“Best” Books For Parents and Teachers of the Young

There is the story o f a lady who dreamed that she went to church and as the people were going away she saw some one standing at the door holding a plate for the gifts o f the people. It looked like an ordinary plate, but it had the power of chang­ ing each gift into its real value in God’s sight. A gentleman put in a ten-dollar gold piece, which at once turned into brass, because the man had given it in order to be thought well of by others. A lady put in a quarter, which turned quickly into a penny. She could give more, and she gave' only because others gave. A little girl came up, dropped in a penny, which turned into a flower. She had given just to please her teacher. Then a very poor little girl came along and put a penny on the plate. Instantly it was changed into gold. The child had denied her­ self to give the money, because she loved the Lord Jesus Christ. This made it well pleasing to God.

Here lies Tidman’s missionary hen, Her contributions four pounds, ten; Although she is dead the work goes on, As she has left seven daughters and a son To carry on the work that she begun. So be it.

Long ago, there lived a man called Tidman in the village nearby. He longed to do' something for the London Missionary ¿Society; He had not much money to give, but he thought he would try to earn some. He kept some fowls, and decided that one o f his hens should belong to the Society, and that all the eggs she laid should be sold and the money given. Before she died the .money amounted to 4 pounds, 10 shillings—about $23. But that was not alh|i The hen sat on eight o f her eggs until they were hatched. These, too, belonged to the Society, and in time have: .brought'in a large amount'of money. When the hen died, the old man had her body embalmed, and buried it in the garden and erected a little monument. He thought many- more people would r,ead the inscription and that those who read it might be inclined to try to do something similar, so that the hen would still be helping the London Missionary Society.

“Once,” says Dr. F. B. Meyer, “ I dropped in on a washer­ woman who had just hung out a line o f clothes. I congratu­ lated my friend because they looked so white. So, very much encouraged by her pastor’s kind words, she asked him to take a cup,of tea, dfld we sat down. .While we ,w,ere.takipg the tea the sky cloudecj, and there was a snowstorm, and as I came out the white snow lay everywhere, and I said to h er: ‘Your washing does not look quite so clean, as it did.’ ‘Ah,’ she said, ‘the wash­ ing is right-enough, but what can stand against God Almighty’s whiteness ?’ ”
