HELPING PAPA.
It seems cruel to laugh at childish obedience, but sometimes the temptation is almost irresistible. What else shall we do in a case like the following ? A minister’s wife was starting out for a walk, and invited her little daughter to go with her. ’No, mamma, I can’t,’ was the very positive reply. ‘Why not?’ * I have to help papa. ’ * Help papa ! In what way ?’ * Why, be told me to sit here in this corner and keep quiet while he wrote his sermon, and I don’t believe he is half done yet."
