out that winter is coming? Doesn’t that make you to know that there is a God? The ant knows that she must be moving at good speed to gather these things while the weather is warm and the fruit trees are dropping their fruit and pickers are abroad in the land. You know, ants are the busiest peo ple in all the world, but they have plenty of time in which to go to every picnic to gather up the bits of food and hide it away so that they can be snugly tucked away in their nest, eat ing generously when the snow is on the ground. You must have some preparation for the future and that preparation is found in Jesus Christ. When you trust Him He cares for you completely for time and eternity — so I trust you will. Go to Him, get ready for tomorrow! Q. The second thing to be considered is the coney, of which Solomon speaks, and in what lies its “exceeding wis dom,?” A . It is a very interesting animal, also. It is about the size of a guinea pig; is brown in color, and has no tail. The coneys are a feeble little folk that have no power of protecting themselves. They cannot chew or bite an adver- IMPORTANT NOTICE Similar Names for Other Programs For many years the broadcasts of THE BIBLE INSTITUTE HOUR have been heard over stations throughout the west and across the nation. These programs are sponsored by the Bible Institute of Los Angeles, Inc., which was formed under God in 1908. These broadcasts are not to be confused with other programs or publications which bear the name "Bible Institute." Some of our friends have evidently been confused on this point. However, in days of multiplicity of voices, we underscore the fact that we have no other radio ministry than "The Bible Institute Hour." The name in part or whole, used by other religious organizations, has no authorization from BIOLA. We do not like to make these an nouncements but sometimes they are neces sary in order to clarify questions and con fusion. 4
MARVELS OF CREATION (continued) two ears in the head, two in the front legs, two in the thorax, and two in the abdomen. When ants meet they commu nicate with each other by rubbing the front feet over the head, each of the other. In this way they tell every ant where they have been and what they have found. It is most interesting to note that if they find some good food somewhere, they tell other ants about it. I proved this fact of their communi cation by taking a piece of bread out of our lunch basket, when at the park, and laying it alongside the fun of the ants. Soon an ant picked up as much as she could carry and turned around to go back toward her nest, and after going a few feet, she met another ant whereupon she laid down her piece of bread, and with her two front feet she told the second ant where she found the bread and how nice it was. Then she picked up her piece of bread and was on her way once more. Now the second ant did not try to pick up the bread that the first ant laid down because there is a law among ants that no ant will pick up what another ant has had, they respect the ownership of each other. You would not find this true among chickens for if food is thrown out to them and one gets a good bit, then three or four others chase after that hen to get it away from her. Even a dog stands to lose some tasty morsel if other dogs discover he has it. So the Lord directed that we go to the ant and consider her ways — think about what she does, and how she lives. Think about how she acts and if you do you, too, will respect the own ership of others and not take that which belongs to another, no mattei where you find it. And then, again, these ants know that you have to be very busy in the summertime getting food and storing it underground, for they know that the winter is coming and food will not-be available on top of the ground. Now folk, you tell me where the ant found
