crying boy who was “precious in the sight of the Lord.” Breathing a little prayer, she crossed the narrow alleyway that separated them. “Good evening, young man!” greeted Miss Carlisle gaily. “May I sit down beside you ?” Now Toby was a shy little boy, and he felt more embarrassed than usual, for he didn’t» want any one to know that he had been crying, gut this lady looked so nice—and she was so friendly, and Toby was lonely. So he choked back his sobs, put two dirty fists to his eyes to wipe away the tears, and brought them away leaving more smudges than ever on his face. And then quietly and shyly he gave a little half-smile and made a place for her beside him; The puppy seemed as happy about it all as Miss Carlisle herself was, because he turned circles all over the place, falling over his short, stubby legs, and wag ging his tail joyously. Toby liked the nice lady right away because she smiled very sweetly and had a soft voice, almost like his own mother’s. Soon they were good friends, and Toby chatted merrily about his kite, his frog that got away, his turtle named “Sleepy,” and about his new sling shot, and, oh, so many things. And then, Toby, being a boy, was curious about something Miss Carlisle had been carrying. It was a strange- looking board"! with hinges on it, and she was taking out some colored card board pictures that looked like houses, trees, and people. Toby could scarcely suppress his joy. He was going to have a really, truly birthday, for the nice lady was going to tell him a story! Miss Carlisle opened up the board, and soon there was a sky—a beautiful blue sky—some grass, some water, and then a brown temple on the far corner of the board. Then she told him the wonderful story of Baby Moses and of how the wicked king would have taken his life but for the heavenly Father’s loving care and protection. Little Toby thought it was wonderful that God would love Baby Moses and take care of him. And then Miss Carlisle told him that God loved him the same as He loved Baby Moses. She told him how his heart was black because of sin (he admitted that sometimes he was naughty and disobeyed his “Mommy” and did things that he shouldn’t), but that God had sent His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, to die on the ,cross of Cal vary that Toby’s heart might be made white. Toby’s eyes brimmed with tears as he heard that the wonderful Lord Jesus had died on the cross for him, and he asked, “Oh, what can I do for Him ?” Miss Carlisle told him that the Lord Jesus was knocking at his heart’s door and if he would but open
it, Jesus could come in and be his Friend. And that is just what Toby did. He opened his heart’s door and asked the Lord Jesus to come in and be his Saviour—and of course the Lord Jesus did. Miss Carlisle was very happy, and she stayed to explain to Toby how he could pray to the heavenly Father every day. And now Miss Carlisle had to go home, but she promised Toby that she would return soon with other stories about the Lord Jesus. As she went on down the alleyway, Toby waved to her from the porch steps. Therg were the same smudges on his face, but he was a dif ferent Toby inside, for his heart was whiter than snow. And he was no longer crying, but he was, oh, so happy. He scarcely could wait for his “Mommy” to get home so that he could tell her about his “really, truly” birthday pres ent—about his new Friend, the Lord Jesus Christ who loved Baby Moses and who also loved and cared for- him.
