“EVEN A CHILD IS KNOWN BY HIS DOINGS, WHETHER HIS WORK BE PURE AND WHETHER IT BE RIGHT.” Prov. 20:11.
THE girl in the picture must be very kind to the animals. How soon these dumb creatures know the one that loves them. This girl is no doubt on her way for the milk for breakfast. The calf and the geese run to her to say good-morning in their own way. The calf seems to be sure he’ll find a handful of nice fresh grass in the hand at her side. The geese are inquisitive to know if there are not some crumbs in the basket specially for them. I am sure this kind girl does not forget any of them and will greet each one in turn.
She is without a doubt kind and thoughtful of the dear mother she may have left behind in the quaint little cottage. Her countenance has an expression of contentment and happiness. We may learn from this girl a lesson of kindness to God’s creatures and whatever our circumstances, to be happy and contented. No matter what our circumstances the Lord can be everything to us if we so desire.
But anyone who is not the Lord’s does not know what real joy and happiness is. So let each one who reads decide now to whom he belongs. Are you on the Lord’s side or Satan’s? “Choose you this day whom ye will serve.” Joshua 24:15.
