Not Exactly Comforting Scripture.
At the anniversary meeting of the
Blblo Reading association Rev. W. Y.
Fullerton of tho Baptist Missionary so
ciety told a story ot illustrate the fact
that some people needed guidance In
tho selection of their Bible reading.
According to the Westminster Gazetto,
the story was a reminiscence of Mr.
Fullerton's mission days, when a man
came to one of his meetings and told
of his efforts to comfort his wifo as
she lay upon tho sickbed.
"I read to her every night," ho said
"What did you read to her?" asked
tho missionary.
"Well," said the man, "I began at
tho first chapter of the Book of Prov

Presently in came Jack, and instead,
of beginning his search, calmly threw
himself down on tho rug boforo tho

"Come, Jack," said Tommy's father,
"aren't you going to look?"
"No fear," was tho small boy's calm
retort. "I'm waiting till he sniffs!"
