A LITTLE boy who attended a Sunday School in Edinburgh said to his teacher one day, "Teacher, I wish my sister would read the Bible.”
"Why do you wish that, Johnnie," asked the teacher.
"Because sir, if she would only read God's Word, I think she would soon be saved; and next time there is a prayer meeting, you might ask prayer that my sister may begin to read the Bible," said the boy.
The teacher was much pleased with the boy's earnestness, and confidence in the power of prayer, and assured him that the case of his sister would be mentioned for prayer next prayer meeting night.
Prayer meeting night came, and the teacher gave out that a little boy present desired prayer that his sister might begin to read the Bible and be saved.
Johnnie rose after his sister had been prayed for, and left the room. His teacher observed it and wondered what it meant. Next day, when Johnnie came to school, the teacher spoke to him about it.
"Please sir," said the boy, "I did not mean to give offense, but I felt such a desire to see my sister reading the Bible for the first time, that I could not sit any longer.
Dear boy! he believed that God was the answerer of prayer. Dear young believer, do you? "Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving" (Col. 4:22Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving; (Colossians 4:2).)
