We notice in an English periodical the
following touching incident.


A little boy, whose parents were poor,
had been constant attendant upon Sabbath
school. 1t SO happened at one time, that he
was obliged to remain at home on account
Of the ragged state Of his clothes. Loving the
school and his teachers SO we'll, he desired
to go as he was; saying to his mother, "God
will not look at my ragged clothes and shoes !;
for he bids me come to school, and 1t is said
in the beautiful hymn that learned,


"Come We sinners, poor and needy,


Weak and wounded, sick and sore,


Jesus ready stands to save you
M Full Of pity, love and power" H4t


And am poor sinner, and Jesus is ready
to SAVE NE. o dear mother let me go Y


But when his mother told him that ne
would shortly have some decent clothes, he
sat down, reading his book for he was very
obedicnt to his parents and teachers. Often
times OH this Sabbath, would he raise his
voice 10 sing some hymn of praise to God,
and often bow his knee in prayer.


He soon was provided with suitable cloth
es; continued for several years at the school
at length became teacher, thena super
intendent, and afterwards preacher Of the
gospel.
