A gleeful, hearty peal of laughter came from Teddy, and was heard in the adjoining room by his grandmother with comfort. She called Mrs. John. 'Hear that, now! Why, he's getting quite himself again; it does him good to have a child to talk to. She must come again.' A GLEEFUL HEARTY PEAL OF LAUGHTER CAME FROM TEDDY AND WAS HEARD IN THE ADJOINING ROOM BY HIS GRANDMOTHER WITH COMFORT SHE CALLED MISSUS JOHN HEAR THAT NOW WHY HE'S GETTING HIMSELF QUITE WELL AGAIN IT DOES HIM GOOD TO HAVE A CHILD TO TALK TO SHE MUST COME AGAIN
e--well, she smiled, and said God was making me stronger every day. I didn't feel I was better a bit.' 'Would you like to have died and gone to heaven?' 'Yes,' Teddy answered promptly, 'of course I should. Wouldn't you?' Nancy shook her head. 'I might if I was quite sure the angel would carry me safely all the way without dropping me, or leaving me in the clouds before we got there; but I think I like to live here best. Besides, I don't think I'm good enough to go to heaven yet.' 'I don't think it's being good gets us to heaven. Jesus died to let us, you know, like the hymn says,-- "Jesus loves me! He who died Heaven's gate to open wide; He will wash away my sin, Let His little child come in." Have you asked Him to forgive you, Nancy?' Nancy nodded. 'Yes, when you was so ill. I felt I had been so wicked that God was punishing me.' Here, reverting to more earthly topics, Nancy held up the cat arrayed in her sailor hat and jacket. 'Look, this is Jack Tar! Doesn't she make a jolly sailor?
