Then she watched her boarder trim- ming the rosebush. That man was so obliging. In the few days he had been here he had made himself thor- oughly useful. "Nice evening, Mr. Brown," she said in friendliest voice. Mr. Brown smiled. "Nice evening." "Wouldn't you like to sit a bit?" "Thank you, ma'am, but when- ever I see a bush that needs trim- ming-" "Why don't you take life easy, Mr. Brown? It isn't as if you were a hired hand." "I like to keep moving. get me?" "Get you what?" "What? Well -lemonade," "You poor man. There's some in. the icebox," Mrs, Jenkins rose, gate her slumbering husband a dis- approving glance, and swept in. Mr. Brown ran up on the porch. He stood behind the sleeping Mr. Jen- kins and extended his hand toward the paper. Mr. Jenkins stirred. Brown straightened and took a long step to the rail. He stooped over, snipping the blades as two sleep - weighted eyes nnlidded. Then the street door creaked. "Lemonade's nice and cold, itlr. Brown." The 'tan took the glass, emptied it in a swallow. "Thank you, ma'am," Dusk had deepened; and Mr. Jen- kins yawned. "Reckon I'll turn in. Gotta spray the apple tree: tomor- row.' ' "ll nforget Ott toon call o Sheriff Dawson," said Mrs. Jenkins, The clip clip stopped. Then Itir. 'Jenkins saying: "I'lt be over to see him tomorrow sure before he sells that white horse o' his to someone else: Again, the sound of the blades. Mr. Jenkins opened the door. Mrs. Jenkins sat alone, framed by the light of the lamp in the kitchen be- hind her. "Mr, Brown, you can't work in the dark. Mr. Jenkins won't mind if you sit in his chair." "You're okay -very kind." He placed down the shears and took the chair. In the shadows his fin- gers folded the paper "When I was a girl, Mr. Brown, I loved fun! Would you believe it, I went to a barn dance every week and with a different beau each timet And picnics and hayrides. I couldn't be tied down nohow. But today -I reckon I should be thankful but it does get so tiresome with nothing ever happening," The man said, "It's been nice - taking care of the bushes. I'll miss that. I'll scram -leaving tonight." And on the day following she wondered why Mr. Brown had stay- ed as long as he had, it was so quiet here. Toward twilight, when Mr. Jenkins returned from his visit to Sheriff Dawson, he led a white horse. After he had put the animal up, he made himself comfortable in Ws chair. Martha was staring at the sunset, "Pretty near forgot to tell you, Marthy, Sheriff received word that t)olice picked up Bat Sebastian. They thought he had a wad o' money in his pocket but it tray ins/ a news- paper folded up." Mrs. Jenkins sighed, "It must have been exciting," she said, "but nothing ever happens to us. Peter, - what are you' looking for?" "The paper. I left it here last night." CR SWORD PUZZLE ACROSS 1. Surround 4, Sun-dried brick t e. Touch lightly 12, 3dxlst 43, Flora/ part X14, High priest 10.

Golden Text: -Tho word of our God shall stand forever. Isaia!i The lessons fur this quarter are designed to help us appreciate the wide variety of literature found in the Bible, \\'e shall consider bi- ography, law, history, wisdom, lit- erature, drama, prophecy, poetry, letters. The Bible is a library of literature. Ruskin said, "Lead your Bible, making it the first morning business of your life to understand some portion of it clearly, and your daily business to obey it in all that you do understand." Obedience to the Bible is the key to the appreciation of it. The Psalmist said, "I have refrained my feet front every evil way, that I might keep thy word." Hence he could exclaim, "How sweet are thy words unto my taste! yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth!" The Bible is composed of sixty- six books written by sten from vari- ous ranks and walks of life over a period of many centuries. But all • point to the Lord and Saviour Jes- us Christ. John is very emphatic about it when he writes, "These are written that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing, ye might have life through )lis name." The Bible is God's revelation to man. It is divinely inspired. Col- eridge said, "1 know the Bible is inspired because it finds me at greater depths of my being than any other book," Martin Nientoeller speaking of s his long years in solitar, confine- ment in the concentration actnp said, "The \\'ord of God was simply everything to me -comfort and strength, guidance and hope, master of my days and companion of my nights, the bread which kept me from starvation, and the water of life which refreshed my soul." Y01111 Wj'.TINN AlexA rnott One cannot imagine a lazy-, shift- less person writing with force and energy, in every letter. usually there is a weak response in making strokes and a general lack of com- pleteness in the formation of certain letters revealing a poor imagination and ee2 "''' lack of good jutlgntcnt. This week's illustration is a good example of a writer who shows some of these traits, Notice the loop in the letter "g", Rote short it is, barely as long as the body of the letter itself. Also the eye of the loop is almost closed and the whole letter is hunched together as though the writer could not muster suffici- ent energy to form the letter prop- erly. All the downstrokes are short, showing lack of interest in things of an energetic nature. Strokes of the "t" bars are similarly short, showing lack of effort. There is a general uneveness in the base line, a wavering in the slope of the script which gi0'cs it a disorderly appearance. This script reveals characteristics showing lack of decision, limited physical and mental capabilities, and (uterprise at a low rbh. - true a b,•it') u,,utysta "I ua,, ands send a sample of hundttritin9, with o stamped, rclf ndrhessed dryer lope, to Alex S.
