Willie Knepper was a remarkable child,
none knew him but TO love him, and with
his amiable disposition and warm heart,
he won many friends, both old and young.
His good nature. his polite and s~prightly
conduct made him a great fayorite with
all who knew him.
He was a religious child, loved the Sab.

was his custom TO pray at home and always
when he entered his Sunday School class.
Dear reader think, a boy only five years
old to be so mindful as not to neglect OF
forget prayers.
He was a great admirer Of flowers and
attributed all beautiful and good things to
God. On a certain morning, when he dis
covered that during the night some beau
tiful flowers had opened, his heart was SO
full of Joy and gratitude, that in the pres
ence of his mother, he kneeled and thanked
God for his goodness. He had implicit
faith and trust in God and had no fears Of
death, but shortly before he died he called
his father, mother and friends to his bed
side and calmly bid them farewell, saying,
Don't cry"
The real christian spirit and character
manifested by this lovely little boy Shows
the absurdity Of the false and prevalent
notion of many, that little children are 10
capable Of exercising christian faith and
works. All children can and ought to bt
good and pious as we believe Willie was.
