MR. BAILEY often gave gospel tracts to people he met. This is a wonderful little work that Christian boys and girls can do, and much? blessing may be the result of it.
One day Mr. Bailey gave a tract to a man on the street. The title was, “I am Not Going to a Christless Grave. Are You?” Ten years later Mr. Bailey was visiting a town about 80 miles away. Suddenly a man on the street came up to Mr. Bailey and warmly shook his hand. He said, “You’re the man that gave me a tract many years ago. I want to tell you that I am NOT going to a Christless grave now! Jesus is any Saviour.”
The Lord says, “My Word ... shall not return unto Me void.” Isa 55:1111So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. (Isaiah 55:11). The Lord never forgets any little work we do out of love for Him, and will reward us in a coming day. We may not see any results here, but He still wants us to sow the Gospel seed.
