Perhaps Not,

An instructor in a church school
where much attention was paid to
sacred history, dwelt particularly on
the phrase And Enoch was not, for
God took him" So many times was
this repeated in connection with the
death Of Enoch that he thought even
the dullest pupil would answer cor
rectly when asked in examination:
State in the exact language Of the
Bible what Is said Of Enoch's death.
But this was the answer he got:
"Enoch was not what God took him
for."-Brooklyn Life.

Henry Ward Beecher once said: "A

takes, but In this statement he was
eminently correct. It Is only another
