started for the door, but Bud called to him. Jimmy went in, and was surprised to see that Bud’s eyes were full of tears. “I’m sorry for the way I treated you, Jimmy; honest I am,” Bud said in a choked voice. Jimmy was so embarrassed that all he could say was, “Aw, forget it, Bud.” Then Bud looked straight at Jimmy and said, “Will you please take me to church with you next Sunday, Jimmy? I want to meet this Jesus that makes a fellow be so kind.” Of course, Jimmy promised he would. Then he hurried back to his wagon, whistling gaily. He could not remember when he had felt so happy. That night he prayed: “Dear God, thank You for keeping me from getting even with Bud. If it had been me alone, I would have shoved him right in the mud puddle, but You were there, and made me be kind to him. Now he’s going to Sunday-school with me next Sunday, and we can be real pals.” They were pals, too—the very best of pals, because Bud soon learned to love the Lord Jesus, too, and that makes the very best kind of friendship, doesn’t it?
"Why, of course,” answered Jimmy. “Don’t you?” “Naw!” yelled Bud, laughing loudly again. “But why?” questioned J i m m y . “Don’t you believe in the Bible?” . “Haw! haw!” screamed Bud. “Haw, haw!” With this he gave Jimmy another shove, this time knocking him back wards. Jimmy’s head hit with a hard thump bn the ice, and he sat there blinking very fast to keep back the tears, while Bud skated away. * * * * * That had all happened in the winter. Now it was spring; the trees were turn ing green, the birds were singing, and flowers were budding. The snow was almost all gone, and the ioe on the pond much too thin for skating. One afternoon, Jimmy took his wagon to the grocery store on an errand for his mother. He was on his way home, whistling cheerfully as he neared a clump of bushes, when suddenly some one jumped out from behind them. Be fore Jimmy knew what was happening, his wagon had been pushed over, and the groceries were scattered all over the muddy ground. It was Bud again. Jimmy grew angry and was going to hit him. Then he re membered that the Lord .would want him to control his temper, so he began to pick up the groceries. Bud started to run away, but he caught his foot in a loose board, and fell. He tried to jump to his feet, but his left ankle pained him very sharply, and he couldn’t stand on it. Jimmy soon saw what had happened. He remembered the way Bud had treated him at the skating pond when he hadn’t known how to skate, and couldn’t stand on his feet. Now, Bud couldn’t stand up—his ankle wouldn’t hold him. This was Jimmy’s chance for revenge! There was a big mud puddle near, and if Jimmy gave Bud a little shove, it would land him right in the middle of it. Jimmy remembered the bad lump on his head last winter, and started toward Bud. Then, Jimmy’s last Sunday-school lesson came to his mind, and he recalled how the Bible said, “Be ye kind one to another, tender-hearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.” “Don’t hit me!” Bud cried as Jimmy came near. “I’m not going to hit you, Bud—I’m going to take you home,” explained Jimmy. And that is just what Jimmy did. He put Bud in the wagon and wheeled him right to his own front door. Bud’s mother put him to bed and called the doctor, for his ankle was swollen very badly now; then she thanked Jimmy for his kindness to Bud. Jimmy grinned, said good-bye, and
