Life is made up first of one little thing
and then another: and all these little
things make a great aggregate; and let
US remember that one who is faithful
in that which is least will be faithful also
in much. Margaret e. Sangster
Margaret Sangster tells this little Sun
shine anecdOte. Il was in a little IA iIway
station in New Jersey, and I saw the
whole story of one home in an act done by
a stranger whom l had never seen be-
fore. There came into the car at a GER
tain station a poor Italian woman. She
had in her arms one heavy baby. She had
another baby Juggling at her skirt and she
was further encountered by an immense
bundle, and the poor thing came in. and
being a stranger in a strange land. was
evidently very much worried as to whether
she would get off at the, right station:
Presently we arrived at the station and
the conductor was hurrying the people
and there she was with her babies and
her bundle. Sitting right beside her was
young man. evidently a college student
with his books. He was sitting there,
apparently paying very little attention.
But presently he saw her predicament
and he at once arose. and saying Madam
allow me-" he took up one baby and the
bundle and carried them to the door and
stepped out. and lifted his hat as he de-
posted them on the platform and came in
and took his seat without a shadow OF
and opened his book
and went right on reading I said to my
self: 1 don't know that boys mother;
don't know that boys sisters; I don't
know the home he came from. but l do
know that it is a home fra grant with the
peace of Christ and sweet with all thu
loving kindness that Christ teaches =
