User-Contributed Transcription when Jesus took little children, just like Hattie, in his arms, and blessed them of his many, many loving words and gentle deeds, then of his fear but death. How eager becomes the gaze of the listener, as her mother pictures the scene of our Saviour's ascension! as she tells how he assembled a company of his loving friends, and led them to the top of a tall mountain. the Mount of Olivet, and there told them to be ever mindful of one another, to remember and often speak of him, and to send tidings of his love all over the earth, and as he raised his hands to bless them, how the clouds parted above, and he was lifted up, up,up, higher, higher, higher, and still they gazed until the rosy clouds folded again, and angel bands, whence came floating down sweet strains of music, bore him to his Father's bosom. Then follow mysterious questions, such as children alone can ask, and only mothers can answer.Ah! who may tell how much of heaven that little heart learns in these twilight hours? Who may say that in the quiet
