"Anyhow, there'll be plenty of jam in heaven, that's one comfort," he said complacently

Anne nipped a smile in the bud

"Perhaps there willif ant it," she said, "But what makes you think so?"

"Why, it's in the catechis like THAT in the catechism, Davy"

"But I tell you there is," persisted Davy "It was in that question Marilla taught me last Sunday 'Why should we love God?' It says, 'Because He makes preserves, and redee jaet a drink of water," said Anne hastily When she came back it cost her some time and trouble to explain to Davy that a certain coreat deal of difference in the ood to be true," he said at last, with a sigh of disappointed conviction "And besides, I didn't see when He'd find time to make jam if it's one endless Sabbath day, as the hyo to heaven Won't there ever be any Saturdays in heaven, Anne?"

"Yes, Saturdays, and every other kind of beautiful days And every day in heaven will be more beautiful than the one before it, Davy," assured Anne, as rather glad that Marilla was not by to be shocked

Chester Sloane is interested in those things, 'cause they're going to rande and he can't have it unless he is ato have in a fah he'd rather be a blacksmithbut he's bound to have all the fun he can before he begins to be a minister, 'cause he doesn't expect to haveto be a storekeeper, like Mr Blair, and keep heaps of candy and bananas But I'd rather like going to your kind of a heaven if they'd let an instead of a harp Do you s'pose they would?"
