Bedtime Story for Children By THORNTON W. BURGESS WHAT DANNY MEADOW MOUSE DID T O GRANDFATHER FR<!>G, watch ing from the safety of the Smiling Pool, It seemed that Danny Meadow House hadn’t the least chance In the world. There he was on the bank of the Smiling Pool with water In front of him and Reddy Fox creeping up sight behind him. To try tQkj’un back would be to run right Into Reddy’s aMWth, There wasn’t a place for-Dan* ■y to hide. “I told Danny he was foolish to oome over here,” muttered Grandfa. Danny Meadow Mpuse swimming straight out^oward the middle as If he were quite as much at home in the water as his big cousin, Jerry-Musk rat himself. From the way he was headed It was quite clear that Danny intended to swim across the Smiling Pool to the other bank. ‘‘Chugarum!” exclaimed Grandfather Frog. “Chugarum! Bravo, Danny Meadow Mouse! Bravo!’ Danny made no reply. He was -too bttsy. He' con 1 dn*f wSSTe Tils""breath talking. Besides, he was afraid he would swallow some water and choke. So he kept right on swimming as hard as ever he could. The truth is, Danny was in a hurry to reach the other hank. While he wasn’t afraid of the water, he was afraid of certain folks who live In the water. He knew that Snapper, the great, big Snapping Tur- tlelllves in' the Shilling Pool, and that nothing would make him happier than a fat meadow mouse for his dinner. Then Danny couldn’t help but think of Billy Mink. If Billy Mink should hap pen along, well, Danny didn't like Jo I PAPA KNOWS-1 think of it. You see, Billy Mink Is also fond of fat meadow mice. So Danny swam with all his might for the other bank of the Smiling Pool. There were some little holes in that hank where he would feel quite safe. As for Reddy Fox, he looked both fool ish and angry. You see, Reddy had felt absolutely sure of that Meadow Mouse dinner. As It was he wouldn’t even get a frog dinner, for, at the warning of Redwing the Blackbird, all the young frogs along the edge of the Smiling Pool had dived for safety. ©. T. W. Burgess.—WNU Service.

Who Is the Heavenly Father (Gen. 1:1). He is the almighty God who created the universe (Fs. 90:2). He was be fore all things. God is the infinite and perfect Spirit In whom we live and move and have our being. He Is om nipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent He was not only before all things, but the cause of all things. II. What the Heavenly Father Does. 1. He created the universe (Gen. 1:1; cf. vv. 26, 27). The universe came Info being by the will and act of the personal Being called God Man him self Is a creation of God. 2. He has provided salvation for lost men (I John 4:9). He gave his only Son, that whosoever believeth in him might live through him (John 3:16). 3. He preserves us-(Ps. 103:1-14). The ^preserving mercy of God em braces the following gracious bene ficent acts: a. He forgives all our iniquities (v. 3). This he is able to do because of the righteous provision he made for sin, in the atonement wrought out by Jesus Christ. b. He heals all our diseases (v. 3). This healing refers to the body and the soul. He .first renovates - maji's moral nature and then his physical na ture. c. He redeems the life from destruc tion (v. 4). Redemption implies the payment of all demands against the debtor. d. He satisfies the mouth (v. 5). God satisfies all legitimate desires, so that youth is renewed like the eagte’s. In redemption man’s original capac ities are restored to their native vigor. : i OPSW \ J- ' m. f •i* & ... i *<|*»*» t * y.;; * H 4f I | , * I A NOVEL tea chop baa been set up In a stable op a farm situated near the Bols de Boulogne in Paria that la proving quite popular with (he. ladles, of the smart set A large pane of glass Is all that separates the tea drinkers, who seem to prefer the fresh milk to the tea, from the stables and If they wish they may try their hand at milking the cows. e. He executes righteousness and judgment (vv. 6-12). The wrongs of life are righted and man is thus re lieved of the burdens which they en tail f. He pities his children (vv. 13, 14). The pity of an earthly father is but a faint suggestion of the sympathetic compassion- of the heavenly Father 4. He chastens his children (Heb. 12:5-11). a. THe fact (vv. 5, 6). Every one •kho is God’s spiritual child experi ences chastening, an unmistakable evi dence of son^hip. b. How it should be received (vv. 6-81. ft Is the tukeirof tiis love (v. 6).’ •c. The purpose of (vv. 9-11). It Is to bring the child into subjection to induce reverence (v. 9). It is to pro duce hottness (v, 10). It ls to develop fruits of righteousness (v. 11). 5. He cares for his children (Matt 6:11, 25). The child of God who has come to know his heavenly Father as the almighty Creator and Preserver, whose very essential being is love, will trust the Father for daily bread with out anxiety or fear. III. The Heavenly F^fcer Revealed In Jeeus Christ (John 14:8, 9). The supreme purpose of the coming of the Son of God was to reveal God (John 1:8). Only a being of God's es sential nature could reveal him. Jesus Christ became man In order that be might- reveal God to man. Only the one who knows Jesus Christ knows God. J IV. How Men Come to Know God as the Father (John 3:3-6). It. Is through regeneration. The new birth is absolutely essential tb a knowledge of God as the Father. We are children of God by faith In Jesus Christ (Gal. 3^26). V. Our Responsibility to the Heav enly Father (Matt. 6:24-34). The true child who has come to know his Father—- 1. Will give him undivided affection (v. 24). The child of God makes the unequivocal choice between the heav enly Father and the world. 2. He will not be anxious about food and clothing, as stated above. 8. He will diligently seek the king dom of God and bis righteousness (w. 88, 34). He will subordinate temporal things to the things of the Spirit This la not a warning against legitimate forethought hot against anxious worry.
