Hotel Lincoln. |

{health and physical - education | |bureau of the State Department | lof Health, said untrained health | | inspectors could be replaced with | [trained engineers at a saving to] any community.

‘Can Cover 3 Jobe’

“A trained man can cover three jobs while an inspector of the type {now employed is’ doing one he ‘said. “He can do the job better.” |

“In a case of epidemic a trained | ‘engineer is able to view the problem | as a whole. He knows where to] look for focal points of infection | in a community's sewage system | and he is able to watch intelli gently the sources and ‘distribution | lof food, milk and water supply. ] "In such cases an untrained man |is helpless except for his specific | knowledge. A man whose job it is (to inspect only milk isn't expected ! to know’ about sewers but he can't | do a health job well unless he does.”

| Dr. Rice said inspectors in many | cases acted only with police power and forbade certain practices with{out being able to suggest a

Jesus put the truth in the vivid story form of parables, and these have retained all the vitality and freshness, after nearly 20 centuries and after the reading and rereading that would long ago have ended as commonplace any lesser or even more brilliant things.

About this, we do not know, but it seems more likely that they were stories formed by the imagination of Jesus to declare and illustrate~thé truth that He wished to teach. They were
