buckled as his glazing eyes stared
uncomprehending. Then he slid 'to

with a metallic clatter from his

El Caballero Rojo lowered his
own smoking gun and stared down
at the dead man,
"One" he said cryptically, his
eyes glittering as they swept around
the room.
Swiftly Michael Valdez soaped
up papers and money from the
desk, shoving those he could into
a pocket inside his velvet bolero,
and gripping the bag of coins tight-
ly in one hand. Then, knocking the -
light off the desk as he passed, he
darted down the long hall, gripping
the heavy bag of gold coins tightly.

Guidance from Great Proverbs
Proverbs 4:23; 6:16-19; 9:10; 14;34;
15;1 16:18; 21:3; 22;1; 27:1;
28:1; 29:18; James 4:17
GOLDEN TEXT—Ile math slim-
ed thee, 0 man, what is good; and
what doll the Lord require of thee,
but to do justly, and to love mercy,
and to 100/11 humbly with my God, ---
Micah 6:8.
Great proverbs are the crystal-
ization of experience. Sometimes
they -arc reflections upon life and
conduct; terse, concentrated bits
551 wisdom, or philosophy.
Sometimes they are the obser-
vations of discerning critics who
have set down human values in
rules or guidenlarks in the form
of popular, memorable nlaxinns.
Sontclinles they semi to !tare
been - spontaneous thoughts, quick-
ened by some incident or experi-
ence.
All three forma of proverbs are
illustrated in the passages cited in
the lesson. A few very striking
ones are etsewehere in the Book,
A. dec.? t 1':dop(ty of life is in 4:23,
"Keep thy heart with all diligence;
for out of it are the issues of life,"
Similar reflections is in the list of
things - that the 7,ord hates—the
six things listed in 6:16-19; and in
the weal-Imown 14:34, "Righteous-
ness cxalteth a,tlationc but sin is
a reproach to any people."
Of the second sort, terse, prac-
tical observations, are 16:18,
"Pride goeth before destruction
and a haughty spirit before a fall"
and 28:1, "The wicked flee when
Ito ratan purttetlt: but the righteous
are bold as a lion."
Good examples of the spontane-
ous, but 110 less deeply wise prov-
erbs are 27:19, "As in water face
answereth to face, so the heart of
man to man." A good example of
the sank sort, outside the Book of
Proverbs, but a proverb none the
less, Is in Ecclesiastes 7:6. "As the
crackling of thorns under a pot,
so is the laughter of the fool,"
Every people and country has
had its proverbs, and almost every
generation has had some of its
own. But the richest of ell those
that have conte from the ancient
Hebrews. No doubt they were
compiled from many sources, and
they represent a great repository
of terasured wisdom, but it isno
coincidence that they come from
a ram and at a time that gave to
the world its greatest saints and
prophets, and that ultimately gave
to the world the Saviour of Men,
whose parables express and fulfil
the wisdom of the Scriptures that
he knew so well.
