minated by a Boy.
 During a recent union revival in Little Rock, the Rev. Mir. Mulkittle gen erously offered his services and, one night while Mir. Mulkittle was " calling up mourners," Rev. Asa Bottleford ap preached young Mulkittle and said
 "My little man"
 "I ain't little man, am boy"
 "Well, my little boy"
 "I ain't your little boy
 "Well, it makes no difference whose little boy you are, but are you not afraid of the bad man2'
 "I am when it's dark, but when it's light amt"
 Exactly. Now let me tell you some thing, my dear little fellow. If you don't turn from the wickedness of the world, old Satan will catch you and take you down into dark hole where grelt fire is burning"
 "But if there's great fire in the hole how can it be dark in there? P
 "Oh, we'll, you know"
 Know wkat?"
 "Kuo tha, you are bound to die. Then what will become of you p'
 The little fellow, with that unaecount. able inspiration which often brightens a child's mind, replied: Jesus will take me an say to the bad man, you can'thave him for he is little boy You may take men that ain't good, but the little children belong to Me- That's what He will say"
 The Rev. Mir Bauletord was staggered for moment but ;he ..1e !eviyalist soon rallies.
 "That is all very we'll, my little fellow, but how do you know that you are one of the children to be selected"
 "B.cause know. Do you think you'll go to heaven T'
 !" hope so."
 "But do you think so ?"
 "Well, yes, do."
 "Whyi7 Because love the Lord" How do you know ?'
 "Oh, I feel that do."
 Well, love Jesus"
 Why do you love Him, my son 2"
 Because was born that way"
 "But we are all born in sin. Have you ever profe;sed religion have you ever knelt down at the altar and asked God to forgive your sins3 Do you be- long to the church 7"
 "No, don't belong to the church"
 "Then you are in danger. Did you go to the show the other day2"
 "Yes. sir. My Uncle Henry took me and saw the great big elephan
 "That was wrong. It was sin." t"Why2 Didn't God make the old elephant"
 "Yes"
 "Then why was it wrong to see him r

 The Rev. Mir. Bottleford accompa nied MT. Mulkittle home. The two gentle men, deep in the discussion of the affairs of the soul, paid no attention to the boy. When they reached Mir. MuikitIie's house, the two gentlemen went into the parlor and continued the discussion.
 "By the way, Brother Mulkistle," said Mir. Bo,tleford who, to some extent imi- ta,es Sam Jones, met tonight one of the toughest little sinners 1 have ever seen"
 "The town is full of th:m," Mir. Null kittle replied.
 "This one is especially tough," contin- ued Mir. Bottleford. e He is tiptoeing his way into hell. He had the gall to sass me, IS though he took me for a rank sucker"
 Did you learn his name5'
 "No, didn't ask him, for I saw tn at he did not belong to a very good family something on the order of poor white trash as they say in Georgia l begged him to come to the altar but he made fun of me. felt very much humiliated, for number of toughs and buns who sat near him began to titter."
 "Were none of his people present ?"
