Word the next; As soon as you can. by in-
| dustry and economy, have q home Of your

! its preparation and the partaking thereof
! Mark you, / would like you TO have a home
| with thirty rooms all upholstered, pictured

not be happy with a home made up Of two
| rooms would not be happy in heaven if they

woman? I mean one who loved God before
she loved you. What do I mean by practi.
cal woman? I mean one who can help you
to earn a living, for time comes in almost
