Live as In OIden Times.

In eastern Palestine and Arabia are
to be found the most picturesque race
in the East, those strange, nomadic
tribes, the Bedouins.
Their mode of life has not greatly
changed since Biblical times, and to-
day they steal cattle and camels, and
their young men steal wives, as was
their wont in Old Testament days.
Indeed, the purloining of cattle and
camels is considered lawful among
them, and the more a tribe or an in
dividual can enrich himself in this
manner the more their prowess comes
to be recognized,
These people, however, who live by
.thieving and move by stealth, are inva-
ribly hospitality itself to the stranger
within their gates.

Didn't Get the Idea,

A missionary from China gave an
impromptu lecture on the subject of
the country and the work being done
there, before an audience of Sunday
school youngsters and believed he had
thoroughly impressed the children
with the idea of idolatry. To test
them he put the question:
Children, if you were to go into
Chinese place of worship what
would you see there that you would
not see in any place of worship in this
country"
With one voice the entire class
yelled, "Chinese!"
