THE soft snow had been coming down during the night, and our poor boy was out early in the morning trying to earn a little money. You see he has no shoes nor coat on this cold morning. We hope the people were kind to him, and gave him the work to do, and paid him well for his work, which would enable him to buy the clothing he needed.
How many of our dear readers have comforts in this life, and yet are dissatisfied, not thinking how they may be helping others who are in worse circumstances, or rather those who have nothing?
Have you ever thought, dear child, how you might be able to help such, and use that as a means to get them to know Jesus as their Saviour?
Perhaps some who read these lines have not found the Lord Jesus as their own Saviour as yet, and they may be living in all the selfishness of this life, getting every good thing they can for themselves, and not even thinking of where they are going to spend their eternity.
If it is so with you, dear reader, I beg of you to stop and consider where you are going, and take your place as a poor needy sinner, accept the Saviour who died for sinners such as you. If you know Him, you will think of His love to you in giving His life for you; then it will be an easy matter to seek the good of others, doing for them all the good you can, and telling them too of Jesus as their Saviour.
May all my readers learn a helpful lesson from this picture before us.
