AN interesting young Christian girl was confined for several years to a sickbed. She was generally left by herself all night. On one occasion, about midnight, she was lying awake on her bed. The rest of the family were asleep in their own rooms. She saw the door of her room open, and a robber came in. He stopped a moment on entering. Her little lamp was shining on them both from the stand by her bedside. He looked at the young girl, and was surprised to find her awake and yet perfectly calm. She uttered no cry or scream; but as the robber stood there looking at her, she simply raised her hand, with her finger pointing toward heaven, and said, "Man, do you know that God is looking at you?"
The man stood still for a moment, and then, without speaking a word, quietly turned round and went out of the house.
God was the shield of that sick girl, and how safe she was under His protection.
