may astound me, but he does not sur

look for, my Master. the Lord Of my
life. Such is the Christ of God, the
transcendent Christ "And we beheld
his glory"
The record is hardly given justice
if we do not say that the glory Of the
Christ life is seen in that it is every
where superlative. It was glory

not matter of visits, mumbling and
income, but men take up their bed

speech is folly? He answers not a

marvel. Finally, with his life at his
back and his face to the sky he cries
in triumph, "It is finished" and meets
the Eternal with his record. Always
and everywhere he Is the superlative
Christ.
OF course the Christ might have
done very differently. Revealing truth.
he might have told us wholesale the
minds of men. the discoveries of the
ages and the secrets of destiny.
Bringing the grace Of God. he could
have driven poverty. sickness, sin and
death from under the sun. Command
ing righteousness in the earth, he
might have sent the spirits of the
dead to enforce his will. Surely he
might have done differently; but be-
ing the superlative Christ he could
not supposedly have done better. The
is the last and farthest reach Of the
mind and hand of God. To go far
Their would be to do worse, to be less
wise and loving, to set weakness in
the seat of power and to furnish the
earth at last the thing 1t is hungry
for, a real excuse for sin. A God
who might have done more and better
for his children and withheld his hand
would be dumb on his own Judgment
day. The superlative Christ is the
exhaustion of divinity for the good

A,tnough it is well known that oyster

Although it is well known that oysters
are planted, it seems funny that it Is
the department of agriculture that is
to inspect all the oyster beds and the
stations from which the bivalves are
shipped. The yearly output of oysters
on the Atlantic coast is valued at
nearly s20,O00O0O. A very great part
of the trade being interstate, the traf'
fic becomes subject to federal regula-
ton and inspection. We may expect
to see the oyster swell with pride and
become more clearly than ever in his
person and surroundings as special
ward Of Uncle Sam.

Every night at 1880 Dinah used to

nurse.

Dinah?'
Yes, go did, Honey, but IL was "a
shame de way yo' put dose shoes-all

Sonny fixed himself comfortably In
bed n was soon asleep. He heard a
voice under the bed, and although he
was asleep, still it sounded so sweet
that he had to listen. Dinah had told
him that everything went by twos;
that there must be two of everything.
Now, dare is Mr.. and Mrs. Shoe,
Honey, and Mr.. and Mrs. Stocking
so he thought he knew when he
heard the little voice what il meant.

day he will learn we have feelings just

lie does not know that you have
tongues and can talk. But as for me,
he kicked my leg the other day and
hurt me awfully. Hush, there he is
waking up!'
Sure enough, Sonny had been awak-
ened by the bright moonlight streaming
in his room. He looked under the bed
and say the left shoe lying on its side.
He got up softly and put them both
side by side.
Then he went fast asleep until
Dinah called him next morning"

SONNY'S

When Ethel's father tucked her In
last night he noticed that her shoes
were carefully put under the bed side
by side. He had told her about Mr..
and Mrs. Shoe having such a time
under SOnny's bed, and he heard her
ask her mother if shoes really had
tongues.
Yes, my dear" replied her mother.
Those pieces of leather under the
laces are called tongues"
He smiled as he thought OF this,
and then he smootheG the wrinkles
Of Ethel's pillow and began his story:
