"You know, sir one servant had ten and another had five.
What are my talents?"
"I do not know."
"But how can I tell, Mr. Dinwiddie?"
Then the young man's eyes glowed, as Daisy had a few times seen them do before.
"Ask the Lord, Daisy. See what His word tells you to do."
"But Mr. Dinwiddie, I am little; I can't do much."
"You cannot do anything. But Jesus can use you, to do what He pleases, if you will be His little servant. Give me that spoon, Nora."
"But, Marmaduke "
"Yes I know," said her brother. He took from Nora's hand? and unfolded from its wrapping-paper a very curious thing, which he told Daisy was an Egyptian spoon. He did not give her time to look at it, only he held it so that she saw what it was.
"You see that spoon, Daisy. It cannot do anything. But in your hand it might carry drops of comfort to somebody's lips."
