And now she was trying to dip into

Richenda felt rising anger. She had
paid her own way all the time since
she had been with these people. In

she shrewdly suspected she had paid
a good deal of Mrs. Davenant's way

to let her mind run along

Mrs. Davenant's character on such
slight evidences. And yet .
and yet those eyes were too
close together.
Now Brett's eyes? They were wide
enough apart-frank--a little bold,
maybe. His mouth was laughter
loving, though Richenda had seen 1t
fall into serious lines. She liked it
best then.
She could never really understand
Brett Pathways. There was about
him a careless tendency to chose the
line of least resistance. Yet there
must be greater depths in this man.
He had done some rather wonderful
things. That dash across central
Australia, for instance. 1t had called
for grit, doggedness, force of will.
The papers had been enthusiastic. But
when she put tentative questions to
him, he laughed them away with an
idle: Not half so bad as it sounded.

But Rlchenda felt he was not being
frank with her.
This man, too. she suspected wore
a laughing mask.
And an odd curiosity to get behind
that mask seized her. She wanted to
know Brett Fairways-the real Brett
Pathways. not the gay. debonair fell
low who presented himself to Lucille
and to her.
She was possessed, too, of an odd
conviction that Mrs. Davenant had
no idea that this man might possess
dual personality.
Indeed, once in a fit of pique.
Lucille had burst forth: "Oh--Brett!
Any woman with two good eyes in
her head and a decent figure can
lead Brett by the noSeH'
Then she had suddenly bitten back
her anger with ain unconvincing:
But that applies to all men, of
course, Dickie.''
And Richenda knew Mrs. Davenant
was sorry she had spoken. But the
girl realized. too. that the older wom-
an did not really know Brett Fair
ways.
Something else, too. had vaguely
disturbed Richenda Peterson these
days. More than once lately she had
caught his eyes upon her with a

The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1926-08-07
BY VIM. e. GILROY, ID. ID.
Editor of The CongregatiOnalist.

The problem of feeling a great
company of people who are on pill
grimage, or not in settled abode. is
a very serious one. Many military
campaign has failed, not because of
the lack of soldiers or the lack OF
valor, but because OF the. difficulty
of feeding the army.
Here is the story of how Israel
solved this problem in 5ourneying
through the wilderness. Some schol-
ars have seen in the giving of the
mamma a purely miraculous circum-
stance of divine intervention. Others
think that it was a natural product
provided in some unusual way, like
the coming Of the quails described
in Verse Is of our lesson. This is a
critical problem that we have no
means of solving, nor is it of i'm
portance for the spiritual, teachings
of the lesson. Whatever the actual
historic background Of the narrative
the purpose here is to show Israels
dependence upon God and Gods
care.
Work Necessary
It would be a great mistake to in
terpret this lesson as suggesting that
all one has to do is to assume an
attitude of faith and receptivity to
have God provide daily bread. 1t is
true that we pray every day in the
Lords Prayer, Give US this day our
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1926-08-07

He must truly believe in God and
in the power of God who feels the
miraculous quality of all life and the
divine wonder in every natural fact
and process. Just as bread in the
New Testament is symbol Of
spiritual feeding, and Christ is repre-
sented as being to us the bread of
life, so mamma in the Old Testament
is the symbol Of Gods rich provision
for his people.
Provision Ceased
The closing verse of our lesson,
which says that the children of Is
rael ate mama for forty years does
not mean that 1t was their exclusive
diet during that long period. 1t is
interesting, however, to note that
the provision of mama cease when
they came to an inhabited land ano
settled down to normal conditions.
God does not intend that we should
be subservient or helpless. The gifts
Of nature ard Of Providence are
not bestowed upon men without their
own effort, and it would be very un
fortunate for men if they were. II
was significant that the mamma
ceased when the Israelites had a
new opportunity to provide for Their
own material wants, but God was
no less present under these normal
and settled conditions.
Man never provides wholly fol
himself. He works with forces and
powers that are mightier than he

daily bread" but, like all prayers, its
answer must come only as we CO.
operate with God and work for the
answering of our own prayers.
Prayer and Providence are not and
never were intended to be provisions
for careless, improvident, and lazy
people. The very conditions under
which the mama was given laid
great stress upon human care and
Providence. The mama was not
given for a long period at a time; it
was given only day by day, and it
did not keep beyond the day for
which it was intended.
Do We?
The mamma ought to have been for
Israel a symbol Of Gods presence
and his provision for the higher
things of life. Unfortunately, how
ever, it became for many of these
people of Israel little more than a
material blessing.
They did not feel and realize Gods
wonder III the material gifts. Do we?
Is the bread upon our tables a sym
boil of Gods wonderful working? Is
it an expression of mans cooperation
with God? Or do we eat our daily
bread without any thought about
where it comes from and with no
conception of the miracle that brings
the little kernel into the full car OF
golden grain. and the miracle of the
modern world that brings the grain
from western plains through various
processes to the bread upon our
tables?

Every Sign of Trouble Gone, Works

People who suffer from asthma
or chronic bronchial coughs will be
much interested in a letter written
by William F. Mckinley, GAO Arbor
Avenue, Indianapolis. He says:
II had been a sufferer from asthma
for fifteen years. Was unable to do
any work for four or five months in
year, had to sit in a chair for weeks,
unable to lie down. l tried different
medicines, but they did me very little
good l commenced taking Nacor in
September, 1923, and I hadn't taken
half bottle until l could lie down and
rest at night. l have no signs of
asthma now, and 1 praise Nacor for
what it has done for me- recommend
it to all sufferers from asthma and
bronchitis"
If you suffer from asthma, bron-
chitis, or have a chronic cough, you
should read the valuable booklet which
will be sent free by Nacor Medicine
