IN A LITTLE country village an evangelist was holding some tent meetings. The meetings were well attended and some came long distances to hear the gospel message One man invited the speaker for supper and sent his little girl to show him the way.
Before starting for home she said to Mr. Marshall, “I would like to be a real Christian.” At once he took his Bible and as simply as possible he told her of the Saviour who said, “Suffer the little children to come unto Me, and forbid them not for of such is the kingdom of heaven.” When they arrived at the house she told her parents that she had trusted Jesus and was going to be now a real Christian, After supper one of her brothers, a dear boy of nine years old, said to Mr. Marshall, “I want to be a real Christian too.” With what joy the evangelist told the boy the way of salvation, and pointed him to the Lord Jesus. “Of such is the kingdom of heaven.”
Only a little girl and boy. Was it real? Did they understand? Did they grow up to be true followers of the Lord Jesus? The answer is yes. The little girl became a missionary and the little boy also went as a medical missionary to India.
