and pray. 'O, sister,' he said, 'you will lose your soul if you don't
pray. Do, do ask Jesus to forgive your sins, He will hear you, He will
make you happy; do, do come right to Him, won't you, sissy?' But his
sister (who was six years old) turned a deaf ear to his entreaties, and
it grieved him so, that he would go away and cry and pray for her with
exceeding great earnestness.

"Months after, he had the happiness of seeing his sister converted to
Jesus, and knowing that his infant prayer was answered, and great indeed
was the joy of this young saint, as well as that of the rest of the
household as they saw these two of their precious flock going off to
pray together, not only for themselves, but for an older brother, who
seemed to have no sympathy with them."

"Well," said my friend, "this is indeed as remarkable as any thing I
ever read, and I must say, hearing it from your own lips, has a
tendency to remove that prejudice I have felt toward reading children's
conversion. Did this child live?"

"O, yes, and remains a consistent follower of Jesus; he is now twelve
years old."

"This is a very remarkable case," continued my friend; "very rare
precocity. I have never met with any thing of the kind in my life."

"Yet, I have known several such instances in my short life, one more of
which I must detain you to relate."
