first verse: He that dwelleth in the
secret place of the most High shall
abide under the shadow of the AL
mighty" He said it was a desirable
place-First,s because it was place
of distinction; second, because it is
open to all; third, because it is a sec
ret place; fourth, because it is high
| place; fifth, because we are insured
of a Fathers care and protection;
sixth, because it is an abiding place
where every Christian can hide when
the storms of life oyertake them.

boys can. Many older ones were
also taking part, but when it comes
to placing articles in the paths that
people stumble and fall over, and in

is carrying it too far and something
should be done to have such doings
stopped.
