A Christian mother had just tucked her little boy in bed and kissed him good-night. She lingered awhile at his bedside to tell him a Bible story. Harry was a good obedient boy but that day he had done something that grieved his mother. He had told her he was sorry and had asked her forgiveness. As she stooped down for the last kiss he asked, “Is it all settled, Mother?”
“Yes, Harry,” she replied; “it’s all settled with me; but have you settled it all with Jesus?”
“Yes, Mother," said little Harry. “I told him I was sorry. He has saved me and I know He has forgiven me,” and his little face lighted up with a sweet smile that showed the joy of the gospel in his heart so often hidden from the wise and prudent but often revealed to babes.
