How fragrant was the Christmas tree! And at home was Marietta who believed in him, and by his side was Hilda. And then there was the doll in the pink chiffon dress, the doll that would mark a new way of life for him. And forever there was Christ who had delivered him. “ Come on, honey,” he said, “ Let’s hurry home. Daddy has a big surprise for you!”
The Doll in Pink
(Continued from Page 15) men moving toward him. Mechanically his mind repeated, “Move toward the door. Don’t shove. Don’t seem in a hurry. Slowly. Carefully.” The door to the kitchen was open now and Jim saw that it led nowhere. A dead end. No way of escape there. Glancing back again over the crowd, he collided with his rotund friend. Jim saw a flash of recognition in the blue eyes. His hand was shaken firmly. Yes, the man knew him, too. But where? When? Jim felt a touch on his elbow and a voice whispered, “We want you, Ken nedy.” At the same time a woman with a happy face pushed a tray of dough nuts in front of him. “Have a doughnut, Sir?” Jim shook his head in refusal and motioned to the two plain-clothes men as he moved to a deserted corner of the room. The men followed and the min ister came along too. Hilda clung to his hand. “What’s up?” Jim asked, steeling him self. “ A robbery on 42nd Street.” Jim shook his head. “ I don’t know anything about it.” But fear overcame him. The men would go to his home. They’d see the doll in the pink chiffon dress. They’d see the toy house and the furniture and the stove and the table. They’d see the dishes with the little rose sprays on them. They’d see all those things and they would never believe that he went without food to buy them. “ I don’t know anything about it,” Jim re peated dully. Saturday night. Jim trembled. They had him. “ I was at Mack’s,” he said defiantly, feeling a loathing for the place. “ Yeah. We know. You were there till nine. Where’d you go after that?” Jim rubbed his hand over his fore head. Where did he go? He had dim memories of another bar, then nothing after that. He must have blacked out. “What time was the robbery com mitted?” asked the minister. It was the first time he had spoken. “ Eleven-thirty.” “ You have the wrong man, then, of ficers.” The rosy cheeks were pinker than ever and the blue eyes smiled con fidently. “ Jim Kennedy was in the Owl at that time. I was there distributing tracts and talking to the fellows. I took him home myself.” “ O.K. if you say so, Reverend. Watch your step, Kennedy.” And incredibly they were gone. Jim Kennedy lifted his heart to God in real thanksgiving. Then he turned to the minister with a big smile. “ I’ll be coming here often, Sir,” he said. Jim caught his breath. How delicious was the odor of coffee and doughnuts! “ You’ll have to prove that.” “ When was it?” Jim asked. “ Saturday night.”

Modern Science and the Long Day o f Joshua (Continued from Page IS) Word of God. In the tenth chapter of Joshua, I found the missing twenty-four hours accounted for. Then I *went back and checked up on my figures and found that at the time of Joshua there were only twenty-three hours and twen ty minutes lost. If the Bible made a mistake of forty minutes, it is not the Book of God!” Professor Totten said, “ You are right, in part at least. But does the Bible say that a whole day was lost at the time of Joshua?” So they looked and saw that the text said, “ about the space of a whole day.” The word “about” changed the whole situation, and the astronomer took up his reading again. He read on until he came to the thirty-eighth chapter of the prophet Isaiah. In this chapter, Isaiah has left us the thrilling story of the king, Hezekiah, who was sick unto death. In response to his prayer, God promised to add fifteen more years to his life. To confirm the truth of His prom ise, God offered a sign. He said, “ Go out in the court and look at the sun dial of Ahaz. I will make the shadow on the sundial back up ten degrees!” Isaiah recounts that the king looked, and while he looked, the shadow turned backward ten degrees, by which ten de grees it had already gone down! This settles the case, for ten degrees on the sundial is forty minutes on the face of the clock!
