entrance and managed to escape al
ter being severely burned about the head

The government was assailed with bit

The Question which Puzzled a Bright
Sundays chooI scholar.
A teacher in mission Sunday-school
says that her boys, though their knowl-
edge of the Bible is unhappily slight,
ask her questions which oblige her not
only to keep her information well in
hand, but also to be exceedingly care
full to say exactly what She means
when telling them anything.
They had great deal of trouble,
principally caused by lack of inatten-
ton, in remembering how many and
what the commandments are.
'You can never forget how many
commandments there are, | am sure, ="
said the teacher, the second Sunday,
when six, seven and eight had all been
proposed as answers to her question,
''for you can count your fingers, and
then you will remember how many
commandments here are for you to
keep, for there are as many command
ments as you have fingers on your two
hands.
Jest as many, an no more, ma amp"
inquired one boy, with revival of in
terest.
Just as many, and NO more, replied
the teacher with a smile.
Il guess III bring along Jim Soper,
who lives next door to me, next Sun
day." said the boy, at the end of the
lesson, and he received a cordial reply
to his remark
The next sunday he appeared accom-
panied by his friend, whom he kept
close at his side during the lesson.
When ii came his turn to answer qucs-
tons he said, cheerfullv:
"Yes'm; ten commandments for me,
ma am; remember about EN- all; but
here's Jim, my friend; he aint got but
four fingers on his left hand, on ac-
count of an accident, an me an jim 5
