SPIRIT OF THE AGE....Devo TED

"She means" said her mother, smiling
shat everything is SO beautiful, one ought
to be happy here"
Again came that sigh yelling mp from
the heart of the aged man, and he shook
his head sadly, holding out his arms to the
child.
sCome to me, and tell me how / may
love Jesus" he said.
"Wby, don't You love Him get 2" she
cried, looking from him to her mother.
'Is it so easy, then, my sweet childg"
"Why, its so easy you can't help it."
said the little one simply. "Mother says
she loves me dearly when Pm good, and
how can you help loving Jesus, who is good
all the time?"
"Do you think he loves me"
"Ol i know He does" replied the child
earnestly.
The eyes of the aged unbeliever filled
with tears, as he said, "Then surely, if He
loves me who have been always so migrate
ful towards Him., l ought to love Him.
Thank God I! l see it in a new light" he
murmured to himself. 20! madam, how
can / ever be thankful enough that / met
this angel? Surely, if l seek Him be will
be found"
In her own sweet way the mother of the
little Lilly unfolded the plan of salvation
to this hoary headed skeptic-removing
his impressions where they conficted with
the truth, and when she left him he had
humbled himselfin prayer, and promised
not to give up his search till he had found
the Saviour precious to his soul.
1t was perhaps a week after this CONVEX
sation that the mother of Lilly received
letter from the old gentleman, in which h
!, wrote glad tidings of great joy; how h
loved the Saviour.
"Ask my little angel" he added, "wha
she would most like to have me buy 70
her. 1t mnst be something very beautifu
and very costly. l am curious to kno'
