ST. LUKE 1s:41-47.

And when he was come near, he be.
held the city, and wept over it,
Saying, If thou hadst known, even
thou, at least in this thy day, the
things unto thy peace! but now they
are hid from thine eyes.
For the days shall come upon thee.
that thine enemies shall cast trench
about thee, and compass thee round,
and keep thee in on every side,
And shall lay thee even with the
ground, and thy children within thee;
and they shall not leave in thee one
stone upon another; because thou
knewest not the time of thy visitation.
And he went into the temple, and
began to cast out them that sold there
| in, and them that brought;
Saying unto them, 1t is written, My
house is the house of prayer: but We
have made 1t a den of thieves.
And he taught daily in the temple.

Meter, aged years, on Greenbrier

younger not to peep through a hole In
the door, saying he would get his head
blown off if he did. The younger
promptly took a look and the older
made good his threat by sending a
load of shot into him.

WHY A TREE GROWS UPWARD

Why does tree grow straight up
instead of sideways? t
Because the roots of the tree are
evenly distributed in the ground, and
there's much less strain on them II
the tree grows straight up-a tree ac-
cidentally twisted puts a great strain
on its roots, and it can't make much
of a stand against a hurricane.
Also, il the trunk of the tree Is
straight the branches which are
thrown out evenly on all sides will
balance it and make it strong in time
of storm. BY growing straight the tree
has space on all sides for its branches
and a chance to get plenty of air and
sunlight which is the food on which
the tree lives.
