Every one is familiar with the phrase, Divine order. These two elements. der, are applied to homes signify something of the attributes just described as belonging to the words. We hear the expression that matters or things are chaotic, and we realize that the atmosphere frantic _with confusion. It may be mental confusion or physical. When a minds gets ab- normally chaotic the person becomes a subject for a sanatorium. When a home gets chaotic it loses Ats tranquillity. Physical confusion re- acts on mental equilibrium. Tempers get sharpened. Members of the fam- ily are apt to be harsh of speech. They find it difficult to keep quiet.

If | they had been warlike, they | probably would not have gone so | far ahead. | From time to time, however, Egypt did take part in war. Some of the kings were greedy for power and riches. Armies were sent to conquer pecple even beyond the Red Sea. The weapons of Egypt's soldiers were spears, bows and arrows, battle axes. 10g knives and slings. Some traveled on foot, others in chariots. Th> art of marching together was learned, and the bow men let loose their arrows in vol- leys. Shields were in common use, and some men wore helmets.
