SIR WALTER RALEIGH Who discovered how good a pipe can be It’s milder LIFE I’m Converted I pipn’r use to be what you would call a religious man. Somehow or other, the ideas inculcated by my revered and rev- erent parents failed to stick with me, and I drifted away from the flock. : But the other day a great change came into my life; I am now a regular pew- holder at the church, and the other three members of my old foursome are looking for a new Sunday partner. It came about in this way: I had driven to the weekly luncheon of the Boosters’ Club, and had parked my car as usual near the State Street en- trance of the hotel. Our guest of honor that day was none other than the Police Commissioner, and the subject of his talk was “The Parking Menace.” “I promise you, fellow citizens,” said he, “that from, now on the trafic laws are going to be enforced to the fullest extent of the law. Anyone who violates the twenty-minute parking ordinance on our main thoroughfares will be handed a nice, fat fine and the jail sentence that goes with it.” I grew cold with terror. Although | have never seen an aspen leaf in action, I'm sure it could not have shaken as I shook. I wanted to rush down and drive my car around the block—but I couldn't leave the luncheon table until the end of the Commissioner's speech. And he spoke for forty-five minutes! When the ghastly ordeal was over, I ran out of the hotel in a quivering panic. ....My car was there, and tied to the steering-wheel was a white card..... Well—they had caught me. I was about to be prosecuted to the fullest ex- tent of the law. A nice, fat fine! Thirty days—maybe thirty years, for all I knew —in jail. I looked at the terrible ticket, to learn the date when I must appear in court and bid farewell to freedom, The card was inscribed with these words: “Sunday—Come to Jesus.”” Thus was I, a sinner, saved.
