WE HAD been having a Sunday school for boys and girls in our neighborhood and since then some have written telling how they had been brought to know the Lord Jesus. I received one from a boy named John who was now on one of the training ships. He also wrote to his teacher who loved him and had prayed for him while he was in Sunday school.
John used to play about in Sunday school with other boys and caused a lot of sorrow to his teacher. But much prayer went up to the Lord for him and he began to show an interest.
Then the time came for him to leave and on the farewell Sunday the parting gift from the Sunday school was a Bible. Now the answer has come and he has confessed the Lord Jesus as his Saviour. This is what he writes: “I have only been here eleven weeks but in that time I have confessed the Lord as the only Way. I knew three other girls who wrote to you and I attended the same Sunday school. Just before I came here a gentleman gave us an address one Sunday in which he told us that the Lord was saying COME, and that one day He would stop and it would be too late. For the word COME he told us that
“C” was for CHILDREN to come,
“O” was for OLDER PEOPLE to come,
“M” was for ME to come,
“E” was for EVERYBODY to come.
“And the song I shall always remember is ‘Keep me shining, Lord.’ "
In a letter to the superintendent of the Sunday school John wrote: “Please tell the children at the Sunday school that I always remember them in my prayers. Tell Ruth (who has recently received the Saviour) that I rejoice with her in knowing the Lord is my very own.
“Also will you please ask Norman, Will you confess the Lord Jesus? I cannot bear to think of you being outside. ' "
Will those boys and girls who read our little magazine and have trusted the Lord Jesus, join me in prayer that many more young ones may be brought to the Saviour? The time is short. The Lord’s coming is very near. This should make us to be real earnest to win others for Him.
