The piece describes the world’s biggest power shovel, 16 storeys high, able to lift nearly 100 tons of earth in one bite. It claims the machine could lift 166 automobiles 100 feet high and swing them across a football field to top a 19-storey building in 45 seconds, then repeat. The note humorously contrasts with a small hand shovel at home for gardening.

The weekly piece links thanksgiving and prayer as inseparable in Christian life. It explains that true prayer begins with reverence for God, requests His kingdom and will, seeks daily bread, seeks forgiveness as we forgive, and ends with adoration. Paul urged prayer without ceasing as a constant devout aspiration.
A fragmentary note mentions the Run for the Roses and a man trapped in high-walled enclosure. He escapes “by a whisker” as described by another spectator amid casual chatter about sports and daily grind.
In early Supreme Court days a justice was fond of drink even on the bench. Chief Justice Marshall reproved him yet allowed sessions in rainy weather. The judge later justified drinking on a warm day by claiming the court has jurisdiction over the entire United States and that it was raining somewhere to justify his conduct.
