LITTLE STORIES FOR BEDTIME
Peter Promises to Hold His Tongue.
(Copyright. 1919, *7 T. W. Burgaaa.)
•Y THORNTON W. BURGESS.
Pater Rabbit stared at-roe* the
pond of Paddy the Beaver. Then he
rubbed hlx eye*. Once more he
stared end then again rubbed hi*
eyea. Then he turned to Paddy and
aald in a very low voice: “Do you
see any one out there by your
house?“
“I see Mr. and Mra. Quack, my
new neighbor*,” replied Jerry.
“Would you like me to introduce
you V*
Peter allowed a long *igh to e»-
eape. "No, thank you/’ aald he. “I
know them already. I Ju*t wanted
to make aure that there wa* nothing
wrong with my eyes. ’
Suddenly Peter kicked up hi*
heela In the funniest way and then
began a mad dance on the shore of
Paddy's pond. Paddy stopped eat
lng and watched Peter with a pus
zled look. When Peter Htopped for
breatli Paddy *poke. “Say, Peter,’*
he drawled, “are you taken this way
often? You act to me aa if you
wero a little light headed, a little
enu-y”
“I’m all right, Paddy,” replied
Peter. "I've found out a secret,
that’s all.”
Paddy locked puzzled. “Whose
secret?” he demanded.
"Your cousin’s; the secret of Jer
ry Muskrat,” returned Peter, “He
wouldn’t tell wnat had become of
Mr and Mr*. Quack and he knew
a I the time.”
“Os course he did. He aent them
up here,’ chuckled Paddy. “My
cousin Jerry ha* a wine head on his
shoulders, a very wine head. Thi* is
the only place where Mr. and Mrs.
Quack can be safe, and no one bir
Buster Bear and Jerry Muskrat and
you know that they are here i
think Hootey the Owl http suspb
cions, lor he has been hanging
around here the last few uights, but
he isn’t sure. Now, Peter, what we
want io know is, .ire you going to
nold tour tongue?“
“You mean keep it a secret?”
asked Peter
“Thai’s it. That’ll what we mean,'’
broke in .Mr, Quack, who hud come
n-ar enough to oterhear what Pad
dv hud been saying.
“You know all we ,iave suffered.”
b oko in Mix. Quack in an aimouh
voice. “If everybody knew we were
here we wouldn't have any peace ai
u.l. Please, Peter, promise to keep
oir secret, if you will I will tell
toil another secret.’’
“Os course yon won't mind if I tell
Mrs. Peter.” said Peter in a hesitat
ing sort of why. "AnJ then I here is
S'lUimy Jay. lie is very anxious to
know what has become of you, and
you reinenil>er stow he hvlpedj. you,
find Mr. Quack.’*
Mrs. Quack shook her head de
cidedly. "1 know all about tnut. and
we are sc grateful to Hammy Jay.
but unless he finds us himself we
would lather he shouldn't know. We
would raiher not have you even tell
Mrs. Peter.”
Peter's face fell. “I (Hi her every
thing.” said he.
Mr*. Quack smiled ’’TltHi is very
nice of you. Peter,” said she. ”1 like
io think that Mr. Quack tells m*
everything, but sometimes I’m no'
quite mre lhal be does.” Mr. Quack
tried io look hurt, but looked a little

World and .the Next.”— lea.
58:1-14.
By WILLIAM T. ELLIS.
The Lord's Day, lik** the Jewish
Sabbath, is a memorial day. It is
a reminder of divine thing*: 1‘
poinis above, like the church spires.
Taking man from the grind of six
days' labor, it tails him aside to
worship the HJa»n Christ and the
father who set apart one day as
an occasion to be remembered in
His honor.
“The Sabbath was made for
man.” declared Jesus —for the best
that is in man. and not for the
worst. They who wonid make the
Lord's Day men ly an occasion for
the indulgence of mans lower na
ture rather than for the cultivation
of his higher spiritual self, can get
little support from the example and
teaching of Jesus.
• * •
Much of the perplexity which
many persons feel over the observ
ance of the Lord's Day arises from
confounding It with the Jewish Sab
bath. or worse, with the Sabbath of
the Scotch and English Puritans.
The extra-legalists among the old
Jews read into the beneficent Sab
bath observance a matter of minute
regulations. These burdens, too
grievous to be borne, Jesua summar
ily threw aside. Therefore He was
regarded as a Sabbath-breaker; and
it is curious that whenever Jesus
appears in connection with the Sab
bath question, it is usually as a
violator of the existing laws. Ha
taught a liberal view of the day.
His conduct and words stressed the
truth that the letter kllleth. The
Sabbath was never meant to be a
burden to man; much less the
lord's Day which has succeeded It.
• • «
The lord's Day is to be kept in
the Lord's Way.
* • *
Probably Pentecost fell on the
firs* day of the week. Certainly the
Spirit-controlled church early came
to set aside this day as the lord’s
Day to be* kept hr sacredly as the
Sabbath had been kept by the
Jews.
e e e
One great hymn or poem commit
ted to memory each Sunday would
store the mind with priceless treas
ures, and tinge all of one’s ambi
tion*.
• e e
Like a mountain peak, the Sab
bath Is a place of outlook. It Is an
opportunity for enlarging the soul’e
horlson. The educational uses of
the day are enhanced by every
thought given to the distant realms
where Sabbath Is kept by brethren
of many colors, climes and condi
tions.
• • •

first day of the week should be as
nnlike as possible to the other days

of toil and labor. May we never
outgrow “Sunday clothes” and the
other Utile sign* which mark this
a day set- apart. A “Sunday treat”
for the children is the usage of
many families. Even the oft-de
bated “Sunday dinner,” which gath
er* the whole family about the
board foe a fe*tal meal, serves a
Sabbath office, as the old Jews rec
ognized. Reading should be dif
ferent, and music and exercise.
Whatever will signalise this a* a
day set apart for singular and sa
cred purposes is to be cultivated
assiduously.
• • *
That Sabbath is best kept on
which we gain new' thoughts about
God. As we grow in the knowledge
of the Lord we grow in grace.
* • •
The quiet and rest and solemnity
of Sunday should lift our hearts
nearer to heaven, and make more
real and close to us the endleas
Sabbath In the new home. This is
one of the good things that each
returning rest-day should bring ua
—a clearer understanding of, and
greater love for. the heavenly life
and the heavenly world.

A well-spenl Sunday Is one that
we have helped make profitable for
somebody else.

Our failing strength renew;
On weary brain and troubled breast.
Send Thou Thy freshening dew.”
