''She gave them to me to play with.
She hadn't any balls for me and she
didn't bother to get any, but just gave
me oranges because the cook bothered
to get them, and SO they were around.
Nov, just because she had money
there was no reason why she should
cause she wanted to give it away. No,
that was just laziness, for if anyone
should ask her for real help she would
say she was busy. Some one found
something for her she lost once
something very valuable, and, do you
know, she never even said thank you?
"Well, the thing that made me mad
about the oranges was something |

felt badly, though 1t wasn't my fault.

expensive, and that lots and lots Of
people couldn't afford them who love

oranges, and yet she won't make up

selfish, Blackie; selfish with her

During Week J. !

The union evangelistic campaign
moves into the last week with marks
Of spiritual power. One man walked
in from outside the tent last, night,
up the aisle, and gave himself to
Christ. Others followed. Christians
knelt at the altar for a spirit filled
life. There was victory, and evidence
Of Gods presence and power.
DR.. Weigle spoke on "What Must I
Do to Be Saved?" from the answer
of Paul to the Philippian jailer, "Be-
lieve on the Lord Jesus Christ and
thou shalt be saved and thy house"
He took up some Of the false answers
to the question given by philosophy,
theosophy, new thought, christian
science, etc., and showed how Christ
lifts a man up, Kidding him of his
past sin, making him new creature
and giving him eternal life. To be-
lieve in Christ means to accept Him
as the Son of God and the worlds
Savior by making Him Lord Of my
own life, which includes repentance
from sin.
