THE LADY who called at the preacher’s house was in great distress. Her husband had met with an accident, and she had no money. “What can I do? No one will help me!” she wailed.
Willie, the small son of the Christian man, was playing with his train in a corner of the room. They did not know he was listening, but he looked up and said, “I will help you.”
“What can you do?” she sobbed.
“I can pray for you,” he answered.
The lady never forgot the faith of the little boy, and the lesson he taught her when she was in trouble.
The Lord attends when children pray;
A whisper He can hear.
He knows not only what they say,
But what they wish or fear.
