We Americans consider ourselves
= God fearing people, and the
Eorld so considers us--and perhaps
we are.
But how much does the average
nan know OF God and his ways?
Test yourself by answering these
questions. and then cogltate upon
now little you really know:
How did God create the world =?
How many years did Adam live.
End how did he die?
Why did God make the skins
N some people white, and some red
and others brown, or yellow, or
black?
What we're the first and last
miracles in the life OF Christ?
What Is the iirs. word in the
nd testament?
What is the last word I'm the
Sew Testament?
How many times have you read
sither one from cover TO cover?
What period OF time is cover ed
"a the old testament?
What period is covered in the
sew testament?
What is an act OF God?
When did you last attend church ?
How long has Il been since you
opened the Bible in your homer
How thick was the dust?

boat hook pulled him, more dead than
alive, into the ship.
Treacherous captain and sulky crew
must have added much to the discomfort
of the passengers. "There was a proud
and very profane young man, one of the
seamen," says Gov. Bradford in his diary,
"of a lusty, able body, which made him the
more naughty" This sailor was always
finding fault with the sick passengers and
telling them he hoped to cast half of them
overheard before they reached the end of
their journey. When they "gently reproved
him." he would "curse and swear most bit
terly." The good Bradford records it as
a Judgment on the cruel sailor that this
fellow himself of the whole shipload, was
seized with a grievous disease and was
the first to die and be buried at sea.
What could the twenty-eight boys and
girls, shut up in the stufy, dirty cabins,
have found to do during those eighty-three
weary days at sea? There were two dogs
aboard, huge mastiff and small spaniel
that may have furnished some FUN.
Two at least of the boys, John and
Francis Ellington, aged sixteen and four
teen years respectively, were lively youngs-
tiers and were always getting into mis-
chief, as Gov. Bradford frequently records.
1t was Francis, the younger, who nearly
blew up the MayAower by firing off his
fathers musket in the cabin when they
reached Provincetown Harbor, and who,
soon after they landed in Plymouth, went
on an exploring expedition of his own,
climbed tall tree and discovered what he
fancied to be a great sea. He returned
to the settlement and reported his discov-
cry, to the excitement of everyone. Per-
haps, they thought, Francis had seen the
Pacific Ocean, which the Pilgrims knew
was Somewhere to the west" The COVER
ror sent three men with young Francis to
investigate the great sea. After trip of
two miles through the wilderness they
found large pond in two parts, about a
