On!IY uno year ago RIHI hud gone abroad,papa snid, "'Causo God had RBon fit totake Unole Clide and buby Guy off toHeavBn to live with Him."

So Aunt Joy all robed in blackest black,with :auth a sad, white fuce, had gone off tofind if OOlything in all this wide, wide world.IconId tlike her mind off and cure hor,"papa said.

But now, Aunt Joy is back again, allwell and dressed in Raft pretty colors in­stead or that nasty black; sweoter !lnd morelovintg thlUl over.

Shill says, '(sbe iii all om's and JURt run­ning over with storieR."

Sru~ don't say whero she's been, but Nodaays "He knOWR Gou's hud hor somewhero,for sbe don't seom like folk.q and ho knowsif she wnntod to, sho could jU'lt fly n\vayany famo,"

I don'~ }mow JURt how that could 1)(\ hut.I do know, sbo makeR God como un<l <10just what Rho wunts Him to.

GJl(\ce haH bnd dreams an<l iR afraid ortho dlRrk. Tho other night sh~ criNl, andAunt Joy camo in and jURt took her rightup ia hor arms without ligllting tho gas,and nsked ber:

"Why are you almid of the <lark?"GlMe said, "Causo thoro's bug'ooR in it.""Gnn you see 'em ?""No; I jWitjlnk ?em.l'"TIlQ they hurt yon?""No; lmt l'fle Jfraid they will.""Are you lIfrai<l now T""1lI'0, callHO you'ro horo.""l!rot Huppo"e something Hearer/ fihollld

So Annt .Toy sat thore in tho dnrk, allRtill, till Grnco called out-

Grace decided to do so, and Annt Joywent back to her room.

I fE"lt so strangely abont her leaving God,there and wonuered what He'd think if,Grace got scared again.

Pretty soon I heard Grace say, "DearGod, when I said my prayers I hope you'll'seuse me for d'rf'Ctin' 'em to heaven, causeI didn't know tbe,n that you was. sure '1l1iffriaht hE:.'rE" and I could J'ust talk to yon ando ,

lo!:e you like Aunt Joy."

"I know d~ar God, you never made bng'­boos to scare little child..r:E"n-for now Iknow yon're here, the dark seems all fullof pretty Jinks, and I thank you, God, forfeeling so soft and warm to me." AndGrace went fast ac;leep.

Next morning after prayers,Grace climbedinto papa's lap and wnispered somethingtbat made papa look, anxious.

"Why, my dear baby, what makes yousay such strange things;" papa asked.

"Why, papa," said Grace, in wonder,didn't yon tell me so !'.'

"'No, dear.""Papa, don't you 'member yOll said lots

of times 'God was e,ery\vhere always?'""Yes, aear, I said that."'''Then what makes you fink irs fnnlly

cause he h'lJt off the bug'oos last r:ight 1""0, darling-! sometimes w}wn God shows

too much aU-ention to our loved ones wefear He is coaxing them away from ns."

"\Vby, papa, I dOll"t 'stan' yon.""Ask Aunt ,Toy, tbl'll, she can explain

to you the~e tbings. He coaxed her dar­ling boy, just your ag~, off to H('aven wit.hHim."

"Wby, Aunt Joy, 'I\'hat for? If He'sbere all t.he t.imfl, what (loes He take 'ern toheaven to have 'em tor!"

"He don't dear," said Annt J<4,y."\Vell, where is hf'aven, anyway?" asked

Grace."Heaven, swed one," Haid papa, "is where

God Jives; heanm is God's beaut.iful home."

"But, papa, I don't '.~hm', didn't you tl'llme God wag always wit.h t1.R! How can Hebe here and t.here too 7"

"Dear child, God is everywhere in heavenanei on eMth."

"Then what makes folks talk abont going.Hp to God when they die. wherfGod's righthereT'

"\Vell, my baby, you see, up in hE"avenGod has His throne, tile angels ate there,and when people get up there, they areneve·r iiick or sad and can't die. So peoplelike to think of getting up there to getaway from trouble, pain and death."

