There was no overplus for amusements, and his chief recreation was reading at the public library One evening, having finished his evening paper, he took up a pencil and began to draw on the edge. He had a sense of humor and was making a comic picture of something he had just read He was fond of drawing and had given much time to It before his msrrlage. Then he took a sheet of paper and drew several comic sketches, and they amused him so much that just for fun he sent one to a comic paper.

Now we have to discuss this subject from all points of view, but mainly from the direction of objections. Men have objec tions and so they say there are difficulties, and absurdities, and errors and contradictions in the bible. You have all heard such assertions. After speaking on this subject an ex-minister came to me and told me that the bible was not true, for there was that story which Moses told about the quails. Israel lusted after the! flesb, and the Lord sent them' 1 "No why do you ask that?" "Oh, merely that I noticed he seems to like to make it howl."

I have in my pos session an infidel paper that was published in Boston, in which there is alw)Ut a column of artfu menis and figures on this "quail story" Riving an estimate of the bushels of quails that were piled up over the country, and show ing that when they were divided among the people, each one would have 2.KKH.f»13 bushels of quails, which he was to eat dur ing the month, giving each pHr Israelite bushels of quails to eat at each meal for thirty days and therefore the bible is not true! That is the meat of which these skvptical Casars grow so wonderous great. I said to this gentleman. The bible docs not say any such thing. He replied "that it cer tainly did." Well, said I, find it. And when you ask an iniidel to find anything in the bible, vou generally have him. He could not find the place so I turned over to the eleventh chapter of numliers, and there, instead of the birds being pack ed like cord wood on the ground three feet deep, the account says that the Lord brought the quails from the sea, and let them fall hv the camp, as it were, "two cubits high," or about three feet high upon, or above the face of the earth. That is, instead of flying overhead and out of reach they were brought in about three feet high, where any one could take as many of them as they chose. And this skptical friend bad gotten the birds parked solid, three feet deep, over a territory forty miles across. As if I should say that a flock of wild geese flew as high as a church spire, and some one would insist that they were packed solid from the ground up. a hundred feet high.
