“Fear not, thou worm Jacob ... I will make
thee a threshing instrument with teeth.”—■
Isaiah 41:14, 15.
Could any two things be in greater contrast
than a worm and an instrument with teeth?
The worm is delicate, bruised by a stone, crush
ed beneath the passing wheel; an instrument
with teeth can break and not be broken; it can
grave its mark upon the rock. And the mighty
God can convert the one into the other. He
can take a man or a nation, who has all the
impotence of the worm, and by the invigora-
tion of His own Spirit, He can endow with
strength by which a noble mark is left upon
the history of the time.
And so the “worm” may take heart. The
mighty God can make us stronger than our
circumstances. He can bend them all to our
good. In God’s strength we can make them
all pay tribute to our souls. We can even take
hold of a black disappointment, break it open,
and extract some jewel of grace. When God
gives us wills like iron, we can drive through
difficulties as the iron share cuts through the
toughest soil. “I will make thee,” and shall
He not do it?

... On The Lighter Side . . .
The theatre was crowded, and a devoted
couple had finally accepted single seats. The
young lady didn’t care for the arrangement
and tried to remedy matters. It occurred to
her that her neighbor, a veteran chief petty
officer, might be willing to exchange seats
with her escort.
Accordingly, she leaned over and whispered:
“Pardon me, are you alone?”
The prudent chief gave no sign of having
heard, so she asked the question in a louder
tone, at which time the chief turned slightly
toward her but kept his eyes on the screen.
“Cut it out, sister,” he whispered savagely,
“my whole durn family’s here tonight.”
He %
She: “Oh, good! You’ve asked father.”
He: “No, deaf. I’ve just been in an auto
smashup.”

“Sub? What’s a sub?” exclaimed the out
raged chief. “Well, I’ll tell you. If you see a
ship with water on all four sides, that’s it!”
Paw: “What’s that you say, son?”
Son: “Why didn’t Noah swat those two flies
when he had them in the Ark?”
Marine (on a transport): “Say, come look
at the big ship!”
Second Marine (seasick): “Don’t bother
me. Call me when you see a bus.”
The smallest of all packages is the person
wrapped up in himself.
Hush, little college,
Don’t you cry;
You’ll be a training center,
By and by.
I always thought that she
Was not the only
Fish at sea.
But now it has
Occurred of late
That I am not
The only bait.
Hear about the little moron who took a
mop with him to the basketball game because
he heard that the players dribbled all over the
floor?
