Suppose I "reminisce" just for
aWhile.-go back to my childhood
and tell you some of my expert
ences, when was a little girl l
had . dear earthly father and moth
CT, whom I loved SO dearly, that l
was always perfectly happy when
was with them They were very
reiigious,-by this I mean that they
loved the Holy Bible and tried to
obey Gods law and follow Christ
Jesus teachings, and I think they
must have obeyed Christ's teachings.

she told Elijah that she had only
oil and meal enough to make ont
cake for her little boys breakfast
and that then they must die. Elijai
told her to take the meal and til,

this story, I said ! thought Elijal
was . very horrid man and very sci

breakfast. Then my teacher toll
me that the mother knew that Eli
