walked quickly towards him. Behind the
stranger were other men, in uniform and
heavily armed.
Don't be alarmed. I'm Gates, warden of
the Arborville Penitentiary. We're looking for
convict who escaped late this afternoon.
Have you seen or heard anything suspicio,s?"
"No-I'm glad to say. A dangerous man,
warden?"
There aren't many worse. It's Angelface
Spinelli Of the Rossiter gang. He killed guard
in his getaway and if he's caught he'll go to

alive. He's probably ten miles away by now,

WE'VE COME A LONG WAY.

This October IL marked another an
niversary of Columbus. Day-445
years from the day Christopher Co.
1umbus and his adventurous voyagers
sighted the western world.
The United States, as part of that
new world, has come long way since
that discovery. Today it stands as the
wealthiest and most democratic nation
of both the old and new world. 1t is a
nation whose citizens have more of
the material wealth that makes for
better living and happiness than those
of any other nation.
There are many important chapters
in Americas history Of progressive
development. Every phase of that his
tory is important, but two are of par
ticular import to every one of this ma
TONS 130,000,000 citizens. One is the
growth of our nation under the Con-
stitution of the United States. The
other is the development of Americas
progressive industrial system.
Without the Constitution as it was
drafted by our forefathers, Ameri-
cans today would not have the free
dom of speech and action that they
have found vital to their happiness;
without American industry they
would not have those things which
make their lives more comfortable,
healthier and happier.
Industry proves American workers
with the money and material needs
with which to live fuller life; the
Constitution protects those posses
sicns. Without either, the liberty and
possessions of which we have so rich a
share could not be preserved for us
and our children.

IN DAYS OF OLD
FORTY YEARS AGO

At Republican mass meeting held
in Oakland, Phillips Lee Goldsbor-
ough, candidate for State Comptrol-
Ter, delivered an address. Absence of
women from the meeting was marked,
it being stated that a goodly number
usually attended these gatherings. Re-
publican meetings in other parts of
the county were scheduled.
Mountain Lake Park was to have
graded school, the first time since the
school was established there. Teachers
were to be Misses Elizabeth Leary
and Emma Hamill.
Owen Hart, a we'll known resident
of Oakland, suffered a stroke of par
alysis and died the same afternoon.
Mr.. Hart had been elected burgess of
Oakland once and served two terms as
mayor of the town, having been the
first mayor, under change in the city
council to be elected as executive
head Of the municipal government.
Mr.. Hart was a Democrat and a con-
sistent member of the Catholic church

Books Sold Without Profit

The sole purpose for which Bible
Societies were originally organized
was the missionary distribution of the
Holy Scriptures. After more than a
century and quarter this remains
their laudable objective. This, of
course, does not mean that Bible So
cieties are not privileged to publish
and sell more expensive volumes for
those whose purses permit the luxury
of de luxe editions, but the profits so
earned are turned back into the chan
nels of production and distribution in
order that Bible truth may be the
more widely disseminated.
Local Bible Societies are particu-
larly concerned with the problem of
distribution. This could be greatly
simplified if every church would keep
on display a small assortment of BIZ
bles, Testaments and Portions, which
could be purchased for very small
outlay. The BREWER Bible published by
the American Bible Society costs but
60 cents, and is known as number P53.
A smaller volume in minion type is
published at 80 cents, and is known as
number P43. Testaments may be had
for five cents, and the entire New Tes-
lament in eleven individual volumes
for eleven cents.
These individual volumes of the
Gospels and Epistles are known as
Portions" and are beautifully bound,
each volume having on its cover a
picture appropriate to its message.
For example, the Gospel of Matthew
portrays an olive tree; St. Mark, the
sea of Galilee; st. Luke, Nazareth; st.
John, one of the gates of Jerusalem;
The Acts, a tomb of Jerusalem.
The Bible Society has learned from
some of its friends that the penny
Portions are being used in several
unique and most effective ways. One

man, an empploye of a gas, electric
light and power company, purchases
Portions by the carton-five hundred

