The "Sabbath Queen," you must
know, is the beautiful princess who
comes once a week to make all Jews
peaceful and happy with her pres-
ence. The Sabbath Angel is her
faithful servant, who flies in front
of her to tell people that she is corn-
ing. Would you like to meet the
Sabbath Queen some day? Tell me,
and I'll see if I can manage it.

THE EMPEROR AND THE
FIG TREE

A Story from the Talmud.

We'll try a new sort of puzzle this
week. It's called "Hidden Names."
You have to find a Bible name among
the letters of a sentence given you.
For instance: What Bible name is
hidden in this sentence?
"Water! ah, give me water, I am
dying!"
"Terah" is the name hidden. (It
is the name of Abraham's father.)
Now try to find the names hidden
in the following sentences:
I. Yes, I had a very pleasant time,
thank you!
2. Pharaoh's dauilliter has gone to
take her bath. She bathes In
the river.
3. Do not come late so often; a habit
like that is hard to break.
4. You must forgive her for her
odd manners; she is foreign-
born.
Let's see who's a good detective!
