TOM WAS a boy who came to some of our children’s gospel services at one time. One night Tom stayed behind for the after-meeting, and there he found Christ as his Saviour. When he went home he did not run into the living room and tell his dear mother, but he slipped off upstairs in the dark without any supper and went to bed.
About 11 o’clock when his father and mother went up to bed, his mother said to her husband, “I’ll just look in Tom’s room and see if he is comfortable.” So she crept in softly so as not to waken him, and he looked very happy in his sleep. But she noticed by the dim light that his lips were moving, and she heard him whisper, “I am so glad that it is settled"; then a pause like snoring— "Jesus has taken all my sins away” — another pause — “I am washed in the blood of the Lamb.”
When Tom ran down to breakfast in the morning, his mother told him what he had said in his sleep.
Can you, my dear reader, say what Tom did? If not, why not get it settled now?
