A GOOD many years ago, a Sunday school superintendent asked each one present to bring a new scholar to the school on the next Sunday.
Little Mary Paxton went home and asked her father to come to the school.
He was nearly forty years old and so ignorant that he could not read. He was rough in appearance and rude in speech. He hated the preaching of the Word of God and despised Sunday schools and everything good. But he loved his little Mary, and when she took him by the hand he did not resist. He was led to Sunday school, and better still, he was led to Christ. Then he learned to read, for Christ's sake, that he might better serve Him, and he finally came to be a Sunday school evangelist. He was useful in his work, for he founded fifteen hundred Sunday schools, into which seventy thousand children were gathered and out of which sprang abundant blessing.
When little Mary was leading her father to Sunday school, she little knew that she was leading a train of thousands up the shining way that leads to God.
Will you seek to bring someone to the Sunday school or gospel preaching? Who can tell what the result may be?
When Peter came to the Lord Jesus, he at once went to his brother Simon, and he brought him to Jesus, and they both followed Jesus.
