HURRYING to his home through the public square of a town in the country of Brazil, a careless and utterly godless young man spied a little red book resting on the branch of a leafy tree. Now in this very hot country it is not unusual for young people to climb up into big, shady trees to read, being thus protected from the sun’s fierce heat.
The young man picked up a stone and with careful aim knocked down the little volume. It was a copy of the New Testament in the Spanish language. He had never before seen such a book. As he glanced through the pages he was so impressed that he decided to read the book from the beginning. The good seed of God’s Word slipped into his mind and heart and he was truly saved. Now it is his greatest joy to preach the gospel that others in that faraway land may know Jesus as their Lord and Saviour, too.
