A Life Saving Proposition

Now I'll tell yoti the answer to last
week 's• dl :
Question: When Noah began to
build the Ark, where did he strike the
first nail'
Answer: On, the head!
Now guess the names of these four
places. All of them are mentioned
in the Bible,- but I have hidden the
names away in these sentences. To
give you an example:
"What a pretty fur coat you have,"
the name "Or" is hidden in that sell;
tense. (Ur was the city from which
Abraham first came. He was, born
1,here, and had grown up and spent
+IS i.4e there. But when God called
himlo go to the Promised Land, he
took his wife, and his old father and
his mother, and everything that be-
lie/aged to him, and set out towards
the west. And that was the begin-,
ning of the Ilebrews!—The city Ab-
raham was born in and is usually
mentioned as "Ur, or the Chaldees."
Abraham was originally a C.haldee.)
Now find the names of places hid-
den in these sentences:
1. I saw the pretty baby long ago,
and gave lee some flowers.
2. 1 ordenesiehertO go; she never
did anything right.
3. What, is ,ht, bald already, at so
