DON'T SAY "NO" EASY.

"How is it you never go with bad boys, or get into any scrapes?" asked a little fellow of his playmate.
"Oh!" said the other, "that is because I don't say 'no' easy."
We thank the boy for his secret. It is worth a great deal more than a bag of money. I have no doubt, saying "no" as if you did not mean it, has ruined many a boy and girl. When any one tries to coax you to do a wrong thing, say "no" as if you meant "NO," and nothing but "no," and no mistake.
When Satan whispers for you to serve him and do wrong, and makes you great promises, as he did to the Lord Jesus in the wilderness, do not say "no" easy, but answer him as Jesus did, "Get thee behind me, Satan." That is a "no" he can understand.
