MARIE was a dear little girl of four years.
One day she was sitting on her Grandmother’s lap, listening intently to the description of the big bird, called the “eagle”, that builds its nest among the rocks way up in the tops of high mountains.
“It is so big,” her Grandmother said, “that it can carry away in its claws small animals, such as rabbits and squirrels. These it takes to its nest for the little ones to eat. And it has been known even to carry away a little lamb”!
Opening her big eyes very wide, little Marie exclaimed:
“But it couldn’t carry away one of Jesus’ little lambs, for He says, ‘Neither shall any man pluck them out of My hand!’”
How true this is! The Lord Jesus says: “I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because Thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes.” Matt. 11:25.
