Little Jackie

It has often been said, and rightly, I am sure, that the child is the ideal convert. “Jesus called a little child unto Him, and set him in the midst of them, and said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.” The picture stands out clearly, limned by the Master Artist, and even the blindest can scarcely fail to see it—the tender, gentle Saviour, the playing child, the call of love, the immediate response with neither fear nor hesitation, then the little one placed in the centre of the group and used as a picture to illustrate pure faith. “He called, and I came,” said one, when asked to explain what saving faith really was.
