THERE were two little sisters at the house whom nobody could see without loving, for they Were always so happy together. They had the same books and the same playthings, but never a quarrel sprang up between them—no cross words, no pouts, no slaps, no running away in a pet.”
“YOU never seem to quarrel,” said I to them one day; “how is it you are always so happy together?”
They looked up, and the elder answered: “O, you know, Addie lets me, and I let Addie.”
I thought a moment. “Ah! that is it,” I said; “she lets you, and you let her; that’s it!”
Yes, that is it. The Bible says, “Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God” (Eph. 5:2121Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God. (Ephesians 5:21)); and His grace can enable even high-spirited boys and girls to do so. Don’t forgets the two LETS.
