And the disciple went their way and
found the colt tied tn front of a house
where two way met, and there wa a
crowd of men loafing about the place;
and If they were In any way like the
bunch In our day, they were whittling,

The disciple began untying tha colt.

The divine philosophy, as demonstrated
by thousands of church members, breeds
more Infidels than all the Psines, Park

As a principle Increases In Its meaning
It decreases In the number that should
adhere to that principle.
I said to a minister one time: "How
many members have you 7"
He said: "Eight hundred and seventy
two; but there are ITS I do not count."
I asked: "Out of the number you do
