- My falther, who was a clergyman,
used to say: “It do^s not surprise me
that more people do not go to chureh.
On the contrary, I am forever being
amazed thaT'so many do gb.**^ He. went
op to ask: “Why do people go?^’ And
h6 ansv^ered by. .saying that they go
to hear themselves called sinners, to
be told that they have done wrong
during th€_we€k and have been a dis
appointment to themselves and the
asked
vantage of being able to bury their
mistakes.”
Third remark: “When the lawyers
talk about ‘cleaning up the bar’ they
know it is just talk and that nothing
will l|)e done. They want the law to be
intricate and involved because that
makes more work Tor lawyers.” -^
Fourth remark: “I don’t read ad
vertising any more; it is so exagger
ated and misleading.”
Each of these remarks reminded me
of .the very wise advice 'of an older
editor when, years ago, I was placed
in charge of a magazine. He said:

are not efficient people in the world.

Those who know the Inside facts about
