"But suppose, Mr. Dinwiddie--"
"Yes. What?"
"Suppose I can't. I don't know how."
"Do you want to do it?"
"Yes, sir. Indeed I do."
"Very well; the Lord knows just what your difficulty is; you must apply
to him."
"Apply to him?" said Daisy.
"Ask him."
"How, sir?"
"Pray to him. Tell the Lord your trouble, and ask him to make it all
right for you. Did you never pray to him?"
"No, sir--not ever."
"My lamb," said Mr. Dinwiddie, "he will hear you, if you never prayed to
him before. I will shew you the word of his promise." And he opened a
pocket-Bible and found the place of these words which he gave Daisy to
read. "'_I will put a new spirit within you; and I will take the stony
heart out of their flesh, and will give them an heart of flesh; that
they may walk in my statutes, and keep mine ordinances, and do them: and
they shall be my people, and I will be their God_.' Now is that what you
want, Daisy?"
"Yes, sir; only I don't know how."
"Never mind; the Lord knows. He will make it all right, if only you are
willing to give yourself to be his little servant.
