THE BROKEN LEG.

1  

POOR boy! He has broken his leg, and is being carried into his miserable-looking home. In some of our cities there are children's hospitals, where they receive the kindest treatment when sick or injured. Books and toys and pictures make the hours pass less tediously, while kind nurses and friends do all they can to cheer the sufferers. There is a sweet story in rhyme about "Little Will," a boy who was very badly hurt in the street, and taken to the hospital, where he heard for the first time of Jesus, from a child who was in a bed near his, and about the happiness this good news brought to him.
