      Psalm XXIII

        The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.

        He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:

          he leadeth me beside the still waters.

        He restoreth my soul:

          he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness

          for his name's sake.

        Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,

        I will fear no evil: for thou art with me;

          thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

        Thou preparest a table before me in the presence

          of mine enemies;

          thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

        Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me

          all the days of my life: and I will dwell

          in the house of the Lord for ever.

      To the hand that held the tea-ball and the faces of two little maids

In that time many thousands have looked kindly on the little wanderer and welcomed it into their homes. Letters from everywhere have come in, saying in effect: It came to my door yesterday, and its voice has been sweet to me, and I am glad to have it stay with me. For all this I am most thankful. But it is hard to realize that the small circle of those who loved this story a few months ago has grown now to a multitude.

      Surely none of us ought to be surprised that our story has itself grown under all this kindness, after the manner of children. Indeed, as we are sending it forth newly clothed, I find that it is larger by half than when I last prepared it for
