A CHILD'S REBUKE.

A baker who was a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ, was one day hurrying along with a tray in his arms, when just as he passed through a side door he accidentally ran against his little girl, a child about three years of age. Annoyed and irritated at the moment because he had, as he supposed, hurt the little one, he shouted in a loud angry voice, "Get out of the way!" and passed on. More frightened at the father's stentorian shout than by the trifling accident, the child went whimpering down the yard, and meeting her aunt, was asked if she was hurt. "Ess," replied the little creature, "but Jesus didn't 'peak in dat way to 'ittle child'en—he took 'em up in his arms, he did." What a rebuke from the mouth of a child!
