William. boy trained in the fear Of God,
was asked BY another Of his own age, to come
away from the comrades with whom he wss
playing, and he would tell him what be wan
ted With him. The boy suspccting that the
other had some evil design in hand, gave him
for answer: i viii so with you; but you
must take ne to some place where we may
be safe, and no one may see US. :" The other
then led him to the opening ola dark passage ;
but William said that was not safe enough.
They then retreated farther down the pas
sage; but still William repeated that the spot
was not what suited him. Proceeding stilI
farther, the two had reached a corner where
all was pitch dark, aud as lonely as could be
conceived here Williams Slapped. and said
to his companion Il cannot follow you any
laagor. unless you eau take me to some spot
rhere God Is not present, aud cannot see US !,
for we cannot be safe anywhere else Ills
