Family Worship,

There is probably no mistress OF a
household who has not felt uncertain
about asking guests to join in family
worship. Every one has acquaintance
she would not hesitate to ask to the
table, but would hesitate to ask TO the
home altar. Perhaps the reluctance
arises from a dissimilarity of creed,
and q fear OF offense In consequence
But the diversity of the creed is no
bar Prayer has nothing TO do with
creeds. Prayer is the universal re-
ligion, and men Of every creed and
men of no creed may meet together
at the feet of one heavenly Father.
The reluctance arises more likely from
weak shamefacedness which too often
prevents sympathy between friends on
spiritual subjects They are afraid
to be misu understood, smiled at, criti-
cised. The latter idea Is one which
even good and great men have not
always met bravely. for when DIR. Full

THE ATTIC WINDOW.

OF all the windows In our house,
like the attic window best.
Because It's high and small and round.
And oh, so different from the rest!
For every single way you look
Is like fairy picture-book!
Such lovely things there are outside!
Red chimney stacks, and near. blue
sky,
And fat cats walking on the roofs,
And baby cloudlets skipping by:
And pigeons cooling on the sill,
So l can stroke them, If / Will!
The smoke plumes from the chimney
stacks
Are banners waving to and fro.
While gallant knights, with prancing
steeds.
Through the long roof-lanes come
and go.
The clouds at sunset often hold
Great palaces of shining gold.
The wind comes rushing round the
caves.
Shakes the loose catch. and cries.
How do"
Then whirls away TO chase the birds
And tumble down nest or two;
But though he's rought as he can be.
He always has a laugh for me.
The sun steps in and cries "Helloi
Here's just the place I'm looking
fort"
He sees my books upon the shelf.
He sees my toys upon the floor
And then he sees me sitting there,
And runs warm fingers through my
hair.
Just think! II some day I should be
A great white bra with beating
wing,
And from my window fly away
over the edge of everything,
Oh, wouldn't 1t be fine to know
Where all the summer daytimes go!

CHILDREN, MY.FRlEND;
VAN DYKE

Van Dyke was Boston terrier with
q very short tail that had kink. This
kink marked him as a descendant OF
blue blood. His big brown eyes, his
inquisitive pug nose, small bat ears
which ne kept erect, gave his finely
marked face such an Intelligent ex-
preston that people often said. What

He worked very hard all day help
couldn't really do any work, but he
inspected everything that was done.
even to the making Of the bed.
He also assisted in the care Of the
hens by faithfully keeping the yard
clear of strange cats.
When the little chickens began to
hatch in the spring, 1t was Van Dyke
who heard the first faint peep. Very
often his mistress found him stand
ing by Matching box gravely watch
Ing the mother-hen. If his mistress
took one of the little chicken in her

was his way of kissing the baby chick

His one toy was three-pound lard
pail, and, when his self-imposed du-
ties were over, he would have a frolic

an open space, toss 1t into the air
and catch it on his nose. This he
would do again and again with In

tired of playing alone, he would pick
up his pail and set II before his mis-
tress or some favored friend. and the
expression on his face plainly said,
Please play with me-"
During my acquaintance with Van
Dyke. I do not recall that he ever feft
his pail in a neighbours yard or in the
street. If the clothes yard was in
use, he always carried his pail else
where.
Do you know how dogs tell time?
I do not, and Van Dyke never told us
the secret. But every afternoon. ex-
cept on Sunday, about 3 o'clock he
would sit in the window, or on the
doorstep IL the weather was fine. and
watch for his masters train.
Once No. 200. his masters engine,

He was standing up looking out OF
the window one day, absorbed In
watching a cat. when all at once he
showed that he was intently listen
ing. In a few seconds he went to the
door. talking all the way and eager
to get out. His master opened the
door and Van Dyke rushed out and
turned excitedly, waiting for his mas
ter to follow.
Then we all understood. for down
at the roundhouse No. zoos bell was
changing. The engine had just been
brought back.

She lived about one mile from town,

had all of tho baking and cooking

No matter how fhard she wo 'ked,

months passed quickly. July and
August had fed, and September was
here; in fact, it was almost gone, and
she had formed no definite plan yet.
Finally mother was able TO walk
around but still she was very weak,
and little Lucille worked patiently on.
She had given up hope AT last, az
there seemed no way in which her
desire could be fulfilled, However.

kitchen while she was washing the
supper dishes, She tried TO smile up
at him and hide her tears. After tell
ing her how proud he was of his 1T

into her hand and hurriedly walked
away. She was so happy at what he
had said that she did not think OF
the crumpled ball in her hand for
some time. However, as she turned
to her dishes again. she was reminded
Of 1t, and. opening her hand, she

The Magic Apple

Such a rainy day" said little Amy,
dolefully. II wish that I knew some
thing new to do"
When was little girl" said her
mamma, IT used TO think II great
fun TO make a magic apple and sur
prise my papa. How would you like
to make one for your papa ~
Amy was delighted with the Idea,
and brought a large, fair apple. Her
mamma gave her long needle and
strong thread, and showed her how
to take q long stitch in the apple
close under the skin Amy drew
the thread. leaving about two inches
hanging out OF the apple. Then she
put the needle into the very hole that
1t came out Of, and took another long
stitch, and so on all around the APP
pie, at the end bringing the needle
and thread out of the very first hole.
Then she took hold of both ends of
the thread and pulled hard, but care
fully: and all the thread came out OF
the first hole. Amy rubbed the ap-
pie, which was a fine red one. until
did not show.
When her papa came home. Amy
gave him the apple. and he sat down
by the Are to eat It He began to
peel 1t with his sharp knife. oh, how
surprised he looked when the apple
suddenly fell in two when he had 1t
a little more than half peeled
Amy was pleased and surprised. too.
for she had not realized that she had
cut the apple in two under the skin
when she pulled the thread out; bat
she had.
Any child. with little care, can
make a magic apple just as Amy did,
and surprise somebody very much

She seems to know the things to dc
To make you have a good time. too
She lets me cut out hrown-hread men
And cookie stars and moons:
And, If she's made some chocolate
cake,
always lick the spoons.
And, fore she starts TO sweep the

She rides me round upon the broom.

GEORGE AND MARY'S
ADVENTURES
BY LUCILLE MARsTON.

Once upon a time there lived two
sweet little children. named George
and Mary. They were very fond OF
fairy stories, and mother always told
them a fairy story before bedtime.
After mother had finished and gone
downstairs, George and Mary saw
beautiful fairy como and stand on the
pillow. Wont you little children
come with me and see what q beau
tiful place 'Fairyiapd' is?"
yes. we will CO." answered both OF
the children. Mamma has told us
many stories OF 'Fairyland.' and we
would be very glad to 60"
She took both Of the children and
carried them through the window, and
they were soon in the woods. she
stopped before a large oak tree. The
children were very much surprised to
see the fairy open q door ard lead
them into this oak tree. They went
through beautiful passage into
large reception hall, where there were
hundreds of little fairies dancing and
having a very merry time. They were
very glad to see the two children. and
they formed a large ring and danced
around George and Mary.
This kind fairy had sent for these
little fairies to meet and entertain
George and Mary and show them
through "Fairyland."
They had q fne time. and learned
much OF "Fairyland" while there, but
the time soon came for them to return
home.
"George!" called his mother. You

They got up and told the story OF
their adventure in "Fairyland."
