Arthur had come to the tent service. Quite a number of children had come that evening. How thoughtfully they listened, how they sang the choruses telling of the Saviour and His love.
But although they all seemed interested, they all, except Arthur, went away, after the meeting was over. It was getting dark, and away at the back of the tent Arthur sat. The Holy Spirit had shown him he was all wrong, and although not very old, yet the Word of God had said,
“All have sinned,” so that included him. How earnestly he listened to God’s Word as it was read to him, showing him that although he was a sinner, Christ Jesus came to save such. With what joy did he believe God’s message, and leave the tent to go home to tell his parents the glad news that he was “saved.”
I met him a little while afterward, and he appeared sad, and so he was. What could be the reason. He soon told me, he had no Bible and badly wanted one. How pleased he was when a copy was given him.
Soon a letter came to say he was reading it through, and writing down in a notebook, as he came to them, all the promises he found. Is the Lord Jesus your Saviour? If He is, do you love His Word?
