This can be used any day in the winter. If there is a large fall of snow on the ground, it can be used at that time with good effect. Cut out a number of small stars and pin them on a background and say: "Once upon a time there was a little boy who had just discovered that every snowflake was like a little star in shape and exclaimed to his Mother as he watched them fall, 'Oh, Mother, it's snowing stars.' Yes, he was right; if every flake could be examined under a large magnifying-glass we would find each flake to be a tiny star. Some people never tire looking at the beautiful flakes falling down over street and field. How wonderful to watch God snow stars. The snowflake is a six-pointed star. That is the shape of the Bible star. Ancient history tells us that on the shield of David there was a six-pointed star. It was called the star of David. It is so called by the Jews at the present time. How beautiful it is to have a White Christmas. The wonderful snow covering the ground with spotless white. How much more wonderful it is to remember that each snowflake is a six-pointed star covering the ground with the stars of David, reminding us that there is born this day, in the City of David, a Saviour, who is Christ the Lord." =Franklin's Birthday. January 17= The selected Scripture for that day could be Solomon's description of the man of thrift as found described in Proverbs 6:6-11. Secure a boy's kite, and tell the part it played where Franklin brought down the lightning from the sky to serve man. We also bring down prayer power from above, for by Prayer we bring down God's power to serve us. =McKinley's Birthday. January 29= Read Matthew 5:1-12 wherein Jesus describes the well-balanced man. President McKinley was a man thus put together. Secure a picture of him if possible, and comment on the main features of his life. Like Lincoln and Garfield, he gave his life for the right and God. We may not be called upon to surrender our life as did President McKinley for the cause of humanity, but we can do what God likes just as much--we can _live_ for him and his cause. =Ground-Hog Day. February 2= Tell the old story of how this little animal is believed by some to tell certain things about the weather, so they watch to see him peep out of his little hole in the ground. Pin up some pictures of an animal on a background and tell a few short stories about them. =Missionary Day. February=
