“I say, Frank, that was a mean trick I served you. You took it so cool I was ashamed of myself, and I don’t blame the boys and girls for being down on me.”
He had not asked forgiveness, but Frankie did not wait for that.
“Never mind, Ben,” he said, cordially. “We’ll have another race to-morrow. Come home with me and see Aleck. Poor fellow! He gets lonesome.” So they walked on together.
“What makes you so much better than the other boys?” asked Ben, abruptly.
“O Ben, don’t speak in that way,” said Frankie, looking troubled. “I’m not good, but, do you know, it is ever so much easier to keep from getting angry if you think about Jesus.”
Ben looked astonished, but Frankie told him in his own childlike way of the Saviour, and how he would help even little children to serve him.
It was in this way that Aleck and Frankie worked for Jesus, by obeying him, and by telling others of him.
