Master of Proportions.

An eager young teacher was reviewing the Sunday school lesson in a mission church in Brooklyn. The subject was “Moses and the Bush That Burned Without Being Consumed.” The boys of ten and twelve had been greatly interested in the story and were now eager to expose their knowledge. Answers followed her questions with the rapidity of a machine gun. “Now, Harry, it’s your turn.” “Yessum,” was the confident answer. Tell me what there was about this burning bush that was different from any bushes that have burned since.” The boy knew —you could tell from the snapping of his eyes—but he paused to formulate his words. “Why, ma’am, you see this here bush it burned up—but it didn’t burn down!” The teacher herself could not have explained it better.—Youth’s Companion. ’*■
