WHAT DID THE CLOCK sAY?-A clock upon the
tower of neghboring church tolled forth slowly
and solemnly the knell of the departed hour.
As the last hour died away, Willie who was sitting
the carpet at his mothers feet lifted his head and
looking earnestly in her face, asked:
Mother, what did the clock say"
To me- said the mother, sadly, " it seemed to
say -gone-gone-gone
"What mother what has gone?'
Another hour, my SON.
"What is an hour m Jther?'
"a whte-wnged messenger from our Father in
heaven, sent by him to inquire of YOU of me, what
we are doing what We are saying what we are

with smile of appreciation ?"
