GONE TO BE WITH JESUS A little girl whose baby brother had fust died, asked her mother where baby had gone. "To be with Jesus,” replied the mother. A few days fater, talking to a friend, the mother said, "I’m so grieved to have lost my baby.” The little girl heard her say this and, remembering what her mother had told her, looked up into her face and said, "Mamma dear, is a thing lost when you know where it is?” “No, of course not.” “Well, then,” she answered, “how can baby be lost when he has gone to be with Jesus?”
