The name, “Doubting,’' which
has been given Thomas does not
. **ve full credit to his charac
ter. He was ready to die with
his Lord (John 11:16) but he
asked, after the resurrection, to
^ see the wounds of ^Calvary and
' te put his hand in the Master’s
‘ side, that he might believe.
He thus asked for the lowest
* order of proof, the crude evi-
’ dence ol the senses. There is
mn old saying, “Seeing is be-
1 having,” but in the spiritual
'realm the order should be rfe-
; Tressed — men must believe, to
4 see the unseen, to hear the un-
. heard, and to know the un-
* known.
* Thomas was an honest doubt-
* er who found no joy in unbelief,
1 no triumph in bringing others
* to share his doubts. In his case
'■there lived “more faith in hon
est doubt . . . than in half the
t creeds.’’ And with supreme
^satisfaction and joy, when he
- saw the Lord, he cried, “My
[ Lord and my God.”
; But we do not need to run all
r the changes and the chances of
\ doubt. In our age when, as one

ty Club girls created so much in
terest and admiration among the
bankers, Lvisiness men and the
multitudes that a prevalent idea
was created to display their in
genuity. Therefore, a county fair
was in vogue. So much interest
was shown in the club members’
exhibits at these county fairs that
it required two columns in the
county papers to record the prizes
given the club members.

Twenty-two race horses were
killed when the Maine Chance
stables at Arlington Park track,
Arlington. 111., burned. It was
the greatest loss ever suffered
in a racing stable fire. Thorough
breds valued at half a million
dollars were destroyed. Only
seven horses remain of what
was once the nation’s classiest
string.
A little man who made good
in athletics is Billy Andrews, 4
feet 11 inches. ... As water-
boy, student manager, drop
kicker and baseball outfielder,
he made such an impressive
record that he was elected out

U. of Texas, where men are
nearly all six footers.

there are many ways to use
them. Some of these simple
