Helen was kind-hearted and very observant, so she considered it necessary to become a little missionary. She took a walk on Thanksgiving morning, and in her innocence she wrought good in the lives of several people, soothing their troubles and causing hate to vanish at her disarming little smile and the request, "Please be fwiends. 'cause it's Fanksgiving." Men may grow harsh and women hardened, but the power of a little child is very great, and "the messenger of gladness" returned to her home and a splendid Thanksgiving dinner, a missionary for good in truth.
