I WAS spending the evening with a Christian farmer, in whose home we had a happy meeting with a bright lot of young converts to Christ. One of them drove me to the station, a happy boy of sixteen, converted only about three weeks before.
“It was in the hayfield I was brought to Christ,” he said, “while sitting on a pile of hay. It was lunch hour and several of the young fellows sitting beside me were speaking about their conversion and telling of how they were saved. I listened and learned what I had long wished to know — how one could really be saved and know it. It seemed all so simple, just to believe on Christ and be saved wholly by Him. I said to the one that sat next to me, ‘If that’s the way, then I’m saved too!’ And he jumped up and said, ‘Praise the Lord.’ The field rang that afternoon with singing, and I cannot tell you how happy I have been ever since.”
Happy young boy! He knew what many of the world’s great ones do not know — true happiness and peace. Reader, do you? You can, if you will believe.
