ALL AFTER THE BLUE RtasoN
Remarkable UnsnIrrlsy Of knowledge
In Sunday School Class.

Nov, children" said the teacher Of
the infant class Of Sunday school, Il
told you last Sunday that each Of you
who learned verse from the Bible
and reclted II to-day would receive a
large blue ribbon. Let me see how
many OF you have learned a verse. "
There we're 20 or 30 boys and girls
from four to eight years Of age ranged
about her in a circle For a moment
there was no response to her question.
Then a bright looking girl timidly
raised hand.
"Ahl Julia has learned a verse" the
teacher said. Il am sorry that no
more hands are raised had hoped
that nearly all Of you would get blue
ribbon. But l suppose your mammaa
and papas have been very busy and
some Of you forgot Well, Julia, let US
hear your verse"
Walk in the light" the little girl
repeated. Then q boy who sat near
Julia put up his hand
"Ohl" exclaimed the teacher, Char
lie has a verse. too. What is It, my
boy2"
Walk in the light" responded
Charlie.
We'll" said the teacher, you
learned the same verse, didn't you?
IT'S very good verse. too. Walk in
the light hope we may all do so.
Now, is there any one else who has
learned a verse? Why, I see five.
six, seven, eight hands raised lwill
hear from you, Arthur, first
Walk in the light" said Arthur
The teacher looked rather hard at
Arthur, and said
GLADYS next What is your verse?
Speak out loudly so that all the class
may hear"
walk IN the light" shouted
Gladys.
BY this time all but two Of the
children who had not been heard from
we're holding up their hands. The
teacher looked at boy whose name
she had forgotten and asked: What
verse have you learned?"
Walk in the light" replied the
whole crowd in chorus, each little ore
apparently fearing there would not
be another chance to win the blua
ribbon.
