THE PRAYING LITTLE CRIPPLE.
By Christian Companion
I ONCE knew a little cripple who lay upon her death-bed. She had given herself to God, and was distressed only because she could not labor for him among the lost. Her clergyman visited her, and hearing her complaint, told her that there from her sick-bed she could offer prayers for those whom she wished to see turning to God. He advised her to write the names down, and then pray earnestly, and then went away and thought of the subject no more. Soon a feeling of great religious interest sprang up in the village, and the churches were crowded nightly. The little cripple heard of the progress of the revival, and inquired anxiously for the names of the converted. A few days later she died, and among a roll of papers that was found under her little pillow was one bearing the names of fifty-six persons; every one of whom had in the revival, been converted. —Christian Companion.
