BRILLIANTS FROM THE SCHOOL
ATMOSPHEBE
Extract from a written lesson: ?
"The Old Oaken Bucket Is to keep us
from doing wrong and drinking whis
key, and was born in Mass."
Miss Woodburn ? "How many eggs
does it take to make a dozen?"
Russell Raynor (with waving hand)
"A hat full."
The sentence ? The boy whistles
and sings ? was being criticized from
the viewpoint of a simple subject and
compound predicate.
"I see the compound predicate, but
where is your simple subject?" objec
ted the talkative boy.
A smart little Miss sarcastically in
quired, "How Is boy for a simple sub
ject?"

B. Y. P. r. NOTES
Strong points: Began on time.
Song and prayer service unusually
good. Every part told in speakers
own words except one. All attended
preaching service.
Weak points: Disorder. Secretary
not in chair at table. One member
would not respond when colled on.
Shortage In envelopes. Quiz poor.
Let us keep our goal before us, and
remember that the group that comes
out ahead gets their picture in the
TIMES, and the Individual who makeB
the best record gets a subscription to
Biblical Recorder.
Come Sunday night and learn how
to be content ? how to be happy. That's
our subject, and the leaders have the
matter well In hand. That is the one
thing everybody Is forever seeking ?
