WE have a picture here of what takes place every month in a great many homes. Especially with those who live in quiet places far from the busy towns. Here the monthly packet is looked forward to and welcomed by old and young. The children's magazines are at once claimed by the young ones, while older ones take up those that contain more advanced reading.
Yes it is very nice to have our monthly papers, each to take one up for himself and herself. And we can thank God that so many are scattered through the country, for as there are so many books that are issued and doing much harm to boys and girls, we need books of pure and true reading for all our young readers who are willing to enjoy them instead of the bad ones. Perhaps, too, some dear child is able to buy two magazines every month, and then give a copy away to those who cannot even get one.
May God bless all such acts of self-sacrifice, done for the good of others and for His glory!
