On the other hand, “My Best Girl” was written by Kathlee n Norms, whose love stories are a delight to lovers of romance and who knows the heart cf youth as. few other American writers do. “My Best Girl” is the story of a shop girl, Maggie Johnson, who through all the hard knocks she re-, ccives, still retains a belief in better A good man at Mc Cormick able to give reference to canvass and sell Singer Sc.ving Machines.

She is an enigma to her own famTy, who cannot understand the idealism with which she paints out the shadows in their lives. At tho store she meets a new employee, Joe Grant, with whom she falls in love. She has no idea that he is the son of her employer. It is a mar velous romance of two youngsters walking headlong and blindfolded into the trap that Fate has set for them. Magg'e has a sister whose friendship for a married man nearly wrecks the whole Johnson family and does play havoc with Maggie’s own romance. Charles Rogeis plays the part of entrance into Palestine, appears now I In glory representing the redeemed of the Lord who shall pass through death into the kingdom. Multitudes of the Lord’s own who have fallen asleep shall be awakened at Christ’s coming and pass into the kingdom. Elias rep resents tiie redeemed who shall pass into the kingdom through translation. Sortie shall be living upon the earth when the Lord shall come, and they, without dying, shall he changed and thus pass into the kingdom (I (’or. 15: 50-53; I Thess. 4:14-18). 1. Peter’s proposal (vv. 5, 6). So definitely was the method of the kingdom unfolded before Peter that lie proposed to erect tabernacles for Christ, Moses and Elijah. It is true that the unveiling of the majestic per son of Christ and the panoramic dis- j play of the kingdom somewhat discon certed Peter; yet he grasped its cen tral meaning and proposed to cele brate the advent of the kingdom which had been prefigured in a tangible way. 2. The divine voice out of the cloud (vv. 7, 8). God declared Jesus to be His be loved Son in whom He was well ( pleased. If one would know what is pleasing to God, let him study Jesus, who perfectly did His Father’s will. 3. Jesus’ charge (vv. 9-13). He charged them that they should tell no man concerning the things which they had seen until He had risen from the dead. IV.

It is also held by poultrymen that the modern electric brooder produces stronger chicks and a more uniform ly developed flock, that the fire haz ard is reduced, and that cost of op eration is no gre a ter than that of brooders us'ng fuel. Material sav ings in labor and attention are re corded. JXX Th? best time to take an inven-i tory on tho farm is the date on which, in average years, the least feed and unsold products are on hand. Many farmers find that March 1. or April 1, is a good date, when most of the feeding operations of the preceding year have been com pleted and most of the crops sold, either directly or after having been fed to animals. In the cases of ten ants the usual time is March 1, when so large a part of the leases and annual agreements expire. What ever the date the analys's of ac counts means more if year after Monitor.
