A voice Jesus there was heard also a voice. All three of the synoptists report the same, with the "hear ye him." As much as to say, ye have heard Moses and the prophets, their dispensations have. passed, now has come the new dispensation, that of the Christ, who is the inaugurator of the new era of the kingdom of God.

Patty Spells "Peculiar" "I have such a peculiar feeling!" sighed Patty in a somewhat peculiar tone. That was queer, for you see she was tucked snugly in bed, as she always was at night, and had nothing to do but to sleep. If. she had been scrambling along the foot rail, or balancing on the bedposts, it would have been different. There cannot be Sny ching peculiar about just being in bed. The room was very still. Only the Street Lamp peeped in at the window, to see if Patty were not asleep yet. And nothing moved--except-- I thought I heard a sound, didn't you? Goodness! Something was scrambl- | ing along the foot rail, and more | | Somethings were balancing on the bedposts. Such queer sorts of Some- | | things! No wonder that Patty felt peculiar! | "What is it?" cried Patty, andl pulled up the covers, all ready to hide her head. The Somethings kept right on scrambling and balancing, and paid no attention to Patty. "They--they aren't mice?" Patty asked the Street Lamp. The Street Lamp was much amused. He threw a strong light over the Somethings, so that Patty might see for herself. "Not mice," said Patty. "But they're so little--and stiff --Why, I do believe they're Letters!" The Letters. stopped' scrambling along the foot rail. You see, they had come to the middle of it. And they arranged themselves in a row. That is, seven of them did. Two more . were shoving each other and quarreling, so that there was a Tow with a hole in it. No, it was not a doughnut straightened out, as per- haps you might think, for it looked like this: PE ULIAR "What are you?" cried Patty. "We used to be a word," the seven Letters said sternly. "And now look at us!" "You look," said Patty, "you look sort of--peculiar." . "Only 'sort of'!" cried the seven Letters indignantly. "And it's all your fault, Miss Patty." "Mine?" cried Patty. She saw now that the other two Letters were a C and a Q. Both wanted to get into the space left in the row. And each was trying to keep the other out. "I wish you wouldnt quarrel," said Patty. "There's plenty of room for both of you." As she spoke, the two Letters crowded together into the space, just as close as they could stand, so that the row looked like this: PECQULIAR "Much you know about it!" shouted the geven Letters, "We're a word of eight Letters, not nine. And we were always happy till to-day." "What happened to-day?" asked. "The teacher told you to spell us," said the seven Letters, = "And you spelled us wrong." Patty felt dreadfully ashamed. She turned so red that even the "Street Lamp noticed it. : "1 didn't do it on purpose," Patty she seven Letters. "You left out C, who's always been in the family. And you let in this fellow Q in his place." "But isn't that right?" asked Patty. With that, Q pushed C backward off the foot rail and settled himself in the space. The seven Letters wriggled and twisted to get away from the in- truder with the little curly foot, until the row looked like this: P L E ? U The next minute C came climbing back. He caught Q by his beautiful curly foot and pulled him out of the row. "Oh, 1 wish you wouldn't quarrel!" aid Patty. "Everybody seems to pre- r C, so, if Q would stay out, per- haps--" As she spoke, the seven Letters straightened themselves, with C in the space. And the row looked like this: PECULIAR "How do we look now?" cried the eight Letters. "Not any particular way," Patty. "Just--peculiar." "Right!" said the eight Letters, with satisfaction. "But what about me?" cried Q. "Can't I be in Peculiar any more?" "I'm afraid not," said Patty. "But they'd love to have you in Queer." "How do they spell it?" asked Q. , "You come first," Patty told him,' "with a U and two E's and an R." Sure enough, more Letters came scrambling up the bedposts. Q ran to join them as they settled upon the foot rail. So now the row looked like this: PECULIAR QUEER "You're different," Patty said thoughtfully. "Yet some way you seem alike." "How peculiar!" said the eight Let- ters. "How queer!" said the five Letters. "Don't mix ws up again," said all the Letters together. "Now mind, Patty!" «I shall mind my C's and Q's," said Patty. said ee ferns A Knitting Song.
