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. 21:6; Rev. 22:17.)
