“Miss Lillie, do you know the rest of that verse?” he asked.
“No,” she replied, stopping short; “do you?”
“Yes,” replied Tom; “I know all the hymn.”
“Well, then, sing it,” she demanded.
Tom looked toward Mrs. Sutherland, but her eyes were turned away, so he looked down into the waiting face upturned toward him, and softly and gently gave the sweet words:
“Jesus loves me—this I know,
For the Bible tells me so;
Little ones to him belong;
They are weak, but he is strong.
Yes, Jesus loves me.
