, 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. Old he seek the new birth
through faith la the great Teacher <
nho had told him he must be born
again? Or did he retam to his ee-
rimleftlcial bigotry and the effort to
he eared through his own good
waste? Of this we may be certain—
** tha great hour when he talked
Wffh Jasoa Nm way of Ufa waa opened
» him, and through him to ua.

“UfJe Bible/* If any one sentence

The Eagle
The eagle is our national bird,
one of the most powerful birds
living. It attacks a person if one
is robbing his nest and may
seriously damage him. But it is
also said that eagles have been
known to save iriftn’s lives. The
eagle is a beautiful bird with a
clear sight, kin to the hawk. It
lives: in mountains.

The Redbird
We call the cardinal a red bird
because of its bright color. It is
a little smaller than a robin. The
redbird eats many pests that harm
the growth of gardens. It eats po
tato beetles, cotton boll weevils, •
codling moths. 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 . Europe, Asia, America
and the%dindian Archipelago. Its
nest hangs from small branenes of
a tree. The eggs are of a white
and pink color with small, dark
colored, purple spots ou them.
The oriole got its name from
Lord Baltimore's coat-of-arms.
This bird feeds on beetles, eater-
pillows, insects, seeds, and fruits.
It is noted for its bravery in sav
ing its young ones when they are
in danger. It has a pleasant,
clear, sweet song.

Grade 6.
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.
The Texas Sparrow is an inhab-
built nest of bark? twigs, leaves, itant of the chaparral regions of
and grass. The redbird lays three lower Texas. It builds its nest in

\Parrots
Parrots are sometimes yellow,
green, red, and navy blue. 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.

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

The Yellow-Bellied Sapsucker,
You can tell a sapsucker by a
large white patch on its wing,, red
on the-head, and a red otit: Un
derneath is a yellow breast easily
seen.
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.

There’s EXTRA SAFETY in the Tire that
OUTWEARS PREWAR TIRES
While many postwar products are still in the
dream stage, one is not . . . the new postwar
B.F. 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. J
