Which Just Happen to Come Into
Our Mind Regarding early
Daxe."

To-day is Sunday.
| Ii r. the Lords day.
We ought % look back on this day At the
events Of the past we-k-and then We ought
10 look forward "a the events Of the next
week. BY 40 doing yen will look two ways
for Sunday.
Some hos ar other, when re hear the
merry chimes al the church b-ll-, We think
Of the days IL our youth, when We served
the Lord on Sunday. and went fishing in the
afternoon.
The most important event in juvenile
annals. is the first visit To Sunday schH'l.
The first paper we ever subscribed fer MA
at Sunday school, aud the first Young man
We ever saw wh" parted his hair in the
middle We saw ut Sunday sci,ss.l.
We have sat for hours aud gard At that
white str-sk in ia. middle ii hi. head. anil
watched lar something io come cut aud run
across ii. But no-no,hinx appeared. NJ,
even bug. They we're afraid la. They
dr~af 1t was wicked.
The paper didn't amount to much, n
newspapers ran, and Vas PrinciP lily devoted
to -oul-thriiIing episodes in the lives Of
"The Good Little Boy" and THE Bad Lit
tie Boy" That bad little boy was tough,
cnss. IL everything said about him vas true,
hat newspapers lie 40 you never can heI;eve
them. lIow~ser, he rosd go in swimming
on Sunday and - One day he MAS drowned.
This might have isern m"nrmiai INTEL igence
Ia his parents, but il tickled us Ia death.
Til. Good Little Boy always divided his
gingerbread with trampi"s jour printers
who came along busted aud out of sorts |;
he always put knickle in the old blind
mans hat who set out at the irunt gait,
AMI he WAS kind 10 his sister. and 10 his
father, and mother; he never told lie, NOR
stole apples. and when the Bad Little BOY
would jump into bed. bob his head under
the quilt aud boiler: cit. coller'n blue
BLAZERS, by thunder" the Gah Little Boy
would kneel down aud say Lis prayers till
his n"se Was ss blue ss indigo. 80 he got
too good % live, and he died.
We say these things produce lasting
impression. And when We discovered that
the Good Little 10y died. and that the Fad
Little Boy died too, we look to a center
shoot and have been kind Of fair To mid
ding cuss ever since.
Talking about Sunday schools, Lerr's \
yarn that is tr,ier than the other one. The
old man that told il Was nice bald. headed
old man with gold spectacle and when he
rose up and blew two whistles with his
no-e and red handkerchief for 4 landing,
he ran out the stage plank aud said:
''Once on a time, my little lambs, there
we're two little girls, one named Sadie, and
one named Mollie, and Mollie MAS very
good liuIe girl that used To save up all her
pennies for the Sunday school. and learned
plenty Of verses, and never mus~ed her
dress and was such comfort 10 her mother
rs you can't think. And Sadie was Il
careless girl; she never wept tor the heath
en-, and she yawnesl in church. and u~esin't
To care where she was going to when she
died. Dear children, you ought always Z"
remember that. 40 one day their Great
Uncle Peter, after whom they were both
named came 10 see them, and gave them
each new fifty cent shinplasier. So Mol
lie took her fifty cents io the Sunday school
to hnv tracts for the heather children that
couldn't read. 80 it hsPP.ned that the
wicked heather had c,usht and killed =
missionary and were about 10 roast him,
and when the heather chief vent "a light

these Il acts a. do it with. AMI read the con
tents, and he ani All the tribe we're c,n
verted. 40 You see how much good You
can sometimes DO will, very little money
But Sadie went out by herself aud took
fifty cents AMI bought with it-xhat Io Won

yon. She bought -ome oranges, and SOME
apples, and some fgs, and some raisins,
and some gum.droI~, aud some molss-e~

PzrIor and ate them all mp. Now, nv
