WHAT a nice, quiet time these girls are having in the woods. Do you know what they are doing? Have you ever woven a daisy chain? That is the way they are amusing themselves, after eating the good lunch, which they brought in the basket near them. I think they are sisters; for they look so much alike. They left the city early in the morning to spend a whole day in the woods, and they seem to be enjoying the beautiful things which God has given. Look at those fine old trees, which are shading them from the hot rays of the afternoon sun, while beyond these trees, light, fleecy clouds are floating by. Birds too are flying about, adding their songs of gladness, to make the summer day even more perfect.
If these girls love the Lord they will be thankful and praise Him for the blessings they are enjoying, and look forward to the time when there will be nothing to mar perfect rest and joy with Him. While here, summer changes to cold, bleak winter, sunshine to clouds and life to death. We can be sure of nothing here.
