TODAY’S BIBLE THOUGHT Moreover it is required of stewards that they be found faithful. I Cor. 4:2.—We have been entrusted with fabulous treasures. The hydrogen bomb may destroy cities, but the teachings of the Bible have raised whole civilizations from the weakness and ignorance of slaves to world leadership. It is the motive power in the lives of countless good and great men

West opened the five of hearts, East put up the jack, and South won with the queen. Declarer could count three spades and two hearts. He needed four tricks in clubs and diamonds to make his

three tricks.

We remember the time that your columnist and Don’s younger brother, Phil, sprayed water from a garden hose on Don and his college date as they sat in a swing on the front porch.
Needless to say, we had to make a quick disappearance immediately afterwards.
Lester Conrad tells us that he remembers quite well the first time he tuned in KFI, the California station, on his radio.
He said it was about 3 o’clock in the morning some thirty-odd years ago.
We still say it was a real thrill to get those distant stations in the early 1920’s when radio was a far cry from today’s TV.
Dr. J. A. Throop also remembers KFI and the Kansas City Night Hawks.
We are glad that the mystery of the court house tree has been settled. Names of various kinds of trees were mentioned but it took Conservation Officer James Smith to say it was a hackberry.
Here’s best wishes for a most successful Little League baseball season.

They will also learn team play which is vital in any profession or industry.
And in closing may we extend heartiest congratulations to all the DePauw seniors who will receive their coveted diplomas Sunday.
God speed you, ladies and gentlemen of the Class of 1957.
