Intertype was created around
1916 by a group of newspaper
publishers who disliked
seeing Mergenthaler hold a
monopoly
A Harris spokesman said
today linecasting machines
are used chiefly for financial
printing, including check
printing, and some high art
advertising.
“They’re gone from all
publication and general prin-
ting," he said. "Even country
weeklies have thrown them
out."

apparent that manufacture of

Printers, Inc., of St. Paul,
Minn., ordered 10 Intertypes
to be built in England and
shipped to St. Paul to be put in
storage even though they
weren’t needed then.
“We just installed the last
of these machines a month
ago at DeLuxe's Walnut

Harris spokesman said.

Speaking of a woman who
had been crippled for 18
years, Jesus attributed her
infirmity not to God’s will

James says in the Bible,
"Resist the devil and he will

And. as Joel Goldsmith
remarks, “Man was not born
to cry.”
Many times, to be sure,
we don't know what is good

wrong things.
When the Greek gods
were angry, they would give

So. it is wise to add after
making our requests to God,

It is only the grown-ups
and the older children who
dread a rainy day on a vaca-

children wake up counting

"What can I do?" they
expect father or mother to
come up with a good idea
They just naturally assume
their parents will think of
something that is fun to do
This little illustration can
give us a hint of what we
ought to mean when we say
in the Lord’s Prayer, "Thy
will be done “
As little children of a lov-
ing father, we are confident-

think of something wonder
ful for us today
We have got into the bad
habit of thinking of the will
of God as something we
won't like.
' When we pray for some-
thing and don't get it, we say
sadly, “It was God's will
that I didn't get it.” When a
child dies, we often explain
it by saying, "It was God's
will."
