"He Carries Them Up Hill."
The other day the children were learning the twenty-third Psalm, and we were talking together about the Good Shepherd, and how He takes care of the sheep and the little lambs, and impetuous Mamy, eager to speak her one thought, said rapidly:
"He feeds them and drives away the lions and bears."
"Yes," said Tiny thoughtfully, "and He carries them up the hill."
"He carries them up the hill."
The words went to my heart with a strength and sweetness the little speakers had not dreamed of. Often, often since, their music has thrilled through my tired soul like an echo of the angel's song.
