JUST A LITTLE THANK YOU"

Amy, what did you mean by say
ing Thank you Just now when your
knife fell down and nearly cut your
foot ONT" asked Eunice Fort as Amy
Strong folded up her knife and put It
back into its case.
Did 1 say thank you aloud, sure
enough - Amy asked In surprise.
Why. yes; as you leant over and
picked 1t up. I heard you say very
easy, but didn't hear IL all. thank
you, and l wondered whom you were
thanking and for what you were
thankful. You were saying something
else, but couldn't make 1t out.
Amy blushed. Ruth, / will tell
you, IL you promise not to laugh at
me-"
"Of course / won't, Amy"
''Well, I was just thanking God for
not letting the knife hurt me. / al
ways think He is near Us. and acts as
a real live friend would do il he were
about. You see, I carelessly let the
knife fall: He carefully directed the
falling so that 1t missed my foot that
was near"
Amy, do you always do that?"
why, yes, Ruth, unless ] forget,
and then I'm ashamed of myself: and
az soon as thank Him for any kind
ness I've omitted to thank Him for
1 try to be poiite TO my 1riends. ana
why shouldn't be polite to my God?
Isn't He the very best Of friends?"
II hadn't thought of 1t that way.
Amy" and now 1t was Ruthss turn to
grow crimson.
II didn't. either. for long time,
but one day something happened, and
1t seemed to me / could see hand In
it, and l asked myself whose hand
was It, and / had to answer. Gods.
And then l said to myself. well. l
wasn't very polite to God. for ] hadn't
shown Him any appreciation for His
thoughtfulness to me, and / closed
my eyes. and without opening my lips.
said: I thank Thee, o Lord. for that
Kindness Several times during the
course OF the same day such things
occurred. and | kept saying each time
the same words. Now 1t is a habit.
and 1t helps me to keep very near to
Him and to keep Him very near to
me-"
Please, Amy. so little further.
and let me see what you mean"
Well, this morning, as / was wash

OF several others, and none was crack
ed or broken. Who kept them from
breaking? Yesterday, as busted the
parlor. upset beautiful vase on the
mantel: wouldn't have broken It for
a great deal. As II was slipping to the
hearth, caught II. Who enabled me
to do SO before II sustained any ins
jury: AS combed my hair last night
one of my largest hairpins dropped to
the floor at my feet. Who kept II from
falling under the bureau, where II
would have been difficult to reachf
And when drew my pins out Of my
waist, one fell before me instead OF
under the bed. Who made 1t lie In
that convenient place, instead Of maxi
ing me get on my knees and search
for it? Last week / wanted to sec
some one very much. The individual
lived in the other end OF town, and II
would have taken long walk to carry
me there. / met him on my was
home Tuesday afternoon. Who per
mitted it? I paid call one day week
before last; / reached home safely
when the threatening clouds SAINT
down shower of rain. Who allowed
me 70 arrive home safely without be-
ing caught in the shower? / was part
ing apples, the knife slipped, and
nearly cut my hand. Who prevented
it? Il was writing a letter; the pen
held ink. dropped on the floor or
table. and not on the clean. white
sheet, Who caused 1t to fall there
and not on the paper3 was going to
take a trip on the cars: by some slight
cause i was detained: the cars were
derailed, passengers were injured.
Who spared me?
why. Ruth. If ! attempted to tell
you how many times during tho day

don't believe l could. II You don't
believe me, try it yourself. OF course.
take IL for granted you believe there
is Hand at the helm that steers the
ship. and does not leave 1t TO the
mercy of the waves"
II must acknowledge, Amy. / have
been very derelict In this duty. and
God must have a poor opinion Of my
manners.
II really believe 1t pleases God to
have us attribute to Him what He
does, and not take everything rs .
matter of course. and not as special
favors from Him. I think He likes
to have us thank Him. thus showing
our appreciation of His constant pres
ence and His loving thought; besides.
1t makes US more thoughtful of Him
and more grateful every day. We
are enabled to understand q little the
love that sends every good and every
perfect gift from above. Don't you
think SO ?"-V. E. Wilson. In Ch"-

The Little Boy Scout.


The little Boy Scout goes marching out
In a khaki suit of tan,
And broad felt hat with silver
cord.
Just like a grown-up man.
He feels so big as he swings along
In step with the line of boys,
That he knows he never again will cry
Or play with his childish toys.
The little Boy Scout Is only eight,
And his eyes are blue and bright
His mother kisses and tucks him up
In his pretty white bed each night.
Tramp. tramp, tramp. on the weary
road
He is tired and hungry, too.
But to fall behind In the dusty march
Is not what man would do.
The little Boy Scout is home again;
To bed in the dark he goes.
No more afraid of the bogey-bears
That Turk on the stairs, he knows
He has learned to conquer the pain
of life,
AS only a brave heart can.
And his mother steals to his cot to
say,
Good night my little man

Dear Aunt Nancy:
Well. Lees birthday Is over. am
wure all the v. J. G. members ce1e-
brated IL some way.
The Chase City High school gave us
all day holiday. which. OF course. we
all were glad to have.
] skated mom all day. and I had
lots of fun.
Monday evening. After my lesson !
SIX ated until dark.
Monday night we all were invited
up Laura Belle Jackson, as 1T was also
her birthday. We played, rock, ="
'ttddledy winks," and "old maid" and
had lots OF fun.
As the moon was shining bright we
decided to go out doors and play.
Everyone wanted to play different
thing. but the matter was decided
some way to play hide and go-seek,"
and we could hide anywhere. We all
soon got tired Of this, so we played
"Eo-in and out-the-window," which
was enjoyed by everyone.
We then returned in the house.
There was on the wall a large picture
of Lee and also Laura Belle. whoever
touched the right eye OF Lee" and the
left eye of Laura Belle" would win
the prize. All the children were blind
folded. 1t was lots of fun watching diff
ferent ones, touching different places
You will be amazed when I tell you
who got tho prize. for ] was very
much surprised myself. Why 1t was
me. Just AZ I got the prize the clock
struck ten. 80 we all went homo and
began skating again Tuesday morning
Now, Aunt Nancy, / think you might
write and tell us what you did.
We will sooon have to begin our
work for Valentine. Haven't we?

Have you ever seen any sense IN our

and then not requiring anyone to oh
