LITTLE EDITH says, “I am the guilty sinner Jesus came to save.” How good it is in the early days to know Jesus as one’s personal Saviour. Not only does little Edith know this, but she is looking for the Lord Jesus to come.
Recently she went into one of the stores in a large city where they keep all kinds of toys, and told them the size of her doll, and after measuring, ordered a hat for “Naomi” (as she called her doll) which was 50 cents, then a parasol for 25 cents, and a basket for 15 cents for her to carry on her arm. After selecting them, she told the clerk who waited on her, to put them away, and when she saved the money, she would come for them. The saleswoman said,
“You may never save enough,”
“If the Lord don’t come, I will.” Replied Edith.
“What do you mean by the Lord coming?” asked the saleslady, Edith was surprised and said,
“Don’t you know the Lord is coming?” She went home and told her mother, and said,
“You must give me some tracts to take up there, for they don’t know the Lord is coming.”
It is not only blessed to know these things, but to bear testimony to them, as little Edith did, and spread the good news around. We trust she will be kept faithful, and that all our little readers, who know the Lord Jesus as their Saviour, will be ready to confess their Lord, and tell others “the Lord is coming.”
“The coming of the Lord draweth nigh.” James 5:8.
