"J've even thought of leaving, but I do love him, 1Ve've been married three years and have one child, I used to quiet myself with the fact that lie is wonderful in many ways, and a good provider. But now can't even find comfort there. Ant I all wrong? • DISCOURAGED WIFE" 'I` You are not being unfair to * resent your husband's continuous i1' Sunday absences from home; it * is the only day that he can spend * with you and the baby, and you * miss him. It would seem natural that lie ask someone in the family * who has a car to drive his mother 'i` to camp now and then. The prob- * lent, though, should solve itself. It isn't likely that his brother * will stay in camp mnucli longer, * is it? * With a small child to raise, you e cannot get out often to see gout• 4` friends, or go to a movie, 'fele- " vision, however exciting, keeps * you . indoors, where you have * spent most of the day. You need * change of scene and people, a * wider social life, and diversified • amusements; then you would 3' have pleasant memories to live * with when you must be alone. 4' It takes imagination for a bus- * band to picture how dull his * wife's routine can be. He should * set aside 'a couple of evenings a * week to take you to other places * than to see his family. If you '^ are forced to continue like this, * you'll lose track of your own '^ friends, and other contacts you * will always need to keep your * mind active and your affections * alive. * If your husband must spend • every Sunday away from home * for any:•lengtln of time, why don't * you breite°your• friends anyhow? 4' It won't he as much fun as haw- * ing hint there, but it will at least provide you with the stimulation * you need. * In this- in-law situation, try to * get on more pleasantly with hint, * I understand how it has upset * you, and become almost an ob- * session; but it should never have • reached the point where he be- * carne defiant. * During these troubled times, * we all have to sacrifice our de - 4` sires to some degree ,and per- * haps this burden is the one you * must carry for a while, Keep * your husband in good humor * when he is home, so he will feel • more eager to be with you. And * when he finally understands that * you need to get out more eve - flings, he will be more agreeable about taking you. In some familiess these situa- tions become serious almost over- night, when a wife Feels that her husband is taking advantage of * her good nature. The trick is to * make compromises now and then, * so the matter does not become an * issue between you. • * * Is your wife unhappy today 'be- cause you don't take her out as often as she needs a change. Few men could bear the monotonous routine of a household patiently . Think about her ,and be more con- siderate.

The local champ louked.hint over. Ile thought of bags of cement, bricks and old iron, and concluded that whatever the stranger could wheel, ire could do better. "Bet taken," he said. '1'he other man smiled, Walked over to a wheelbarrow and said to the boastful athlete. "(ret R'iORD PUZZLE jSSW 41 ZZLE ACROSS 1. Distant 'Meadows (Old. ir'.nt 1 3, Store 10.

With all these jobs the house is more or less torn up from the at- tic to cellar. Is it worth it? Well, you know the answer to that one.

UN L&Y SC1 OOL LESSON By Rev. R. B. Warren, 33.A.,B.D. Memory Selection: Open thou mine eyes, that I _may behold won- drous things out of thy law. Psalm 119:18 Four books of the Bible -Exodus, I,eviticus, Numbers and i)ettteron- orny tell the story of God's deal- ings with Israel during the life of Moses. Truly it was a period of miracles. The ten plagues, the crossing of elle Red Sea, the manna, water from the rock, the defeat of the Anlaiekites while the amus of Moses were held up in inter- cession -these and others denlotl- strated to the nations that Israel's God was almighty. From the seventy souls who went to Egypt in the days of Jos- eph, a large nation neintbering about one thousand souls had grown. They were brought out of Egyptian bondage under the leadership of Moses. For forty years they wandered in the wilder- ness. All the Adults who left Egypt except Joshua and Caleb died because of their' faithlessness and murmuring, (Numbers 14) The experiences of the people were meant to serve as an example to us, 1. Cor. 10.11) At Mount Sinai s God gave the law through Moses. The famous ten commandments still forret the • basis of our code of moral law. An elaborate system of worship and offerings was inaugurated. This, in a marvellous way, prepared the , people for the coming Messiah. By type and figure, the meaning of atonement was 'set forth. When Jesus Christ died on the cross of Calvary He fulfilled the types 'and shadows. No more.offering for sin was required. Jesus paid it all. Finally, a new generation en- camped on the border of the promised land.' Moses,' now 120 years old, blessed the new leader, Joshua, who was to conduct the people into .the land. 'Moses had been impatient at the wa.tets of strife (Numbers 20:13, Psalm 106:- 32) and hence was not permitted to enter. You winenjoy studying this period. Through it all we see God's power at work. The brazen serpent on ..the pole, the sin offering and the High Priest all foreshadowed the Christ. You connot understand the New Testament, and particu- larly the Epistle to the Hebrews, without knowing this period. "Don't faint, sir. They're. just - dolls, Your brother's idea of a • timely joke!" STRANGE!' A well-known comedian had just trade Ids after-dinner speech at at gathering of notables'When he lied seated himself an eminent law- yer rose, and standing with hands deep in his trousers pockets, a habit of his, he laughiugly asked: "Doesn't it strike the cotltpany as a little unusual that a professional hurnour- ist should be funny?" 'When the laughter had subsid- ed, the comedian drawled: "Doesn't it strike the company as a little unusual that a lawyer should have his hands in his own pockets?„ 1L11..P810?
