What God Does with the Pennies.
“What queer notions children do get into their heads, "said a suburbanite last evening. “This morning my five-year-old girl attended Sunday school for the first time, and she came home full of the idea that she must take some pennies with her next Sunday. “ ‘No more pennies for candy, papa,’ she exclaimed; ‘they must all be saved for the Sunday school.’ M ‘And what do they do with the pennies at Sunday school?’ “ ‘Oh, they send them up to God. ’ “ ‘And what does God do with them ?’ “ ’Oh,’ she said, after a moment’s hesitation, ‘he throws them down again to see the little children scramble for thetn. That’s the way he has fun.’ ” Chicago Herald.
