Do look at the kittens, how contented they seem! And do you know why John and Ethel had them up in their arms? Because nearby there was a little black and white dog who didn’t like pussies, and always wanted to bark and chase them away. But they don’t seem to worry now they are out of the puppy’s reach, and the one on John’s shoulder looks so safe and contented—I am sure he thinks his master can take good care of him. It reminds me of that verse,
Wouldn’t you like to be in such a safe place? That is where every one is who has his sins washed away in the precious blood of Christ, and how happy it makes him!
If any of you, our readers, have not yet come to the Saviour, who is waiting and longing to receive you just as you are, now is the time to do so. It makes Him so sad when you stay away for He says, “
If you do come to Him, you will be saved, and safe for all eternity, and He says,
Safe in the arms of Jesus,
Safe on His gentle breast!
There by His love o’ershaded,
Sweetly my soul shall rest.
