"He prayeth best who loveth best,
All things both great and small,"--
is illustrated in the story of Little Bell.
Write a composition on the story from the following hints: Where did
Little Bell go? In what season of the year? At what time of day? How old
was she? How did she look? What companions did she meet? What did the
three friends do? How did the little girl close the day?
In your composition, use as many words and phrases of the poem as you
can.

Memorize:
Prayer is the dew of faith,
Its raindrop, night and day,
That guards its vital power from death
When cherished hopes decay,
And keeps it mid this changeful scene,
A bright, perennial evergreen.
Good works, of faith the fruit,
Should ripen year by year,
Of health and soundness at the root
And evidence sincere.
Dear Savior, grant thy blessing free
And make our faith no barren tree.
_Lydia H. Sigourney._
