Helen, don't do that"
After a while she did 1t again and
I said:
Helen. If you do that again. I viii
punish YOU"
After a while her grandmother came
and said that Helen had done what |
told her not to do. I called her In

Describes
His Experience.
l had never known Helen to lie to
me in her life. / thought | had suf-
ficient proof she did it and punished
her. She is naturally tender hearted
but she clenched her fists and never
shed a tear She went into the other
room and heard her playing hide
and-seek and having a good time.
Soon her grandmother said:
ct was mistaken about the thing
you told Helen not to do. 1t was
something else"
And SO the good spirit seemed to
say to me. AHA! you are wrong.
Call Helen in and tell her"
said, "She has forgotten 1t, don't
you hear her laugh?"
The good spirit seemed to say to
me, "Supposing she hasn't forgotten
It? Supposing she finds out that you
learned that she didn't do what you
asked her not to do and yet you pun
ished her. What will you do then?"
/ said, 20. Helen, come here.
She came in and l said:
isis, did wrong when punished
you. / just found out that you were
right and grandma was mistaken, and
/ was wrong when I punished you,
and feel awfully sorry. VIII you
forgive me, Helen?"
Her little arms went around my
neck and her tears rolled like rivers
Of water down her cheeks; she sob
bed until / thought her heart would
break, and from that day to this I've
never lost my influence over Sis.

| to shy around her and she'd say to
me, Pop, there is young fellow go
| ing to come home with me tonight,
and / want you to give him the once
over"
| And leave II to me! When he'd
go, she would say. What do you
| think of him?"
/ would say, His eyes are too close
/ to his nose; he has got too much coy
ote blood in him."
Unconfessed sin! That is one rea-
son why we drift down and away
from the Lord.

valley Of the shadow of death, l shall

Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort
