Il DIDN'T THINK"

II didn't Think The boy was
standing in the sitting room, looking
with very rueful face, at the frag-
ments Of valuable china at his feet.
He had been playing wild horses
there with his younger brother, al
though he knew il was strictly for
hidden. What harm is there in
itY" he had asked once, but was
very dissatisfied with his mothers
reply that he might do some dam
age. And now, well, he didn't
think about that china, and although
he knew he was disobeying, he
didn't think there was any real
harm in IT,
Once, many years ago, there was
a man sitting under the court OF the
High Priests house in Jerusalem,
warming his hands. Above him
another Man was being tried for
blasphemy. He could hear the an
cry voices OF those who witnessed
against Him. and the questions OF
the High Priest. That Man was his
Friend, but when he was asked il
he didn't belong to Jesus, he said,
NO"
am quite sure Peter didn't mean
to do il. lie loved Jesus too much
for that, and you remember how aft
erwards he went out and wept bit
terly. II was just that he didn't
think The first time ii slipped out,
and the second il came even easier
than the first. and the third time,
well, he had said il twice already.
But when he began to think, how
sorry he was; how much he would
have given to have his chance over
againl
remember my mother used to say
To me, 1T is no use being sorry
afterwards" and il would do us all
good 10 bear that in mind. II we
are sorry before we do anything
wrong or hurtful il won't get done,
but all our sorrow afterwards won't
do much towards mending matters.
n we thought what we were doing,
We should never say what was I'M
true. or do all sorts of unkind
things, and say all sorts Of cruel
things. Words can hurt as much
as blows.
II was a Sunday school treat, and
all the children were excited, and
looking very smart in clean, white
frocks and bright sashes, and every
thing else that you might have
wished for. But there was just
one little girl who hadn't new
dress. She was as clean as the
best of them. and her hair was
curled just as carefully, but no one
could say that her dress was new.
To one little girl, who was parti-
cularly smart. she seemed to spoil
the whole picture. AT first she
made the poor girl very unc0m-
Portable by staring at her, but at
last she went up to her and said,
If my mother couldn't have given
me a new dress to come in, I'd have
stayed at homer That was all, but
il spoiled the day for the little girl,
whose mother really couldn't afford
it, and il wounded the mother, who
had sat up late the night before
mending and ironing the old frock
ready for the treat, for, Of course.
the story went home.
I don't think the smart little girl
meant to be cruel, but she didn't
Think She didn't think that the
poor girl was already con-
scious OF her old frOck. She didn't
think that while she was the only
child Of her mother, the other moth
er had six little ones to look after
and dress. She didn't think how
her words would hurt.
But, then, we ought to think. God
has given us brains to think with
and He expects us TO use them.-S.
