Sinai, after all, and combed the assertion that they were not written on of stone by Jehovah. _ Maybe the learned rabbi is right. He ought to know at Teast as much about the Old Testament as Dr. Grant does about the New, and if they both say we should not inter- the Bible literally, perhaps that is so. Perhaps did stretch his imagination about that visit with Jehovah on the mountain top. But suppose that is so. We rise at this juncture to Observe that the aforesaid ten commandments have been about the best code of morals civilization has had for the ‘past score or more centuries, and whether they were @raven on stone or scratched on papyrus, they still seem Valuable guides for the consciences of folks. If Moses wrote the ten commandments by the help of Jehovah, it was a mighty worth-while undertaking for “both of them. Or if Moses wrote them all himself, and invented the story of his radio communication with Jeho- “Yah up there on the mountain, then it was a still greater achievement for one man. Or if those ten commandments just developed out of generations of progress in thought by one of the earliest Peoples to take the roundabout road to civilization—as we Strongly suspect to be the case, without casting any re- Mlections on Moses—they are still one of the greatest gifts to man recorded in history. Five Frenchmen will attempt a flight around the world. Even if they succeed it will not get them anywhere. The Proper Thing Q. What is the proper thing to say in congratulating a “newly married couple? A. Congratulate the groom, and wish the bride happi- ness, never vice versa, To the groom you may say, “I con- gratulate you upon your good fortune.” To the bride, “I Wish you all the happiness in the world.” Foregoing is from Cynthia Grey’s column and it is cor- fect, all right. But, in this propriety, as in most others, a are plenty of cant and considerable room for specula- n. The groom is supposed to be the more lucky of the pair, tho the lady be homely as a scalded Angora, with the dis- Position of an Arkansas shrew. Equality of risks or per- sonal qualities doesn’t figure. It is a time when woman has the superior rights. You see, if you walked up to the blushing bride, slapped her on the back and said, “I congratulate you,” she would take it that you thought her in luck in landing a husband efter all the years of struggle, or something like that. Nothing is more pleasing to a bride, especially if she’s one who hasn’t already made three or more launchings on the sea of matrimony, than to have a crowd pile at her with resounding wishes of happine: If she’s a bride not too well scarred up by little Cupid’s arro’ he will not observe thata shower of wishes for happiness carries a doubt about her getting it.
