the most children? It is Mrs. Sun, who lives in the sky. Just think of the many, many Sun, beams that come down, every day, to warm and light the earth; thoy aro her children. Mothor Sun

has sometimes a great deal of trouble with hor large family; but they also give hor much hap-| pinoas; especially when she soos how busily they work for her.

Her greatest joy comes in the evening when she calls all her little Sunbeam children to bed, Then they come, one after the other, some tirod, some quite frosh and gay and they tell the day's happenings, Inngh and enjoy one another.
