TO believe that he will Furnish All mat We
need for ourselves and all that We feel I'M
pressed to give to others.
Have you ever noted how easy 1t Is TO get
something that We have set our hearts on tor
some one that we know really needs IT. Inc

heard good lady tell of going into sun
day school where the children were not taking
enough interest I'm learning the lessons. And /
expect all could tell Of one similar. so she
promised every one that would be prompt ana
have a good lesson for certain length OF time
nice Bible. When she made them the promise
she said. Nov. Lord. l have promised the 81
hIes anil have no money to pay for them, but !
am going to trust you for the money and she
believed that lie would send IL. And just be-
fore the time was out she got or the ualn
one DAY and noticed a purse that some one had
lost She went to the ticket agent and told
him that she had found purse and gave him
her name and address so that when the loser
made Inquiries II could be found. But she new
er heard a word from anyone. She took that as
Gods way of providing the money IL buy the
Bibles. While she was in Atlanta God reached
gave her the incest Bible that she had promised
the making the best record.

We often hear people speak up and say

make with our grocer.
m takes money to run all the institutions that
are for the upbullding Of humanity. II little
that VIC can give will help good cause. let
us give freely and cheerfully and above all give
what we have come out in public and promised
When We start out to see some poor person
IN need of this worlds gods let not forget
to take something along that they need, they
will appreciate Il and we viii not miss II. Let $
not think that the pantry must be full and
overflowing before we are able 10 spare any
thing. I heard OF one poor afflicted lady that
bad been az home so long and had seen the same
s,rrounSinrs and eaten the same cooking so
long say that Il would be such treat Tor some
one to cook meal and bring IL 10 her as
surprise, aad change, not that she did not have
enough for they were well TO 10 people. but we
all kno~ how much good II does us TO be re-
membered when We are sick.
One little woman when she heard of Ii said
I do wish I had two or three hams and men,
tiored teveraI other things. would fix her
nice meal. Another lady present did not think
that II would require quite much to make
her happy one time and went to the cook room
and prepared several things that she thought
would tempt and please her and carried II to
her and the bright smiles Of appreciation more
than paid her for her trouble. The poor afflict-
ed enc has passed TO the home of the good. And
that little woman Is stfl glad that she tried
to make life a little more pleasant for her
while here.
Long live Miss Thomas and may the dear
Lord bless her In the noble work that she
is doing I am like most OF the readers OF
Household page. ! like IL best.
