THE STORY.

household lad gathered to bid good

servants and soldiery was starting for
the land OF Israel.

she began to cry softly to herself. as
she had done many and many a night
since she had been seized by the
Syrian band during one of their raids
into Israel and had been taken into
this strange land and sold to this
great general.
True, they hal been kind tc ner. but

the realization that she was only a
slave girl, and could ask no favors. and
with a low moan she sank back in
her place. But the one comfort which
she had had in her loneliness-the
thought that the God of Israel whom
her mother had taught her TO rever-
ence and love would not forget her
came now TO help and cheer her. and
she crept from her hiding place and
slipped back into the house.
More than once during the days
which followed the story of joseph

her by her mother. and she had said
over and over again:
God remembered Joseph, and he
will remember me"
And there she was content 10

COMPLAINTS ABOUT PAINT.

The time to complain about paint
Is before the painter applies 1t. The
man who puts up the money should
not shirk the responsibility Of choos-

ought to know paint better than the
banker, the professional man or the
merchant. The trouble is, the house.
owner too often deliberately bars the
competent and honest painter from
the job by accepting bid which he
ought to know would make an honest
job impossible.
