Me- Dear Children,-It has been a
long time since we have had talk to-
gether Sorrow and sickness, and an eff
have kept me from my work, and the
pleasant duty of answering all your gen
erous letters They were all sent to me
and it often seemed like breath of home,
to find that you did not forget the Cot
and its little patient
Johnnie Bradley went home to his
mother, you remember, and we hear from
him now and then, and as | told you be-
fore, even if he never gets well, he must
be kept here for some wise purpose
Just after l left the city letter came 70
me from the Retreat saying boy named
Johnnie Cooke wanted to be put on the
Cot, and the letter said if thought we
had money enough, to let them know at
once. l answered by return mail, "take
him by all means. 1t was a great de,
privation to me to hear on my return
that on account of his mothers illness,
he was sent for Just as | reached home,
and so l did not see him, but l feel sure
you will be encouraged when you hear
that from being in very diseased con-
dltlon he is now nearly well, and the
doctor only thinks, as a matter Of pru-
dence, it is better to let him come back,
as soon as his mother is better, for few
weeks, to be sure he is permantly well
So God has smiled on your efforts, and
you have been the instruments in His
hands of curing one child. This boy is
fifteen years old and is a member of the
church, and seems to have excited the
affection of all the inmates at the Retreat,
and many there are looking forward to
his return with pleasure.
l will not tire you with any appeals to
your generosity. l feel sure that the
knowledge that you have made this child
we'll and sent one more worker IN heath
into the Masters vineyard, will do more
to stimulate you in your labor of love,
than anything that could say.
| wish that could, without being per-
sonal, thank the children of larger
growth" who make the Cot stated OBJ
ject of benevolence. There are some
monthly letters that l get, with two
fold interest, for this systematic giving
seems to come so near st. Paul's direc-
tons for dispensing our bounty, that /
always feel this is no impulsive effort
but steady aim to help this corner of
His vineyard.
When Johnnie Cooke returns you shall
hear of him again. Affectionately,
M. S. S.

"Let down one end of the thread with
bit of stone, and keep fast hold of the
other" cried she, to her husband.
The little thread came wavering down
the tall chimney, blown hither and thith-
er by the wind, but at last it reached the
outstretched hands that were waiting for
it. Tom held the ball of string, while
his mother tied one end of it to the
worsted thread.
"Now pull it up slowly" cried she, to
her husband, and she gradually unwound
the string as the worsted drew it gently
up.
1t stopped the string had reached her
husband.
"Now, hold the string fast, and pull
it up" cried she; and the string grew
heavy and hard to pull, for Toms moth
er had fastened the thick rope to it.
They watched it gradually and slowly
uncoiling from the ground as the string
was drawn higher.
There was but one coil left; it had
reached the top.
"Thank God exclaimed the wife. She
hid her face in her hands in silent pray
er, and, trembling, rejoiced. The rope
was up. The iron to which it should be
fastened was there all right; but would
her husband be able to make use of
them? Would not the terror of the past
hour have so unnerved him as to prevent
him from taking the necessary measures
for his safety?
She did not know the magic influence
which her few words had exerted over
him. She did not know the strength that
the sound of her voice, so calm and
steadfast, had filed him with-as if the
little thread that carried him the hope of
life once more had conveyed to him some
portion of that faith in God, which moth
ing ever destroyed or shook in her true
heart. She did not know that as he
waited there the words came over him,
Why art thou cast down, o my soul ?
and why art thou disquieted within me
Hope thou in God" She lifted up her
heart to God for hope and strength. She
could do nothing more for her husband,
and her heart turned to God and rested
on him as on rock.
There was great shout. Hes safe
Mother, he's safe !" cried little Tom.
Thou'st saved me, Mary !" said her
husband, folding her in his arms. But
what ails thee? Thou seem st more sor-
ry than glad about it"
But Mary could not speak and if the
strong arms of her husband had not held
her up, she would have fallen to the
ground-the sudden joy, after such great
fear, had overcome her.
Tom, said his father, let thy moth
er lean on thy shoulder, and we will take
her home"
And in their happy home they poured
forth their thanks to God for his great
goodness; and their happy life together
felt dearer and holier for the peril it had
been in, and for the nearness that the
danger had brought them unto God.
And the holiday next day, was it not,
indeed, thanksgiving day ?-Ctristian

Kind Hearts.

1t was warm day, and warm dis
pute was going on in the pretty summer
house in Mr.. Mayne's garden between
Lily and Victor Mayne
At first it was half-laughing dispute,
but it grew and grew, until Mrs Mayne
heard the angry voices and went out to
she saw the flushed faces, and noted how
high the tide Of anger had risen in each
httle heart, she said
No, cannot hear your story now.
You may both remain here without
speaking for half hour. l will return
in a few moments bringing something
which you are each to learn by heart and
recite to me at the end of the half hour.
Lily and Victor were silent. They
were obedient children, and did not think
of resisting their mothers will. At the
end of the half hour they were ready to
repeat the verse she had given them to
learn.
They both looked good deal ashamed
as they walked slowly up to the piazza
where Mrs. Mayne sat. But there was
no shade of reproof on her face. Her
eye. and voice was as kind as ever, and
she listened with the most pleased atten-
ton to the recitation, first from Victor,
and then from Lily.
This is the verse they recited
Kind hearts are the gardens,
Kind thoughts are the roots
Kind words are the blossoms
Kind deeds are the fruits
Love is the sweet sunshine
That warns into life
For only in darkness
Grow hatred and strife.
And now, Lily" said Mrs. Mayne,
you may tell your side Of the story first,
as you are the lady"
Oh, mamma, said Lily, 81 haven't
any side to tell got angry at moth
ing, and / am sorry and ashamed"
Ard you, Victor?' said Mrs. Wayne,
smiling.

cried Victor, eagerly. " If Lily will for

A Four-Footed Hero.

Juno is red setter dog. She belongs
to regiment of British soldiers, the
brave Gordon Highlanders. This regi-
ment went to Egypt to fight against the
Arabs, and took Juno with them.
One day there was a great battle at a
place called Tel-el- Kebir. The High
landers were ordered to charge upon the
enemy. The Arabs were hidden behind
great banks of earth, waiting for the at
tack
Then the drums beat and the trumpets
blew. The Highlanders came up on a
run. But ahead of them was brave
Juno. She leaped over the banks of
earth, barking with all her might.
This frightened the ignorant Arabs, for
they had been told that the Highlanders
had fierce bloodhounds with them. The
Arabs thought Juno must be one of these
fearful beasts. They began running
away as fast as they could. This was fine
play for Juno. She raced after them,
swapping at their heels and barking with
delight; and the more she ycIped the
faster did the Arabs scamper.
The Highlanders did not have much
fighting to do that day. The poor Arabs
ran themselves quite out Of breath. They
never stopped till they were miles away,
in safe place. How proud the soldiers
were OF Juno
Now when the war was over the sol
diers had a parade. Medals were given to
those who had been brave. But nobody
had so much attention as Juno. She
marched proudly with her regiment, and
all the people praised and petted her.
Perhaps Juno was contented with ca
resses yet many people said she ought
to have had medal too, as well as the
men. The playful dog really scared the
enemy more than the soldiers did and
besides, she did not hurt any Of the poor
Arabs. Our Little Ones.
