Slips of the Brain At a club meeting a bunch of women got to telling of mistakes children had made in Bible A little girl came home from Sunday school and said the text had been "Draw a knife on God, and He will draw a knife on you."

He wanted to honor the state by coming here to live but 'there was no room at the So John Curry has gone to Wisconsin State university where they have provided a job for him and where he is known as 'an atrist in They have built him a small studio on the campus and have turned him loose without much schedule and are making him an influence rather than an instructor. He teaches little and talks a lot, paints when he wants to, makes what he can on the side, and gets $4,000 a year as a salary.

Are you a liability or asset to the church? All that is good or wholesome in life has come from the Head of the Church. Are you supporting the church? Then you are an asset.
