Fish Story, But
It's Really True
j Maybe fish don't have the
teeth to make much of an im-
pression but Fred Turner can
attest that they pack a mean wal-
lop in their fins.
Turner received his injury
on a recent fishing trip and
was admitted to the Sweet-
water hospital Wednesday
lor treatment of what he be-
lieved was a snake bite.
It turned out that the fin of
his fish had caught him neatly
on tli earm and cut deep enough
to hit a nerve.
Turner has been dismissed from
the hospital and :s improving.
How's the fish getting along?
That's anyones guess.

Ties Boat To Tree;

RACINE (UP) — A Milwau-

of human nature.
It seems A. ,1. Niemiec chained
a new 14-foot rowlxiat to a tree
at Norton's Lake in Racine coun-
ty last weekend. He was sure it
would be safe.
Today he told Milwaukee po-
lice both the tree and the boat
are gone. Somebody cut the tree
down and made off with his priz-
ed rowboat.

things
pulpits
if some
in this
conflict
you hear from the pulpits. What
do you suppose is the trouble? |
Do we not all read the same Bi-
ble? Certainly we do. It is the
same Bible you have in your
home. Although one may read1
the old "Authorized" or "King I
James" version, and another may i
read the "American Standard!
Version," they record exactly the
same thing. There is sometimes
slight differences in how they
translate if and the words they
each use. Why. then, is thej
difference in what this column
contends for and what some pul- j
pits say is just as good? Is it be- j
cause we do not all understand
the Bible alike? That is a reason
given by some people for the
differences. But that does not
make sense. If you, and I, and
a dozen others, all read the same
sentence, and if we all under-
stand the meanings of the same
words, then we must all gain the
same ideas. No two persons can
read the same words and have
correct definitions of the words
and have any difference in under-
standing. Two plus two equals
four everywhere with everyone.
That is if we all understand what
"Two" means and what "Plus"
means. We can go to the diction-
ary and find out the meaning
of the words. If we understand
the meaning of the words alike
we perceive the idea conveyed in
those words exactly alike. Any-
thing else is impossible. If there
is any difference in conclusion
it will be because there is a dif-
ference in the meaning given to
the words used. Friend, don't let
anyone deceive you into think-
ing the differences in preaching
urn I practicing in religious af-
fairs is because we cannot all un-
derstand the Bible alike. If we
all understand it all, we all un-
derstand it alike. Worship with

CONCORD (I.'P) — When trip-
let sons were born to Mr and
Mrs, John Sablone of Concord,
Mass., JJ years ago, they solved
the name problem by calling
tlieni Primo, seeondo, and Terzo
—which, translated, means first,
second and third.
When the boys were drafted
for military service, they left,
home in one-two-three order. %
And when they were discharg-tt
ed — as fate would have it —
they came home in the same or->
dor: first Primo, then Seeon-
do and finallv, Terzo.
