Marion’s loved the Lord Jesus, and often told her friends of the precious blood that had cleansed her from all her sins. There was one thing that made her unhappy, and that was that her little brother George was not yet saved. He was only seven years old, but she prayed and prayed that he too might learn to know the Lord Jesus as his own Saviour. During the summer, George went away to his uncle’s farm for two weeks, and Marion kept on praying. At last she sat down and wrote him this letter.
Dear brother George,
I write this letter and hope that you are quite well. I hope you feel the need of a Saviour. Do believe Jesus died for you. It is so simple: you have only to come to Him as a sinner, and He will pardon and save you. Think how sad it will be if you do not believe in Jesus now. You will be cast out into outer darkness where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Do come to Jesus now. Do not put it off till tomorrow. Tomorrow may not come. I am sure you have often heard of Jesus Christ and His love to poor sinners, and yet you have always turned away from Him. How terrible if all the family went to heaven and you were left out!
We are all well here at home, and will be glad to see you back again.
Your sister, Marion.
