" and George Henry took possession - of the other. . ' He let the newspaper drop to the . floor. He couldn't read with a pair of heads in front of his eyes. ..' "How old am L Daddy?" Bar bara asked. This was better than Daddy had hoped for. He was expecting some thing else, "You'll be three next month? he told her. He bought that if he used a lit. fie child psychology he could keep the children's thoughts on their ' ages and birthday parties, instead . of having them think of that other thing. "You're five, George Hen ry," fca said, "you'll k soon be going : to SChOOl." George Henry said bluntly, "tell us a story." . ' y Here it was'that other thing that he could see coming. "Not now," ' Daddy groaned, "I don't feel like teHng a story." "The three bears, heh, ' George Henry?" Barbara chimed in. - They settled back expectantly . in Daddy's arms. Their flannel pa jamas were soft and warm as his arms embraced them. ' . '. "Once upon a time there was three bears," Barbara prompted. Vhat. could Daddy ' do7. He , shru'ed his shoulders hopelessly. "The three bears lived in a cabin at te edge of a woods." ' "Ko Goldilocks," George Henry said, "tell us about the threejbears and an ; elephant- - ;:.;.V-.- "An elephant?"

He couldn't place an elephant story that had anything to do with three bears.' . "Ni Daddy, it wasn't in the book," George Ussry suddenly re membered, "you Just told it to us." T a easiest thing to do. ' Daddy dec! Jed, was to make up a story, 'then rush the children off to bed. . "Diuring the day," he continued, "the sun shone bright on the cabin and kept the three bears warm." . "Viat was the bears names? Barbara wanted to know. - - There could be no question about Jhe names. Whether it was. bears, 5p4gs, ducks or rabbits, the names had to be the same. .- -' "-. : ."One bear's' name was Barbara, : another George - Henry, and . the third, Sally." 1 Sally was the children's eight-year-old sister She had just start ed to take violin lessons, and Daddy could hear her in her .bedroom try- Ing to squeak some notes out of the G string.

But at night when the sun went to sleep, It got ver..cold, and the bears had to keep a r, in the hearth of the open fire plage." .The telephone bell rang, and"; , the children's mother came from . the kitchen tc answer it, Daddy re mained silent This was a rule ta the home.

Daddy looked at the chil dren. Their eyes were dosed. Ah, no more story telling tonight, he thought . ' . George Henry opened sleepy eyes. "So the three bears had to keep a fire at night" ; '..

New Insecticides to Save ' : - - Considerable Grain Damage A new and safe Insecticide mate rial, which itself can save , more grain from damage by insects than that needed for the relief of Europe, now is to production, and Insecti cides made from it are being made available to the consumer In quan tity, says Glenn Haskell,' president of U. S. Industrial Chemicals. ":: The new insecticide, which can be used with complete freedom where food is handled, is known -as pyre rtcne. After three years of exhaus tive tests, it has been found effec tive against a broad range of insect life. . - . The new insecticide is versatile In its application, and can be used in oil sprays, aerosols, emulsions, dusts or wettable powders. Its non toxic nature makes it safe for use under any circumstances, Haskell says.. It can be sprayed on the interiors of 'grain bins, where Insects have been taking an annual toll of 300 million bushels of grain to the Unit ed States alone, or three times the 100 million bushels needed for the relief of Europe. It can be used safely on growing foods, feeds of animals or anywhere that food is processed or prepared for human consumption. It has complete safety to household or garden use, and can be used directly on animals, with out damaging effect to animals or to meat and dairy products. . SCBimaa: tUttlm 40; Muk 1:1-n.

MEET Andrew, brother of Simon PeteT, fisherman of Galilee. Follow his career and, you- will ac count' him one of the truly great f s f men of vthe ages. chiefly because he was ever alert, to help men on to God. He .was 'always in troducing his friends to Jesus. , - ' v There are many passages of scripture cited for this study, with the, devotional reading in Luke and the Golden Text .

" ; WHEN; Andrew-met Jesus, and discovered to him the Saviour of men, ' he ' went - and . found hia brother, Simon, 'and said unto him. "We have found the Messiah, which is, being interpreted, , the Christ" John 1:4L ---- ..-. ' What do we tell our. friends? Do we not delight to tell our friends what we have ; found to be good? This was? the mission of Andrew telling his friends about Jesus, for he had found in Jesus that Which was good. John the Baptist had told Andrew about Jesus, and he was determined that he would tell every one who wouldjisten this good news.. HOW ANDREW KNEW 'ABOUT jesus -.-,: : , v ANDREW -got his impressions of Jesus firsthand. Fhen he heard John the' Baptist say, "Behold the Lamb of God . that taketh away the sin of the , world," he went on to inquire about Jesus, and Jesus bade him and John spend the "day with Him. They did, from 13 o'clock in the morning until, late afternoon. That f was T enough. A ew knew1 from that day sbort.J . He was now ready to' tell o.,, ."ha.:'he knew:, about: Jesus. .$UU'.."w t Do we know Jesus weQ enough to ; tell others ' about him? . If a fisherman could tell the story ef fectively, cannot everyone? But let us remember this, no man caa introduce his friend to Jesus, until he himself knows JesusI '.:J'v.. 4 -i ' THE MAN WHO BROUGHT OTHERS , " . ' . ,v - T ETS look for a moment at soma JLj of the people Andrew brought to -Jesus. We begin,' of course, with Simon, : his brother. Here, I think, is the highest test of his ability to tell; others . about Jesus bringing his own. brother. It is often easier to tell strangers about Jesus than those of our own family, ; i And now we see Andrew yonder in- the multitude, . finding the lad with the loaves and fishes, and bringing him to Jesus. . That, is the test of seeing the right person at the right time! ' And again this is the add test of introducing people to Jesus, j ' r -"- - 'Again, we see Andrew sensing the fact .that some young Greeks had come a long way to. see Jesus. Ha knew how to help- them. Ia this in cident we. see' the final, example of winning people : to Jesus cultured Greeks, who were familiar, we may assume, with the current thought of the. world. But this simple fisher man of Galilee-, knew how to ap proach them, how to gain their at tention, how to bring them to Jesus. '. THEY WAIT FOR THE ANDREWS TODAY ; fTHE world waits for some An ;'A drew today. I fuDy believe mat most people could be won to Christ tf only there were enough Andrews, parely have I had a person to repel me when I faithfully followed the leading of the Holy Spirit to speak to -such person about Jesus. Andrew did not rely upon his own resources. He went in. the might of the Lord. He knew what Jesus bad done for him. He yearned to see all men enjoy their blessing. He was a simple messenger a voice. : And God' gave him words words that fell like good seed into fertile soil. So may we today Introduce our friends to Jesus.; Only let us re member this we must first know him! ) (Copyright by tin tnfntational Council of Beiigious Edactrtloa oaf behalf of V Protesfcm dmaominatkmM.
