Comparative Gootlncsa,

Better is a sweet, comforting little word, tbink-a modest, unassuming little word that means a great deal more than she seems to express. She stands in line with her two sisters. Good and Best. I remember that in grammar school it was hard for me to learn that hetter came after good. always wanted to say gooder and goodest. After got used to the com parison, however, it was moderately easy for me, aud I always liked the middle term more than the rest. It Is so easy and no more than you should be to be good, and it s so hard. and somehow so snobbish, to be pest. Better seems coumendabie and easy to reach and rather satisfactory.-The Christian Herald.
