Proverbs 2:1-9.
MY son, If thou wilt receive my words,
and hide my commandments with thee:
So that thou incline thine ear unto wis
dom, and apply thine heart to understand
ing:
Yea, If thou criest after knowledge, and
Iiftest up thy voice for understanding
If thou seekest her as silver, and search
est for her as for hid treasures;
Then shalt thou understand the fear of
the Lord, and find the knowledge of God.
For the Lord giveth wisdom: out of his
mouth cometh knowledge and understand
ing.
He layeth up sound wisdom for the
righteous: he il a buckIer to them that
walk uprightly.
He keepeth the paths Of judgment, and
preserveth the way OF his saints.
Then shalt thou understand righteous
ness, and judgment, and equity; yea, every
good Dath

 Friday morning was routine busi-

 of thing and then the whole affair was
 postponed that we might get to the
 barbecue on time. Two hundred auto

 dence of Birmingham Kiwanians et-
 ficiency, it might be we'll to note that
 there were two service cars going
 back and forth over the route, so that in case of puncture or accident the
 driver did not even have to leave his seat
 After viewing the scene one can almost admit what our host, Morris Bush, president of the Rotary club,
 said that even the pigs, calves and
 chickens expressed their willingness to die in such a good cause" "A barbecue cannot be described, il must be eaten. just like Dolly Dalrym-
 pie cannot be told about. she must be talked to-no-listened to. There are
 some things just too good to talk about; you have to experience them"
