THE CHlLDREN'S PULPIT

A gentleman advertised for a boy
to work in his store. 1t was a fine
place and many boys answered the
advertisement. Among them was one
who seemed likely to win. He was
tall and good looking. strong and
willing to work. Another lad APP
peared equally promising. and the
merchant hesitated between the two.
But when they came TO his office the
second time, he noticed that one of
them had. on both occasions. left the
heels of his shoes unblacked. Every
where else the shoes were shining.
but the olacking had not touched the
heels And that decided it, The
boy who lost the place lost 1t be-
cause he did not finish his job.
He~had- 70 Idea when he left those
heels untouched as he was backing
his shoes that 1t would make any diff
ference. Nobody will see it, he
thought. But he had to learn that
little things are great things. He

Jesus said. us faithful also in that
which is much" And faithfulness Is

oned that a boy who left unfinished

would be likely to neglect small
things In his business.
To do perfectly the smallest things
we have to do Ia the sure way to
establish the habit Of thoroughness.
And few things in life count for more
than thoroughness. The great artist

THE LITTLE STRANGER

They had been. told there were
many. many silent men and women,
as well as little children; and they
learned much about the great work
that is going. on In New York City as
well as In New Ynrk state, for them
all ga D.s.., 80.
With Miss Mitchen's, help they found
out the names Of missions, and homes.
for these Unfortunate ones. and then
they set to work upon things to make
the members and inmates happy.
For one old n,sfn they made a scrap
book. containing only pictures OF
Washington and his homes, and the
places where he stopped during the
dreadful days of the revolution
They made a flower scrap book for
an old lady I'm one OF these homes.
full OF pictures cut from -sefd and
flower catalogues. which delighted her
for many days,
Then they made little calendars of
bright red bIotting paper. with pic
ture over the DAYS Of the months.
They made little kinderga rten
frames. and tied them with pretty rib
bon. They dressed dolls. and sent toys
to deaf-mute children; and finally, do
you know. there grew out Of. these
chldren'sP interest and efforts a mis-
sion for deaf at that very
church. where clergyman who knew
the sign language was stationed to
