LITTLE GEORGE and his younger sister Janie were playing in the dining room. Just then Mother brought in a plate full of muffins and after putting them on the table he went out again.
“How good they look!” exclaimed George, and he reached to take one. But Janie drew back his hand. Mother doesn’t want us to touch them,” she warned.
“She didn’t count them,” said George.
“But perhaps God did,” returned Janie.
So the little fellow withdrew from the temptation, and sitting down he seemed to be in deep thought.
“You are right, Janie,” he said with a cheerful yet serious air. “God does count, for the Bible says, The very hairs of our head are all numbered.”
