What evidences that God cares

Clericus says: Our Lord has gone
before us in conflict with Satan and
has defeated him, SO that we follow
in that victory; the Lord has gone
before us in temptation, and being
tempted in all points like as we are,
though without sin, is able to help
us in our times of temptations.
Lesson prayer: eve pray for such
knowledge of our Lord that we
may know his voice and follow his
call in the doing of Gods will

THEY came by stage and horse-
 back, that rainy spring of l787 the 55 men delegated to meet in Philadelphia for the drafting of an American form of government. After great delays, they assembled May 25 in constitutional conven- 'tion, calling George Washington to the chair.
 One hundred and sixteen days later-grilling days behind closed doors-the convention adjourned, Sept. IT, having adopted the Con- stitution. The next step was rati- fication by the l3 states. Before the end of the year, Delaware, Pennsylvania and New Jersey had ratified it. The next spring New Hampshire became the ninth state to grant it's approval and the great human document passed out of theory into fact.
 Choice group of American citi- zens were those writers of the Constitution. Resolute, yet willing to compromise on crucial issues, they had framed one of the great est of all human charters. Signing of the Constitution is portrayed in Stearns' great painting, repro duced on the new Constitution commemorative stamp.

 The mans mouth dropped ir sulky displeasure. He slumpeC into a chair, waved his drink ir the air.
 "Gwan home" he said gruffly "Who asked you over anyway Gwan home. Who cares?"
 Cilly breathed a deep sigh of re- lief as she closed the Corbett door behind her. What people! And what a curious contradiction Mrs. Cor bett was--a mild, nervous little wo- man one day; coarsely drunk the next.
 She wondered what the story was that the woman had tried to tell her-the story of MT. Corbett's experience out west -- way, way out west" And why was he SC intensely set on not having it told?
 She unlatched the door to the roof and stepped out. Slowly shC closed it behind her, careful lest il slam. She took a deep breath, be- fore she stepped forward toward the edge.
 It was dark as pitch; there were no stars in the sky and no lights from ships in the bay.

 Nevertheless, she brought forth the opera glasses and adjusted them to her vision. First, she focused them upon the empty apartment 5-B. This was where she really hoped to find some thing. A flash of light, perhaps or the flicker of a candle any thing to indicate that someone might be using the apartment az hideout.

 Down she looked into the living room of 2-B. MT. and Mrs. Smith sat at opposite ends of the divan, MT. Smith reading a magazine. Mrs. Smith knitting. Next door Mrs. Elliot's apartment was dark The light from a street lamp showed nothing unusual here. Mrs. Elliot was still in Connecti- cut, visiting her daughter.
 Above in 3-A, there were no lights. That was the Carruthers' apartment; they were in Bermuda.

Did nobody, pull down the bed room shades any more? Perhaps it was only necessary for those like her, Cilly thought, who lived on the first floor. Honest people did not consider the fact that pry- ing neighborS might peer into their lives through opera glasses.
 There were twin beds in the Hun ter boudoir. Mrs. Hunter turned down one, then she disappeared into the hallway. MT. Hunter sat dreamily on the foot of his bed, running his fingers through his hair. Soon his wife returned, placed a thermos jug on the night table between the beds and kissed him goodnight. She climbed into her own bed.
 Then MT. Hunter rose, walked over to the hall and disappeared. Cilly stared in wonderment. Mir. Hunter, paralyzed from the waist down, was walking about his own bedroom!
 Eagerly she watched for him to return. In moment he was back, walking erect and firm. He crossed the room to a bureau, picked up an alarm clock and wound 1t. Then once more. he walked over to the doorway and switched of the light. Cilly saw no more.

{ Brain TWizzlers
 By Prof. J. D. Flint

A crazy man escaped from an asylum one day and started running down the street in his pajamas with a pistol in his hand. Guards gave chase but the man seemed to have surprising strength and endurance and the guards had difficulty gain- ing ground. After seven or eight minutes of this croS=-country tour all were in a lather and no appre- ciable change in the situation was apparent. Suddenly the leader of the guards redoubled his efforts be- cause he saw tt, lunatic rapidly nearing a bridge thirty feet over the river. As the lunatic came abreast of the bridge he jumped to khe parapet and ran along It. The guard drew near but just as he reached for the lunatic the man stopped short and fired the pistol at his own head then took 8 head 1o.ag dive. When the guards re- covered the body the man was dead but they learned that he had not drowned and he had missed with the pistol. This makes the whole thing craxier than ever. How did the man die?

~C'mon, baby! One more h'l drink with papa!"
 Tom Corbett swayed as he hung { over Cilly. Would .he never let { her 20? She'd been there half an hour, and one by one the lights across the street were going out If she stayed much longer, there would be nothing to see from the roof.
 Across the room, Mrs. Corbett ! was beginning to nod in her chair. ! Her words, as she babbled on, were thick, and every few min utes they trailed of to a vague nothingness.
 NO, no more, really!" Cilly in- sisted. She still slipped the first drink he had made for her.
 She stood up abrutly. She'd made Q mistake coming here, all right, but she didn't have to stay. One didn't compromise with drunks. Quickly she walked to the door.
 quickly. but not quite fast enough.
 Sensing her action, Corbett was there first, arms outstretched, blocking the way.
 So! You wanna run out on me eh?" He enfolded her in his enor- i11our arms. "Oh, no you don't"
 Cilly struggled to free herself. nAGr. Corbett" she shouted.
 Back in the living room, his wife opened half an eye.
 "Whazzat, deary?" she inquired sleepily. "Whaju say?"
 MT. Corbett let Cilly go. "scuse me-" he pleaded. "'Scuse me. But don't try to go yet. It's earlyI Lennme fix that drink"
 Thoroughly annoyed now, Cilly went back to the living room. Here was nice predicament, she thought. Whatever possessed her to ring the Corbett's doorbell? She might have waited downstairs un- til someone from the apartment came along, and then explain that el1e'd forgotten her key.
 She sat down beside Mrs. Cor hett. The woman was not going to sleep, not if she could help it. Mrs. Corbett" she said. T 'W4ated to ask you something about Sunday night ."

THE Federal Government has
stepped in to add to the enjoy
ment Of those who favor cherry pie.
Experienced cherry-pie eaters have
been familiar with the feeling Of ap-
prehension lest luscious cnerry hide
a pit to the detriment of the teeth.
Now the Food and Drug Administra-
ton has ruled that there can be only
one pit per twenty ounces in a stand
ard pack of cherries.
With reasonable care, says the Food
and Drug Administration. Gamers can
so handle cherries as to get out prac-
ucally every pit. The best Gamers
do this, but some have allowed too
many pits to go into the cans. Cher
rles with more pits than the l to 20
ratio may still be marketed if labeled
partially pitted' and bear the sub
