MANY of them are happy-ending sob Stories IN
decd all of them have happy endings, carrying the
inference that the American people in their corpor

miser until two three years ago when they were
converted as Scrooge was. 1t is way OF saying
that the Lord has selected chosen vessel TO drlVe

None of the stories without happy endngs are
told perhaps there are none.) Who writes the

When that condition is reached, the sole escape

We do not believe that President Roosevelt is
consciously moving in that direction, but large

When man announces that he is for 1.-THE New
