Neddie, my boy, can you tell papa something you have to be thankful for ?" "Oh, yes, papa! eyes to see with, ears to hear with, hands and feet, and that I can use them all; for I saw a boy the other day that can't walk at all, though he has feet, but must lie on a bed or sit in a chair all the time; while I can walk, and run, and jump whenever I want to." "Yes, those are all great blessings," his father said.

"And now, Elsie, can you think of some others ?" "Oh, so many, papa! more than I can count," the little girl answered earnestly.

"A dear, kind father and mother, and grandma among them; and, oh, so many dear relations besides; 'specially my sisters and brothers.
And I am so glad I was born in this Christian land and taught about God and the dear Saviour; and have a Bible to read, and know that I may pray to God, and that he will hear me and help me to be good--to love and serve him.

But, oh! I can't name all my blessings, papa, they are so very, very many." "That is very true, daughter," he replied; "and we can all say the same; our blessings are more than we can count.

But the best of all is the gift of God's dear son.
