Dear Mr. Arnott: Would you an- -alyse my handwriting and tell me Rether on this vital point, and _ what type of part-time work would be most suitable for me? Answer: In a few days you will re receive a booklet entitled, "100 Ways to Make Money in Your Spare Time." This should give you a wide range of ideas to choose from and with the following analysis you should find no difficulty i in find- ing suitable part time employment, Your handwriting tells me that you have an adaptable nature with - the ability to make quick changes in meeting new . conditions. Al- though modest and self-conscious, you would do well where friend- liness in meeting people would be an: asset. Employment in directing others, giving information and dir- ection to enquiries would be the most sifitable for your qualifications. Another type of work which would appeal to you would be selling quality goods such as ladies' fur- nishings, perfumes, or fine furniture, For o brief ahalysis of your char- acler send a sample of handwriting, with a stamped, self-addressed enve: lope, to Alex S."Armott, 123-~18th.

Barclay Warren Biography in the Bible Genesis 11:81 to 18: 5; 17: 1-8 Qolden Text--In all thy ways ac- knowledge him and he shall direct thy paths. --Proverbs 8:6. In every nation there have been individuals who helped to shape the course of history, To know the story of these pecsons is to know the biography of the nation, The choosing of Abram to fllus- trate biography in the Bible is a happy one. Few names in history are respected by so fany. He was the father and founder of the Jewish nation. Mohammedans ac- claim him because he was the father of Ishmael from which the tribes of Arabs are decended. To Christians he is-the "father of the faithful." Bible biographies are frank. There is no attempt to cover faults, Abram's reference to his wife Sara as his sister, --even though she was' hig half-sister,--was an attempt to deceive. This was one instance of his lack of faith, However in other One guart tart apples, 8 med- ium onions, 8 red peppers, 1 cup raisins ,% cup vinegar, 1 cup water,.1 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon mustard seed, 1 tea- spoon celery seed, % teaspoon paprika, %4 teaspoon salt.

Where He Failed There was a oi man from Australia Who painted himself like a dahlia The colors were bright, nd the size was just right Buit the smell was a definite fahlja. acts Abram showed great faith. In | response to God's call he left Ur of the Chaldees, journeying to Can- aan, now called Palestine. This land was promised to Abram and his seed for an everlasting possession. But greater than this was the prom- ise, "Thou shalt be a blessing--and in thee shall all the families of the earth be blessed." This is being fulfilled through Jesus Christ, who is a descendant of Abram according to the flesh, Abraham was called to be perfect. It was a perfection according to God's standard and not man's. It was not a perfection of mind but of motive. It is similar to Jesus' state: ment "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God." How Can 1? By Anne Ashley Q.
