THE CHILDREN'S MITE
At a Sussex village recently the harvest thanksgiving service was being held, and the children of the Sunday School were asked to take gifts of flowers, vegetables and fruit, which latter would go to the hospital where the children of the village are taken when they are ill. ' "
In the class of smallest children were four-year-old girl twins, and in a bas: ket of fruit came their gift to the hospital in the form of a large red sav-ings-box. The little folks had insisted that that was what they wanted to give. When it was opened it was found to contain their lives' savings of 414 farthings—B/7s. They had cast in all the mites they had.