uals to whom he has talked about the
Way of Life, often in the hospitals of
our city, where he is welcome Wis
itor.
A woman gathers together group
of interested children, after the Sum
day school lesson, and has them read
the book upon which the lesson is
based while the lesson is still fresh
in their minds; but without comment,
her purpose being to give the children
connected view of the Book as
whole. She reports sustained interest,
and purposes to continue this most
commendable practice.
The Presbyterian Eye, Ear and
Throat Hospital of Baltimore, main
tains rack in its lobby, which is kept
supplied with Portions in English, Pol
ish, French, Italian and German, and
from which hundreds of these little
volumes have gone out to be blessing
to multitude of earnest readers.
The Portions should be attractive as
companion volumes to Pell's Notes, in
classes where these compact little
commentaries are in use. Both may be
carried in the vest pocket and may
thus be ready for use in those frag-
ments of time when waiting for ap-
pointments, riding on street cars or at
any other time when without these lit
tie volumes many minutes might be
lost.

'SThe Word of Our God Shall Stand Forever"

1884, when the river had reached the
greatest height ever known, it had
come only to certain level in the
town, and after a long journey to
the next village higher up they found
shelter for the night.
Later the father went back to see
how far the water had risen and was
barely able to make out his own house
and the one next door by roofs ap-
pearing above the water. When the
flood had receded they found that the
radio and their clothes stored in the
attic of the neighbours house had not
been harmed, but everything down
stairs in both houses had been ruined
and the bookcase overturned. In the
middle of the room they found Franks
Sunfower Bible water-soaked and COW

given Frank new Bible, not so beau

won as a prize in Sunday school, but
as he reads his new one he finds within
its covers the same beautiful truths"

The Sun1Ower Bible
By REV. EDGAR CoRDELL POWERS,
Executive Secretary


Executive Secretary
The following true story from the
pen of Rev. G. Bruce Cameron, Secre-
tary of the Cincinnati District of the
American Bible Society, may lead
some of our readers to join in this
gracious service to the sufferers of
striker districts. A gift sent now to
the American Bible Society will great
ly assist in replacing many Bibles lost
as Franks lovely gift Bible was lost.
Announcement was made by the
superintendent that prize of a Bible
bound in leather would be given to
the boy or girl raising the largest
sunfower. Seeds were given out and
Isunfowers began sprouting all over
Newton. Frank wanted that Bible; so
he watered and tended his sunfower
faithfully day after day. Even Jack,
who grew the we'll known bean stalk
didn't give his plant more care.
"Then came the day for measuring.
Each one brought his sunfower to the
superintendent desk. The foot rule
showed the first flower to have diam
eter of. nine inches; the next measured
eleven inches and the next ten and a
half. Then came one that measured
eleven and half inches and it looked
like it won the prize. But there was
commotion at the back of the room
and in came Frank a little late to
Sunday school Juggling his sunfiower.
The superintendent laid his rule across
it but it fell short, for the width of
the sunfower outran the length of the
ruler. Frank had won the prize. His
sunfower had a span of IS inches.
"The Bible came in lovely box and
was kept that way until Frank began
reading his Bible every night before
going to bed. Then he found a place
for it on the top shelf of the book
case. Later when the teacher in his sis
ter's department asked that every pu-
pill bring his Bible to Sunday school,
Frank allowed his sister to take his
Bible, but carefully stipulated that she
must always return it to it's place in
the bookcase.
when the Ohio River went so far
over its banks in January, Newton
was in the path of the flood. But
Franks house was high up in the town
so his family did not worry. One night
they noticed the people on the street
below moving out in boats and they
were told the water was going to rise
into their house that night. They
quickly gathered up the radio and
few clothes which they put in the attic
room in the next house next door, as
they had no second story to their
house. But, like most of the flood
threatened people of the Ohio Valley,
Franks father and family stayed in
the house unwilling to believe that
the water would really evict them. At
length they went to bed,
"In the middle of the night, after
very sudden rise in the river, they
were awakened by the father who told
them that the water was already above
the floor of the house and still rising.
They called for help and were taken
off in rowboat. In the excitement of
getting away, they all forgot about
the Sunf1ower Bible on the top shelf of
the bookcase. But Franks father told
him that he didn't see how the water
could possibly reach that high. He
comforted Frank be rehearsing how in

