Dot's Corner.

MY DEAR LITTLE FRIENDS: — How the months slip round; I hardly seem to have done with one letter before Mr. Editor says, “Waiting for your Corner, Dot, please.” But I must tell you that as we have to print a great many thousands we have to go to press early, so that when you are reading the March Number I am getting ready for April, and that’s why I like to get your letters early. I do think the papers on “Gideon and the Pitchers” are the best I have had from you, which shows you have been reading and searching and thinking over the Scriptures. Your endeavors have gladdened me very much, and as I think every post brings me letters from different parts of the kingdom, and I always open them as soon as I can, you see I have Dot for breakfast, Dot for dinner, and Dot for tea and supper too; and as “Dot junior” gets the envelopes, I think he will begin to learn D O T before A B C. How I am chatting away — but then this is our Chit-chat Corner you know, and once a month is not very often. It was quite a difficulty this time to say which was best, so many so very good, and especially between Mary Johnstone and Charlie Lavender and Willie Branford — but I thought after reading them over a great many times that Mary Johnstone brought most Scripture proofs together about the subject. So I have decided in Mary’s favor.