"Xow, papa, that don't seem nice forGod to be gooder to folks up there thando'wn here 7"

"0 Grace, baby;! Little folks can't un­dE"rstand the wise things of Goa."

"~ow, bruther," put in Aunt Joy, ".youdon't seem to agree with Jesus Cll~ist onthat subject. He said, 'I tbank thee, 0Father, t.hat thou bast hid these thingsfrom the wise anG prudE"nt and revealedthem unto babes.'

"If God is everywhere present, as yont~a~h these ch~ldren, why may not Grace ex­pect Him to do as much for her here as any­where? If He tills all place and all timebow is it possible for Him to be any morepresent at one place or one time than atanother?"

"\Vhy, Sister Joy," said papa, "yon takean unusual view of His omnipresence.Have we not·daily proof that although Godis eyer present that He does not choose tomake us satisfied with this life, but affiictsus tbat we may look w tbE-life beyond andprppare for heaven?"

"Brothf'r, will you plea, e to recalL" saidAllllt Joy, "the location of !J('l\ven as giH>nby Christ? It may give these children abet.t.(·r nndcrst.andiug of it."

Papa looked so funny tbat Aunt JoyWl:'nt on talking.

"Christ Said, 'The kingdom of Gou, or!Jeawn, is within you,' antI He further st.a­ted t.hat 'Ex.cept. ye become as little chil­dn'II yo cannot enter theroin.'

"Now, Grace, flt.e1"e is wh(':;:e Christ toldu~ we conld find heaven.

"As for t.he 'great white throne,' a kingnever takes his throne out of his kingdom;so you will find that t.here, too.

"If you will look closely you will findthat t.he 'white throne' is Jour own pureheart, for what other t.hrone would loz;e askfor, and Christ says, 'God is love.'

Points for Parents.:/T. y.r.YT.J

Wee W,:'qd071t makes n very humble be­ginning, but it will grow to be "big folks"in time.

for you, bllt.yOU see I couldn't do it, for I'vegot to d£e sometime to gel rid of this '''gameleg." Ned is lame.

"Xow that is something against this £n­side heaYen, isn't it! I wonder whJ Godmixes thin~s up so for us."

We thought a long time before Ned said:"\Yell, we can understand u:hy God is ev­erywhere all the time-because, you seE',He hns to be on hand to keep us a-breath­ing and the bi~ worlds agoing, but whetherHe can and H:ants to do anything ex17'a,who knows! Let's ask Aunt Joy."

[TO BE COXTISUED.]

The mission of WEE WISDOM i;5 not to en­tertain the children, but to call them out.To be always entertained is to be dwarfedand dependent, to be "caUed out" is to fol­low the harmonious law of the soul's un­foldment.

Who meddles with the he-art of the rose­b'ld? What lingers deft enongh t.o pryopen that marvel of folded beaut.y. We arewise enough to leavl) it alone to iollo"w theglad law of its own unfolding.

But om children! Have we dealt as wise­ly with these buJs of marvelous possibil·ities! Have we always remembered thatthey, too, must quicken and unfold throughthe inDate law of their own genius!

Have we not too oft.eu picked rougbly attheir folded petals and l)arbarously daubt>dtheir natural beauty with the colors of ourown notions of what tLt:y ought to be!

Have we not hindt'red and hampered andshut off the fr(le, fearless, fresh spirit thatwas claiming :::only its God-right to blossominto original beauty!

Let lIS cea~e our "don't.s" and "t.akecares," an(l all the folly that ha.~ led us tosnppose onrselves pattt'rns that should becopied by t.hose, our little ones. They hayethe broader faith, t.he cloarer vision, thetrust.ing lo\"(~, and "of such is t.he kingdomof heaven." "Their angels-pure thoughts-do always behold the face of my Fatherin heaven." LOl'e thE'm and t'·ll.st them,nnd 108ye them f7·ce.

;"Yes, dear, the angels are there, too, andalJe nothlDg more nor less than sweet, kindtihoughts eyer ready to fly about and carrymessages for therr king."

