Small Matters Count.

Lay up things in your brain. You
may want them. A small matter, re-
member, may come just in place some
times, and perhaps illustrate subject
better than long argument or get you
out of tight fix better than weapons or
money
Daniel Webster once told good an
ecdote in speech. When asked where
he got it, he said, II have had it laid up
in my head for fourteen years, and never
had a good chance to use it till today"
My little friend wants to know what
good it will do to learn the ''rule OF
three" or to commit verse OF the Bible
or the catechism. The answer is this:
Sometime you will need that very thing.
Perhaps it may be twenty years before
you can make it fit just in the right
place. But it will be just in place
sometime, and then if you don't have 1t,
you will be like the hunter who had no
ball in his rifle when he was met by
deer.
