"I don't see how He can love me," said Dolly slowly. "Why, I am a stranger to Him, Aunt Harry."
"Ah, you are no stranger! Oh yes, Dolly, He loves you dearly; and He knows all about you."
Dolly considered the matter a little, and also considered her aunt, whose lips were quivering and whose eyes were dropping tears. With a very serious face Dolly considered the matter: and came to a conclusion with promptitude unusual in this one subject of all the world. She half rose up in her bed.
"Then I love Him," she said. "I will love Him, too, Aunt Harry."
"Will you, my darling?"
"But I do not know how to be His servant."
"Jesus will teach you Himself, if you ask Him."
"How will He teach me?"
"He will make you understand His word, and let you know what pleases Him. He says, 'If ye love me, keep My commandments.'"
"His commandments are in the Bible, aren't they?"
