IT was a cold water's afternoon, and the icy streets were very slippery, when my two little friends, Fanny and Willie, were wending their
way home from school. Poor Fanny found it hard to keep on her feet, and many a time nearly pulled her little brother down as she held his hand. At last, Wille said,
"Fanny! why don't you do as I do? I say, `Please, God, help Willie from slipping' and I don't slip."
Children! this is true and my once little friends are big ones now, and I dare say, sometimes, find slippery paths of a different kind. Do you know what I mean? Look at this verse in the Bible,
That was David speaking to God, and he was not a little child afraid of slipping on ice; but afraid of slipping away from doing what was pleasing in God's sight. That is what I mean about slippery paths of a different kind when you are grown up.
God loves to have little children put their trust in Him. He likes for you to ask Him to help you at school, or in any difficulty you may be in. But best of all, He loves to have you put your trust in Jesus—His beloved Son——as your Saviour and then you can never, never slip out of His hand,
