Here are a few facts about socks:
If they're coarse and thick they will
wear, Of course-but that's all you can

THE sToRY or MOSES.

When Moses was born his parents
were afraid that harm woaad come to
him, so they hid him In the bulIrushes.
or rather they made basket OF bull
rnshes and put II into the river. Now,
after lie had been In this condition for
few days. the daughter of Pharaoh
came and took him into her palace.
Here he was Instructed in all of the
wisdom OF tho Egyptians
Now. It happened that the children
Of Israel were in captivity at that
time. but Moses did not Hike for his
people to be treated In this manner,
so one day when he was out In the
field with his brethren, he saw ono
OF the masters treating one OF his
people wrongly. He was beating him.
Moses took the egyptian and killed
him. Perhaps we would do the same.
But his brethren did not seem to thank
Moses for IT, for. when one of the
lsraclitcs saw him tho next day lie
said he did not want to be killed as
Moses had killed the Egyptian ycstcr-
day. Then Moses fled, and went into
exile for forty years. Hero he stay
cd until one day. when the Lord APP
pcarcd and said that he must take his
shoes off. Cor the place whore he stood
was holy ground. lie also told him
that he had seen the Affections Of his
people whom he had chosen, and that
Moses must go back to the land from,
which he came and deliver his pcopie
Now when Moses fent back he found
not the same PhRroah which he had
left. but a King who was not good To
him And IL was not until after ten
