ONE day, a party sailed down the harbor in a boat. The weather was fine when they started. In the afternoon a black cloud arose, the thunder rolled and the lightning flashed, occasioning great alarm among the ladies. One lady was more frightened than the rest; her little daughter nestled towards her; taking her hand and looking up into her mother’s face with a look of pity and surprise, said “Mother, God is in the thunder; can’t we trust Him when He speaks loud as well as when He speaks easy?” “Yes, my child,” replied the rebuked mother, with a tear in her eye. “And pray Mary, that I may have the perfect trust of a little child.”
How precious was little Mary’s faith!
ST. LOUIS, MO., NOVEMBER 19th, 1899.
Our dear little Friends:—
We shall be very glad to have letters from you asking questions about Scripture, and shall endeavor to answer them through this paper or privately, if preferred. And will be pleased to hear if you have found the Lord Jesus as your own Saviour. J. T. A., 4431 Garfield Ave., St. Louis.
Repeat the verse in large letters every day this week and recite next Lord’s day.
