The Saviour had just taken Home a little fellow in his tender years. A workman came into the room and asked to look at the lovely face of the child.
“You wonder that I care so much,” he said to the sorrowing parents, “but your boy was a messenger of God to me. One day I was coming down a long ladder from a very high roof, and when I reached the ground, I found your little boy close beside me. He looked up into my face with childish wonder, and asked frankly, ‘Weren’t you afraid of falling when you were up so high?’
“Before I had time to answer, he said, ‘Oh, I know why you weren’t afraid—you had prayed this morning before you began your work.’
“I had not prayed; but I have done so since, because I discovered that I was a poor guilty sinner and therefore needed a Saviour. I found Christ after that.”
These few words from this dear little boy had awakened that man to a sense of his need.
