Miss Mary’s class had met on Sunday morning. Ethel’s brown face seemed very thoughtful. “I want to tell you something,” she said after awhile. “Yesterday I was out walking. I saw six little children. They were very thin. I wish we could help them in some way.” The class was very still. They were thinking hard. “I know!” cried one of the girls. “Let’s parch peanuts and sell them. Then we can buy milk for these children.” Each day the class met. They parched peanuts and took them to be sold. They bought good rich milk with their money. “Those children need fruit.” Ethel said one day after one of her classes. “We learned today that everyone should have fruit.” “But it takes all our peanut money to buy milk,” said one of the girls. “Maybe the other boys and girls at Browning Home would like to help,” suggested Miss Mary. “Put a milk bottle in the lunch room. They can put in their extra pennies, nickels and dimes.” “Let’s call it the Peanut Cow,” suggested Ethel. Eagerly they watched the Peanut Cow. It grew fuller and fuller. How happy they were! Now they could buy both fruit and milk. Verse to Remember: “We are God’s fellow-workers.” I Corinthians 3:9. Published quarterly in sets of 13 at 4 cents per set per quarter.
