Chapter 15 Tiivitation To The Ball undivided attention of the of freaks was on the shooting-gal- lery man and William. So was the undivided attention of the grou; of bystanders. The shooting-gal- lery man, evidently accustomed to ponbety: bore up exceedingly well under these batteries of eyes. Not'so William, He began to feel acutely uncomfortable. Striving for nonchalance, he passed a finger around the inside of his collar. Then, aware immediately that this gesture had failed to establish hin as @ gen’ who-is confidently at ease, he took off his hat and wi 3 his face with. a handker- le: “Tee hee,” gurgled’ Pearl the snake-charmer, in the midst of this operation. William reddened, His not to know that Pearl was merely gig- fing. out of the lightness of her The shooting- spoke again, testily. “Well, c’mon,.c’mun,” ne said to Horace and Morris. “What's da matter wid you dopes?” The fact that they were sent for seemed to dawn simultaneously on Horace and Morris East, They arose as one. As one they pushed their way through the assemblage of monstrosities. As one they cov- ered the few feet to the edge.of the platform, And Mr. William Steele, gazing at them with eyes that would have been notable even in the head of a Bobhergasted gold- sentation. He gripped the platforms I : e platform xe both hands and ipalety: magnate turned to the allery man, osh,” he exclaimed mg “what is.it?” ‘The shooting-gallery man was a sticker for facts. “Tt ain't an. ‘it’,”: he. corrected. “It'stwo of em.” “Yes, I see. B-but .. .” “Aow,” said the shooting-gallery man, “what’s da matter? Ain’t ya| in never seen Siamese twins before?” Came the dawn for Mr. William Stedle of California, At long last he understood the mystery of those pe! ing letters after the name of the East brothers in the Man- hattan telephone directory. He ‘was suddenly aware of the reason for the sinister leer and cryptic speéch of the. delicatessen man. And he was likewisé aware that, unless he wanted to drop one thou- sand cold smackers, he would ap- pear in due course in a fashionable section of Long Island looking like the guy who invented that useful crack anent two birds,and but a single stone; Recovering sotnewhaf*from his astonishment, hé now. took-time out and studied’ the Messrs. East. They weré small men, smooth- faced and owlish of ¢ye: Separated frortthe.other, either would have: beet a Gradé A- nonenity. They got across purely because they were joined Morris lay a short. degree to andata weird, oblique angle. Hor- ace: returned the compliment by st ‘2 short degree to the right ‘is at a similar angle. To add tothe confusion, they were dead ringers for each other. Fur- ther than that, through long and: close association, snaps, they had formed the habit of acting simul- taneously. Did Horace cough, Mor- ris did likewise. Were Morris to incline his head in one direction, Horace felt it incumbent to incline | 4 his head in the same direction, If Horace’s nosé ys a did the nose of Morris.

We jall agree on one thing—that we! lought to be different, and that the world ought to be different. If people were different.and had the power to change the men-and the nations, that would -be. the answer to all our problems, And. that is what the Oxford Group believes. It is just as simple and |matural and .normal as that, and. it is just what everybody is wait- Why don’t we reach the age of sanity and do it : Events are focusing us to the jonly program of sane control— | God-control. I was called - into conference with. one of the great world statesmen, He simply said ; that he was living in an insane world—a world that had not yet grasped the great truth that the only sane people in an insane | world are those who are guided |by God. He was perplexed. and dumbfounded by the colossal ex- penditure on armaments. He saw the taxes mounting before’ his eyes which ‘someone ultimately ‘would have to pay. We will find our national security only in Moral Re-Armament. The choice is guidance or guns. We must listen to guidance or we will j listen to guns. The choice is be- tween a vortex of fear and a pageant of triumph. Program From God Del.
