HARPER if t*r i9: John S: %*tX; it, tf. , Momorj Soiection: John 3:3. Most persons refer to the comln* of Nicodemus by night to Jesus as an evidence that he was afraid to be been seeking Kb* by day. * The nar rative does not warrant the oonciu- alon that he was afraid of being seen. It will be remembered that, when the dlselplei had slunk away, Jlleodemus and Joseph earned the Body of Jesus tom privatesepulohr*. The fault of Nicodemus was not cowardice but spiritual pride. As a Pharisee and Member of the San-; hedrin, he doubtless expected to ttt: received with great deference when lie went to Jesua. n osuat have bten a shock to him when Jesus said hs must be bom again Be was doubts Mas further shaken ip his self-esteem 'when Jesus asked, “Art thou a inao- •ter of Israel aad knoweel not theee 1 things?** IV We wish we could know what be came of Nicodemus In the years aftsnrard.

Or did he retam to his ee- rimleftlcial bigotry and the effort to he eared through his own good waste?

It is a permanent resident of the eastern half of the United States. It has a loosely i bark) and it has a round head and a sharp bill. The oriole is found in the con tinents of .

Texas Sparrow For a long time it has been known as the “Green Finch’*. This sparrow is about six inches long. The olive green colors of the upper parts, wings, and tail do not look like a sparrow, for they are gen erally gray and brown.

Their homes are in the African and South^ American jungle. Their habits are* killing-"snakeur eating berries, and eating leaves. When they are captured one may use sunflower seeds for their food. There are different kinds of par rots, known as the yellow head, the African grey, and others. One has to keep parrots in a cage When one captures them in the jungle, but if they are bought at the pet shop they are used to captivity and do not need * cage. Jimmy Moore, Grade 6. The Purple Martin This member of the swallow family is found mostly in the South where it tells of Spring. It looks like the swallow and also catches its food while flying. A farmer who has purple martins is lucky, for they destroy insects. Gourds are favorite nesting houses for them. Four or five eggs are laid. They spend their winters in South America. Nathan Finley, Grade 6. The Mocking Bird The mocking bird is pretty. I like his songs best Of all. I like to sit out in the woods in the Spring to listen to the sweet singing. It is not as wild as other birds. A few years ago one would come UP to our back door where we would feed it. Every day it would come to get its food. The mocking bird eats harmful insects. We children were not allowed to catch them, It is said that if one catches a little bird and puts it in a cage and the father and mother bird can get to it, they will try to poison it. This bird is called the mocking bird because it can mock other birds and animals. Joe Martin Jackson, Grade 6. The Oriole The oriole is a pretty orange, black, and yellow bird about seven inches long. Its wings are pointed, low bushes, white. Its four eggs are Malcolm Garnett, Grade 6.

It is not a good member of the woodpecker family. The yellow- bellied sapsucker is full of mis chief and always moves around. He is all the time drinking sap from the maple tree. He’ll go ag round the tree to make a new hole. There aren’t many birds that like to drink sap from the maple tree. Elise Langley, Grade 6. The Ruby-Throated Hummingbird The hummingbird is a small bird, weighing about as much as a penny. It likes red flowers. It flies all the way from the Gulf of Mexico to the United States. The male bird has a red throat, the female a white throat. Hummingbirds never sit on the flowers. .They stand stilll in the air while they feed. The wings move so fast that they look lacy. This bird eats spiders, and plant lice. The bird does not sing but its wings make a sort of music. Its nest is very small, looks like a knot on the branch or a piece of moss. The eggs are the size of a bean. Jean Creswell, Grade 6.

Goodrich Stlvertown that OUTWEARS PREWAR TIRES. It’s been produced . . . and what is more ►. . in the past twelve months it's been delivered to car owners in greater quantities than any tire in B.F.Goodrich history. Of course, many car owners have heard about the thousands of extra miles of service from the broader, flatter tread that covers more road area and gives greater protection against skid ding. They know about the 35% stronger cord body that gives better resistance to road shocks and bruising. It’s no wonder the factory’s out standing production has been taxed keeping j up with this extra demand. But this is one product you can take out of ? your dream book . . . it’s here. If you’ll be \ needing new tires soon . . . check with us j today for the tire that’s worth much more but costs no more — the B F. Goodrich Silvertowa ; that OUTWEARS PREWAR TIRES.
