EDITOR STILL
“PUNY” BUT IS
BACK ON THE JOB
Just can’t keep a good man
down.
Ye editor is back at work
just as if nothing had happen
ed, but iie has been suffering a
great deal with his neck, where
the Doctor cut out, “whatever
the thing was” some called it
a wind, others a cist, and the
Doctor had a “high saluting”
name for it. It is gone and
we are glad.
Many of our friends have been
extra nice to us, some of them
needing printing and realizing
that ye editor was working un
der handicaps have understood
and been mighty nice. Others
do not seem to understand that
one man can only do so much,
whether he is sick or well-
But if we do not break a leg
or suffer some other “catastro
phe”, we hope to soon be hitting
on all four and satisfy most
of those that have been on ou.'
shirt tail for the past weeks.

Our Paper Pulpit
Bruce Wilson
Let me borrow our thoughts
this morning from a magazine
which I prize very highly. The
writer is deploring the increase
of irresponsibility among Amer
icans. It has become so preva
lent, he notes, to discuss guilt
in others that we are insensitive
to our own sins. After all, have
we not been taught that we are
what we are because of hered
ity, environment, and the mis
takes of our parents'* The
modern prodigal, if he ever
comes to himself and returns
to his father’s house prays
thus: “Father, I’ve got my
self into a lot iof trouble- I
suppose that you think that I’ve
done wrong. But after all it’s
your fault - the way you
brought me up. Particularly,
it’s mom’s fault. In a far
country- to which I went I met
a psychiatrist who told me that
in away I was a victim of
‘ momism” and not much to
blame. He might have fixed
me up, but I couldn’t find his
price among the husks which
the swine did eat and which I
was forced to share.
