A VERY nice letter came to me few
IA days ago from little boy thirteen
- years old, living in New Jersey
From what he wrote l could see that he
had been reading some things which
had had printed in the Evening Journal
and that led me to conclude that this sun
day, in place Of the usual sermon written
for grown.ups, ] would prepare one with
special reference to the children, using as
subject the story of Joseph and his breth
rem.
One reason why we sometimes find it
difficult to talk TO you, children, is that
we forget that you are much the same
thing as grownup people are, only done
nm in smaller parcels. You go to the store
and get pound Of tea. Your father goes
and orders ten pounds. Your pound comes
home the string is taken on, little OF II

az much tea as that which your father
bought, only done up in smaller package

parcels: you girls are women tied up In
small bundles.

uncomfortable about it. The fun you had
in doing 1t was not so great as the un.
happy feeling that comes over Won be-
cause you have done it. You keep it to
yourself while, and little spot inside
you somewhere goes on aching and aching
I'LL you cannot bear it any longer, and
then you go and tell mother all about it.
A good many years later when old
Jacob supposed his little boy was dead
and his brothers had now no kind of an
idea what had become of him, they went
away from home a long distance into
strange country to buy something to eat
Here they were caught and shut up. They
began to think the end had come
so these brothers got frightened. Per-
maps they had never once mentioned to
each other the poor little boy they had
been so cruel to since the day so long ago
when they last saw him. They had done
deal of thinking about him though
dare say they had dreamt about him. And
now they are all thinking about him; and
at last it all came out, the ache they had
been carrying those long years. and what
did they say? They said. we didn't do
right about our brother; the poor little
fellows heart was broken, and we wouldn't
pity him. He begged us to take him back
10 his father and we turned our back on
him and wouldn't listen. That is why we
are here
Now you children have understood all
this because you have had just a little Of
the same feeling yourselves. | do not
mean that you have done anything as bad
as what Joseph's brothers did to him, but
when you have thought about doing any
thing tlfat was wrong something has
seemed to say to you better not" Then
II you do IT, that something seems TO make
you uncomfortable, unhappy because you
have done It. Now what do you suppose
makes this? Instead of answering that
question exactly ! want to give you part
Of a simple story that appeared IN one OF
our papers a while ago, written By Theo-
dore Parker. When / was not quite five

are glad with and that you are sorry with.
In the same way children's minds and
hearts tick along and keep time with the
minds and hearts of people that are older
and that weigh more and measure larger.
Now, in this machine, this little ticker
that is inside us there is one part, one
little wheel of INTERCHANGEABLE, that is
more interesting and more important than
almost any other. The older people have
it in them and the little people have 1t in
them. We do not give 1t any name yet
You will guess it pretty soon Boys and
girls have it now. Jacobs boys had it.
That IS why we took for our text the
verse we did.
You remember that Joseph's brothers
put him in pit. He had dreamed that he
was going to be a greater man than they.
Perhaps they we're afraid that his dreams
would prove true. At any rate, they flung
him into a we'll. Then as they did not
quite like TO leave him there to starve,
and hardly wanted to take him out and
kill him outright, they drew him out after
a while and sold him-sold him just as
you would sell dog you had gotten tired
of-sold him to be a slave down in Egypt.
It must have been little hard for them
10 see the little fellow going away out Of
their sight, carried off by lot Of men
him if they felt like it, and only half feed
him if they took a notion to. They were
provoked with him, 10 be sure, but he was
their brother and ii was going TO break
their old fathers heart almost. Something
in them kept saying, Don't do It," Then.
after it was all over and he was gone and
they sat down together and talked abou;
other things, they were thinking about 10.
seph all he time There was something
in them that felt uncomfortable. II was
queer feeling; we cannot describe it very
we'll
