His little son was standing near; and as the fath er took the packages from the box he laid them on the arm of the boy. A young playmate was standing and looking on. As parcel after parcel was laid on the arm of the boy, his friend began to fear that the load was becoming too heavy, and said : "Don't you think you have as much as you can carry ?" "Never mind," said the boy, in a happy tone, "father knows how much I can carry." Brave, trustful little fellow. There w as no danger, he felt, that i his father would lay too heavy a 1 load on him. It is such a spirit of; loving trust in him that God de-1 sires all His children to possess, i THE FEE SIMPLE.

He called and received five crisp l1 i i "i 1 1 u:il.. j i new i w tuns. "How much did you get?" he asked. "Two thousand dollars," said the lawyer. "Two thousand dollars, and you give me $500.
