A little deaf and dumb boy, at an examination in London a few years ago, was asked: "Who made the world?"
Immediately he wrote: "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth." Gen. 1:1.
He was asked in a similar manner: "Why did Jesus come into the world?"
Again, the little boy, with a bright smile which indicated delight and gratitude, wrote: "This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners." 1 Tim. 1:15.
A third question was then propounded. It was evidently meant to call the most powerful feelings into exercise: "Why were you born deaf and dumb, while I can hear and speak?"
"Never," said an eyewitness, "shall I forget the resignation upon that little lad's countenance as he took up the chalk and wrote: 'Even so, Father; for so it seemed good in Thy sight.' " Matt. 11:26.
"For yet a little while, and He that shall come will come, and will not tarry."
Hebrews 10:37
"Prepare to meet thy God."
Amos 4:12
