AS it is necessary for builders to first
dig into the earth and lay foundation
for the house, so it was necessary to get
a basic under standing of the dealings of
the prophecies under consideration.
Therefore students of history were es-
pecially interested in the compilation of
facts and data concerning the four great
world empires-Babylon, Medo-Persia,
Greece and Rome-as given in the first
lecture last Sunday morning from the
chart of symbols. The sermon of the
evening dealt with the same conditions,
but from the standpoint. of prophecy.
The image of Daniel was explained at
length by the pastor, Rev. J. J. Bennett.
Next Sunday morning the symbols of
Dan. Z will be taken up and in the even
ing those from Dan. s. Be sure to get
each section of this series for the best re-
suits in knowledge.
This week Friday evening at the home
of the pastor will be held the debate

Resolved that the prayer meeting is as
important as the preaching service. There

Once upon time there were two
sisters, one was called Sunshine be-
cause she was always laughing and
had kind word for everyone.
The other sister was called Clouds,
because she was so cross-looking and
never had pleasant word for any
one.
Sunshine and Clouds lived with
their uncle, who was miser, and
when they grew up he thought they
ate too much, so one morning he gave
each of them a pail filed with food
and told them they must go away and
earn their living
They walked long distance the
first day without finding work, and
when it came night they sat under a
tree to eat their supper.
Let us eat the food from your pail

one pail to carry"
Sunshine thought this was a good
plan, and let her sister help herself
to all the incest things in her pail,
and then next morning they ate from
Sunshine's pail also, and when night
came they were still without a place
to sleep, and Sunshine's pail was

many communities, it is now becoming
common for counties to adopt this
plan. In all engineering construction
it is customary to allow certain per-
centage of the cost for engineering
and supervision. There is no reason
why highway building should be made
an exception to this rule. At least
five per cent Of the bond issue may
well be set aside for engineering and
supervision alone. Money spent to
hire a competent engineer to make pre-
liminary Investigations before bonds
are issued and to plan and supervise
construction will be well spent. 1t
is not uncommon to find counties that
will repeatedly postpone the sale Of
bonds in order to obtain an increase
of one per cent in bid for 100000
or less and then proceed to construct
the roads in a most haphazard and ILL.,
planned manner.
