Park Orator: “My friends, if we were each of us to turn and look ourselves squarely in the face, what should we each find we needed most?” A voice from the crowd: “An indiarubber neck, mister!” Passenger: “Why is this train so late, guard?” Guard: “This train is late, mum, because the train in front’s behind, and we was behind before besides!” A kindly-looking old gentleman was stopped by a very little girl carrying a parcel. “Please, sir,” she said politely, “is this the second turning to the left.” “What’s the good?” expresses the most characteristic mood of the modern mind. —The Rev. James Reid.
