SMALL COMFORT IN ANGELS.



| 1t was at a mothers meeting in
well-known Brooklyn church. The
members Of the circle were chatting
as they waited for the chairman to
call the meeting to order, and the
following is one Of the anecdotes that
was told. -aH
Edith is the sixyear-old daughter
Of a friend Of mine. She Is a lively
child and quite capable Of forming
her own opinions and Of sticking to
| them, and is the readlest child to pick
up slang and other expressions not
exactly suited for little girls
vocabulary that | have even known.
She has always since her babyhood
been afraid Of the dark, and her
mother, in spite Of fine theories to the
contrary, has humored her little girl
and allowed a light in her bedroom.
Recently, however, my friend decided
| that Miss Edith was arriving at an
age when reason should help her to
overcome her fears,
80, being good, really pious
mother, she talked to Edith and told
her that God was always present, and
that nothing could harm her In the
dark. STA
Might came, and bedtime. Edith
was undressed said her prayers, and
climbed into her little snow-white
nest. With the goodnight kiss her
mother said; Now, dear, Just think
that the room Is full Of angels watch
ing while you Sleep
Turning out the gas she left the
room. But being a loving, sympa-
thetic mother, she stood for a while
outside the door to see how Miss
Edith would stand the ordeal.
after some minutes of intense
stiffness she heard Edith say in
low voice;
'Beau--tee--ful white angels all
aroundl And then, after q pause.
But II beats the old Nick how afraid
! Lam Of those angels!'"

"Ah," he said on second thought,
"he has feared to interrupt us, Good
boy! He has thought we had many
things to talk about And so we
have; but such modesty deserves Its
reward. Shall we invite him to Join

The professor went clamperlng up

a few minutes reappeared with Mr.

Eleanor laughed, and said:
