While speaking to some of the little girls in her class one day, a teacher in a Sunday school asked them what two words the Lord Jesus said to Philip.
“Follow me,” was the prompt response.
“Then,” said she, “these two words also apply to you, if Jesus has called you. What is your answer?”
“I mean to follow Him some day,” said one.
“I should like to follow Him,” another said.
But one little girl did not make any reply to the question, though she was very attentive and thoughtful: and so the class separated. The next Sunday the silent little girl put a note into her teacher’s hand which read as follows:
“I came to Jesus this afternoon and now my answer to your question is, ‘I will arise and follow my own dear Saviour.’”
