IT was near school time, and quite a number of boys and girls were around the village school-door, discussing last night’s children’s meeting.
Various were the opinions expressed, when M—got on the step and said:
“Look here, boys, I have found out something this morning—you can be saved just anywhere. All you have to do is to own that you are a lost sinner, and believe the gospel—believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. You have to look to Him and live, which just means the same thing. I knelt down at the bedside this morning, and I looked to Jesus, and can now say I am saved.”
All eyes were on him as he finished this little confession of his faith, and there was a general approval of it, which was cut short by the school bell ringing them into lines ready to march into school.
Have you, dear young readers, discovered this blessed fact: that if as sinners you come to Jesus, He will save you there and then and finally bring you to His eternal home? If you have, do not be ashamed to own His blessed name.