Papa got up and went off to his office.WJithout even kissing us.

Grace sat looking at Aunt Joy, and shew.oked as if the sun was shining on herfnce, but I couldn't find out how it gotthrough the curtains.

At last Grace said, "Now I am happy,Aunt Jor. When papa was saying God}(las so good to folks in heaven and so badto us, I just felt He had no business t() stayhere all thfl time fo hunt up the bad things\Ve do and make us sick and 'fraid He'sb'Oing to kill us all the time. Now, I justcouldn't help but fink how much gooderI'd be to folks if I had everything like Heoos. 'Vhy, I wouldn't do nuffin' all mylong-, long life but make 'em happy, if I'seHim."

"Bless your sweet heart, darling! that'[oYing tho"ught is one of His angE'ls comingout from the throne now. That's just whatGod 1'S doing all the tOmE', making peoplehappy, but they won't know it. and won'tgo into hE'aven and be happy.

":Now, darling, go into your sweet littleheaven and always dwell there among theangels and keep them bnsy, for God willbt yon do all the good in His kingdom youwish to do. And His angeLc; will go out~nd do t.he work yon tell them to do.

"So dear one, always keep the door ofJOur heart shut to naughty, unkind tho'ts;black angels, they are, and yon will d\vellwith the angels of love and light always,an<l work with them, for God is in you,an<1 where God is heayen is.".

A\mt Joy and Grace went up to mamma'sroom. Poor mamma is always sick.

When we were left alone, Ned and I just100kod at each other, for we didn't knowwhat to say. At. last Ned broke out, "I say,Trixey, what in the world would you giveto have true what Aunt Joy says!"

"I felt kind 0' strange OH'r that talk," I;,;aid, "but if we can get to heaven withoutdying, I'm in for it."

~l3d threw up his cap and whisUe<1 andflaid, "that would be joll;y.l'

'l'hen he got r('al sobnr and thonghtnwhile and ~aid:

When you read this remarkable story,chosen. for our first Bible study, if you stopwith thinking only about the boy who saved.the armies of Israel by his splendid courageand effecti.e "sling-shot," ye1u are simplypicking at the empty shell of little David'sexperien.ce.

In all these histories n'Corded in our Biblelie the common truths and experiences ofall Goers children.

What is it to you to know of the marvel­ous victory one lad's bravery and faith inhis God, gained for the armies of Rigbt., ifyou find not lcithin yourself that samestrong, fearless Spirit rising up to makethe same telling stroke for your highestideas of Good '?

You can cnly get the ken~el out of theselessons by making all the pos!Oibilities theysuggest your wry own. J esns Christ meantthis, when hp. said, "Ye search tho Script­ures, for in them ye think ye have eternallife and they are they that Ulstify of me"-Truth manifest in tlte Jlesh.

This is really what makes you always soeager to do-yon want to manifest Truth.

You are wandering what all thi~ has todo with David and Goliath! E'l:crything,for wben we study into the meaning of allthese hard narn3S used in telling this story,we really crack wide open this old historynut and find its meat just like the familiarkernel of our lives.

These very desires that urge u~ to doright, stand for the" army of Israel" inthis story-for Israel means Soldier of God.~ow when these desires for Oood:-or Sol­diers of God, find that the Philistines areencamped against them, they are veryanxious t.o rid the cOlHltry of them.

"It was a good dny for me, Aust.in, whenI first stlW her, wasn't it !"

"I think so, my dear fellow."

I am only a little sparrow,A bird of low degree:

:My life is of little valne,But the dear Lord cares for me.

·With neyer a speck of crimson,For it was not made for Show.,

But it koops me warm in winterAnd it shields me from the rain­

'Vere it borderedwith gold or purple:Perhaps it would make me vain.

I fly through the thickest forest,I light on many a spray,

And r fold my wings at twilightWhere,(lr I happen to be,

For the Father is always watchingAnd no harm can come to me.

I have no barn nor storehouse~
