Somebody Forgets

= Some time ago we. read of a little
boy living in the most poverty-strick-
en- section of great city who had
been induced to attend church and
Sunday school. For one whose relig-
lous training had been utterly neglect
ed he made astonishing progress and
imbibed eagerly the rudiments of re-
ligion. He had been impressed with
the truth that God loved him. and
round much comfort in the knowledge.
One day not long after, some one tried
10 shake the child's faith by asking
him some puzzling questions:
If God really loves you why doesn't
HE take better care Of you? Why
doesn't He tell somebody to send YOU
a pair of shoes or else coal enough so
that you can keep warm in winter?''
The boy thought moment and then
said, as the tears rushed to his eyes:
7 guess He does tell somebody and
s5mebody forgets."
The saddest thing about the answer
Is its truth. God is not unmindful of
His little ones. Whether they are in
want of fire or food or advice or SYM
nathy, He calls us to supply the things
that are needed. He tells us that every
act of kindness or helpfulness done to
the least or lowest of His creatures
He will count as done to Him.
