to die. Please do, for Jesus sake, ,
Amen" and then she burst into tears.
There was not a dry eye in the school
room when the prayer ended and there
was not a child there who did not pray
in its heart that Molly might get well.
The next morning after the opening eX-
ercises the teacher said "Children, you
will all be very glad to know that Car
rvs prayer for Molly has been answer
ed Molly is much better to-day and
the doctor is sure that she will get we'll /
Let us thank our Heavenly Father for
His goodness. "
When, some weeks afterwards, Molly
was able to 90 to Sur day school, what
was her surprise to see Carry teaching
class of the ittest children. 1t seems
she told the teacher the day they heard
that Molly was going to get well, that
she wanted to learn about the Bible,
and asked her what she had better do.
After some thought the teacher said,
Il would certainly go to Sunday school
if were you and will ask the superin-
tendent where you had better go.
They found it rather difficult to decide
what was best to do, for Garry was so
ignorant about the Bible she couldn'
go into Molly's class, and they wouldn't
ask her to 90 into a small girls class.
Suddenly an idea came into the SUI
perintendent' mind and he said Il
think Carry might teach that class of
littlest ones. You know their teacher
has gone to Rutland and I've been Won
dering what | could do to fill her place.
You see what she'd teach them would
be the simplest things and that might
be the best way for your Carry to learn
about the Bible When Carry was
asked to take the class she hesitated
good while, but on the teacher assur-
ing her that it was the very best way
for her to learn, she consented. And
she was glad she did, for she enjoyed
her work from the first minute. The
little tots in the class were perfect
dears, and she was never so happy as
when they were gathered about her and
tried to answer her questions. And
they loved their young teacher dearly.
Her knowledge Of and interest in the
Bible increased wonderfully as she
studied during the week the lesson for
the next Sunday. When the Sunday
school was over, and they were getting
ready to go into meeting, Molly came
up to Garry and putting her arm round
her kissed her tenderly and whispered
in her ear, II thank you, darling Carry,
for your prayer for me-" And as she
kissed her again Carry felt tear fall
on her cheek Oh. how happy she felt
to have her dearest friend back again.
INLAY sit with you in church, Molly,
dear" There was do doubt what the
answer would be and the two gil Is went
hand in hand into church and there was
not any happier ones there than those
two, except perhaps Molly's father and
mother and Dick. There were certain
ly none who sang the hymns so heartily
and with such sweet voices Many peo-

over. Carry seemed to forget every
thing except the words of the hymn she
was singing and she just poured out
her thankful heart in praise. But
another strange thing happened that
day. AS Molly and Carry were coming
out at the close Of the service, what
was Molly's establishment to see Car
rvs father and mother coming out
from pew. She whispered to Garry,
: who was going with her eyes cast down,
: she was so full of emotion, Look

Carry saw them just as they We're go
