The Happiest Day B y L ouise M. O glevee D0N T want to go to Sunday- || school,” grumbled Harold. “I want to stay home and play.” ‘‘Very well,” said Mother. “O f course I shall go, but if you will stay in the back yard, you may play until I come back.” When Mother went upstairs to get ready, she went into Grandmother’s room and told her about Harold. Grandmother was lame and could not go to church, but she had merry eyes and a cheery smile. “I’ll tell Harold a story after a while,” she said. Mother had not been gone five minutes before Harold came in to ask Grand mother for a pin. He found her looking at the picture o f a little girl. “Do you know who that is?” she asked. Harold shook his head, and then Grand mother chuckled. “ It is your own. mother,” she said. Harold took the picture in his hand and tried to see how the little girl looked like the mother he knew. “We lived away out in the country then,” said Grandmother, “and on Sunday morn ing we had to get up earlier than ever if we didn’t want to miss church. “ The very week after this picture was taken, Lottie’’ (that -is you fnother, you know) was helping me get ready for church, when somehow she slipped on the top cellar step, and down she went, bump- ety bump, to the very bottom, where she lay all crumpled up, white and still. My, how frightened we were, and how glad when, after a few minutes, she opened her eyes! She was bumped and bruised, but not badly hurt, and as soon as she could, she said : ‘We’ll have to hurry, or we’ll be too late for Sunday-school.’ ‘“ We’d better not think o f trying to go this morning,’ said her father, but Lottie straightened up her poor, bruised little back and said, “ ‘I think we ought to go to say thank- you to God for not letting me get hurt any worse.’ “ So off we went, and the air was so sweet, and we were so glad to all be to gether safe and well, that it was just the happiest Sunday we could- 'remember. I am sorry that I cannot go to God’s house now on His day, but I can think about Him and love Him and thank Him here in my room.” Harold looked down at his strong legs. He had never thought before about being thankful for them. “ I guess I’ll go to Sunday-school,” he said suddenly. And a few minutes later, he walked into the room where the chil dren were singing, “ Thank ' Him, thank Him, all ye little children.” Harold Sang loudest of all, and that af ternoon he said to his mother, “I think Sunday is the happiest day of all the week, don’t you?” — P rimary B ible S tory . What Shall I Do Now? Several have written, asking this ques tion, What shall I do now that I have read through the Gospel o f John, and have be come a member of the K.Y.B. Club?” Nu| trust, dear children, that the reading o f this gospel has made you want to read more of God’s Word. Why not read a chapter through each day, beginning with the New Testament? Read carefully each month every word on your Junior page, You will surely find something there to do. If you are a sub scriber to T he K ing ’ s B usiness , you might like to bind your Junior pages into a
book. Each K. Y. B. C. member should have a notebook also, decorated as he or she chooses. You may put the letters “K. Y. B. C.” on it near the front. You will- want to have one page for the Club Year Verse and for the Club Song, which were in the January number. Of T he K ing ’ s B usiness . Write in your book the answers to any questions given, or “ Search the Bible” exercises, puzzles, etc, A verse of Scripture to be memorized is given for each week. You might keep a list of these verses in your notebook also. You will remember that, when all o f the verses given in John’s Gospel are memorized and recited to parents or Sunday-school teacher, something will be given in recog nition o f this, if you will write and tell the editor of this department; We can never finish studying God’s won derful Book, boys and girls. It is full of so many wonderful things. We do trust that you may love God’s Word more and more, and that you will desire to read and Study it daily. “Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy Word Was unto me the joy and rejoicing o f mine heart” (Jer. 15:16), Memory Verses for February John 15 :12-14
Search the Scriptures This is the month o f valentines. I know you have been choosing hearts of various kinds to sehd to your friends. God says much about hearts in His Word. Make a list of the different kinds of hearts men tioned in the following Scriptures: Jer. 17:9 Matt. 5 :8 Ezek. 11:19 Heb. 10:22 Ezek. 36:26 Psa. 51:10 Prov. 25:20 A Little Soldier I am a little soldier,
And soldiers have to mind; My mother is the captain, And she is always kind. Whene’er she gives an order, I just salute and say, “Aye, aye, I’m always ready My captain to obey.” She says that when I mind her, She never has to scold; And soldiers are expected To do as they are told. W e have fine times while playing A soldier every day; And when my tasks are ended, She sends me out to play.
