She watched the sunset. Tomorrow
she'd be doing the sante thing.
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."

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."

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,

Such a husband complaints: "1f it

ON13 WOMAN'S DISCO\'I:RY
"Dear Anne Hirst: I have been
married 111 years, and have twwo
small girls, My husband is a good
provider, but he likes to gamble -
he'll miss a meal to get in a poker
game!
"IIe never shows any love or'af-
.fection for roe. 1 was brought up in
Church, and I naturally disapprove
of bad habits. I have pleaded with
him to go to Church with nae, as 1
know this is the only lon;dation for
a beautiful life, Often his answer
is -he's going to do worse!
"We who look at marriage as be-
ing sacred, how can we understand
such au attitude?
"I don't think my . past years
have been spent in vain, however.
I've learned that those who have
been deeply hurt arc the ones who
have the glorious gift of wanting
to make others happy:
"Don't you agree that it isn't
a ;tatter of how happy we arc, itut
irow useful we arc?
June"
The only euro'that I know for
incurable unhappiness is helping
those worse off to find richer lives.
The satisfaction which comes from
such a career is precious and perm-
anent. Your interest in lonely child-
ren and the aged indicates such a
spirit, and should bring you peace.
As for your husband, can't you
persuade him to set aside a certain
sunt to play with -and to make his
games less frequent? It won't be
easy, but it would prove that he is
a good sport, and that is probably a
delicate point with hint.
* * *
To doubt an honest husband
is to live in misery. Don't
torture yourself, nor him.
Trust is repaid with trust, and
when an exception docs occur
at least the wife knows she did
not goad her man into infidelity.
If this concerns you, tell Anne
Hirst about it -write her at

ronto, Ontario.
