Coop CoAPANT.-It was a very dark
rainy night. Our boys pray
bad just closed, and Henry stopped to tell
me word of hope about one of onr class
tor "how we had long been praying. As
went to the door and looked out into the
darkness and rain, I said:
"Hsrry. am almost afraid to have you
60 so far this dark night. Is there no one
going your ways''
Lie looked up with bright smile aud
answered:
"o,l am TO have good company. 1
shall not be alone" "Theu your father or
yonr brother are in town are ,hey7"
mo. Better company than that"
"Who can il be !"
"Why, the one whom we met in PRAYER
meeting. The Saviour. You know ba
saya-(you read it to nigbt)-'I am with
you always"
$50, you think you will not be lonely
or afraid ?''
mo indeed. Christ is good company,
and tie has promised to take care of me
always. Good night"
As stood looking out in tie darkness
after Henry's departure, thought this is
not the 1rst time child's faith had re.
proved me. Henry is not afraid to GO any,
where, for Christ will go with him. why
should he feara Why should II He be-
|'e7es Christ is ever at his side, though un.
seen to his natural eye: Christ is real to
him-uuly present; and SO He will be to
al His children, as they walk through the
darkness of this world.
The mex, day meeting Harry, said
Did you have pleasan. walk last

eemed as if Christ was with me all the
way. He ia blessed company in the dark
