ABOUT four or five weeks ago I was waiting on a railway platform, and saw a train come in on the other side. After it had waited a few minutes, the guard blew his whistle, and it began to move off. Just then I heard such a loud and pitiful cry, "Mother, mother, oh, mother!" which seemed to come from a little girl.
The train was stopped, and I ran round to see what was the matter. It appeared that a little girl and her mother and baby were going by the train. The mother and baby had just got in, but before the girl had time to follow, the train started, and she was left behind. I felt very sorry for the little girl, because it would have been very sad for her to be left in the station all by herself, but you see when she cried out the train was stopped, and she quickly jumped in and took a seat by her mother's side.
As I walked away I could not help thinking of the time when Jesus will come and take away all those who are ready and leave the rest behind. Let me ask you, my little friend, Would you be taken or left if Jesus were to come now
