A little deaf and dumb boy at an examination at an institution in London a few years ago, on being asked, "Who made the world?" immediately wrote-
"In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth."
He was asked in a similar manner, "Why did Jesus come into the world?" and again the little boy, with a bright smile indicating delight and gratitude, wrote-
"This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners."
A third question was then asked, evidently adapted 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 peace which settled upon his countenance as he took up the chalk and wrote-
"Even so, Father, for so it seemed good in Thy sight."
Submission to the will
Of Him who guides me still,
Is surety of His love revealed;
My soul shall rise above
This world in which we move;
I conquer only where I yield.
Not what I wish to be,
Nor where I wish to go,
For who am I that I should choose my way?
The Lord shall choose for me,
'Tis better far I know;
So let Him bid me go, or stay.
