HAMMER AND TONGS
Poor Russia is in a bad way. Bolsheviks and Cadets, Maximalists and Cossacks are going for one another hammer and tongs. Instead of uniting to defeat the common enemy they squabble like— like the parson and the ckoir.
The parson, you know, thought to_get the better of the llbstile chouLone,Sunday by announcing at tlvs'■■-eud of the first anthem :
" Our text, brethren, will be ' And after the uproar was ceased.' "
But the choir got back at the parson by singing for closing anthem at the sermon's end:
" Now it is high time to awake out
of sleep."
