Having done this he ‘would he at liberty to select his fa- ;vorit’e pass-ages and read them again and again.

It is an excellent example to the millions of persons who owe their allegiance to him. There is no more majestic prose or majestic noetrv to the millions of persons who owe their allegiance to him. There is no more majestic prose or majestic poetry than that found in the Bible. In these days the Bible ought to be good read- ing for kings and for commoners as well. For an English king the English version is especially goo‘d’ reading. A short time ago the newspapers printed a cable despatch from London to the effect that George V. reads one chapter of the Bible daily. This is keeping a promise which he made to his mother, Queen Alexandra, in 1881. If he has taken the authorized version in sequence, commencing with the first chapter of Genesis and reading one chapter each day, it would mean that he'has read the Bible through thirteen times and has a good start on the fourteenth reading. It would take him a little more than two years and six months to read the Old Testament and three years and sixty-tour days to read both Testaments. ,, YGU €3.31 Have Succfes s with Turkeys 7 m How '1': .k-in. 2 ET the FREE Government Bulletin on Turkey Farming.
