She picked it up care- fully and turned it over. examining it thoroughly from the outside. But only for a moment did she contem- plate it thus: the inside was more alluring. Soon her eager fingers clutched the velvet. box in a firm grasp and she bugged it to her heart for just a second. Installed comfortably in the mid- dle of the bed, she opened the ....est and stared at the jewel with fas- cinated eyes. "It's mine!

Ott entering she spotted the call- ing cards alien the bells. She found the one she was looking for, on the second floor. She pushed the ring- er, hard and long; then, she rats up the carpeted stairs and paused at the top step to see which door was going to epee to her summons.

He started to lift a hand, then let it fall back heavily at his side as though a weight pulled it down. The blood slowly drained from his face. He stared at Honey and his eyes were sick. She held the box out to hint and when he made no move to take it, she fell back in the chair and drop- ped it in her lap. She said slowly: "I know what you are thinking. That I atn a thief." There was deep hurt in her voice, tears in her beautiful eyes. "I ant not, Dan. I am not a thief." Still he said nothing as he stood there. He took a hard breath as though it were difficult for him to breathe under the circumstances. "Please believe me," she begged fervently. "I am not what you are thinking." "Why did you come here, Hon- ey?" Ile demanded savagely at last "Why did you bring me the stolen diamond? You know I'ln the dis- trict attorney." "That's why I came to you, Dan. I intended to let you know about it. Only I wasn't quite ready. You won't understand that, of course," she said wistfully and lifted her eyes to him again and they were glazed with salty tears, "Joe tv!ll kill me for tltis."

Psalm 40:3. Wordsworth said, ".111 good poe- try is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings." In the Old Testament Paslms, Proverbs, Job, Song of Solomon and lamentations as well as portiotla of other books are poetry. Poetry is meant to foster a feeling, a perception, a hope, a faith. Poetry is music in words: and music is poetry in sound. A conparis, - of the beat- ing cif the tom-tom of the African and thesongs and music of the Christians forcibly illustrates that the Christian religion has music. David' in his song calls for 0105.1 hands: The external life must be right. But he also emphasizes "a pure heart." Religion that does not correct man's inner nature is a cheat. Jesus Christ exposed the sham of mere formal religion and declared, "Ye must "be born again" and "Blessed are the pure in heart for they 511a1! see God." The occasion for the writing of this Psalm was probably when the ark of covenant was being borne triumphantly into the city of Jer- usalem. The • gates are poetically fancied as being too low for the King of glory to enter. The selection frotn Habakkuk illustrates the fact that the Christ- ian still has his song in the day of adversity. His happiness does not depend on material prosperity. He rejoices in spite of •ttolible. He is a witness to the fact that God giveth songs in the night. • stalk.
