Landon posed There they stood Smith, in a black morning coat, striped trousers and black patent leather shoes; Landon, in a dark blue business suit, waiting to cement an alliance with the man who once was MT.

Two Minute Sermon
BY THOMAS HASTWELL

WHERE IS YOUR FAITH: The
story is told ir Luke that one day
as the disciples journeyed with
Jesus in Galilee it became neces-
sary for them to cross over to the
other side of the lake. The text
states that as they sailed Jesus fell
asleep, and there came a storm
upon the lake. The frightened
disciples came to him and awoke
him saying, Master, Master we
perish. He arose, and after quiet
ing the wind and restoring calm,
turned to them and said: Where is
your faith? I've thought of that
