Drawinu LOIS Tor a Wife.

I love the way they once faced the
grim realities of life and fought fire
with fire. Marriage was a lottery, so
they settled it by lot. The way of a
man with a maid might upset the cal
culations of the wise man in Proverbs,
but it didn't feaze the early Moravians.
They got out the lot bowl, put the
names in; prayed that the drawing
would be providentially guided and
went ahead in faith. And those mar
riages So arranged were such successes
that one is almost tempted to wish for
a return of the custom, in disuSe now

Mechanics take much better care of
their machinery than they do of their
