Easily Enough.

Here is Sioux City (Ia.) Sunday school story:
 They were studying in the catechim about the wonderful greatness and pow er of God. "Can God do everythingP' asked the teacher. It was generally ad- mitted that he could. Then the teacher rather mischievously propounded a stic- kler perhaps as test of faith. Gould God make two and two equal fve?" he asked. The query rather startled the little girls i'll the class. and their faces took on worried, puzzled expression. They had never thought of such thing as that, and it looked as if their faith was wavering. The teacher waited with a rather amused smile on his face. Then up shot little hand. We'll, " asked the teacher, what do you think about it?'' "Yes, sir, he can, ," was the prompt and certain response. Now it was the teachers turn to look surprised. ''Well, how can God make two and two equal five?'' "By adding one, '' was the tri- umphant answer, and the mischievous teacher couldn't dispute it.-Sioux City JournaI
