we try together to show Him that we do?” Mary’s blue eyes smiled up at him happily. Then some of the troubled look came back into her face, as she said, “ But Muvver said she had heard about God. Do you suppose she knows that Jesus is alive?” Mary’s father turned his head away from the anxious look in the little girl’s eyes. She could not understand why he held her so tightly without speaking for several moments before he was able to smile at her and an swer quietly, “We must talk to her about Him, mustn’t we, Mary?” This is how it happened that be fore a month had passed, there were three in that mountain cabin at Gold Rock who loved the wonderful Sav iour. A little child had carried the “ good news.” END.

July Memory Work A Bible verse for each letter in the word “ July” is our memory work for this month. “J esus saith . . . I am the way, the truth and the life” (John 14:6). “ U nto thee, O God, do we give thanks, unto thee do we give thanks: for that thy name is near thy wondrous works declare” (Psalm 75:1). “L et no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example “ Y e are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid” (Matt. 5:14).
