of these the children ran. but were quiet so
as to keep from disturbing their mother,
who was very ILL., Their father was dead
and their mother had worked hard for her
children to feed and clothe them. At last
she became Ill and was compelled to send
her children out into the world to work. In
the summer 1t was not so hard. They went
into the woods and fields and gathered flow
erS, ferns and water crosses. These they
arranged neatly in baskets and set out for
the city where they were to sell them. The
first Few days were rather hard, because
they were not very well acquainted with the
city. Most of the people were inclined to be
rough at first, but when they became ac-
quaint I'D with the children they most al
ways bought something from them. AS
winter approached thoy began to wonder
what they were to do to keep from starving
Their mother told them to go to some Of
the stores in the city and seek employment
This they did, but alas! the stores were
crowded to oyerfiowing with clerks and 9TH
ers. They went from one store to another,
but met with no better success than at the
first store. At last they were taken into en-
ployment by a young girl who had just
started confectionery shop. They toiled
hard every day and in the evening hurried
home with their days wages to their mother
who improving very slowly in health.
The doctor had told the children that their
mother would never get entirely we'll unless
she was taken into the country, where. she
could breath the fresh air. Then they be-
gan to save every penny. so that they could
send Ter away when the hot summer
months came.

And some h. We a few pretty blossoms to show;
The dear little buds were quite timid at first,
But soon were coaxed out by the suns pleasant

The delicate mayfowers now make their appear
And perfume the air with the sweetest OF smells;
The yiolets and cowsiips VIII soon now awaken,
And the woods VIII resound to the voice Of

Oh who cannot guess the wonderful secret

Junior Christian Endeavor.

Topic for May 10: A man who was afraid
TO tell the truth-Gen., 20:1-15; II Cor, 8:21
Dear Juniors: I am sure you are all very
much surprised and very much disappointed
to know that the man who was afraid to
tell the truth was Abraham. We have
learned many beautiful lessons from his
life Of faith and obedience that we are sorry
to know that he was ever a coward. But we
are sure that he repented Of his sin, and
that God forgave him, for as we follow the
story Of his life we learn how his faith
grew stronger and stronger-so strong that
he did not hesitate when God tried him by
telling him &c prepare to sacrifice his be-
loved son Isaac.
This story of Abrahams sin teaches us
some very important lessons. We learn first
of all that even the strongest and noblest
and that if we are not constantly on guard
against the enemy We are almost sure TO
fall into sin.
In the next place we learn that it some
times requires a great deal of courage to
tell the truth. I have in mind the story of
a little bound girl whose life was very
unhappy one be cause her mistress was hard
and unkind. One day as she came from the
grocer's with number of parcels 1o-cent
piece slipped from her hand and dropped
through an opening in the boardwalk. The
little girl knew that she would be severely
punished If her mistress learned of her care
say that her purchases had amounted to 10
cents more than she had really paid for
them. AS the mistress rarely ever went to
the store herself, she knew that she could
be deceived and all the way home she
struggled with the temptation. But the
little maid was a Christian, and as she
turned in at the gate she prayed: Lord.
help me to tell the truth, and bear the
whipping" With the prayer in her heart
she went In and made her confession and
bravely bore the severe punishment. / am
sure that we all admire her courage, and
the lesson for us Is very plain. When we
are tempted to speak to act an untruth.
let us ask God to help us conquer the
temptation, and with His help we Will be
able to overcome it. No matter what the
circumstances may be, let us remember that
in Gods sight there Is never any excuse for
a he And let us remember. too, that the
telling of lie Is the saddest thing which
could happen to us, because, whatever may
be It's effect upon other people, 1t always
Injuries our own souls. It is better to bear
punishment, or ridicule. or loss, than to at
tempt to deceive others by speaking or act
ing an untruth.
Some Bible commands against falsehood:
Elk, 2O:16; Elk, 23:1; Lev, 6:3; Deut.. 1913
10: Job. 27:4; Job, Is: Psalms, SO; Prov,
1922; Eph, 4:25; Matt, 1919: John. S:44:
Let us study these verses very carefully,
and be prepared to repeat them from men,
DRY in the Junior meeting.
Yours for the Juniors,
EDITH VIRGINIA BRADT.

Six Swans.

From Grimm's Fairy Tales tGinn & Coz
There was king who had seven children.
SIX boys and girl, whom he loved above
everything else in the world He became
AFRAID that some great evil might happen to
them, so he took them away to a lonely
castle which stood in the midst of forest
This castle was 50 hidden that he himself
could not have found 1t If a wise woman
had not given him bali Of cotton which
unrolled when he threw 1t before him,
showing him the right path.
The king went so often to see his dear
children that an evil person wished to know
why he went to the forest. So she gave his
servants money, and they told her the Sc
cret, and also told her of the ball Of cotton
which alone could show her the way
She had now no peace until she found this
ball. Then she made some fine silken shirts
and sewed within each one a charm. One
day soon after. when the king had gone
out hunting. she took the little shirts and
went into the forest, and the cotton showed
her the path.
The children, seeing some one coming n
the distance, thought it was their dear
rather. and ran out toward her full Of joy.
Then she threw over each Of them a shirt
which, as it touched their bodies, changed
them into swans. which flew away over
the forest. Happily the little girl had re-
NAMED IN the castle, and so she was not
changed to a swan.
The next day the king went to visit his
children. but he found only the maiden
Where are your brothers?" asked he. "Ah,
dear father, she replied, they have gone
away and left me alone;" and she told him
how she had looked out Of the window and
had seen them changed into swans, which
had flown over the forest; and then she
showed him some feathers which they had
dropped In the yard, for she had saved
every one.
The king was very much grieved, and
feared the girl might also be stolen away,
80 ne took her with him.
The poor maiden thought to herself. This

baby robins when they PECK their way out
OF the blue eggs.
Peep into the nursery. Did you ever see
such funny little birdss With hardly feath-
er to their backs? But Mr., and Mrs. Robin
think hem the handsonest children in the
world, SO you must be careful to say moth
ing to hurt their feelings.
They wear only few pin-feathers and
some little patches OF down now. but before
long they will wear whole suits OF spotted
feathers; and when these get torn and fray
ed, the old feathers will Hrop out and new
ones will grow.
Isn't that an easy way to get new suit
OF clothes?
When they grow up. they will wear their
best suits, with slate-coiored coats, red
vests, white neckties and saucy black caps
and tails. -
How many robins have you seen this
spring?

A HEN IN TROtrRTF

n HEN In TROUBLE.
The ben Matched some duck eggs and as
soon as the ducklings were strong enough
20 walk the hen took them out to hunt for
some food. They spied a little pond near
the pump and jumped In. They started to
swim and the mother was very much wor-
ried but they would not come out She
ran around and around and got worm and
brought it to the edge OF the pond, but they
would rot obey her. She gave up in de-
spair. The little ducklings began to get
tired OF the water and came out. They ran
around crying and hunting for their mother
They Sound her but she thought they were
very queer chickens and would not have
anything to do with them. They were then
raised In the kitchen until big enough to go
with the ducks.
1 am waiting for next Saturday to come,
because want to know who were the prize
winners. as II has not been in the past