out anywhere. What should I do?
Ans: I am afraid that the fault
lies with you as much as with your
husband. Change your whole out
look on life as well as change your
APPEARANCE. He loves beauty.
And try to keep yourself so very
attractive in his eyes that he
wouldn't want to look at anyone
else.
A. L. Tt would like to know
if my boy friends people sent him
away to keep him from me? Does
he care as much for me as I do for
him?
Ans: He doesn't if he did
then no one could keep him from
going with you. 1t is quite true
that his parents objected to his
getting married so young but they
did not have any personal dislike
for you. He will not return to you.
L. W.-You have helped me be-
fore so please help me again. Tell
me if you think that I am going
to make a trip this summer?
Ans: Get in touch with one of
your close relatives for it seems
to me that you will visit someone
related to you within the next three
months. The latter part of your
question is a little too personal for
me to put in the column. Why not
write for a private reply?
G. L. S.-Please tell me what
happened to my girl friends
money? Did someone take it?
Does she care for me?
Ans: She misplaced the money
The party that she suspected had
nothing to do with the disappear
ance of this money as she will FIND
IOut. The girl in question is exceed
: ingly fond of you.
St. Paul recorder. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1937-05-21

L. C. S-Will the plans I have
work out favorably this year? Is
there anything at all good for me?
Ans: Put some more serious
thought on this proposition before
YOU invest the sum of money you
inherited. I am inclined to believe
that you can't do as well as you
have been told with this business.
Why not stay in the line of work
that you know so well?
E. E. E.-Why is my husband so
disagreeable some times?
Ans: They all GET THAT
WAY. Your husband has not been
feeling up to 'par" for the past
few months. A good vacation and
rest would do him a lot of good.
Try to save enough money before
August so that you can take a va
cation together.
D. A.-Would it be worthwhile
for me to make the trip to try to
find a job that I have in mind?
Ans: Certainly it would be
worth while for you to find employ
ment and it isn't likely that you
will get what you want in your
present location. If you can get the
money to go to Washington, then
do so for you should be able to get
the kind of job you desire.
C. H. RI am attending school
and I find myself dearly in love
with my instructor. Does he love
me?
Ans: No but he does like
you and wants to see you get aheat
in life. His interest in you is no
personal but is the same that HI
holds for all of his pupils. -
H. P. P.-What is wrong will
my husband? He doesn't give mt
any money and he never takes MT

Hello, Folks:
Well, fishing season opened with
bang on the 18th. At least, one
young man 1 know said it did. He
got up at a. m. and drove 60
miles up state to a lake teemlng
with pickerel. The day before was
spent in buying license, new reel,
minnow pail and various bats. His
car, newly overhauled, ran beauti-
fully; his new reel worked to per-
lection and his lunch was deli
cious. He says if any one wants
the name of this wonderful lake
and its exact latitude and longi-
tude just drop in a card and he'll
be glad to answer all inquiries.
Oh! yes. He had one huge nibble
and an enormous bite, so there
must be lots of pickerel there! He
had a great trip, he says.
The Phyllis Wheatley baseball
players seem to be gaining quite
bit of popularity. I hear num-
Der of our Twin City gals are &C

deah. How thrilling it must be
to see your "Heart beat" out there
making home runs ZEN everything.
Did you know: Cliff Hawkins
told Sal he eats real cold cream for
breakfast. "Yeh," he said, "cold
cream, that stuff women put on
their face" He says that's why
he's getting so beautiful cause he
eats it daily.
The latest fad: The other eve
ming Horace Bell started everyone
on a "hold your breath" contest.
Timothy Mills, Warren Grissom
and Bell were all in the contest and
Sal did the timekeeping. Grissom
and Bell were the champions, by a
TWO minute record.
The latest bit of gossip: What
young st. Paul husband stayed out
It'll a a. m. last Saturday night and
had to make the doorstep his bed I?
Why? Cause WHEY wouldn't let
him in.
Did you know: That a Mime
apolis couple WAS very happy
over the prospect of a blessed
event? The latest news has it
that it isn't a blessed event but
two bundles from Heaven. Are
they still happy? -. What South
Minneapolis girl seems to have it
real bad these days over a certain
out-of-towner? For his sweet
sake she attended church four
times last Sunday. (Ain't love just
too grand) :. What st. Paul girl
sported black eye the other eve
ming? (Another case of "ain't
love grand.")
