Sister Carolyn has asked his class: "I will come to you all with questions about God, and let us better understand and work together." It looked like Jeremiah Benton, who had his hand, "Okay," he said, "You go first, Jeremiah ?:"

"Why has God sent His prophets, rather than come to him in person ?" Benton asked Jeremiah, Sister Carolyn and her classmates at Ecole St. Louis elementary school, a little "French Catholic school, built in 1888, in the middleCenter, St. Paul, Minnesota, in the winter 1957th

"That's a good question," the nun said: "I do not know, right?"

"Oh yes," replied the boy of ten years.

"Well," said Sister Carolyn, "what is the answer?"

"It's scary!" said the boy.

"Oh, but that will not do it," said the nun, "like a child, as you know that it is primarily afraid of?" asked the nun.

"I had a dream last night, and God, he took me back and showed me the whole thing."He said the boy, very seriously.

"You lie, you Jeremiah?" asked the nun.

"Oh no, I'm not kidding, it's true." Jeremiah said: "Hand on heart," and the boy has done just that, a mark upon his heart.

"Well," the nun said: "Well, then here in front of the class and tell us all your wonderful dream, God showed the same to you, because it sends prophets, rather than come himself in person."

The boy hesitated and then said, "Oh, good,think, 'and got up and went to the island, a few desks centered itself at the center of teaching, the teacher's desk, both hands resting, palms on the back wooden desk, and sits on the edge , the panel at his side.

The class was still in the stone, and Jeremiah was trying to figure out how to begin his story, he had not planned on the exchange, but there was, then he said:having a blast

"? Once upon a time:

"When God found me in his boat, while in my dream, called me into a far country," the city of Adam, "she said," A prophet is a man of my warnings are people, things that annoy me Points Elijah was one of those people, I also kept the rain it a point for the people to prove by my message out, "Then I asked God. why not just do it yourself, and nobody is confused about the orders he gave me a."Hum ?" one of those things, I do not know what he thought at that moment and then said: ". I do not think that confuses people, but there is a God, you know" And I said, I know, but people are confused. And he has a "buzz made ? mm 'order that a second time

"I asked him if he started all this secret stuff, sends prophets to do his job!" (The nun looked at Jeremiah and frowned on this statement. "Abraham was the first prophet 'then a classmate called No''ha said anotherStudent was, "Adam" was the first. ')

"However," continued the boy, "I was in the boat with God, and came to this city, called" The City of Adam "from the Jordan, and said:" It happens here, Jeremiah, in those distant days before the flood I went to my people to talk to ? "

(Jeremiah tells the story time in his own words, while his classmates twice as concentrated on him, is not a peep, or noise in the same class, and even the nun who fearWait, almost with bated breath):

"God said it was his prophet himself, but when he came to speak to his people when he spoke, and when people saw him, the earth shook as if it were an egg on the tip of a needle, and the People were afraid, and his voice from one side of the earth by the earth on the other side against the men were hiding, thought it would be an earthquake, the earth shook, and when shown the face of God in the sky The sun was blocked, andwas all they could see what you and the people were digging holes to hide in the ground, trembling with fear. And God said, It is only me, your creator, why are you shaking? "And the people shouted:" Because you are too great for us to see, "and some even died of a heart attack, then God said:" I promise you, I send my prophets instead of me, not so frightening. "And people were happy."
