er of the house and sometimes when Conscience
would close the door to an unholy thought, we tell the servant to step
aside, and we admit the visitor. It is a shame! And the worst of it is
that Conscience, like an obedient servant, finally lets us have our
own way and then we have thrust out our best friend!

"Here is a boy who has lagged behind in his school work. A
nice-looking little thought comes along and says, 'Why not cheat just
a little? No one would know anything about it.' In a jiffy, Conscience
is on hand trying to shut the door. But the boy welcomes the thought
into his head. Conscience, made bold by the threatened disaster, tries
to show the lad that he can succeed more surely by remaining true and
honest, but the thought prevails, and before the boy knows it, the
door is opened to a multitude of other thoughts, and the ones which
came last are worse than the little one which entered first. When such
a boy is grown to young manhood he finds himself robbed of character,
robbed of honors, robbed of noble ambitions. He is a failure. No one
trusts him for he cannot trust himself. He is completely at the mercy
of his evil thoughts, and Conscience can no longer serve him.

"How gladly, then, should each one of you boys and girls welcome good
thoughts. Make Conscience your door-keeper. The same good thought will
come again and again, bringing other splendid, helpful, delightful
thoughts, and they will become the greater part of your life. Every
one of you has a thinker in his head. Be careful to keep it clean and
pure."

humble service that can be told to children and their elders. It is a
chapter from real life which may be copied in varied form by each one
of us. Its use is suggested for Children's day, but it is good for
many other occasions.

~~The Talk.~~

"This morning, while we are surrounded by these beautiful flowers, and
while our hearts are light as we think of all the beauty and
brightness that God has given us, I want to tell you the story of
Jennie Casseday and what she did to bring beauty and gladness into the
world. You may think that Jennie couldn't do very much, because she
was a poor little cripple girl. She lived at Loui
