Then the angels sat down to talk
over all that had happened, and what
they should do. Should they try
longer to find angels? Or must they
give up their task? They decided to
have another try. A short distance
away they saw a number of children
standing, looking over into an or-
chard. The angels went to them,
hoping to find some who were per-
fectly white, but after having etam-
ined their hands and lips they could
not find one who had not spots of
some sort. One would not say pray-
ers; another refused to obey his par-
ents, and some loved to tease thelr
sisters so that they could not learn
the lessons without terrible hin-
drances. All the hands and all the
lips were discolored. There were no
perfect ones to be found, every one
had a spot either large or small. So
they determined to go back to thelr
home without more trying. They
said, ‘good-bye, little children, we
will go and tell the King and see
what He will say.”
Immediately they flew hack to
heaven and told the King that they
could not find even one sweet little
white angel to bring back witn them
to heaven. The King sald that He
was sorry, very, very sorry, and
promised that He would Himself go
down to earth and become a little
child, that they might see how easy
it is to be good when they wish to be,
to please their brothers and sisters
where. Then bye and bye the angels
will come and take all the children
up to the King's home, away in the
land of glory. “How lovely that will
be,” every child will say. Then we
shall see the blessed Saviour and the
angels, too, and be happy for ever
and ever. 1 wish you all a happy
Christmas, dear children.

One bright morning group
angels, white and fair, were seated
beneath a spacious trce planning how
they should spend the day They
suggested a great many things

the reply. What could ve more de-

to
Was a very long one, because there
were 80 many other worlds to ass,
but they flew along as quickly as .hey
could.
While flying along they talked
about their prospective visit, wonder-
ing if there were any angels there;
were they large or small; could they
sing; what color wings had they;
were they v hite and large like other
angels, and what did they do. As
they had never visited our world no
correct answer could be given, so
they went on chatting about what
might be seen. However, the jour-
ney was ended and they began in
real earnest to look for angels
Wherever they went the most
beautiful things you can think of
presented themselves to their view,
Extensive gardens planted with all
sorts of blooming flowers, roses,
Miles, honeysuckle, jasmine, tulips
and many others, the forests, too, ex-
tended beyond their view. So many
varieties of trees were grouped to-
gether that they were enchanted by
the sight, and exclaimed, “how bean-
tiful!” There were orange trees, fig,
apple and vine trees, which yielded
more fruit than could be eaten.
Some were tall and looked like tow-
ers; others spread out their branches
80 wide that the children could sit
beneath them, protected from the
hot, scorching sun. As they looked
around and saw so many beautiful
sights they exclaimed, “How lovely!
How glad we are that we came to see
this new world!” Although en-
chanted with its beauty, there were a
great many things which distressed
them. One was that of a boy who
had lost a limb in trying to steal a
ride behind a big wagon which went
80 fast that he could not get a secure
hold, so he fell right down and an-
other vehicle right behind injured his
leg very seriously, indeed. He prom-
ised that if he got well he would
never try such a thing again. An-
other boy was seen who had gone out
on a rainy day against his mother's
wish, and caught a bad cold. It be-
came 80 distressing that the doctor
thought he would not recover. Like
the other boy he said, “If I regain my
health I will not break the fifth com-
mandment again.” And his mother
sald, “John, 1 hope you will not.
Disobedience always pays in sorrow
and loss.”
The angels felt very anxious be-
cause they could not find what they
were searching for, white angels,
While they were standing together
singing was heard which sounded like
children's voices. But what ever do
you think it was? ‘Not children, as
you might suppose, but birds, which
sang so clearly that the singing could
be heard a long way off. And their
plumage was rich and gorgeous be-
yond description. “There's an
angel!’ one eried after flying a good
distance. What do you think It was?
Buch a disappointment. It was a
white swan gliding smoothly down
the river. Even this did not dampen
their courage to go on seeking for
snow-white angels. A sweet little
girl was walking along and one of
the angels said, “Are you an angol,
little girl?’ She replied by singing,
“I want to be an angel, and with the

What made those stains on
hands, sweet child?” They were
dreadfully stained. +he angels |
looked at one another thinking that
she had done something naughty to
have dark stains. The child |
confessed that she Jad purposely

who knew how kind He was to those
who did not love Him was surprised,
and learned from Him how to

example He taught boys and girls
that it was easler to be good than
naughty, and that they were not
He did. And He taught something
else. What do you think ft was?
That when they tried to be good they
always felt power come into them
which enabled them to practice just
what they wished to do.
But He did what no one else ever
did. He suffered every kind of abuse
and insult that men chose offer,
to
fous blood on the cruel cross, so that
every spot and every stain which had
her lips they saw stains caused by
saying cross word: when she was
angry. “O dear! © dear!” sighed
the angels. “What shall we do?’
We cannot find any white angels.”
They walked along until they
reached a large garden where a great
mahy chilldren were playing. There
was a little boy, seven years old, and
they asked him, “Are you an angel,
little boy?" Then he began to sing
very softly, “1 want to be an angel,
and with the angels stand.” “Look
at his hands,” sald one of the angels.
They are covered with black spots.
One was caused through taking his
brother's candy without his leave,
another through throwing a stone at
a schoolfellow, beca ise he laughed
at a mist:ke made in the lesson, and
one very large one was the result
might be washed away. Besides, He
cleanses the heart so that they think
good things and wish to do them, and
they pray every day "Create within
me a clean heart, O God,” because of
which they always avoid doling
things which will make them sorry.
They help their sisters to learn thelr
lessons and say kind words and do
kind things for their friends. Then
when they die Jesus sends His angels
to take them to His home in the sky.
Now, the angels are glad that they
came to see our world, and that the
Son of God came to save it from the
results of wrong-doing. 1 feel sure
that every child who reads this story
will wish to make every one as happy
as they oan, and to do as Jesus did,
