WHAT is it, do you think, that the girl in the picture is, holding in her chubby little hands? It is something that seems to be engrossing the attention of the three little folks. Look at the faces of the little boys! They seem to be full of expectation and pleasure. Do you guess what it is that is so absorbing these little children? There is a fine nest made out of an old basket; in it is a hen, and on its edge is perched a little chick; all about it are broken shells showing the prison houses out of which the little chicks have come. Our picture shows the little chicks coming into life. Did you ever think, dear children, what a wonderful thing life is? God gives life to all His creatures.
“In Him we live, and move, and have our being.” Acts 17:28.
But interesting and important as this life we now live is, there is another life that is of vastly greater importance.
If I were to ask you what this life is, I think most of you would quickly answer. “It is eternal life.”
God has given to you, my young reader, the natural life. Have you the eternal life? If not, would you not like to have it? Do you ask, How may I obtain eternal life? God’s Word gives the answer,
“He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life.” John 3:36.
