George was just a little fellow, three or four years old, when he was taken one Sunday evening to hear the gospel preached. The preacher often repeated these words: “It is Jesus and His blood; that is for you, and that is for me.” This made a great impression on little George.
The next day an Irish lady, who had come to help his mother, was passing the window. Little George called after her saying he had something to tell her.
“Hi, my chicken?” she asked.
“I heard a man preach about God last night,” said George, “and he told us, ‘It’s Jesus and His blood; that’s for you, and that’s for me.’ "
And so earnest was little George that he struck his fist right through the window and broke the glass.
“George, whatever have you done?” exclaimed his mother, as she hurried into the room.
“Never mind about the window, Mother,” replied little George. “It is Jesus and His blood; that’s for you, and that’s for me.”
The poor Irish lady was becoming deeply interested in little George’s eagerness for her to believe what God says about Jesus and His blood, and Afterward she said that though she had often heard the same thing from his mother, yet she had never thought seriously about it before.
Soon after she came to the gospel meeting, and we believe that she was brought to trust in Christ through little George’s simple testimony to the blessed Saviour of sinners and His precious blood.
“Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings Thou hast perfected praise.”
