Some little ones were spending their first night in the great city of Nanking. The house was large and strange, and partly unoccupied. They were put to sleep in a big room, with trunks and bundles all around, and it was very dark.
Through a thin partition I could hear their conversation before they fell asleep. After a time in an awed voice the little lad of six asked,
“What about the lions?”
In a tone of perfect assurance and confidence, his sister, (two years younger,) replied,
“What about GOD?”
It was unanswerable.
I could not but think how many questions raised by our adversary the devil, —that roaring lion,—would be unanswerably settled forever by the same question, “WHAT ABOUT GOD?”
How terribly sad that most children of China have never heard of the True GOD, and so cannot trust or love Him. They do not know that GOD IS LOVE.
Do you know Him, dear children?
