. What I Lecrrned About Spirituality From The Hecthen

(Editor's Note-Many years ago I listened to an address by a Christian missionary just returned from a long stay in India, and the following portion of his remarks made a great impression on 'me.)

I had heard this serious looking, dignified Hindu mention the name of God several times, and I had a strong desire to ask him his idea of God. I refrained for some time, thinking it might be embarrassing to ask a heathen about God. I know it would embarrass the average American to ask him that question, and how much more it would likely embarrass this heathen.

But one day I plucked up my courage, and when I heard him mention God-in most reverent fashion-I asked him if he could and would tell me his idea of who and what God is. He replied: "Why surely, my friend, I will be glad to tell you. It is so simple, when you really understand God, to explain about him. I will tell you just as my father told me.

"When I was a boy of ten, my father took me out one day into the Garden. It was a wonderful day in spring. The sun was shining. The sky was blue and clear. The air was filled with the song of birds, and everywhere nature was smiling. The grass and fowers and shrubs were wonderful in their spring garments, the perfume of the flowers was everywhere, and everything was delightful to the eye, the ear, and all the senses.

"And my father said to me: 'Son, I've brought you out here to tell you about God, for it is time that you knew and understood Him. Now, son, when you see all these beautiful trees, and flowers, and other delightful growing and blooming things of the world, and all the other good and beautiful things that surround you and delight your heart and mind, always remember this, my son; that God made all these good and beautiful things. He MADE all the good and beautiful things; He is In all these good and beautiful things; He is OF all these good and beautiful things; God IS all that is good and beautiful.

"'And, son, when you hear the music of the songs of birds, and the rustle of the wind in the trees, and the song of the brook, and all the harmonious and wonderful things that surround you in life, remember this: that God made all that harmony. He MADE all harmony i He is IN all harmony; He is OF all harmony, my son.

"'And, son, when you see this wonderful light that illu,mines the world, making all living things to grow, and all beautiful and harmonious things to live, and making it possible for us to see and enjoy all these wonderful things of the world, remember this, my son: that God made the light. God MADE the light; He is IN the light; He is OF the light; He IS the light, my sen.

" 'Ahd, son, remember this: that as you go through life your duty is simply to remember that you must never DO anything, or SAY anything, or THINK anything that will mar the GOODNESS and the BEAUTY and the HARMONY and the LIGHT that God made. and that God IS."'

Stcrtus Quo

Everything's quickly returning to normal; Salesmen are calling again at the door, Children are sending in box tops and labels, Trade-ins appear in the ads once more. Penny sales emerge from the limbo, Two-pants sriits are a 10 to 1 bet; Credit is easing and selling is brisker, Soon we'll be comfortably back into debt.

Alexander McGlue

The death angel smote Alexander McGlue, And gave him protracted repose, He wore a checked shirt and a number nine shoe, And he had a pink wart on his nose. No doubt he is happier dwelling in space, Over there on the evergreen shore, His friends are informed that his funeral takes place Precisely at quarter-past four.

-Max Adeler.

Didn't Need No Bqll

One of the toughest football stars of the East went West to spend the summer on a big ranch. The cowboys of the neighborhood, having heard of the fame of this player, asked him to teach them the game. So he lined up a couple of husky elevens, and explained to them the first rudiments of the game. Said he:

"Mind, men, if you can't kick the ball, kick one of your opponents. Now, let's get on with the game. Where is the ball ?"

"O, to hell with the ball," said a big cowboy, "let's get on with the game."
