Ford's Simplified Bible Stories.

David was shepherd boy. Nearby
lived the giant Goliath, foremost ex-
ponent of militarism of his day.
Without any preliminary preparation
David left his flock and went forth
and knocked Goliath for a goal in less
time than it took the United States
and the Allies, with all their prepa.
ration, to overthrow German militar-
ism. Let the militarists deny this at
their peril. Come, Edsel
Little Moses was a tiny tot when
Pharaoh's daughter found him alone,
but uninjured, among the bulrushes.
The child had evidently been hurled
from a skidding car on the nearby
Karnak turnpike. Skidding is al
ways dangerous and unnecessary. The
story of Moses is a lesson to all. Al
ways slow down at the turns. 1t will
no longer do to rely on Pharaoh IS
daughter to save the little ones. Pha-
raoh's daughter, we regret to an
nounce, is dead.-From Life.
