LITTLE Lillie was not four years old, and did not know the danger she was in.
Roaming by the side of a pit she saw some wild flowers growing on the edge. While gathering them she fell over. The door was fetched, and found poor little Lillie unconscious, but still grasping the flowers in her tiny hand. The doctor took her in his carriage to the hospital, where, I am sorry to say, she died the next day.
We would have liked to warn this little girl if we had seen her in such danger. With this true incident, let me warn you, dear little reader, of a still greater danger you are in. The Bible tells us that we have ah gone astray, we have turned every one to his own way, just like sheep. Now sheep need a shepherd, for they are in danger of wandering, and being lost. And you need a Savior to save you, as well as a shepherd to guide you. How blessed to know that Jesus says, “I am the good Shepherd,” and that He came to save that which was lost. He said also, “I am the way.” Without Jesus you are in the greatest danger for your soul. Be warned in time, ask Jesus to lead you in the way everlasting, and He will do so.
