WAS WANDERING HOME FROM BIBLE SCHOOL, AND DAWDLING ON HIS WAY.

HE SCUFFED HIS SHOES INTO THE GRASS; HE FOUND A CATERPILLAR;

HE FOUND A FLUFFY MILKWEED POD AND BLEW AWAY THE "FILLER."

A BIRD’S NEST IN THE TREE O’ER HEAD, SO WISELY PLACED AND HIGH,

WAS JUST ANOTHER WONDER THAT CAUGHT HIS EAGER EYE.

A NEIGHBOR WATCHED HIS ZIG-ZAG COURSE AND HAILED HIM FROM HIS LAWN,

ASKED HIM WHERE HE HAD BEEN THAT DAY AND WHAT WAS GOING ON.

"OH, I’VE BEEN TO SABBATH SCHOOL" (HE CAREFULLY TURNED THE SOD,

AND FOUND A SNAIL BENEATH IT.) "I’VE LEARNED A LOT OF GOD."

"IT’S A FINE WAY, THE NEIGHBOR SAID, FOR A BOY TO SPEND HIS TIME.

IF YOU TELL ME WHERE GOD IS, I’LL GIVE YOU A BRAND NEW DIME."

QUICK AS A FLASH HIS ANSWER CAME, NOR WERE HIS ACCENTS FAINT,

"I’LL GIVE YOU A DOLLAR, MISTER, IF YOU’LL TELL ME WHERE GOD AIN’T."
