Matthew 4:10, Building of the Tabernacle Aaron, the hrother of Moses, was appointed high priest and was thus named' as the leader of worship. The people gave gencrously of their gifts and their service to the building of the tabernacle, The con- tribution was an offering. It was not a tax levied upon the tribes and the families, It was a free gift som the people. The Willing Heart It was the willing-hearted who came with their gifts, God does not expect us to do the impossible, He only asks us to give what we have. One man had fine linen, for he was a man of wealth, Another had only a badger's skin but this was as valuable to the Lord as fine linen, if offered to Him with a willing heart. They All Brought Gifts Some would not have gold, but they had silver or brass, and the common metals were just as need- . ful as gold. Others brought wood which was equally necessary in the building of the tabernacle. Women skilled in spinning found it a joy to labor with their hands in the work of the Lord. Spinning is still, in the East, the work of women. [hey spin camel's «nd goat's hair and the coarse yarn out of which tent coverings are woven, Example of Rulers The rulers, chosen by Moses to ielp him in his leadership of Israel, set a noble example on the day of offering by bringing costly ani precious jewels for the holy gar- merits. The Lerd commanded the Taber- nacle to be erected, and gave to Moses detailed instructions as to materials needed for its construc- tion, and for the holy garments but none was compelled to give to this sacred task. It was to be a free- will offering and the people re- <ponded nobly. They brought a villing ofiering unto the Lord. Let us with a willing heart give to Him who gave His all to us--nothing less than our best, whether in gifts or in service. by.

"Pleasant?" Adelaide demanded, almost in tears. "It seems ag if someone had died. Gary, let's go scmewhere. I'll go crazy!" Gary shook his head. "I don't want to leave. I don't like the looks of that deputy specially, Those fellows can be got at... We don't want any more sabotage--emery dust in the gears, or some other cute stunt." "But Hickey will take care of cverything, won't he? He ought to. He owns it." "Hickey's gone. He was up all night, remember He left a man on the derrick, Tut we don't know a whole lot about him. I'll stick around." "All right. There are plenty of people who would be glad to go places with me, Mr. Gary Tall- man." "Have a good time," "said Gary calmly, "Oh, shut up. You make me so mad!" * * * «But she did not go. She went out to the well and sat disconsolately on the tool box most of the day. "Here comes old Hughey Fo- thergill, Gary," Adelaide said. "Hello, Hughey," greeted the driller. "Well, she's shut down You can quit your croaking." Hughey shambled near. "How come she's shut down?" he de- manded. wt "Law suit," said the driller. "Sho." Hughey sidled up to the derrick and leaned his shoulders against the 'steel. "I didn't think anybody would figure out to suc Harvey." "Something about old Elihu Plummer," Gary explaified. "Seems he left a cominon-law wife and she's starting 'some kind oi contest against the title to thi and." Old Hughey stiffened: and tqueaked, "My gosh, is Harvey letting 'em get away: with that? Why didn't he come and see me? 1 knowed Elihui Plummer, Lived with him off and on for sixteen year. Elihu never hid' no comyhon- law 'wife, He was scared 'tor 'death womafn of women.

"People doh't ask' mie nothing: KhtWw' more 'abut oil than most Any man 'round this country, but nobody don't ask me advice about anything." "Wait for me, Gary!" shricked Adelaide, ripping: her skirt as she slid off the tool box. "Where are we going now?" * yoiie that woman and her common-law son. I've got a kind of hunch on this business." When Adelaide came down, Gary : was alrcady in the car. I've thought of something," he said. "Let's take old Hughey along. We'll find out where this woman lives ,and it migh be that old Hughey would it her. We'll stick him in the rumble." "Go to Ellis office first,"direct- ed Gary. "I want a look at his pow- er of attorney." ) They had to stop and consult a telephone book to locate Slide El- lis' 'office, but they found it in the _best bank building, with tall gilt letters on the glass of the door. A rodent-faced girl sat behind a desk and regarded them with faint hostility. "Mr. Ellis is in court," she said. "I'm afraid he'll be there all day." "I'm Harvey Mason's field super- intendent," Gary said. "I. want to sce the papers on the case against Mason--injunction case." "Sorry," the girl was cool and lofty. "I'm not allowed to discuss cases with anyone. If you want to wait, you can sit in the other room:" " * * Adelaide fairly danced with an- ger.

Who's your father's lawyer?" "Dan Hobson. I suppose Dad's there now. Shall we go over there?" "As fast as we can go." Harvey Mason was not in Hob. son's office. Neither was Hobson, but an obliging young law pattner produced the papers. "What we want is the name and address of this woman, the mother of this' plaintiff," Gary said: "Her name is Maggie Williams," the ' young: man discovered, "and she lives away down in the south end of the county." 4 "If Hobson comes back, tell him to stall along tilt we find 'out whut there is 'to know.

You sce, so often the pole light gets left on when it isn't néeded at all, We can't see the light from the house unless we make a point of going to one of the back windows, so that 'is how it gets left burn- ing. Then one night Bob had this bright idea about hanging a piece of white cloth on the line; it is di rectly in front of the kitchen win- dow and when the pole light is on we can sgeé& it. When the light isn't on we can't, Simple, isn't it.
