Overseer M. J. Mintern,
Editor of The Theocrat,
Zion, Illinois.
Dear Overseer Mintern:
We offer to you our con-
gratulations on the forthcom-
ing merger of Zion's two week
ly papers-The Theocrat and
The Community News.
This move is no doubt the
result of much serious consid-
Grafton on your part and we
are sure it is a move that will
be benefit to the City of Zion
and that it will bring to us a
paper containing the best fea-
lures of both it's predecessors.
There probably has been an
unnecessary duplication of eff
fort in having both papers and
this merger shows a spirit of
cooperation which speaks we'll
for the future of the City of
Zion.
Again, congratulations!
Sincerely,
EXCHANGE CLUB
OF ZION
Leburn 0. Boyd, President.

Almost four centuries ago there
broke out in the Netherlands the
so-called Eighty Years War. This
war marked great rebellion against
foreign rule.
The name Of the Netherlands was
used, at that time, to describe the
land which Is in two modern coun-
tries, Holland and Belgium. The
northern section-now known as
Holland or the Netherlands-was
the scene Of most of the fighting
The Spanish King, or Emperor
claimed the Netherlands as part
of his empire, and there was
reason for his claim. Some of his
ancestors had ruled the area.
The people of the Netherlands
were treated fairly well during the
early period Of Spanish rule, but
King Philip II proved to be harsh
master. He sent the cruel Duke
of Alva to manage the country
along with 10000 soldiers.

Uncle Rays Corner
BY Romon Coffmon

Among the Dutch who wanted
their freedom were seafaring men
who spent their lives chiefly aboard
sailing vessels. They kept away
from the reach of Spain. Some Of
them did a great deal Of fishing.
Others worked as privateers and
captured Spanish supply ships. The
Spaniards called these men Beg
gars Of the Sea-"
Among the cities which fought
for freedom was one called Leyden.
Ie was laid under siege, and an
effort was made to starve the people
into surrender.
Weeks passed, and there was
hunger in Leyden. Some Of the
leaders felt that it would be better
to give up the city than to die by
starving. Then some pigeons ar
rived. They were homing pigeons,
and they brought promise from
other Dutch rebels, promise OF
food.

This is the time of the year when
It is the practice of sportswriters,
dramatic critics and book reviewers
to make reference to the high lights
of the season that has just been put
away into the archives.
I have formed the habit OF de-
parting from this custom by placing
on view each year the hand that
aroused the greatest storm OF pro-
test from those of my readers who
took pains to assert themselves. The
greatest avalanche Of badgering mail
is almost invariably brought on by
disagreement with a bidding prin-
ciple announced by this correspond
ent. It was of special interest, there
fore, to find that No. on this years
"hit" parade was the above hand
originally published on November 16
which dealt primarily with ques-
ton of play.
Shortly after that date letters,
varying in tone all the way from
cordiality down to outright acidity,
started drifting in from all sections
of the continent, calling attention to
nv error in analysis. had pointed
out that after the opening OF the
king of diamonds, the actual de-
clarer had fallen into the error OF
drawing two rounds of trumps and 1t
then became impossible to fulfill the
contract. It was suggested that after
winning the opening lead, declarer
should cash the ace Of hearts, enter
his own hand with the queen OF
spades, ruff heart in dummy, draw
trumps and claim the balance OF the
tricks. It was my impression that
the situation had been completely
summed up in the closing sentence
of my dissertation, to wit: "Six clubs,
four spades, two aces and a heart
ruff in dummy, add up to Is tricks"
This was a bit too laconic for some
of my constituents, who insisted
upon knowing what happened to
the deuce of diamonds" BY a
strange coincidence, three of the ad-
libers from entirely different parts
of the country inclosed in their let
ters a playing card (of course, the
deuce of diamonds), to replace the
one had apparently lost. When I
pointed out that dummy's deuce Of
diamonds is eventually discarded on
South's fourth trump, I could Wis
uaIize the look of alarm that came
over their faces. Who ever heard OF
discarding anything on a trump?
Hard work had taken its toll from
the weary professor, they unused.
But it was by no means tragic, for
in certain circles the belief is cur
rent that while it is not absolutely
essential to success for tournament
player to be unbalanced, it is re-
garded as a distinct advantage.
It is extraordinary that so many
readers should have fallen victim to
this optical Illusion. Had the ruff
occurred in the closed hand it would
have been easier to understand for
this illusion very frequently takes
place in dummy reversal plays, where
it is not always easy to visualize the
dummy as the master hand. But
this was a simple case Of ruffing in
dummy, a commonplace occurrence

Biblical Language.

Several ministers and religious
workers have requested a discussion
of the correct use of the Biblical
thou, thee, thy, thine" etc. One
writes, 1T is customary to use these
forms in spoken prayers; but I dc
not understand the difference be-
tween thou and thee, thy and thine
and so forth"
1t is important to get them
straight; to do so, we'll have tc
consider grammar, as well as bibli-
cal usage.
Thou is nominative, second per.
son, singular; that is, it Is used In
speaking directly to single person
or the deity who creates the action
Example: Thou preparest a table
before me
Thee Is objective, second person,
singular, used in speaking TO a
single person or the deity who re-
ceives the action. Example: Much
learning doth make thee mad"
Ye is nominative, second person,
plural, used in speaking to two or
more persons who create the action
Example: aye cannot serve God and
Mammon."
You is objective, second person,
plural, used in speaking to two or
more persons who receive the action.
Example: ASK, and 1t shall be given
you."
aThy is the possessive your, and is
used before words beginning with a
consonant. Example: "Thy rod and
thy staff they comfort me-"
Thine Is the possessive your, and
Is used before words beginning with
vowel and sometimes before words
beginning with 'h." Example:
Take thine ease, eat, drink and be
merry" "Set thine house in order.
My is used before words beginning
with q consonant. Example: MY
little daughter lieth at the point Of
DEATH"
