"I did not know there was any thing in the Bible about feet," said she. "Is there any thing about hands?"
"Yes, indeed. Don't you remember the story of the man with the withered hand that he could not use? Jesus must have pitied him because he had but one well hand, or he would not have healed him. In a few days I hope I shall be strong enough to have you come and read to me, and I will make a list of verses for you. For I want you to see that though your hands and feet and eyes and ears and tongue now seem small things, such as God would be likely to overlook, He has made them to do great things and useful and kind ones."
CHAPTER VII.
Susy and Robbie were standing at the window a few days after this, watching some boys who were playing in the snow.
"I wish we could go out and throw snow at each other," said Susy. "Can we, Nursey?"
"No, not to-day," said nurse; "for your hands would freeze for want of mittens. I am hurrying as fast as I can, to get some done but I don't know; time flies in this house."
"Where does it fly to?" asked Robbie.
Before nurse had time to answer, the children were sent for by their mamma. They jumped down from the window, and ran to see what was wanted.
"Grandmamma has sent a basket full of things, and I thought you would like to take them out for me," said their mamma.
