, will award the game to the giants by two points,
 Holmquist stated that another meeting of the managers would be called to act upon the protest of the decision.
