down upon the bench and ask divine
direction. A noted Peoria lawyer,
meeting the judge one day inthe street
after the Supreme Court had reversed,
six of his cases, said: .

has reversed the Lord in six' cases.
What have you got to say about it? I
thought you decided your cases under
divine direction.” ‘
Whereupon the Judge replied;
“The Supreme Court is wrong.” .
