‘<M the traditional method,’’ 
says Prof. Youtz, ‘‘a divine revela- 
tion is, like Melchizedek, without 
pedigree or descent. To the mod- 
ern method revelation is, like a 
well-born child, rich in ancestry 
and potential of divine truth.’’ 
Never be afraid of catching cold from 
a shower of curls. 
The pugilist who struck a_ preacher 
claims to be an expounder of the gospel. 
Bishop Earl put this question rather 
suddenly to a little boy who stood trem- 
bling at the head of his Sunday school 
class: ‘‘ Who made the world?’’?’ The 
little fellow with quavering voice replied, 
“‘T didn’t.’? The bishop, astonished at 
the answer demanded, ‘‘what do you 
mean?’’ Still more frightened, the lad 
replied, ‘‘If I did I won’t do it again,’?
