old Marmaduke Cricket, who wrote his life
story with the help of an author named
Candeze in "The Curious Adventures of a Field
Cricket" He always seemed to me to be the
greatest performer that branch of the family
ever produced. But he was always mighty
careful not to brag He just stuck to facts. For
instance: ITO own the truth, he said, Il have
very good opinion of my own personal appear

time he was performing for kingdom of ants
on his travels: my success was prodigious,"
he noted, quite unprejudicedly. Just stating
facts you see.

afflicted with palsy. They could
not get through the people with the
man on his bed, so they tool! him on
the roof and let him down, on his
couch, through the ceiling and Jesus
healed Him. The scribes and Phar-
isees said among themselves that this
man-meaning Jesus-blasphemed,
for Jesus had told the sick man that
his sins were forgiven. Only God
could forgive sins, the Pharisees rea-
soned. But Jesus said:
whether is easier, to sya: Thy
sin be forgiven thee, or to say, Rise
up and walk" Both deeds are I'M
