No. 9.
A NUMBER of years ago, some Sunday-school children with their parents were spending a few hours together out in the woods.
While running and playing about, one of the boys, whose name was Fred, lost his watch. As soon as he discovered the loss, different ones began to look for the missing watch. They looked carefully through the grass where they had been playing, but no watch was to be seen.
One girl asked the Lord to direct her to the right spot and then went away a little distance from the others to a part in which they had not played. Fred, however, had once run around this way and it was the very place where he had dropped the watch.
So the girl who asked God to help her, soon saw the watch lying in the grass, and with a glad heart, thanking the Lord for answering her prayer, returned it to Fred.
