CAN you tell me what the two girls in this picture are talking about? I think I know. While out to do a little marketing, Nellie has called at the farm house to see a friend of hers, and is now saying, "Why do you not come to Sunday School, Louie?"
Louie looks very solemn, with her head bent low. She has never been to school, and does not much like the idea of going, but I hope her friend will persuade her, even if it is only to go for once, and I think she will succeed. If Louie does not care to go alone she will not mind if Nellie goes with her, and how happy Nellie will be if she helps her friend to go to school, and helps her also to learn the way to heaven. Oh, that such may be the case!
Has my reader ever known the joy of seeking to help others on in the right way? If not, let me ask you to try now; you can do like Nellie, invite your young friends to go to school with you. They will then hear of Jesus, of His great love to poor sinners, and how He wants us to dwell with Himself in that beautiful place He has gone to prepare.
