Little Folks' Fountain

IN ONE of the busiest streets in Glasgow, Scotland, there stands a pretty fountain which bears the name of “Little Folks’ Fountain.” It received this name because it was built by the pennies of a great many boys and girls in all parts of the world who wished to provide a free drink of pure Loch Katrine water to anybody and everybody in the great city.
On a hot summer day I saw a crowd of thirsty school boys quenching their thirst at the fountain. As I stood looking upon the fountain, its crowd of thirsty school boys, its free drinks for “whosoever will,” I thought of another fountain to which God invites all who thirst. “I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely"; again, “Whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.” (Rev. 21:66And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. (Revelation 21:6); Rev. 22:1717And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely. (Revelation 22:17).)
