Show Who It Was. A well-known Xew York clergyman was telling his Bible class the story of the Prodigal Son nt a recent session, and wishing to emphasize tho disagreeable disagree-able attitude of the- elder brother on that occasion, he laid especial stress on this phase of tho parable. After describing de-scribing the rejoicing of the household over the return of the wayward son, ho spoke of one who, in tho midst of the festivities, failed to share in the jubilant jubi-lant spirit of the occasion. "Can anybody in the class," he asked, "tell mo who this was?" A small boy, who had been listening sympathetically to the story, put up his hand. "I know," he said, beamingly; "it was tlie fatted calf." Harper's Weekly. |
