The little girl said 'yes and the la
dy took her to 'The Home,' and left
her there for the kind ladies to take
care of her.
Dear little reader, have yon a good
home and kind parents, who take care
of you and give you food and clothes?
I hope you have, and I want you to
think who it is that gives you your
kind parents and your pleasant home.
It is God, dear children, who gives
you all these erood things. It is that
great and. good Gorl who made yon
and has taken care of you all your life.
Hi made your parent, and he keeps
them alive, and pnt- it into their heart
to love you so much that they don't
mmd the trouble of taking care ot you,
and are willing to work hard to pro
vide you with all you need.
Yoh ought to love your parents very
much indeed,, and Jtry always to obey
them, and, do all you can to please
them and to help them.," God promis
es long life to thoce who honor tho:r
father and their mother; that means,
those who love and obey their parents.
But though you ought to love youv
father. and mother very much indeed,
you must love God a great deal more.
S Gold fhys we must love him with all
out-heart and r soul and mind and
strcngtir. We tnu-t love him better
than we love ourselves,- hotter than wc
love anybody else ;j for if we do riot
wc cannot be his children.
Dear children, you would think it a
very uroailtui tiling to Dp turne'i out
of doorsV'nnd have nodiome to go to
and no bed to .-deep on.. But do you
know that there was 0t", who for our
sakes became so poor that he hid no
home:?
Jesus Chr'st, our dear Savior, was
rich. lie lived in heaven that beau
tiful place where the streets are pav
ed with gold. lie Was God, ;md all
the holv aneel-? worshiped him.; Bat
lie left that beautiful heaven and came
down to this wo-ld and: became poor
so poor that he had no home, no bed
to sh'ep on ! When somebodv a krd
h'm where he l:ved,;. h" said. 'The fox-1
es have Ii:'e. the hi ds of tlv ai-have i
nests, but the Son of man hath nor
where to lay his head.'
Dear child en. 'it. was for our sakes
he suffered and died upon the cross.
It was to save you aniTTVie from coing.
down to hell. It was that we might
go to that beautiful heaven. Dear
children, can you refuse to love this
precious. Savior ?' Oh, give h'm your
heart now to-day.'.
His precious go-pel has b?cn made
knoAvn to von, and many a time yo i
have been told of his love and of your
duty to believe in lvm and obey him.
Do you treat any other k;.nd friend as
you treat him ? Or have you a friend-
on earth who is so kind to you as your
Friend in heaven ?
'Now, father.'

very intent just at that moment, on
shaping her ball of yarn with her

It was a dark d'av under the roof

The Squire's son had executed his

He reached out the strong arm and
lifted the small figure, and folded it up

0 tjvere was wonder and joy-in the
carpenter's house that night, when it
was discovered that Minnie's father
had returned to them ho whose hair
they thought had been draggled by the
salt sea waves for more than three
years. He had a long story to tell of
terrible misadventures by land and sen
of miscarried letters, and years of
s:ckness in a strange land, and at last
of restored health of tidings that had
reached him of the, death ofjiis wife,
and his daughter's adoption by their
neighborjand his old playmate, Jason
S rong.
And the;carpentci in bis turn, had
a mo irnfiul tale to relate of sickness
and povdirty; and hopes deferred ; but
the saddest part of the story was its
conclusion.
'A hundred? dollars ! groAvled the
sailor, and he drew out his plethoric
pocket-book.
'Old fripnd, you took my child into
your craft when the storm came down

There wa- double joy in the carpen-
ter'shouscthatnight. Johnnie Strong
was removed from jail, for the sailor
was as' good as his word, and a lawyer
was procured to plead the case of the
carpenter's son, who did it so ably and
eloquently that the bo' was acquitted,
to the groat astonishment and rage of
Squire Morton.
'I'm t' red of the seas, old. friend,'
aid the sailor, one evening a week af
er h's return, as he sat in Jason
S'rong'slitth? kitchen", withMinn'e on
his kneeiind her small brown fingers
fluttering j like the wings of newly
fledged birds in his iron gray hair :
'and when I lay out in an old raft, one
night at sea, and it seemed as though
