YOUNGEST INFANT SLEEPS Benediction Sounds on Story Teller and Happy Lis tening Child. Books on theology and church his tory were used to build doll-houses ii; tlie pastor's study of the Metho dist Episcopal Church South yester day morning. It was the opening ol the church nursery. The mothers left their children with many admo nitions to "be a good boy, now, while mamma goes to hear the preacher man preach," and "Mabel, don't you dare to muss up your curls while I'm gone." The children stared at one another and at the girls in charge of them, hut repulsed all friendly overtures. Their faces grew more and more solemn. The girls had been told by each mother that "If my child cries, you must come for me at once. But Urn sure he won't." The girls, how ever, were not so sure. They were beginning to wonder if some or all of them wouldn't cry, singly or in concert, if something were not done immediately. The pastor's theological library solved the problem. The hooks were taken from the shelves, and the building of little doll houses began. The youngest baby in the room, perhaps six months old, watched with interest the attempts at architecture, then, just as the ser mon in the auditorium began he (too young to know any better) nodded peacefully off to sleep. The children soon grew acquainted over the novel building materials. and when this amusement grew mo notonous, were ready to listen to the Bible stories which one of the girls had prepared to tell them. It was almost time for the church service to close and not a mother had been sent for as yet. Could this record continue? The children talked and played on. In the audi torium the organ pealed out "Praise God." and as the congregation sang, the youngest baby awoke, smiled gleefully and stretched out his fat little hands for a dancing ray of the morning sunshine that was pour ing into the room.
