HE was only a tiny mite of three or four, and had daringly climbed up a large stack of wood in a farmyard.
While climbing upwards he did not think how he was to get down again. Indeed, he did not once stop to think, until his companion called out,
“Mind, Bertie, you will fall.”
Bertie looked down, and got very much frightened for a moment. Then he raised his head, put up his little hands, and said in a pretty childish way,
“God help this boy.”
After he had uttered his little prayer, he seemed to gain a calm courage; and so, instead of falling, he climbed down in perfect safety.
Bertie’s father and mother were true believers in the Lord Jesus Christ, and had taught their little children to love God, and to trust in Him, at all times.
