John 1:40-41 One of the two which heard John speak, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.… "I was visiting at my brother's one time," says a lady, "when Richard, his little boy, stopped suddenly in his play, and looked steadily at me for a minute. 'What are you thinking about?' I asked. 'Are you a Christian, auntie?' 'I hope so, dear.' 'But you never speak of Jesus; if you loved Him very much, would you not talk about Him sometimes?' 'We may love a person without speaking of him,' I replied. 'May we! I did not know that. You love to talk of your brothers and sisters, and your papa and mamma, don't you, auntie?' 'Yes.' 'And then you speak of other people and things you like; but you speak no word for Jesus. Don't you love Him, auntie?' 'Yes.' 'Then I should think you could not help speaking of Him sometimes.'"
