lamp unto my feet By DR. SAMUEL H. SUTHERLAND, Pruident "Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and re shall receive, that your joy may be full." ·A little girl, who was only nine years old, became very sick, and when her father took her to the family physician, his order was that she be sent to the hospital immediately. When she was examined, a specialist who had been called in, stated that an operation was absolutely necessary to save her life. Her mother was sick at home, but her father, not a Christian, was present. The surgeon said to the brave little girl: "My dear, a light operation is necessary, and before I do that, I must put you to sleep." After the nurse had dressed her in a little white nightgown, the child said: "I am ready, but if I am going to sleep, I must first say my prayers." Then, she knelt down, clasped her tiny hands, and prayed: "O Jesus, you know where I am and that Mamma is sick at home. Bless my Daddy, my Sunday school teacher, this doctor, and everybody, for Jesus' sake. Amen." This was too much for the father. He excused himself, and going to an empty room, he knelt and surrendered his heart to the Lord Jesus Christ. The !!teat surgeon said: "I hadn't prayed for thirty years, but that night I went to my knees and begged for mercy." How important it is for us to train our children in the things of the Word of God, and show them by our own examples of faith, the power that is wrought through prayer in Jesus' name. PRAYER He who has charge of planets Is mindful still of me; Though I am weak and sinful, He heeds my faintest plea. Fr~m scenes of radiant splendor He notes one crimson drop Of my heart's lonely bleeding; The choiring angels stop And gaze, all lost in wonder, As He, the undefiled, Stoops low in love to succour His sinful, suffering child. -Martha Snell Nicholson ._~CLIP OUT .....
