A Little Boy's Question

A brother related a touching incident which occured in Brooklyn. “A little boy asked his father at the dinner table, Papa, why donH you read the Bible?’ The father was a passionate man, and was about driving the boy out of his presence, but his anger made the little fellow weep. That brought tears to the mother’s eyes, and then the father followed suit. The boy’s tears moved him, and the question struck his heart; and father and mother, up to that hour unconverted, were soon on their way to the prayer-meeting, where they found Jesus.”
