to New York by bus for many
years-not since the guardian
ship of the GUARDIAN became
mine on the passing of my
brother, William Monroe Trot-

save time and having just three
days to spend with my relatives
in the big City" going and re-
turning between issues of THE
GUARDIAN. Well, 1 found the
bus trip most enjoyable from
any angle. And I found myself
musing-"are folks more friendly
than they used to be?y For our
fellow travellers seemed to be-
long to one big family. My seat
mate was a young CT. who
seemed 50 eager, albeit unob-
trusively, to add to my COM
fort, offering me the inside seat
and helping me dispose of my
bag and baggage, and the pale
faced young man who shared
his seat with our 8 year old got
50 chummy with the youngster
that later in the evening we saw
the latter cuddled in the young
mans lap and he seemed proud
to be faShering the small tan
lad.
During the night a lady in our
party would braAk out in sweet
but soft song which the other
bus travellers seemed almost
ready to join in with, instead OF
grumbling at having their titful
slumber disturbed. An amusing
incident to our folks was the
effusive farewelling of one in our
group to her husband who had
accompanied her to the bus ter
minal az Park Square.
Well, to make long story
short, we finally reached New
York about $40 AM, changed

arrived at Fathers Church,
one of the centers, an immense
throng of folks was assembled,
on the side walk, the steps, the
balcony and inside, occupying
every inch of room In the hall
and the adjacent rooms. But
there was no disorder, bags
were everywhere. There seemed
to be a hush--for listen, was that
not Father Divine speaking, his
voice carried to us by loud
speakers. And that sweet, well
modulated voice-was not that
the voice of the youthful

would be provided for us. A

While the conclusions one must
