Dottie's Prayer.

 
DOTTIE is a fair-haired little creature of four, with very large, ever wide-open blue eyes. Not long ago, her mother being very ill, she was taken to her grandmother’s, to be out of the way.
Her grandmother, who is a Christian tried to teach Dottie to pray. One evening, after the little thing had said her short prayer and was put to bed, just before her blue eyes closed for the night, she said in her small, child’s voice, “Grandmother, I prayed for Jesus to be in my mother’s house tonight.”
Dottie’s mother recovered, and that Jesus was in her mother’s house that night no one has the least right to doubt.
How blessed for every house in our little village―for every house everywhere―to have Jesus in it! F. B―r.
