Until I bring thee home'!""

[LESSON XCV. is a touching description of a little girl's prayer. She prays that the Lord will draw near, and make his presence known to her -that he will dwell in her heart-lead her in the right way-preserve the lives of her parents, etc. Although she can not see the Lord with her natural eyes, she looks upward with the eye of faith, and believes that her prayer will be heard and answered.]
