One Saturday afternoon, little Emma came into her mother's room, and
said to her, "Mother, may I go with Abba to her Sunday school? She says,
they are all so happy there."
"My child," said her mother, "why do you wish to leave your own school
and go to a strange one?"
"Because, mother, Abba has often told me what a good school they have,
and how much she loves it."
"Well, as you are very anxious to go, I will grant your request this
once, on condition that it must never be repeated."
The next morning, this pleasant little girl was up very early to make
ready to go with her friend to the new Sabbath school.
She was delighted with all she saw and heard; and when the pastor took
her by the hand, she said to herself, "I wish mother would permit me to
come here every Sunday. I will ask her, at any rate." After the school
was dismissed, she went home, revolving in her mind what she should say
to obtain her mother's consent.
Her mother observed how thoughtful she appeared, and said to her, "Emma,
how did you like Abba's Sunday school?"
"Oh, mother! I was so happy; do let me go there.
