am sure he must have been in the hands o f fhe devil. He has always been a good son.” The answer of the judjge is noteworthy. Addressing him self to the youth, he said: “Now, young man, don’t you get it into your head that the devil is responsible for your predicament. It was your fault and not the devil’s, so you can’t shift the blame onto him.”

Dr. Moorehead once told o f bringing a dissected map of the United States hpme with him from one o f his journeys and giv ing |t; to his little daughters to play with. “ See if you can put it together, children,” was his laughing suggestion, as he tossed it in a confused heap on the floor. It chanced that the two chil dren,: o f six and eight years, knew nothing whatever o f geog raphy, and they were soon discouraged with their efforts. But this happened to be an advertising map, and the enterprising indi vidual who put it out had caused his own picture to be placed on the reverse side. As the younger child was giving up and start ing to run away, the older called, “ Come back, sister, there’s a man in it!” And with this new key to the puzzle the children soon called their father and triumphantly showed him the map perfectly constructed. The Bible is like that little map—“ There’s a Man in it.” His presence is felt very early in its narrative, and later on He dominates it as the Matterhorn dominates the landscape. When we make Him the key, the mysteries of knowledge are unveiled and we have found the. secret of successful Bible study. It should be our practice to expect, at every earnest look into Scripture, to see the glory o f the Lord mirrored there, I .$•£. . J une IS, 1928 T e x t: 1 Cor. 13:13 Robert Louis Stevenson had a remarkable power o f attract ing people to himself by the very magnetism o f his personality, ns well as the kindliness of his behavior. One day, when the cook was away ,1 Stevenson told another servant, Sosimo, just to bring him a little bread and cheese for lunch to his writing- room. But to his surprise he was served with an excellent meal— an omelet, a good salad, and perfect coffee. “Who cooked this?” asked Stevenson. “ I did,” said Sosimo. “Well, then, great is your wisdom.” Sosimo bowed and humbly corrected him, saying: “ Great is my love!” The following incident happened recently in a boys’ corn club. One of the boys went to a local farmer who had some very fine corn and asked him for two o f his best ears. The man gave the boy his choice. As the boy started home, he hesitated, and then he returned the corn, explaining that some o f the boys had destroyed two ears which he had set aside for his exhibit at the State Fair and that he had come to get-some to replace those. “ But I guess I won’t take ’em,” he continued. “It wouldn’t be quite square, would it, for me to put two ears of your corn in my exhibit?” And he walked away empty handed, according to Ralph A- Felton, who tells the story.
