Little Lucene Spencer has attended
Sabbath school once or twice and is
naturally mixed up in her ideas of
what she has learned but she in
formed her parents that che had
learned the Golden Text, refusing
however to say il for them. The
other day she was a bad little girl
and her mother sent her up stairs
where she wept and begged to come
down as there was company at the
house and Lucene is fond of company.
Her mother was firm and Lucene
finally wept herself into calmness
The people were somewhat startled
to hear fearful little voice repeating
"Suffer the little children to come
unto me" This WAS dou btless the
Golden Text" which she mad spoken
of, but her quoting 1t was certainly
very timely.
