Among the citations which com-

earth, so are my ways higher than
your way, and my thoughts that
your thoughts” (Isaiah 55:9).
The Lesson-Sermon also in-
cludes the following passage from

“Science and Health with Key to
the Scriptures” by Mary Baker
Eddy: “Mortals must look beyond
fading, finite forms, if they would
gain the true sense of things’i

SH TIE KIINIII
By ROY L. LYON
MAMA’S DARLING DAUGHTER
I was in one of the largest cities
in Texas the other day for a con-
ference, and as is my custom, I
was thirty minutes early. On find-
ing no one else had arrived at the
meeting place, I went down the
street for a cup of coffee.
Being a small town man, I still
get a kick out of sitting around a
coffee shop, listening to the city
people talk. Boy, I got an earful
that morning. Two married women
(whose only identification as mar-
ried women was the wedding ring
they wore) were talking to the
man who ran the place. All sorts
of “cute” remarks were being
made, which would have embar-
rassed the speakers if they had
been recorded and played back in
the presence of their husband.
One of these wives began to un-
veil her domestic habits for the
enjoyment of the rest. It was re-
vealed that she never eats break-
fast. At home, before her marriage,
mother always let her sleep until
five minutes before time to go to
school. I missed her next statement
because I was cutting my way out
of a dense fog of smoke which she
aimed at my coffee cup, but which
made a direct hit on my nostrils.
(I tried not to cough because I did
not want to embarrass her.) But
while I was fighting my way out,
I caught visions of a topsy-turvy
bed room with the sheets on the
floor, a rug wadded up in the mid-
dle, cleansing tissues on the dress-
er in profusion, the blinds drawn
tight, a filmy gown thrown over an
awry pillow—all waiting for darl-
ing hubby to come in and straight-
en out, when he returned from his
day’s work.
She went on to say that kids al-
ways got on her nerves and she
was talking hubby out of a famfly
as long as she could. After all,
who could “honky-tonk” with a
half dozen kids around? Another
thing she couldn’t understand was
why men were such “fussers.” Af-
ter all she made nearly as much
money as hubby, and he had better
watch out what he said to her.
There was always that room at
home with mamma, and she would
be welcome any time she wished to
return.
Small wonder that there are di-
vorces galore, if there are many
more like “mamma's darling daugh-
ter.” Mamma ought to sit in sack-
cloth and ashes for ten years for
raising such a parasite.
TOO MUCH EXCITEMENT
CAUSED HIS DEATH
LADONIA—An explosion of an
oil stove, followed by a fire which
completely destroyed his home,
proved too much for L. O. Mc-
Farland. He died of a heart attack,
brought on by the excitement.
‘GOOD LUCK’ TREATMENT
FAILS TO EASE PAINS
GROESBECK—W. B. Sanders,
65-year-old farmer living near here
was promised a “cure” for his rheu-
matism, by a trio of Gypsies pass-
ing through the neighborhood last
week. One of the women massaged
him and repeated over and over:
“Good luck.” After they were gone
Sanders looked in his wallet, and
discovered that $136 was missing.
Now his rheumatism is worse, and
officers are looking for the “heal-
