Peter read, “ ‘He giveth snow like wool.’ ” “ Snow is one o f God’s gifts to earth. And what a beautiful gift it is! See how softly, the snowflakes fall—like bits of. fleecy wool. I f you could look at each one through a magnifying • glass you would see, a beautiful figure in the ¡shape of a six-pointed star.” “Why—that’s wonderful!” exclaimed Peter. The next verse to be found was Isaiah 1:18, and because Grandmother and Petter found il; at the same time, they read it together, “ ‘Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow.’ ” “ Peter,” said Grandmother as they finished reading, “I believe this verse w ill- lead you to that most precious treasure of all.” "What do you mean, Gram?” “I w ill tell you. To begin with, our verse has told us that our sins áre as scarlet. That means that they are like a certain shade of red which is almost impossible to remove from anything which it stains. Look at the snow. See how clean and pure it is! God wants your heart to be just like it. God knew that you could riot take sin and its stain out of your heart, so He sent His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, to do this for you. If you will accept Christ as your Saviour, He w ill wash your sin away and make your heart clean and pure like the snow. Would you like te have Him do this for you?” Peter looked out of the window, and he was very thoughtful as he said, “I ’d like to have my heart white like that snow.” Then he slipped from his stool, arid knelt beside Grandmother. When she explained to him how he could re ceive the Saviour, he asked'the Lord Jesus to come into his heart, ánd wash away all his sin. Of course, the Lord Jesus answered his prayer. Peter was so happy that he forgot about going to the ranch. He had found the great Treasure, the Lord Jesus Christ.—M.S.H. Something to Do “ Something to do, mamma, something to do!” Who has not heard the cry? Something to plan and something to try! Something to do when the sky is blue', And the sun is clear and high; Something to do on a rainy day, Tired of lessons or tired of play; Something to do in the morning walk, Better than merely to stroll and talk. For the fidgety feet, oh, something to do, For the mischievous fingers something too; For the busy thought in the little brain, F6r the longing love of the little heart,
Something easy, and nice, and plain; Something in which they can all take part; Something better than breakable toys, Something for girls, and something for boys! I know, I know, and I’ll tell you too, Something for all o f you now to do! —Frances Ridley Havergal. Why not make some snowflakes? You w ill need scissors and a square of white paper.
