mysteriousiy iahhed by a poisoned

Strand. was caused by niece Of
mine whose father was a clergyman
and whom l took to church for the
first time. She did not in the least
know what her father did and for a
long time did not observe him. But
after sitting quietly beside me for
some time. hardly daring to raise her
eyes because l told her she must be
quiet or she would not 60 to church
again. she suddenly. in the middle OF
the sermon, looked up and saw him.
and screamed: "Auntie. look. there's
daddy up there! And whatever is he
yelling about?"
Which reminds me Of two little
nephews of mine who were taken to a
churchyard by a very old and pious
aunt. She, thinking to impress the
surroundings on them, said, You
know, Jack and Fred, it is only the
body that lies here. Now, what part
Of him goes to heaven?" His head. l

There are probably many mothers
who have had cause to smile At the
quaint additions which their children
at times have made to their prayers
A little girl friend of mine was once
taken to ventriloQuial entertain
ment, which impressed her very much.
While saying her prayers that night
she asked God to look after all her
brothers and sisters and make her \
good girl. Then there was q pause
