Magisterial Wisdom
When called upon recently
settle/a quarrel between two Jew
ish women, a London magistrate
handed a cony of the Bible to the
official Interpreter, saying: "Take
these women out of court and read
them the one Hundred Thirty-third
Psalm
One of the women has
only a limited knowledge ot Eng
glisti. Translate it for her into
Yiddish.”
Later, the Interpreter
returned to court and reported that
the magistrate’s scheme had been
entirely «successful. Tlie first sen
tence of the p®alm reads: "Behold,
how good and how pleasant it is
fur brethren to dwell together in
unity."
The Cynical Flounder
