The Moral fjf^gHt
"On a fourth of July," began the Sunday school teacher, "a
small boy made a powder mine and tried to fire it with a piece
of fuse. When it failed to explode the boy crawled up to see
what was the matter. Just as he got there the mine went off
and burnt the boy's fingers and singed his hair and eyebrows.
Now I want you to tell me what great lesson this story teaches."
• "I know," replied the only attentive boy in the class. "It
teaches us that the unexpected always ' happens." . • -
