ONE day a little boy between three and four years old, who was visiting at the home of his aunt, said to his cousin,
“Emily, sing me Will you be there and I?’ ”
After she had finished, he said,
“Won’t it be nice for us three to be there”? meaning a young man sitting in
the room, his cousin, and himself.
“I know little Arthur will be there,” replied his cousin.
He turned to her and said,
“Will you be there, Emily?”
“Yes, dear, because I’m sheltered beneath the blood of Christ.”
He then turned to the young man and asked,
“Mr.___, will you be there?” but received no answer.
Dear children, if you were asked the question “Will you be there?” could you say, “Yes,” like this little boy and his cousin? or would you rather not give an answer at all?
