LITTLE ELLEN: The Girl Who Saw Heaven

2 WORKING FOR OTHERS

Ellen' s heart was full of the love of Jesus. She wanted everyone to love Him. She talked to her playmates about Jesus. She prayed for them. She held little prayer meetings. Because of her work many of her friends learned to love Jesus.

They began to work for others, too. Ellen wanted to do more missionary work. She and her sisters said: "We must earn money. Then we can buy books and papers to give away." They knit stockings. They helped their father make hats. Ellen was not strong, but she worked all she could.

She earned twenty-five cents a day. With this money she bought books and papers. She gave them away. In this way she helped many people to hear of Jesus. Day by day Ellen learned more of Jesus and His love.

One of the ministers said: "I think the Lord is getting Ellen ready to do a great work for Him." She was a true Christian.

Think about the kinds of things you might be able to do to help people. Also think about ways that you might help people to learn about Jesus love for them.
