GETTING EXACT TIME.
A Very Simple Matter, According to
This Mans Idea.

= Very Simple Matter, ACCORDING TO
This Mans Idea.
There is nothing like having one
timepiece to correct the mistakes of
another Those people who keep
clock in every room of the house will
no doubt be glad to learn of the ex
pedient adopted by an old cOlOred jani-
tor in an office building in Chicago.
One day a man whose Office was IN
der this janitor'S charge asked him If
he had the exact time. just a mo-
ment, sir" he said and pulled out a
battered silver watch from a vest
pocket looked at it. put it back and
then took a pencil out Of another
pocket and jotted down something on
TIE back of an envelope
Next he produced a second silver
watch from his trousers pocket. looked
at 1t and began to figure out some
thing on the paper. By and by he
said
when you asked, sir. it were jest
twenty seven minutes past 3-that's
exact"
Much obliged" said the other, who
had been lingering his watch nervous
~. But will you please tell me what
you were doing all that arithmetic
fort"
why, you see,- said the old man,
this watch that carry in my vest is
a mighty good watch, only IL gains ten
minutes every day. And this one is a
mighty good one. too, but it loses ten
minutes every day. So I just look at
them both and then strike an average.
You'd be surprised, sir. to see what
simple matter il s."-Exchapge.

messages Will always meet opposition.
The heart OF man is ever in rebellion
against the idea that God can punish.
In olden days men burned the prophet
with his writings. Those days have
passed away. and now they burn neither,
but misrepresentation and refined forms
Of persecution the prophets still suffer.
Let them never be afraid God is always
hiding place for those who suffer be-
cause of obedience TO His will and faith
fulness in the delivery of His message.
OF course the story supremely reminds
US of the indestructibility OF the Word OF
God. A kings penknife and a kings fire
are the symbols of his own evil disposi-
ton and the instruments of contemplate
weakness. They are only able to deal
with the letter. The spirit OF the truth
they cannot touch. As we have seen. the
words were written again, and many
more were added to them. SO that the
final messages which Baruch. the scribe
wrote, at thet dictation of jeremiah the
prophet, were fuller than those which the
enmity OF the King had destroyed.
