I Want to Be a Sinner

Listen from:
THELMA, age 4, had just returned from Sunday school when she amazed her aunt by asking: “Auntie, am I a sinner?”
“Why, no,” said auntie. “I guess —I hope not!”
“Well, I want to be a sinner,” said Thelma soberly.
“O, no you don’t,” said auntie.
“Yes, I do,” insisted the little girl, “Cause the preacher said, Jesus died to save sinners, an’ I doesn’t want to be lost!”
