A little girl named Alice owned two pretty kittens like the ones in our picture. She watched them every day getting bigger and bigger, and it seemed as though she loved them more and more. All the time she had to herself was spent in playing with her pets, and each morning and evening she shared her milk with them.
But one day when Alice was at school, a fierce dog got into the yard where her kittens were, and killed them. When the little girl found out they were dead, her grief was extreme, and she cried for days.
“Darling, I can tell you of One who will never die.” Alice listened eagerly while her mother told her of Jesus, and how by His death, He had put away the sins of those who trust Him, and that if she would receive Him as her Saviour, He would give her peace and joy, as well as tell her that all her sins were put away by His death. Then she would know Him who said,
Alice had often heard this before, but it had never impressed her as it did now. She felt how much she needed the One who says, “I am alive Forever more,” and there and then, on her mother’s lap, she believed on Him, and began to love the “One who will never die.”
