The King of Prussia, while visiting a village in his land, was welcomed by the school children of the place. After their speaker had made a speech for them, he thanked them. Then taking an orange from a plate, he asked: "To what kingdom does this belong?" "The vegetable kingdom, sir," replied a little girl. The king took a gold coin from his pocket and asked, "To what kingdom does this belong?" "To the mineral kingdom," said the little girl. "And to what kingdom do I belong, then?" asked the king. The little girl colored up deeply, for she did not like to say "the animal kingdom," as he thought she would, lest his Majesty should be offended. Just then it flashed into her mind that "God made man in His own image," and looking up with a brightening eye she said: "To God's Kingdom, sir." The king was deeply moved. A tear stood in his eye. He placed his hand on the child's head, and said, most devoutly: "God grant that I may be accounted worthy of that Kingdom." --Gospel Herald
