got a puff, for on feeling less weight
behind, Marguerite opened his eyes,
looked straight back on both cldes OF
his lean body at once, flattened his
ears and broke from the path at a
dead run.
The high cantle of the stock saddle
saved Andrea from staying Just where
she started from. She was a horse
woman, born and bred, consequently
even while her amazement was at its
height, she wrapped the teins on her
arms, drove her toes into the bucket

back into the long, strong and saving
pull of calm desperation, for Mar
guerite was headed straight for the
leafy, low-hanging branches Of a vast
mafuta tree.
Yells of delight resounded from
every black man In sight with excep-
ton of poor Bathtub, who had re-
gained his double hand-hold only after
having been jerked from his feet, and
now dangled along like the proverbial
village tin can on the trail Of ter
rifled dog.
Above the din came to Andrea's very
busy brain a shout that stood out like
a sudden scream In a long nightmare
"Marry him or jump off" Before she
could grasp the deadly import Of those
words she was hanging like a half

They were necessarily walking In

Andrea was behind him. She looked
quizzlcally at his back and wished she

attention was soon drawn to other
things. They had come to the fringe
Of the forest. Spaced from two to
three hundred yards apart and set well
out from the shadow Of the trees were
mysterious piles Of something or other

saved. How delighted he was to
come upon the parable containing the
words, compel them to come In" ana
yet there is room!"
Every phrase in this Saying de-
serves our consideration.
The Names of Christ.
"Chrlst Jesus" "Christ" Is Greek
for the Hebrew Messiah" and means
anointed: our Lord was anointed TO be
the King and Redeemer of his people.
"Jesus" is Greek for the Hebrew
Joshua" and means Jehovah, the Sa-
vior: II is the human name OF our
Lord. So that "Christ" sets him be-
fore us as the One promised; Jesus
as the One manifested. Sometimes
one name is placed first and some
times the other. When Jesus Christ"
Is used 1t seems to set before us the
humbled One now glorifed," whereas
"Christ Jesus" marks him as "the now
glorified One who was once humbled."
The latter expression is appropriately
used here where Paul looks back to
the incarnation.
"Came into the world" 1t will be
seen at once that this implies pre-ex-
istence. But do we have any adequate
appreciation of what 1t meant for
Christ to come into the world? These
words of Prof. A. T. Robertson are
well worth bordering:
HE suffered In so doing In ways
that are beyond our comprehension.
We catch glimpses Of the yearning or
Christ for the glory which he had with
the Father before the incarnation and
even before the world was, by the Fa-
theirs side John II :5). There is q
fullness Of knowledge between the Son
and the Father not true of others, and
Jesus often goes alone to pray with
the Father. How the Son missed the
glories of heaven we can only ina
CINE. How the sin and desolation or
earth Jared upon his sensitive soul
we do have some comprehension. but
only little after all. for we have be-
come used to the dullness and hard'
ness Of our world. Perhaps II was 10
mercy to Jesus that there was soma
humiliation In his incarnation, else
he could not have endured his earth
ly estate"
"To save" This, then. was the OBJ
ject Of Christ's coming into the
world. His very name, Jesus, Savior
makes this clear. Moreover. the sal
vation he provides is all-lnclusive. On
the one hand he saves from the
death and judgment resulting from
sin, while on the other he brings to us
all positive blessing In the place OF
condemnation. II covers justification
sanctification and glorifcation.

FORD COMPANY EST ABL ISLES NEW

In order that the men and women
working in its plants may be aided in
reducing the present cost of living, the
Ford Motor company has established
three stores from which groceries and
other necessities are sold at cost One
store is located at the Ford Blast Fur
mace where $4,000 are employed. one
at the Fordson Tractor plant, where
approximately 5000 work and one at
the parent plant in which $1,000 are
now engaged.
In the main store in the Ford fac
tory, the stock consists of a line of
staple groceries. medical supplies.
workmen'S clothing. and meats The
stores are organized along the cash
and-carry plan and the customers
bring their baskets to save the ex-
pense of wrapping the articles. Ex-
pense is held to minimum. Custo-
mers enter one door, pass along the
counter. choose their articles. isay for
them and leave through aaotae. lpcr.
While the saving varies, it averages
easily from eight to twertv cent.

1.-The Importance of this question is
due to the fact that private persons

cars into the halls of their houses.
Therefore it is necessary to know the
sizes of the cars, TO find out whether

IF the cars are too wide for the
halls it would be necessary to rent
a garage, which would increase the
cost and reduce the economy
