A Converted Farmer

Listen from:
A SMALL group of children were on their way to Sunday school one Sunday morning. One of them had a little packet of gospel tracts. They passed the farm of a neighbor who had long neglected going to the gospel preachings; in fact, he had gone downhill for some time.
One energetic little gospeler climbed over the fence and fastened a gospel tract to the man’s plow, and then went on to Sunday school.
Monday morning the farmer returned to his plowing, found the tract, read it, took it home and read it again and again. His heart and conscience were stirred. In repentance he sought the Lord, who graciously received him, for He has said, “Him that cometh to Me I will in no wise cast out.” John 6:3737All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. (John 6:37). The farmer found peace in the Saviour’s love. And all this through a gospel tract given out by a little child.
Memory Verse: “JESUS STOOD AND CRIED, SAYING, IF ANY MAN THIRST, LET HIM COME UNTO ME, AND DRINK.” John 7:3737In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. (John 7:37).
