Cool Morning. Little People.


GoOl Morning, Little People.
! wnnder how manY Of my little boys
anh girls eva tfll us what thu word
'tntlu-nce" means! 1t is word in
common use, but fear that few of "a
ahA know us full meaning.
Intiu -"at means th~ power each one
o. It's pc .rS@es TO bias, or sway the
liv.s ot vt here. There il not a boy or
glri IA txI,trnce VIM doea not possess
thus power No matter what our p0-
sitiOn in life may BE-, whether high or
low, We all have the ability to do some
thing towards ennObling, or degrad-
ing, the lives of those around US. Now
boys and girls, always remember that
you are being noticed in all that you
do,
On certain part of the English
coast, there is lighthouse with re-
vnlving light, like our lighthouse on
st. Simon has One stormy night, how
ever, the machinery would not work,
the light would not revclve When
the keeper of the lighthouse became
aware of this he was in terrible con-
sternatiOn. Ships were passing to and
fro on the ocean and his light refused
to work Now what do you think he
did? He took the light and made it re-
vove with his hands. OF course he
became very tired, but all through the
long hours of the night the light was
kept revolving, and no ships were
wrecked. If it had not been for this
brave mans devotion TO duty, many
lives might have been lost. Let US be
sure that the light of our good exam
pie is always shining.
The "Christian InteIligencer" gives
a cheerful glimpse of brotherly kind
ness in little "newsboy" A gentle
man wanted paper, and called out,
''Here, boy let me have "Sun."
"Can't no how, MIster.'
"Why not? You've got them, heard

enough to be heard to the city hall"

"And who is LImpy, pray? And

yOurselves?"
"Weil, we're going to look out for

"rhere comes Limpy now; he's a
fortunate boy to have such friends"
The gentlemen bought two papers
from him, and went on his way down
town.
HOW THE CROSS HELPED.
Meeting a bright child of my &C
quaintance, two or three years ago,
SAID, II am glad for you that vacation
has come again, for now YOU can see
so much of Sister Helen"
The boy was not old enough to''cOver

SCHOOL,

had her to live with! She's crOsser
than two bears, when there amt any,

Time passed on, bringing with it an
other vacation, and absent pupils were
at home again. But recalling this lit
