LITTLE Bessie was in bed Norre came in and found her lying wide awake.
“Ah! alone in the dark,” said Norre, “and not afraid at all, are you, Bessie, darling?”
“No, indeed,” said little Bessie, “for I am not all alone. God is here. I look out of the window and see the stars, and God seems to be looking down on me with His loving eyes.”
“To be sure,” said Norre, “but God up in the sky is a great way off.”
“No,” said Bessie, “God is here, too; and sometimes He seems to be clasping me in His arms, and then I feel so happy.”
