Minnie came to my class a when she was six years old. Her parents were well to do, and lived in a pretty house in the country. She was brought to our Sunday school by one of the maidservants in the house, who was a bright Christian, and a teacher, in the school. Minnie begged to be allowed to accompany Annie to her class, and her parents, although worldly people, had a high esteem for their Christian maid and granted the child’s desire. She was most attentive scholar. She was a most attentive scholar. She could always repeat her Memory Text, and at our Annual Treat, she repeated the whole of the fifty-third chapter of Isaiah without a mistake, bore the whole school, and many of the parents. It was a fine sight to see thy little bright-faced girl go up for her prize. And, best of all, I believe Minnie believed on the Lord Jesus, and received Him (John 1:1212But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: (John 1:12)) as her own personal Saviour. She not only said so with her lips, but she showed it in her life.
On many a wintry day, the little figure clad in furs could be seen mounting the steps of the Children’s Hospital, having some little gift and message to the sick ones there. Minnie is a bright Christian.
