Having heard of an invalid who was patching a quilt and desired pretty pieces outlined in colors for it, the Society decided to work a few for her; five of these are already finished. Up in Essex County, deep in among the Adirondacks, lives a lovely Scotch lady who has interested herself in the children of that region. These little ones have absolutely nothing in the line of reading, and by a unanimous vote of the Society, it was decided to send them some nice books and Sunday-School papers, thereby forming the nucleus of a sort of circulating library, of which the Scotch lady will be the head. We hope, sometime in the near future, to open correspondence with the children themselves, and if possible, to start a branch of the P. S. in Essex County. The members of our Junior Society show great interest in the work of subduing their faults, and many have been the conquests over self. Of course we all often forget, but frequently the knowledge--and acknowledgment--of our shortcomings, has but added fresh earnestness to the desire not to be overcome. At a recent meeting we decided to have a motto, and the one chosen was, "For we are laborers together with God." With this watchword, and with the help of Him who is our Captain, we intend to go on--and up. E. M. CLARKE, _Sec._ "THE CHILDREN OF WESTMINSTER ABBEY." HOW many of the Pansies know what Westminster Abbey is? Of course a large number of you little folks are not yet acquainted with it. I don't know a pleasanter way for people of your age to learn about it, than to read the book bearing the title which I have given above. Listen to what it says about the building, "That Abbey is the record of the growth of our two great nations. Within its walls we are on common ground. America is represented just as much as England. All English and American boys and girls should love Westminster Abbey." There are pictures of the wonderful and beautiful building scattered through the book; thirty-two illustrations, in a book of two hundred and ninety-four pages. It is almost like visiting the building itself, to read about it in this book written by Rose Kingsley. It is a beautifully bound volume, my copy being in brown and gold. Usual price one dollar. To members of the P. S. sixty cents. In ordering from D. Lothrop & Co., you must not omit to say that you are entitled to the book at the reduced price because you are an enrolled member of the P. S. With this introduction, I am going to let the story speak for itself, by giving you a page or two from it, together with the picture of "The Cradle Tomb." [Illustration: "THE CRADLE TOMB."]
