Casimir Witucki. husky Indiana

at his own version of other names.
Veterans who have felt the
sting of Kelly's choicer remarks

''You want a left or right?" he
asks one, who needs a shoestring.

shower floor and Kelly sings out
the old boxing cry, Get up and
get a draw"
Harry Gilmer sheepishly con-
fesses he left his cap on the field
and Kelly considers in loud tone
whether he should buy long rope
for the cap or hire an assistant
to pick up after Gilmer.
Kelly is never at loss for a reply
and seldom ever gets the worst of
an exchange.

Why Worship Together?

DuBLlc and private worship can
4 not be substituted for each 9th
er. Readers Of the Bible know how
they were intertwined In the ex.
periences of Gods people. and how
our Lord himself. who used TO at
tend the synagogue services regu-
larry. also sought God on the hills
alone. A man who never meets with
God alone in prayer will not know
how TO come TO public worship In
the true spirit; and man who
habitually stays away from church
for no good reason is not a person
whose private prayer-life is likely
to be a healthy one.
We need TO worship together
with other Christians. We need
this experience TO strengthen
our own prayer-life. We need
II TO keep us from sclfiShucSs
In our prayers. Intense, earnest
prayer. and full of faith too,
may be seriously wrong II II
Is essentially selfish.
In corporate, public worship we
are reminded that none OF us stands
alone: that God has many children
We need 20 worship together be-
cause II is one Of the very few
things, perhaps the only one, thai
all human beings can do as one
No two Of us are alike, yet we are
alike in this one thing. We are al
human beings in need OF God TC

OF this.
