The Faith of a Child
The Sunday School Times
Mark 2:5
When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the sick of the palsy, Son, your sins be forgiven you.


An evangelist of today tells that, after one of his meetings, he observed that a little girl kept her seat after all others had left. Thinking that the child was asleep, he stepped forward to awaken her, but found she was praying that God would send her drunken father to that meeting house that very night, there to be converted. The evangelist waited, and soon a man came rushing in from the street, and knelt tremblingly at the child's side. He had been brought thither by a sudden impulse which he could not resist, and then and there he found Christ. The child's faith was honoured in the conversion of her father.
