A LITTLE girl, on coming from the Sunday school, found a friend of her parents. As soon as Ellen entered the room, looking at the books which she held in her hand, he said, “Pray where have you been?"
I have been to the Sunday school," replied little Ellen, brightly; “and it is such a nice one." “To the Sunday school indeed," said the visitor; "and pray what do you go there for?”
“Do not you know?" said Ellen. "Why, to hear about Jesus."
“Do you want to hear about Jesus?" again he asked.
“Yes, indeed I do."
“Then pray tell me, who is Jesus?”
“Well," said the little girl, “I will tell you. He is from everlasting to everlasting."
The visitor did not ask anymore questions. He saw that a little child knew and understood things of which he himself was ignorant.
I trust that many of our young friends, like little Ellen, know something in their hearts who the Lord Jesus is, and that they see beauty in His name. His name is above every name, and to Him every knee shall bow, whether in this world or when it will be too late to find in Him a Friend. Little children, come to Jesus now, for the Word of God says, "Those that seek Me early shall find Me." (Pro. 8:1717I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me. (Proverbs 8:17).) B.
