You Pharisees had better pass on, for in your own opinion, at least, you are perfect, and that being the case you can very well dispense with my company, but these poor unfor= tunates need me, and for that reaxoa tam keeping company with them.” Continuing, the Great Teacher, look- ing the holy fault-finders squarely in the eve, sald, “And by the way, It would pay you to recall the place in our Scripture where it says, ‘I desire MERCY and not SACRIFICH, You are strict conformists.

The root of the word is the Proper name of the mythical person |called Tantalus, who was condemned by his father, Zeus, to stand up to jhis chin in water, which receded | whenever he tried to slake his thirst. To “tantalize,” then, ls to put a person in a position of annoying em- barrassment similar to that in which the vengefulness of the “father of gods and men” put his offending son, From the same mythological root too we obtain the obscure word “tantalum,” a metal almost as diffi- |cult to obtain as !t was for Tantalue to get a drink | Ten-Minute Studies of New York City Government Puliah| New York Evening World), | By Willis Brooks Hawkins.
