A Touching Reply.

In a Christian family, near Amoy, China, a little boy, the youngest of three children, on asking his father to allow him to be baptized, was told that he was too young; that he might fall back if he made a profession when he was only a little boy. To this he made the following touching reply: “Jesus has promised to carry the lambs in his arms. As I am only a little boy, it will be easier for Jesus to carry me.” This logic of the heart was too much for the father. He took him with him, and the dear one was ere long baptized. The whole family, of which this child is the youngest member—the father, mother, and three sons—are all members of the Mission Church at Amoy.—Miss. Inst.
