Child's Question, and Its Sequel

 
A friend of mine told me that his little son was in one of the big shops a short time ago, with his nurse, who was making some purchases, when he went up to an old lady whom he had, of course, never seen in his life before, and, looking up into her face, said, “Do you love Jesus? I do; and I’m going up with mammy and daddy and nurse, and so will you if you love Jesus.” Then he went back to his nurse, leaving the lady looking very much surprised. Strange to say, a few days afterward the nurse was traveling in an underground train, when an elderly lady came up to her and said, “Aren’t you the nurse who was with a curly-headed little boy in the shop the other day, who asked me if I loved Jesus?” “Yes,” answered the nurse. “Well,” said the lady, “I couldn’t say Yes to the little boy’s question then, but I can now; and it is all through him that I can now say I do love Jesus and hope to ‘go up’ when He comes.” — E.G.
