THE WORD SHE REMEMBERED.

“You remember the sermon you heard, my dear?” The little one blushed and dropped her eyes, Then lifted them bravely with look of cheer— Eyes that were blue as the summer skies.
“I’m afraid I forgot what the minister said, He said so much to grown-up men, And the pulpit was ’way up over my head; But I told mama that he said, ‘Amen.’”
“And ‘amen,’ you know, means ‘let it be,’ Whatever our Lord may please to do, And that is sermon enough for me, If I mind and feel so the whole week through.”
I took the little one’s word to heart, I wish I could carry it all day long, The “amen” spirit, which hides the art To meet each cross with a happy song. —Anon.
