A LITTLE girl, called Jane, got to know that “forgiveness of sins” was for every one that believeth. She believed on God. She loved Jesus, and was quite a different child from what she used to be. She was a Christian at home, in the school, and when playing amongst her school fellows.
One day Jane said to her mother, “Mother. I am quite sure that Emma loves the Lord Jesus.” “How do you know that, my child?” said her mother. “Why, mother, because she plays just like a Christian. I’m sure she loves Jesus.”
It was true. Emma loved Jesus; and the boy or girl who truly loves Jesus, and knows the forgiveness of sins—of their sins—will be like Jesus on Lord’s day, and during the week, too; will seek to please Jesus at home, in the school, and also when engaged in play.—Selected.
