A STILL SMALL VOICE,


One day early in April sat reading on
the grass beneath an old oak tree. While
I sat there very interested in the story
which I was reading I thought I heard
someone talking. I looked around but
could see no one. Thinking it was only
imagination I continued reading my
story. In a few minutes I again heard the
same sound. This time I stood up and
looked in all directions as far as eye could
reach, but still could not see anyone.
While I stood there feeling quite salts
fed that the spirits were whispering to
me, I happened to glance up at the bare
branches of an elm tree. Away up, on
the very end of a little twig, I noticed one
little leaf. "Ah! II said to myself, ''You
are the guilty one" then climbed up
into the tree to where the little leaf was.
