. A 'LITTLE BOY'S PRAYER.
A
. MISSIONARY lady had a little
Hindoo orphan named Shadi liv-
her. She had taught him
about Jesus, apd_ one night when he
six _y_ears . old. him:
''Now, pray a prayer of your
own." And what do you think Shadi's
prayer was? It . was a good pray.er
f9r child to make, for it was .
this: "Dear Jesus, make me likewhat
you we_re when six years oJd."-Sel.
WHISTl.E OR WHINE.
T
wo little boys were 'ori their way
.to school. The smaller one tum-
bled and began to whine.
The older boy took his hand in a
fatherly way and said: "Oh, never.
mind, Jimmy, don't whine; it is a
great deal better to whistle.'' . And
he began a cheerful whistle.
Jimmie tried to join. 'I can't whis-
tle as nice as you, Charlie," said he;
my lips won't pucker up good."
"That's because you haven't got all
the whine out yet," said Charlie; ''but
you try a minute an:d the whistle will
drive the whine away."
So he did, and the last I saw or
heard of the little they
whistling away as earnestly as though
that were the chief end of life. -Sel.
