SOME friends of mine often drive to the towns near them, and distribute gospel books and tracts. One afternoon they stopped in front of some cottages, from one of which an aged woman came out to take the offered book. My friend said a few words to her as to her feebleness and great age; and went on to speak of eternity, which she was nearing. They were glad to hear in reply that she was saved, and had been so for years. They asked why she believed herself saved. Drawing herself up straight, she said,
“Why do I say I am saved? Because Christ died for my sins, and was raised again for my justification.”
Happy Christian! She knew more than all the philosophy or science of this twentieth century can teach! When this scene has passed away forever, she will be reigning with Christ, who was everything to her.
