The person deliver jin’g the possession is called the j “bailor”, and the person receiv ; ing the possession is called the j “bailee.” j The hat and coat have never ! been in the exclusive possession lof the owner of the restaurant They were placed within easy | reach of the customer and he | 1 could have removed them at any \ I time without notice to the res taUranteur, which is inconsistent with the essential’ requirement that the bailee must have the sole possession and control over the articles bailed. The hat and coat were hung ;at a place to which all other ! customers had equal access. , There was no invitation to the 1 patron to relax or yield his per sonal vigilance, as the hooks or clothes trees are to be regarded as being merely for the conveni ence of patrons who wish to put aside their hats and coats while \ eating and yet not part with con- j trol over them. The law does not hold a person responsible for property that has I not been in his possession and ' under his control.

She ■ is given a claim check and the attendant places the coet and . parcel in a .place udder the con . trol of the management. No charges are made by the manage ment for this service. May Mary Smith recover the value of her coat and parcel from the oWn er of the restaurant if they are not returned to her? | She may recover if it can be j proved that the coat and parcel were not returned as the result of negligence on the part of the attendant or other employee of the restaurant. A bailment has been created. There was a de | livery of possession to an em ’ plovee of the restaurant. Where a bailor has shown the delivery of property to a bailee and the latter has failed on de mand to return the property, or has returned it in a damaged condition, the bailor has made out a “prima facie case” against the bailee. The bailee, ( in this case the owner of the restaurant, will not be required to compen sate the patron if he is able to prove that the loss occurred through some specific casualty, such as fire or theft, not due to negligence. , Weekly Devotiona j Column i Rt J VMRS MurKRNZTR )l "" —""*"■—*■**— "... they took knowledge of them that they had been with Jesus" (Acts 4:13). Often today there is no appre-, ciable difference between the ' church member and the non | church-member, between those who name the Name of Christ and those who do not. They drink the same brand of beer, at tend the same cocktail parties, be- 1 long to the same clubs, use the i same cuss-words, and read the I | same trashy novels. But the real Christian, the person whose life has been touched by the trans forming grace of God. is distinc tive, different from those about i him. You can tel] he has been . with Jesus. ’ • i The world is watching us who, 'call ourselves Christians. Some times kindly, somet : mes unkind-1 ly, but always keenly. Men do . take knowledge of us, and what they see will determine their opinion as to the reality of our ( faith. What was it about Petei and John that caused the unsaved about them to confess they had bden with JesusY "Ti Was not; their learning, for in this same verse we read. “They were un learned and ignorant men.” We today place too much emphasis on learning when it comes to jude ing ministers. Peter and John were not educated men; it would | have been impossible for them to be ordained by any of our laree, stuff-shirt denominations today. Neither was it their wealth, for they were extremely poor. Nor was it their show-place church buildings and cathedrals, for they had none; nor their elaborate rit ual, for all that had not yet evolv- ' I Bft’ mi fill '• j*.!., I ' ,-S . ■: -g ißifrwi w - mmm B B / ' KB U w * H • 1 % H ii .t NATIONAL HOT-DOC MONTH— Agriculture Secretary Ezra Taft Benson bites into a three loot hot dog presented to him in his Washington office as a forerunner of National Hot-Dog Month, which will be observed during July. Making the presentation are Paul Gilmore, 9, and bis sister, Carol, 11, of Washington. ed. Yet there was something about these two simple, unlearn ed, uncultured, plainly-dressed men that forced those about them j to take knowledge of them that they had been with Jesus. What was it? The' Bible tells us it was their boldness (see verse 13). 'rtiev made no apology fox their Chris- I tian faith, nor did they water it ! down to conform to the social evils of their day. They could say with Paul, “I am not asham -1 ed of the Gospel of Christ, for it 1 is the power of God unto salva tion.” They had been with'Jesus, and could not but speak the things which thev had seen and heard (verse 20). Perhaps the reason we are so timid when it j comes to openly confessing our i Christian faith is that we often 1 have no real, Christian faith to 1 confess. Theirs was the boldness of an authoritative message. To Peter, Jesus Christ was the rock on which the Church is built (verse 11), and the only way we can be saved (verse 12). Thank God for ' a man who will stand for the I Christian faith. In these days ! when the World Council of 1 Churches is telling us that one re ligion is as good as another, and that there is much we can learn from the Mohammedans, and that j Jesus was telling a fib when He said that no man could come to the Father but by Him, we need men and women whb dnl] stand for the Christian Faith and the , Christian ethic without compro mise or apology.
