He rented the place to us knowing about the children, but we had to keep them so silent and restrained they were fast be coming neurotic. We moved.

C. 1)MY$ monl Rev. Robert H. Harper Government Under God. Lesson for December 6: Romans 13: l-10; Acts 5: 25-29. Golden Text: Isaiah 42: 4. The “divine right of Kings” is an ancient doctrine which has lost its significance in the most of the countries of the world. But it is still true that government in its origin and authority is from God. just as that was true in the days when government was associater’ with the rule of kings. The rulers of Israel were spoken of as the “Lord’s anointed.” We find Paul urging obedience tc constituted government on the ground of the existing powers being ordained of God. Even though the Roman government was imperfect, it preserved law and order through out the Mediterranean world. And the apostle sought to bring Chris tians to a fitting loyalty to the established government. Paul then lays down a principle of abiding by the law. Love, he writes, is the fulfilling of the law. Love will work no ill to a neighbor and it will commit no offense against lawful authority. In the fifth chapter of the Acta we read of the second imprison ment of Peter and John. When brought before the Jewish authori ties and reminded that they had been forbidden to teach in the name of Jesus, they replied that they “must obey God rather than men.” The 'right of a Christian to follow his conscience has been allowed to the “conscientious ob jectors” to service in war. In America the doctrine of the sep aration of Church and State pro- hibita the interference of the State in matters of religion. It is safe to assume that all true members of the Church will be loyal citizens under the State. spent Thanksgiving Day with rel atives in Charlotte. Saturday guests of Mrs. E. O.

PSYCHOLOGY AT MIDNIGHT By Rob E. Mack - J A-! . V't : ' :£i D AISY ©’NOON whisked her feet off the manager’s desk as the door opened. Dropping her book, she assumed the attitude of a busy scrub-woman while Mr. Legree, the night superintendent, stood watching her frantic struggle with mop and bucket. “Mrs. O’Noon, you are fired! Pve told you for the last timq— this is no library, it’s an office building—and you’re getting paid to clean it” He scooped the book off the floor. “Everyday Psychol ogy,” he sneered. “Now what does a scrub-woman know about psy chology? “Did you clean Mr. Caton's office?” He nodded toward an adjoining room. “No, sir—hp’s still working.” “Nonsense. It’s nearly midnight. Did you knock?” “Well, no . . I hpard Mr. Caton’s been biting people’s heads off lately. Poor man, they say he ain’t been himself at all since his wife died and left him with them two young boys.” Daisy shuffled into Mr. Caton's office and turned on the main light with a weary grunt She was puz zled to see one of the big windows wide open. Crossing the room, she stopped dead in her tracks. Some thing had moved on the balcony juet outside the window. Tighten* ing her grip on the mop handle, she stared in horror. A man was climbing onto the stone parapet, with the obvious intention of leap ing to the street ten stories below “No —don’t!” yeUed Daisy The man turned and watted. “Couldn’t have done It anyway ...” he muttered. “Lost my nerve. Guess poison would-be easier.” “Well. I don’t i know, now —” said Daisy, climbing over the win dow sill. “I’ve tried both, and one’s about as hard as the other.” The young man ’stared at her quizzically. “You mean you’ve tried it too? Why?” Daisy shrugged her plump shoul ders and sat down on the window ledge “Oh, the usual reasons. After my mister died, there just didn't seem to be much worth living for. The kids had grown up and left town. It’s different if you'vw got little ones who need you.” The man frowned, hanging hi* head. “I’ve got two,” he said. “I know, Mr. Caton. I seen their pictures on your desk. Fine littte lads—just at the age when they'd) be needing a father most.” He looked startled. “See here ■ you won’t tell anyone about thisT I—I’ve been a fool! Those kid* mean the world to me. but it** been so darn hard ever since their mother died. We’ve no relative* who could care for the boys, end I’ve done nothing but hire and fir* housekeepers.” Daisy stood up. “Sure. I know how it is. But don’t you be worry ing, Mr. Caton—I’ll keep mum. Hmphl Speaking of firing—that re minds me—I was just fired myself. Ah, it’s a hard life—sure and if is . . .” He reached out quickly “Wait! Do you like children?” Daisy registered surprise. “Lovw them. Why?” “Well, you say you’ve just bees fired, and nobody needs you. Would you like to work for me?” Daisy gave his arm a motherly pat. “Mr. Caton, you've got your self a new housekeeper I” “Start now!” he whooped. “Come on. I’ll drive you home.”’ Inside, a door banged and Mr. Legree stormed into the office; hi* face the color of ripe tomatoes. “Mrs. O’Noon!” he bellowed. “Where—” his mouth dropped at the sight of Daisy being gallantly escorted through the open window by Mr. Caton. As they passed by. Mr Catos handed him the mop. “Mrs. O’Noon won’t be need ing this any longer. She’s cominc to work for me.” Still speechless, Mr. Legree gaped at Daisy, who gave him a roguish wink and whispered. “Psychology!” As the door .closed behind thenw Mr. Legree turned to the waste basket. He fished out a book and blew the dust from its cover. brain budi 1. Do yon remember what President Elsenhower’s popular vote was in 1952? (a) 25,000,000; (b) 30,000,000; (c) 33,000,000. 2.
