Our vacation was spent in the coon, try on a farm where there Were horses, cows, and sheep, and lots of chickens. There was a river close by which we could cross by a boat.
The long summer days went quickly past, and we were sorry when the time came to return home. There was no Sunday school near, but my Father had an afternoon meeting for young folks at his farm. A lot of children came from the farms all over the district, and they were delighted.
On Sunday some of their parents came, so there was an evening gospel meeting begun for them. These dear folks seemed to drink in the glad tidings of free full salvation, as if they had never heard it before, and we know several cases of conversion. Three girls from another farm were saved and we sent them monthly gospel magazines to read. They were all much interested in answering the Bible questions. It was the happiest and best holiday I ever had because it was then that I was born again. I found there Christ Jesus as my Saviour, and oh, I have been so happy since.
Oh, dear young folks, it is wonderful to know the Lord Jesus when you’re young, and to be able to speak of Him to others.
