Religious Paper Adds to Stock of Ford Stories.

Some one has said that one can judge of the denonunat-on to which a, man belongs by the automobile which he is running. If it is a red one and going along the road like fury, the owner is a Methodist; if it is a drab one, running at a moderate pace, the owner is a Presbyterian; if it is a limousine, closed in, the owner is either a high toned, exclusive Episcopalian or close communion Baptist. If it is a “silent six” the owner is a Quaker. But if it is a Ford, the owner is a Christian Scientist—he simply thinks he is operating a motor car. —Western Christian Advocate.
