It was charged on the streets that he. tempted fortune with the cards and had lost heavily. A proprietor of a gambling resort said that Grantham was in his place on the night he disappe and that he twisted the tiger's tail.

Upon this particular occasion the people scofied ana asked of the disciples: “What kind of a leader have vou that ho will associute and sit at the table with such men? ‘Lhis. the speaker snid, worried apostles und they at once wont to Christ, telling Him of the questions that had beer| asked and the comments that had been mudg, the Divine Love of God.

Unhappiness, Dr. Coppen contended, was the root of all evil; it was one of the prime couses of sinfulness and an enemy that was found iu every community, 1t could, how- be overcome if neonle were more ready cast their burdens upon the Lord and scek iim when they were in need of reliof.
