This truth / pray that you will heed.
Old Mother Nature

A scarecrow is a place to have fun.
At least 1t is for little people like
Danny and Nanny Meadow Mouse.
lust ask Danny. He can tell you II
he will. that never in his life had he
had so much fun as he and Nanny
had in the old scarecrow in Farmer
Rrown's cornfield. Both Danny and
Nanny like to play a little. Most of
the people of the Green Forest and
Green Meadow do like to play once
, in a while.
| Danny's and Nanny's favorite game
was hide and seek. There were
nockets in the old coat of that scare
crow. There were pockets in the old
trousers. Those pockets made Won
derful hiding places. Nanny would
start out with Danny chasing her.
Round and round and up and down
that scarecrow they would race.
! Nanny would disappear. Then Danny
womId ] hunt for her. Sooner or later
he would find her in one OF those
nockets Then Danny would hide and
| Nanny would try to find him.
They would chase each other IN
and out of the sleeves or the Ola coat
and up and down the trouser legs:
# was very exciting, and they had
no end of fun. you see, they felt
that they could play there without
stonuine every moment or so TO look
and listen for danger, and that was
an experience they had seldom known
before in their lives:
! Early one morning they started a
| game of hide and seek ana Danny

ESQ he. started out to look In every
pocket.

the old coat had an inside pocket
"That's where she Is" said Danny
to himself. Til steal up very softly
! and give her a scare"
! So Danny climbed very softly, TAX
ing care not to rustic a single stra "
of the inside of the scarecrow, until
he was where he could Jump quite
suddenly on II, the outside of thai

plump little body through the cloth

With the sense of ignorance Wis
dom takes her first step.
In the consciousness Of limited

He who thinks he knows every

For every part of the world exists
only IN it's relation to the whole
universe, and the full compass of that
is manifestly beyond human ken.
II is the narrow wminded man who
is most cocksure of his opinions and
ready to apply them to all subjects
and cases.
He will undertake TO regulate the
world on the basis OF a single mis-
interpreted verse Of Scripture.
But the great men of knowledge
arc content TO say:

In some cases the tribal names that
we're used, and which have survived
principally in the names of places set
tied, were formed on the spot. after
the name OF the chieftain of the band.
In other cases. and by far the ma
iority, they were brought with them
from their old Teutonic homes on
the continent. II was typical OF
these Anglo-SaXon tribal names that
they. ended in 'ingas," and their
counter parts are to be found in many
