danced in tiny ripples on the stream; overhead a jay disturbed the silence with his saucy chatter. "What a beautiful world,” sighed the little girl. “I never dreamed camp would be like this. I’m so glad I came.” Then she murmured to herself, “A little prin cess with God—I wonder if I could be? I am going to try.’/ Jesus Loves Me Sonny had his first birthday party on his fifth birthday, What a wonderful birthday party it was! There was a beautiful birthday cake with five gay candles, and there were many gifts. Sonny’s friends were there, too, to help him celebrate this important fifth birthday. They all played games and had a very happy time together. But the par,ty finally had to come to an end, and after the birthday candles were blown out and the cake and other re freshments had been enjoyed, Sonny’s friends said good-bye and went home. That evening after the presents were all put away and Sonny was tucked away in his little bed for the night, his mother heard a call, “Mortimey." It was Sonny’s voice, and his mother was soon by his bed and bending over, asking, “What is it, Sonny?” “Do you know why I’m so happy, Mommey?” Sonny said. And before his mother could answer that perhaps the reason was that it was his birthday and he had received so many fine pres ents, Sonny answered his own question in this way: “I’m happy, Mommey, be cause Jesus loves me.” Sonny, though only five, had already accepted the Lord Jesus as his own Saviour, and for this reason he had had two birthdays. His first birthday was the day that he was bom into the fam ily of his mother and father, while his second birthday was the day that he became a member of God’s family by accepting the Lord Jesus as his Saviour. Though very young, Sonny has learned that the Lord Jesus, God’s “unspeak able gift,” is better than all the birth day gifts one could ever receive. Have you, dear boys and girls, re ceived the Lord Jesus as your Saviour? And, like Sonny, can you say, “I’m happy because Jesus loves me” ? —M. S. H. Memory Work What are the .wages of sin and the gift of God? Romans 6:23: “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God*is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” Who has everlasting life? John 5:24: “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and be- lieveth on him that sent me, hath ever lasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.” By whom must we be saved?
happy smile. “Why," I will,” she said. "Thank you, Miss Anderson, for telling me. And thank you, God,” she added, "for Your Gift. And now, read me the verse again about my new name.” Miss Anderson began: “ ‘To him that overcometh------’ ” “What does that mean?” asked Pris cilla Sue. “That means getting victory over things, dear. Do you want to hear the story of a man who was an overcomer and who received a new name?” Then she told her of Jacob, with whom the angel wrestled all night, and to whom God gave the new name Israel, saying that as a prince Jacob had power with God and had prevailed. "Israel means a ‘prince with God,’ Priscilla Sue.” “Do you think I might get a new name that meant a ‘princess with God’,?” the little girl asked eagerly. “I would love to be a princess.” ■ "Perhaps you might,” smiled Miss Anderson. "But, whatever your name is, it will be lovely because God gives it.” They talked together a long time. Miss Anderson told her the story of Saul of Tarsus, who one day came face to face with Jesus Christ on the road to Damascus, and received a Saviour, and a new1name—Paul. “And what does Paul mean?” asked Priscilla Sue. >■ “ Small,” replied. Miss Anderson. “And a very appropriate name it is, for a man needs to become small before he can be great in God’s sight. Now we’d better .be going, Priscilla Sue. Recrea tion time is over, and you need to rest before dinner. Do you feel better?” “I feel wonderful!” •* * * It was recreation time the following day. As Miss Anderson came from her tent and walked toward the ball ground, a bevy of girls closed.in about her. "Prissy did it,” they, screamed. "We have to hand it to Prissy'; she never played ball before today, and she scored a home run. Three cheers for Prissy!” Miss Anderson said, "That’s fine. I’m proud of you, Priscilla Sue. But, girls, don’t call her Prissy. She doesn’t like it.” "Never mind,” said Priscilla Sue. "It’s all right.” She slipped her hand into Miss Anderson’s and Walked with her down toward the stream. “It’s funny,” she said. “Yesterday, it mattered so much, and today it doesn’t matter at all. About my name, I mean. Prissy sounds nice and chummy now that I am thinking about my new name. I am learning that what people say can’t hurt you—it’s only what we think about it that hurts.” "You’ve come a long way since yes terday,” said Miss Anderson. The little girl looked up wistfully. “Is that overcoming?” she asked. “That’s overcoming, Priscilla Sue. That’s being a little princess with God.” The branches of a great tree above them rustled in the breeze; the sunlight
