Not very long ago some one invented the assertion that there were only "Four Hundred" people in New York City who were really worth noticing. But a wiser man has arisen - the census taker - and his larger estimate of human interest has been preferred in marking out the field of these little stories of the "Four Million."

The murdered man meets his death in an intriguing and novel manner, which the management asks its customers, as a personal favor, not to reveal to possible future audiences. It remains a secret, chummily shared by those that have seen the play and the four or five million who read it in its original form as a Saturday Evening Post story a year or so ago. p. 320.

I am surprised that the trouble has been contained to the degree it has. Until two years ago, New York City used wiser methods than any other city to deal with racial problems. Now it is a case of outÂright scare tactics. This won't work, because the Negro is not afraid. If the tacÂtics are not changed, this could escalate into something very, very serious.

The human population growth over the last 2,000 years is well documented. The current population of seven billion could easily have come from eight people who got off Noah's ark 4,400 years ago. If man had really been here four million years ago, like the evolutionists teach, why isn't the earth stacked with people halfway to the moon?

Is it not the interest of the human race, that every one should be so taught and placed, that he would find his highest enjoyment to arise from the continued practice of doing all in his power to promote the well-being, and happiness, of every man, woman, and child, without regard to their class, sect, party, country or colour?
