Isn't it pleasant to think that in all those little things He is watching over you, and that you make Him glad when you do them well?
Do you know that one of God's commands is, 'Honour thy father and thy mother' ?" "No," said Kitty softly.
"It is; those are the very words; Edward can find them for you in the Bible; and honour means more than obey; it means, try to please them in the very smallest things." They were very near the corner where Mr.Holbrook must leave them.

He laid his hand gently on Tip's shoulder, as he said, "Speaking of Bible verses, Edward, I have one for you this evening, in the Saviour's own words: 'Whosoever shall confess Me before men, him will I also confess before My Father which is in heaven.' Good-night." Tip understood him, and there was a bright look in his eyes.

The two walked on in silence for a little.

Presently Kitty said, "I guess Mr.
Holbrook don't know just how mother is, or he wouldn't talk so." "Yes, but," said Tip quickly, "God knew all about it always, you know; and yet He said that verse." "So He did," answered Kitty gravely..
