Robert was a very proud and silly schoolboy. He boasted about his fine home, and his father’s wonderful car. He boasted about his nice clothes, and his fine and noble relations. One day he had been, as itsual, telling the other lads about his rich and titled uncles and grandfathers. With a very important air, he turned to a quiet schoolboy who was standing by and said:
“Are there any ‘lords’ in your family?”
“Yes,” said the little fellow. “There is one at least, for I have often heard mother speak about the Lord Jests Christ. He is ‘the Lord’ in our family.”
Happy boy! Blessed are they who have the one Lord” in their family, and who know Him as their own Saviour and Friend.
