w." Not that these things are so, but a more logical, more satisfactory statement to the natural heart. He shall judge for himself whether these things be so; follow the directions, and then judge by your experiences after that whether these things be true or false. Could anything be more reasonable? "I shall never dare to say that I don't believe the Bible again, for fear some one will ask me whether I have applied the test, and if I have not what business have I to judge. That man now, if I should come in contact with him, which I shall endeavor not to do, would be sure to ask me. He has almost the same as asked it now, before all these people.

True to her new fancy, she scribbled industriously during the session, and showed her card with glee as they left the tent. "I've a complete list," she said. "If any of you go into the business I can supply you with the names of the necessary tools. Look! "A blackboard. "A picture roll. "A punch! "Cards. "Brains! "Blank book. "Children. "More brains!
