ANYBODY arose to recite his lessons
and threw the whole class in an up

What shall I do nith those chill

They are Just nischevous and active
and want TO be always doing something
TO attract attention. I do not want

long and at last struck upon plan
I which she thought would turn the

The next afternoon. Just as schoo,

Now there was one thing that teach
err knew. Both Fred and James had
bad memories. They could never re-
member two lines OF any poem or
song But the fact that they couldn't
sing or recite had never seemed to
bother them when the class worked
all together. They were lost among
the Others. II they could be made tc
see themselves as they saw the other

would be cured OF their nischievous

Straight Insurance
Preferred by Mormons

The relationship existing be-
tween members Of the Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
(Mormon) and other organiza.
tions. explained by President An
drew Kimball:
The Mormon people maintain
within their church the most per-
feet organization In the world;
and, because, within the church,
every need of It's membership is
provided for, there Is no need of
joining outside izations.
Straight insurance, unassociated
with organized societies, Is pre-
ferred by our people, and our
reasons are in keeping with the
facts, that:
First--We have everything in
the church necessary for the
well-being of its members. There
are no paupers among us and we
have a very low percentage OF
poor people; over 80 per cent Of
the Mormon people own their
own homes. BY the Fast Offer
ing and Tithing System, proper
protection is provided for the un-
fortunate.
Second We believe that aside
from all benefits enjoyed by its
membership that every member
in the church should be a booster,
a glyer and a supporter OF the
