“Out of the Mouth of Babes”

At Nancy a man told Colporteur Riner that he did not believe in God, because he could not see Him. Thereupon a little girl who was listening said in a modest way, “When you put a piece of sugar in a glass of water, you can see it; but when it is melted, you see it no longer.” “No,” said the other, “but I taste it.” “Just so with God,” said the girl. “We don’t see Him, but we taste Him. He acts in the world as the piece of sugar in the water. You ought not to believe in the piece of sugar when you can not see it.” The unbeliever grew so confused that he walked away. — Bible Society Gleanings.
