44. The Boy who was Grateful.

Little Vernon's father had a tricycle, and one day he fixed up a seat in

front for his little boy, and took him for a nice, long ride.

Vernon sat facing his father, and he was so delighted with the ride, and

so grateful to his kind father for bringing him, that he could not help

putting his arms round his father's neck sometimes, and giving him a

kiss as they went along. Vernon's father told me this himself, and I

was glad to know that the little boy possessed this precious gift of

gratitude, for it is a lovely "stone" to have in the Temple we are

building.

(Blackboard.)

Do not forget to be Grateful for Kindness; and do not

forget to Show it.
