This is Kitty, I think. How do you do, my little
girl? Edward, do you know such a Bible verse as this: 'I love the Lord,
because He has heard my voice and my supplication'?"
"No, sir," answered Tip eagerly; "_is_ there such a verse?"
"Yes, somewhere in the Psalms you will find it. I don't remember just
where. Can you feel the truth of it when you think of your sister?"
"Yes, sir, I _can_. God _did_ hear me."
"And you think you love Jesus to-night, Kitty?"
Kitty felt a great awe for the minister, and her "Yes, sir," was low, and
spoken in a timid voice.
"What makes you think so?"
"I--I don't know; only I pray, and He hears me, and I like to."
"Well, now, Kitty, almost the first thing which people think of after
they have found Jesus, is something to do for Him; they begin to look
around to see what they can find. What are you going to do?"
"I don't know, sir; I haven't got anything I can do."
"Ah, that's a mistake! you can find plenty of work if you look for it;
only don't look too far, because it is the little bits of things which
come right in your way that Jesus wants you to do.
