JESUS ALWAYS.

A little girl went with her mother,
a woman in lowly circumstances, as
she had occasion to call on a wealthy
lady in a neighboring city. The lady
felt quite an interes in the child, anu
look her all over the house to show her
all the beauties and wonders of her
comfortable home Much surprised at
all she saw, the little thing exclaimed :
Why, how beau ifui | am sure
Jesus must love to come here, it is SO
pleasant. Doesn't he come here very
often ? He comes to our house, and we
have no carpet home. o, how Jesus
mus; love to come here.
The hostess made no reply, aud her
visitor asked again. doesn't Jesus
come here very often?" Then, with
much emotion, the lady replied: " am
afraid not That was too much for the
child; she FASTENED to her mother and
begged to be taken home, for she was
afraid to stay in house where Jesus did
not come. That night the lady related
to her husband the whole circumstance,
and the question of the child went to the
hearts OF both husband and wife, and
it was not long before Jesus was made
a guest III their home.
