"Mamma," said little Annie, "won't you please give me two apples to-day for my lunch? I want to give one to Jane Woods." "Certainly, my dear. But why do you want to give one to Jane?" "Because, mamma dear, she stole one out of my basket yesterday, and I want her not to be tempted to do this again. For our teacher says, that if we are sincere in praying, 'Lead us not into temptation,' we should not only keep out of the way of evil ourselves, but should try to keep others from being tempted; and so I think if I give Jane an apple, she will not want to steal any more." The apple was given; and at recess time Jane came to Annie looking very sorrowful and said:— "Annie, won't you please take this apple back again? I suppose its mine now, as you gave it to me; and I want to pay you back for the one I stole the other day." Jane never stole again. Annie's kindness saved her; her thoughts were thoughts of peace and love. And we see how she was helping the blessed Saviour to bring "peace on earth" by the peaceful, loving thoughts that she cherished in her heart. The first way in which we may promote "peace on earth" is by having peaceful thoughts.—Sel.
