SOME time ago there was quite a work of God going on in the Sunday school at L., and many of the children gave their hearts to the Lord Jesus.
Several boys, anxious for the conversion of their school-mates, agreed to meet every day to pray for them. Where do you suppose they held their meeting? In the barn, on the top of the hay-mow.
The father of one of them noticed that these boys went into his barn and spent almost the whole of their noon hour there. As he entered the barn one day, he heard a low murmur in the hay-mow. It was the voices of these children, praying to God to convert their play-mates; and God heard their prayer, and brought one after another to own the Lord Jesus as their Saviour, and they, too, joined in praying for others.
Dear children, the same Saviour, who was so precious to these boys, is saying to you: “Him that cometh to Me I will in no wise cast out,” and, “Behold, I stand at the door, and knock ; if any man hear My voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and sup with him, and with him, and he with me.” Rev. 3:2020Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. (Revelation 3:20).
As you hear His gracious message,
Lift your little voice and say—
“Lord, Thou lovest little children,
Make me Thine own child today.”
